When Nyla saw the soâcalled âevidenceâ on Clarkâs phone, her eyes filled with sarcasm. âSo, based on this chat screenshot, youâve decided it was me?â
âThatâs not all,â Clark replied, his tone cold. âThereâs also a recording.â
He played the recording right in front of Nyla.
As she listened, she finally understoodâit was all a setup, specifically designed to frame her. She couldnât figure out what the person behind this stood to gain.
âThis voice does sound a lot like mine,â Nyla said calmly. âHowever, if you take it to a forensic lab, youâll see itâs been fabricated.â
Clarkâs gaze was full of disappointment as he looked at her. âI gave you the evidence you asked for, but youâre still denying it? Nyla, when did you become so malicious?â
âIs it that Iâm malicious, or that you want to believe I am? You didnât even bother to have this recording or the chat logs authenticated, yet youâve decided it was me. If I really wanted to leak Jordynâs pregnancy, would I leave such obvious evidence for you to find?â Nyla retorted.
Anyone with a bit of common sense could see she was being framed, but Clark was determined to believe she was the culprit.
He was silent for a few moments. When Michael first sent him the evidence, he had his doubts too. The problem was that someone had to take the fall for this.
âNyla, Iâve already promised you that Jordyn wonât threaten your position. Because of this, my grandfather has lost all faith in me. If I donât handle this properly, I will lose my inheritance and my right to the Sumner Group,â Clark said.
âSo?â Nyla asked coldly, waiting to hear just how shameless he could be.
âIf you tell my grandparents that you canât have children and wanted a child, and thatâs why I turned to Jordynâ¦â Clark elaborated.
Nyla slapped him hard across the face, trembling with rage. âClark, youâre utterly despicable!â
She was shaking with fury, unable to believe he would make such an outrageous suggestion.
A handprint bloomed on Clarkâs face, and his gaze turned icy. âDid I say something wrong? If it werenât for your infertility, would I have strayed?â
As his words hung in the air, the hallway fell into a heavy silence. Hurt flashed across Nylaâs eyes, and Clark felt a pang of guilt.
âNyla, I didnât mean-â he began.
âEnough!â she interrupted, her voice cold and indifferent. âI donât want to hear any more.â
Clark looked down, his tone subdued. âWeâre both a bit emotional right now. Iâll come back to discuss this When youâve calmed down.â
Nyla didnât respond or look at him. She just stared at the floor, her face expressionless.

With a sigh, Clark turned and left.
Back home, Nyla called Damon. âUncle Damon, was it you who leaked the news about Jordynâs pregnancy?â
There was a brief pause on the other end before Damonâs deep voice responded. âNo. Why do you ask?â
âNo reason, just curious. Youâre probably busy, so I wonât keep you.â She quickly ended the call, realizing that if Damon had been responsible, he wouldnât have bothered to create fake evidence. In her haste, she had overlooked this detail.
The only people who knew about Jordynâs pregnancy and would go to such lengths to frame her were Jordyn and Cindy.
Cindy was aware of Clarkâs precarious position in the Sumner Group and wouldnât have leaked the news herself.
That left only one suspect.
