Chapter 157

Seeing Nyla biting her lip and remaining silent, Damon sneered and pushed her aside, preparing to leave.

In a panic, Nyla quickly stopped him by grabbing his hand.

Damon tensed, his gaze turning cold and dangerous.

“Let go!” he barked.

Nyla bit her lip. “Uncle Damon, do you really have to push me this far?”

Damon smirked coldly. “Nyla, do you know what would have happened if Cyrus had found you in his study?”

Nyla was unaware of Cyrus‘ true nature, yet she had dared to sneak into his study. Had Cyrus caught her, she might have vanished without a trace–something that had happened before.

Her grip on Damon tightened involuntarily, her face growing pale under the harsh light.

“Still not talking?” Damon’s voice loomed above her.

Nyla took a deep breath and said slowly, “I… I wanted to find my marriage certificate with Clark…”

“Why would your marriage certificate be in Cyrus‘ study?” Damon asked, his skepticism clear.

Nyla bit her lip and continued her story. “When we got married, Clark said he’d keep our marriage certificate with his parents… I agreed… Now I want to retrieve it…”

Damon looked at her with mockery. “Why do you need your marriage certificate all of a sudden? Weren‘: u planning to forgive him?”

“That’s only temporary… If he cheats again, I’ll definitely divorce him. I

can’t keep forgiving him forever, right?” Nyla replied.

Damon’s gaze grew colder, his irritation apparent at her poor acting, but he chose not to expose her lie. He decided to reveal her true intentions gradually.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a loud knock on the door.

Clark’s angry voice echoed. “Nyla, open the door! Is Uncle Damon in there?!”

Panic flashed in Nyla’s eyes as she looked at Damon. If Clark saw Damon there, it would definitely cause a scene.

Meeting her pleading gaze, Damon felt his breath hitch, but he looked away icily.

Seeing no reaction from him, Nyla couldn’t help but plead in a low voice, “Uncle Damon, can you hide…”

“I haven’t done anything wrong. Why should I hide?” Damon refused.

The knocking continued, growing more intense, and Clark’s voice became angrier as if he might break down the door at any moment.” Nyla! Open the door! Are you doing something shameful in there?!”

“Please, I’m begging you,” Nyla nearly cried.

Damon’s expression was still cold as he replied, “Just this once.”

He quickly moved to the balcony and jumped over the edge.

Nyla covered her mouth in disbelief. Had Damon really jumped from the

second floor?

Just then, the bedroom door lock was forcefully twisted off.

Clark burst in, furious. Seeing only Nyla in the room, he glared at her

and questioned coldly, “Where’s ‘cle Damon?”

“How would I know? I accidentally fell asleep on the bed,” Nyla

answered.

Clark sneered. “Fell asleep?”

If he believed that, he would be a fool.

“Yes, what else? Why would Uncle Damon be in your bedroom? Are you that eager to be a cuckold?” Nyla shot back.

As soon as she finished speaking, Clark grabbed her wrist and threw her onto the bed, pinning her down with his body.

“Nyla, you better not play games with me!” he snarled.

His cold hand slowly moved from her face downward, like a venomous snake, making her shiver uncontrollably.

She glared at him. “If you don’t believe me, find him yourself. Otherwise, I’m not letting this go!”

Clark stared at her, seeing no sign of guilt in her eyes, and began to doubt himself. Could he have really misunderstood her? But he had clearly seen Damon go upstairs earlier.

At that moment, a maid’s voice came from the door. “Mr. Clark, Mr. Cyrus wants to see you downstairs. There’s something he needs to discuss with you.”

“I’ll be right there,” Clark said.

After the maid left, Clark released Nyla and stood up, his voice cold. “I’ll believe you this time. You better behave yourself.”
