Chapter 239
âYeah. We did tests before. Her body has a hard time conceiving, so I plan to have Jordyn carry the baby and then let Nyla raise it as her own,â Clark informed.
Marie was infuriated. âWhy are you only mentioning this now?!â
Had she known earlier that Nyla couldnât have children, she would never have allowed Clark to marry her, no matter how long he had knelt.
Clark lowered his head, his voice lacking confidence. âI thought with some time and treatment, weâd eventually succeedâ¦â
Marie forced herself to stay calm and said coldly, âCall Nyla back immediately. You must divorce her!â Given Nylaâs previous disrespect toward her, Marie was already dissatisfied. Now that she knew Nyla couldnât bear children, she would never allow her to remain married to Clark.
Clark looked up at Marie. âGrandma, I wonât divorce her. Even if she canât have children, I donât care.â âYouâre truly insane. If you donât divorce her, youâre no longer my grandson!â With that, Marie stormed off. Richard looked at Clark with a cold gaze. âI agree with your grandmother. Besides, Nyla plans to divorce you. Do you really want to spend your life with a woman who canât bear children?â
They had been married for only three years, and Clark had already cheated. What would happen in the future?
Unlike before, Clark was unusually stubborn this time as he said, âGrandpa, no matter what you say, I wonât divorce her.â
âIf you donât, I wonât let you return to the Sumner Group!â Richard snapped.
Clark smiled bitterly and said, âI have already been kicked out of the Sumner Group and am too ashamed to go back. After this, Iâve realized that relying on others isnât dependable. Iâm planning to start my own business.â
Richard turned icy. âDo you think youâre as talented as Damon and can succeed in business just like that?â
Over the years, Clark had endured Richardâs belittlement, but at this moment, he could no longer hold back.
He had tolerated so much over the years, and now, because of a single scandal, Richard had easily abandoned him. If Damon had been the one to cheat, Richard would not have expelled him so swiftly.
In the end, it was nothing more than favoritism.
âGrandpa, I may not be as clever as Uncle Damon, but at least I will work hard on my own. And I wonât covet someone elseâs wife!â
Richardâs eyes widened in shock. âWhat did you say? Coveting someone elseâs wife?â
Clark stood up straight, gazing at Richard with a mocking expression. âAsk him about it yourself. I also want to see if he has the nerve to confess to you!â
With that, Clark turned and left without looking back.

Richardâs angry shouts followed him, but he ignored them.

Outside the Sumner residence, Clark gazed up at the clear blue sky, his eyes burning with resentment and anger. He was determined to carve out his own path and never be threatened by anyone again.
Damon was in a meeting at Prospectus Technology when his phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Seeing Richardâs name on the screen, he looked surprised and said, âLetâs take a tenâminute break.â He picked up the phone and walked to the window. As soon as he answered, Richardâs furious voice came through. âDamon, Clark just accused you of coveting someone elseâs wife. Whatâs going on?â
