Chapter 107
âJordyn, it seems Iâve been too kind to you lately, and youâve forgotten your place,â Clark remarked.
The pain in Jordynâs scalp made her eyes well up with tears, and Clarkâs menacing expression terrified her.
âClark⦠what are you saying? I donât understandâ¦â
âYou donât understand? If thatâs the case, then you should go outside Nylaâs ward and stay there until you do,â he said.
Jordynâs face paled as she realized what was happening. âI didnât know
. Ms. Jayston called and said she was kidnapped. I thought she was trying to get you to go to her place⦠Iâm sorryâ¦â
The moment she finished speaking, Clark slapped her hard. The force was so great that if he hadnât been holding her hair, she would have fallen.
Jordyn let out a cry of pain, feeling her face burn as it started to swell.
Clark looked at her with a chilling glare. âShe is my wife. Even if she was manipulating me, as long as Iâm willing, itâs not for you to interfere. If you donât want to end up dead, donât try to test my limits.â
Just thinking about how close Jordyn came to causing Nylaâs death made Clark want to strangle her.
His gaze was so terrifying that Jordyn trembled uncontrollably. She had never seen him this angry before. However, her jealousy grew as she thought about how his anger was all for Nyla.
Why didnât that bitch die? If Nyla had died, she wouldnât be suffering like this nowâ¦
âClark⦠I know I was wrong⦠Iâm sorry. I didnât know Ms. Jayston was
really kidnappedâ¦â
Tears flowed continuously from Jordynâs eyes, her face a mask of fear and regret.
Clark released her and turned to leave.
Only when he was gone did Jordyn wipe away her tears, her initial sadness and fear replaced by a calm demeanor,
She got up, walked into the bedroom, and pulled out a file from the deepest drawer of the bedside table. It was labeled âMedical Examination Reportâ in bold letters,
She had made a copy of the medical reports for Clark and Nyla when she first got them. Now, the reports were about to come into play,
While holding the file tightly, Jordynâs eyes were filled with cold resolve.
The next morning, Nyla was woken by a commotion,
As soon as she opened her eyes, the hospital room door was flung open. Luciaâs parents barged in, pushing the nurse aside.
As soon as Jade Emerson reached the bedside, she began wailing. â Nyla⦠Lucia grew up with you. Sheâs just lost her mind this time. For the sake of your past relationship, can you forgive her this once?â
Despite Jadeâs tears, Nylaâs expression remained unchanged. âMrs. Pollard, youâre looking for the wrong person. At this point, itâs more effective to consult a lawyer.â
Jade was stunned, staring at Nyla in disbelief. âYou and Lucia used to be so close. Are you really going to disregard all that?â
Nyla smiled faintly, speaking slowly. âShe was nice to me before only because I was the daughter of Harris Pharmaceuticalsâ boss, and your

husband was the purchasing manager there. She needed to flatter me to secure your husbandâs position,
âAnd as for sentiment, sheâs done something as extreme as kidnapping me and trying to kill me. It seems thereâs no sentiment left to discuss between us,â
Jadeâs gaze turned icy upon seeing that Nyla, despite her smile, had no intention of letting Lucia off.
âNyla, youâre fine. Why wonât you let Lucia go? After all Iâve done for you, how did you become so vicious?â Jade asked,
