Damon narrowed his eyes. It seemed Clark really didnât want to return to the Sumner Group.
âIâm in a meeting right now. Iâll explain everything to you tonight,â Damon said.
Since Nyla and Clark werenât divorced yet, Damon didnât want the Sumners to know about his feelings for Nyla. Although he had fallen for her first, the Sumners would likely think she was the one who had seduced him.
Richard didnât respond and just hung up.
Damon called Spencer over and instructed quietly, âFind out where Clark is and bring him to see me after the meeting.â
The meeting dragged on for over two hours before it finally ended.
When Damon announced it was over, the department managers visibly relaxed.
Back in Damonâs office, his gaze turned cold when he saw Clark sitting on the couch.
The atmosphere was tense and oppressive.
Damon sat down across from Clark and said coldly, âNo matter what you tell your grandfather, I wonât give up on Nyla.â
Clark smiled. âUncle Damon, whether you give up or not doesnât matter to me. Iâm not divorcing her, so youâll never be with her.â
Damonâs gaze hardened. âWhether you divorce or not isnât up to you.â
Clarkâs eyes flashed with sarcasm. âIf itâs not up to me, then itâs not up to you either. Now that Iâm out of the Sumner Group, you canât use it to threaten me. What can you do to make me divorce her?â
Clark had no intention of divorcing Nyla and planned to flaunt his relationship with her in front of Damon, making the latter suffer.
âYou acting this way only makes me think she must have been blind before,â Damon said.
Clark sneered. âUncle Damon, provoking me wonât help, As long as Iâm alive, I wonât let you be with her!â With that, Clark got up and left.
Once the office door slammed shut, Damon sat down at his desk, opened the bottom drawer, and retrieved the file he had stashed away earlier. After a momentâs thought, he made a phone call.
In the evening, Valarie arrived at the restaurant.
As she sat down across from Damon, she was still somewhat surprised that he had asked to meet her. âDamon⦠I mean, Mr. Sumner, what do you need to see me about?â she asked.
Damon pushed a file across the table to her and said in a serious tone, âPlease give this file to Nyla. Sheâll

know what to do with it.â
Valarieâs eyes widened in surprise, and she frowned. âMr. Sumner, if I remember correctly, Nyla is now working at Prospectus Technology. Wouldnât it be easier for you to give it to her directly?â
Damon nodded. âYes, but I have reasons for not being able to hand it to her myself. I hope you can keep this confidential.â
âCan I ask why?â Valarie was curious about why Damon needed her to deliver the file.
âMs. Weir, I canât disclose the specific reasons. However, if she chooses to tell you, youâll understand when you hand over the file. If you agree to help, Iâll owe you a favor,â Damon said.
Valarie took the file and smiled. âForget about the favor. I heard that when I was in a coma after falling from the hotel, it was you who called for the ambulance and sent me to the hospital. You also helped find out that it was Jacqueline behind it. Consider this a way to repay you for that.â
âThank you, Ms. Weir,â Damon replied.
âHowever, this file must be important. If Nyla asks where I got it, what should I say?â Valarie asked.
