Chapter 223
Inside the folder were all the pieces of evidence showing how Cyrus had conspired with Clement to sabotage Harris Pharmaceuticals. If this folder were given to Nyla, it would likely send Cyrus to prison.
No matter how terrible Cyrus was, he was still Damonâs older brother.
Damon took the file, his expression cold. âI know what I need to do. You can go now.â
his icy
Spencer hesitated. He wanted to persuade Damon further, but see demeanor, he decided to leave without saying more.
Once the office was quiet again, Damon opened the file and examined its contents. After a moment, he placed it in the bottom drawer of his desk.
Giving this evidence to Nyla would certainly lead to her divorce from Clark, but it would also mean Cyrusâ downfall. Despite all the despicable things Cyrus had done, he was still family.
After a moment of thought, Damon called Spencer back into the office and quietly gave him a few instructions.
The next morningâ¦
Nyla had just woken up when she received a call from Valarie.
âNyla, you need to check the trending topics right now!â Valarie exclaimed.
Nyla quickly opened her phone and was shocked to see photos of Clark and Jordyn kissing all over the Internet.
Before she could process what was happening, Clark called her.
âIâm outside your door. Open up,â he said.
His voice was cold, and Nyla frowned, a sense of unease washing over her.
âWhat are you doing at my door? You think Iâm the one who leaked those photos online, donât you?â she asked.
There was a moment of silence on the other end before Clark spoke again. âMy grandparent know about it. They want us to go to their residence together.â
âFine. Give me five minutes,â Nyla said.
She quickly got dressed and ready, stepping out of her apartment within five minutes
To her surprise, Clark was already waiting at her door. He looked exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes, clearly having not slept well.
âLetâs go,â she said curtly.
As they waited for the elevator, Clark asked in a low voice, âAre you sure you had nothing to do with this?â
Nyla shot him a cold look. âIf you think I did it, then show me the evidence. If you donât have any, then shut up.â
Ever since she discovered that Clark had given the kidney intended for Harrison to Jordynâs father, she could barely stand the sight of him. She wished he would disappear and had no interest in pretending otherwise.
Clark took a deep breath, trying to keep his composure. âNyla, I just need to know. When we face my grandparents later, I need you to cooperate with me.â
Nylaâs expression remained icy. âWhy should I cooperate with you? To help you lie to your grandparents about not cheating? Do you really think theyâre that stupid?â
The moment those photos of him and Jordyn were posted online, his infidelity became impossible to hide.
Given Clarkâs high status in the city, a reporter who had taken pictures of him cheating would typically have tried to sell the photos to him first, rather than expose them immediately.
Nyla recalled her conversation with Damon about wanting a divorce and had a gut feeling he might have been involved in leaking the photos. But with Clark standing right next to her, she couldnât confirm her suspicions.
Clark warned, âNyla, donât forget about your fatherâs kidney-â
Nyla cut him off with a bitter laugh. âClark, are you seriously trying to blackmail me with that kidney again? Do you really think Iâm that gullible?â
Clarkâs eyes flashed with guilt as he asked coldly, âWhen did I ever lie to you?â
âHavenât you already given the kidney to Jordynâs father? Now youâre trying to use it to blackmail me into helping you lie? Youâre truly shameless!â Nyla retorted.
