Cindy turned to him in disbelief, her body trembling with rage.” Are you saying I’m embarrassing?”

“Isn’t it true? Look at everything you’ve done recently–none of

it has worked out. If you’re incapable, stop making things worse!” Clark snapped.

His anger was palpable, and his words were harsh and unforgiving.

Tears streamed down Cindy’s face as she choked out, “If it weren’t for my useless husband and son, would I have to do all this? Now you complain that I’m making things worse. Why aren’t you capable of bailing your dad out? Clark, I am so disappointed in you!”

With that, she shoved the car door open and stormed off.

Clark didn’t follow her, his expression dark and stormy.

Why couldn’t Cindy understand him?

With his current capabilities, he couldn’t possibly get Cyrus out of the police station.

Moreover, what Cyrus had done was a fact. The immediate priority was to take over the company from him and then figure out other ways to help, even if it meant just making his life a bit easier inside.

The more Clark thought about it, the colder his expression became.

He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Have you found the person yet?”

“Don’t worry. It’s a matter of a couple of days,” the person on the other end replied.

“If you replace them by tomorrow, I’ll double the previously agreed- upon reward!” Clark promised..

In the pitch–dark car, the faint light from Clark’s phone illuminated his features, casting a strange and unsettling glow.

“I’ll contact you tomorrow,” the other party replied.

After ending the call, Clark smirked. He was eager to see whether Damon loved Nyla or the other woman more.

That night, Nyla went to bed early and was unaware that, not long after she fell asleep, Spencer arrived to meet Damon with

a document in hand.

“Mr. Sumner, I’ve discovered that Gabriel Hackett is Nyla’s stepbrother. He’s been abroad for six years and has only returned once, but Ms. Jayston was traveling at the time, so they didn’t meet. According to the information we’ve gathered, their relationship isn’t very good,” Spencer reported.

Damon briefly glanced at the document and then said, “You can leave now.”

After reviewing Gabriel’s information, Damon called Spencer. Have HR contact him and offer him a position at Prospectus

The next morning, Nyla arrived at the office and received a call from William.

William informed her that Cindy was willing to settle but was unwilling to apologize personally. However, she was open to negotiating compensation for emotional distress.

This didn’t surprise Nyla.

Getting an apology from Cindy was likely as difficult as reaching the stars. However, that wasn’t her concern.

“Tell her I only want an apology,” Nyla replied.

After hanging up, Nyla entered the elevator.

People around her kept glancing in her direction, but she ignored them and calmly pressed the close door button.

The morning passed quickly, and around noon, Wren unexpectedly came to the office to see her.

Nyla took her to the cafe downstairs and asked, “Wren, did you come to see me about something?”

Wren rarely visited in person unless it was absolutely

necessary.

Wren’s expression was cold. The thought of Gabriel ignoring her objections and returning to the country made her resent

Nyla. If Nyla hadn’t offended the Sumners, Gabriel’s return wouldn’t be such a concern.

“I talked to your father last night. He doesn’t want to go abroad. After thinking it over, it’s indeed inconvenient with the language barrier. It might be better for him to continue treatment domestically. The medical standards here aren’t much worse than those abroad,” Wren said.
