Wren’s voice was pleading, but a chill ran down Nyla’s spine. This must be the real reason she had called.

Nyla had already been blackmailed by Clark numerous times with the promise of a kidney donation for her father, only to be betrayed when the kidney was given to Jordyn’s father instead.

“Wren, I can’t agree to this,” Nyla replied firmly. “A person can’t live without bottom lines. If I compromise this time, I’ll be letting Clark control me forever.”

She had compromised too many times before, each instance leading to more pain and betrayal from Clark. She wouldn’t trust him again, nor would she compromise.

There was a long silence on the other end of the line, followed by the sound of the call being disconnected.

Nyla had no intention of calling back. She simply put down her phone and went to take a shower.

The next few days passed quietly.

Clark didn’t reach out, and Nyla’s life returned to its calm routine.

Just when she thought she could approach Richard in about a week to quietly discuss divorcing Clark, news broke out that Jordyn was pregnant. Photos of Clark and Jordyn kissing resurfaced and began trending once more.

Unaware that Jordyn’s pregnancy had been exposed, Nyla noticed people giving her sympathetic looks as she walked into the office, leaving her puzzled.

Did she have something on her face?

She had no idea that people were now assuming she would soon be abandoned by Clark. After all, it had only been a few days since their hidden marriage was made public.

Now, news of Jordyn’s pregnancy had leaked, along with the recent photos of her kissing Clark. It was hard not to assume that the child was Clark’s.

When Nyla entered the lab, she noticed that even Melody was sneaking glances at her, her expression a mix of sympathy and hesitation.

Nyla frowned. “Melody, did something happen? Why is everyone looking at me so strangely?”

“You really don’t know?” Melody’s gaze filled with even more pity as she looked at Nyla.

“What’s going on? Don’t just stand there. Tell me!” Nyla demanded.

“Well… just look for yourself,” Melody muttered, thrusting a phone screen in front of Nyla.

Nyla took a closer look, and her expression darkened instantly.

She quickly pulled out her phone and called Clark, but despite several attempts, he didn’t pick up. With each unanswered call, her expression grew increasingly grim.

Meanwhile, Clark was ordering Michael to replace out who had leaked the news about Jordyn’s pregnancy

online.

“Mr. Sumner, it was first posted on a foreign website, and we can’t trace the specific IP address,” Michael reported.

Clark’s expression turned icy. “So you’re telling me you can’t replace out who did this?”

“…Yes,” Michael replied.

“Useless!” Clark angrily slammed a folder to the floor. “There are only a handful of people who know about Jordyn’s pregnancy. Investigate every single one! I refuse to believe we can’t uncover the truth!”

He had just publicly announced his marriage to Nyla, and now, someone had deliberately leaked Jordyn’s pregnancy. It had to be intentional!

Clark suspected that Damon might be behind it.

“Focus the investigation on my uncle!” Clark ordered.

“Yes, sir!” Michael responded promptly.

As Michael left, Clark’s phone rang. He assumed it was Nyla again and was about to hang up, but when he saw it was Richard, his expression turned grim.
