Chapter 218

When Clark saw Cyrus, his scowl deepened

“Got it. I’ll go over right away,” he said in a deep voice.

After Clark left, Cyrus looked at Nyla with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “How did you manage to escape?”

“Dad, what are you talking about? I don’t understand,” Nyla replied, her face displaying apparent confusion as if she genuinely didn’t know.

Cyrus sneered, his eyes growing colder. “You’d better truly not understand.”

Only after Cyrus turned and walked away did Nyla finally release her tightly clenched hands. Her palms ached, but her expression remained unchanged.

As the evening approached its end, Damon finally made an appearance. He had changed into a different outfit, his hair slightly damp, and his complexion pale. His chiseled features were as cold as a glacier, radiating an icy aura.

Noticing his mood, those who had intended to approach him quickly backed off. No one wanted to be on the receiving end of his displeasure.

Marie noticed him and looked slightly displeased. “Damon, where have you been? I had people looking for you everywhere.

“I was a bit tired earlier and found a quiet place to rest for a while,” Damon replied calmly.

“The party’s almost over. Don’t wander off again. By the way, this is Ms. Chilton Lara. You’ve met her before.”

Damon glanced at the woman Marie was referring to. She met his gaze with a shy, hesitant expression before quickly lowering her eyes, her cheeks tinged with a blush.

He withdrew his gaze and replied indifferently. “No impression.

The woman’s smile faltered, and she nervously twisted her hands

“Get to know her better, and you’ll have an impression. See Ms. Chilton home this evening.” Marie instructed.

“I don’t have the time.” Damon refused without a second thought, his expression showing no emotion.

Chapter ore she could speak, Lara stood up and said, “Mrs. Sumner, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. I’ll excuse myself now.”

Without waiting for Marie’s response, Lara turned and left.

“Look what you’ve done. Now‘ you’ve offended Ms. Chilton. Are you happy?

tone was sharp.

Ignoring the accusation, Damon remained unperturbed.

“If you don’t want to offend every prominent family in the city, stop introducing me to Ms. Hulle, Ms. Chilton, and the others,” Damon replied calmly.

“You!” Marie glared at him. “Are you trying to drive me mad?”

“As long as you stop setting me up on these blind dates, you won’t have to be upset,” Damon retorted.

Marie was choked with frustration. “With so many women your age here tonight, didn’t any of them catch your eye?”

“No,” Damon answered flatly.

“Fine, just stay away from me. I’m tired of seeing you!” Marie snapped, waving him off.

Without another word, Damon turned and walked out.

As he left, Cindy tried to soothe Marie, but her gaze followed Damon’s retreating figure with a hint of mockery.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t interested in anyone. It was just that the person he was interested in was impossible to have. Even if Nyla wasn’t married to Clark, Richard and Marie would never approve of her.

Outside the main hall, Damon called over the butler and said coldly, “Get me a copy of tonight’s surveillance footage.”

The butler looked confused but didn’t dare ask questions upon seeing Damon’s icy demeanor. He immediately went to make the copy.

“Mr. Damon, some of the cameras in the house malfunctioned tonight, so there are al few areas without footage,” the butler informed him hesitantly.

Malfunctioning? What a coincidence.

Understood. You can go back to your work, he dismissed the butler c
