Clark didn’t believe Jordyn’s words, but he chose not to respond. Suddenly, his phone rang.

“Mr. Sumner, more photos and details about your affair with Jordyn have been exposed. The online backlash is intense, and… the Sumner Group just released a statement saying you’ve been dismissed,” Michael informed him.

The statement from the Sumner Group didn’t mention Clark’s resignation. It stated that he had been fired, indicating that Richard was genuinely furious.

Clark clenched his phone and took a deep breath before replying, “I understand. Let me know if there’s anything else.”

“Okay,” Michael replied.

After hanging up, Clark took a moment to collect his thoughts, grabbed his coat, and left.

Jordyn called after him, but he ignored her completely.

He drove to the Sumner residence and, upon arriving, did not go inside. Instead, he knelt at the entrance. Richard and Marie were taking a walk in the garden when they were informed of the situation.

Richard snorted. “If he wants to kneel, let him! It’s a good chance for him to reflect on his foolish actions!” Marie couldn’t bear it. “No matter what, the situation has happened. Forcing him out of the Sumner Group like this is a bit excessive.”

“If we don’t teach him a lesson this time, he’ll just keep making foolish mistakes. We don’t need to worry about him,” Richard said firmly.

Seeing Richard’s determination to punish Clark, Marie sighed and stopped arguing. After all, this incident had not only harmed the Sumner Group but also embarrassed the entire Sumners.

Prominent families in Saintornia were already taking pleasure in the Sumners‘ misfortune.

After dinner, Nyla was about to read some documents when her phone began buzzing incessantly. As soon as she unlocked it, she was met with a flood of messages from Cindy, each one probing her. Cindy: [Do you know Clark has been kneeling at the Summer residence’s entrance for hours? Where are you?]

Cindy: [Is this how a wife behaves? I heard you’re the one behind this mess. How could you be so ruthless?

Cindy: [You’re the one who can’t have children. How dare you expose this?]

Cindy: [Go to the Summer residence and kneel with him, or I won’t let you off the hook!]

Cindy continued to send messages.

Nyla skimmed through a few and then blocked Cindy, instantly restoring peace to her world.

Soon after, Cindy began bombarding Nyla with phone calls, but Nyla persistently hung up and blocked her number.

If Clark ended up left at the Sumners‘ door, it would be none of her concern. No one forced him to kneel there.

Frustrated by being blocked, Cindy threw her phone. “This wretched woman! I should never have let her into the family. She’s a disaster, ruining Clark’s life!”

Nearby, Cyrus frowned and said coldly, “What good does complaining do now? The most important thing is to get Clark reinstated in the Sumner Group. Otherwise, Brandon will replace him soon.”

“No way! I’m going to the estate right now. I’ll kneel with him. I don’t believe Mom and Dad won’t see us!” Cindy declared as she stood up to leave.

“Can’t you stop making things worse?” Cyrus snapped.

Cindy turned to look at him, her eyes filled with anger. “Making things worse? You’re not exactly helping. I don’t see you coming up with any solutions. It’s your failure as a father that’s forcing Clark to depend on your father’s favor!”
