“Let’s go,” Clark said, retracting his gaze.

As they turned away, Jordyn let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief.

While Jordyn was getting her check–up, Clark repeatedly tried to call Nyla, but she didn’t answer. Growing impatient, he eventually gave up.

After paying her bills and receiving her injection, Nyla got a call from the police station asking her to come in and give a statement.

Meanwhile, Erin had learned about Dylan’s failed plan.

Her subordinate looked worried, his voice tense. “Ms. Hulle, do you

think Dylan will betray us?”

Erin sneered. “Don’t worry. He wouldn’t dare. Unless he wants his family destroyed.”

Dylan was proving to be useless. Despite having everything planned for him, he had still failed miserably. She needed to find another way to deal with Nyla.

By the time Nyla finished giving her statement at the police station, it

was evening.

She drove straight home. Just as she got out of the car, Clark’s car pulled up at the gate.

Nyla hesitated before continuing to walk inside, but Clark got out of the car angrily.

“Why didn’t you answer my calls this afternoon?!” he demanded.

Upon seeing the swelling on her face, his eyes widened in shock. He quickly approached her, asking, “Who did this to your face?!”

He then noticed the bandage on her hand, and his expression darkened

even more.

“It’s nothing, just a minor issue,” Nyla replied, not wanting to explain further, and kept walking.

Clark grabbed her wrist, his voice cold. “Tell me yourself, or I’ll investigate. If I have to investigate, I’ll involve Uncle Damon.”

Hearing the threat in his voice, Nyla shook off his hand and asked, ” Clark, do you think this is funny?“.

“Of course it’s funny. At least it shows you’re not as indifferent to Uncle Damon as you claim,” Clark replied.

His penetrating gaze bore into her, searching for any sign of guilt but finding none.

“I just don’t want to drag innocent people into our mess,” Nyla said.

“Innocent?” Clark found it ridiculous. “Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed his feelings for you!”

Nyla pressed her lips together, looking at him with indifference.

“You keep harping on about me and your uncle, but what about you? How innocent are you? Weren’t you just with Jordyn for a prenatal check -up today?” she questioned.

Clark froze and then blurted out, “So it really was you in the hospital lobby!”

As he spoke, he finally noticed that her clothes were the same as those of the person he had seen at the hospital.

“It was me. So what right do you have to question me?” Nyla asked.

A wave of guilt washed over Clark, but Nyla’s indifference quickly turned it into anger.

“If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t have ignored me at the hospital,” Clark defended himself.

Nyla found it almost laughable that he was playing the victim.

“And you? Do you care about me? You saw I was hurt, yet your first reaction wasn’t to find out what happened but to threaten me with your

uncle.

“Clark, other than throwing tantrums, what else can you do?” she retorted, her eyes cold and disappointed as she looked up at him.

Clark felt a stab in his heart, his hands clenched by his sides.

“Nyla, you wouldn’t tell me the truth, so I had no choice but to push you,” he tried to explain.

Nyla laughed coldly. “Stop making excuses. It just makes you look pathetic.”

She turned and walked away.

Clark didn’t stop her, his expression darkening as he watched her go.

After she disappeared from sight, he took out his phone and called Michael. “Find out what happened to Nyla at Prospectus Technology today!”

“Yes, Mr. Sumner. By the way, I have news about the matter you asked me to investigate this morning. After the Magills‘ company went bankrupt, Josh Magill couldn’t bear the massive debt and committed

suicide.
