“Drink the soup first. I’ll think about what you said,” Nyla replied.

“Nyla, my dad said that as long as you don’t hand the evidence over to the police, you can ask for whatever compensation you want,” Clark said.

Nyla placed the bowl on the table, her expression unreadable as she looked at Clark. “I said I would consider it. Focus on your recovery. I’ll visit you again tomorrow.”

After Nyla left, Clark called Cyrus, frustration evident in his voice. “She still hasn’t agreed.”

Cyrus sneered, “I told you the self–pity trick wouldn’t work, but you wouldn’t listen. Are you finally giving up?”

Earlier, Cyrus had planned to kill Nyla outright, but Clark suggested staging a self–pity act, pretending that he had been disabled while saving her. This was supposed to soften her heart and persuade her to destroy the evidence. But it had all been for nothing.

“I didn’t expect her to be so heartless. Even with my legs ruined, she won’t relent. She wants a divorce and won’t destroy the evidence,” Clark complained.

He was filled with anger and couldn’t understand why Nyla’s reaction was so different from what he had anticipated.

“It’s because you were too indecisive. I’ve already got someone watching her. If she really intends to turn the evidence over to the police, I’ll make sure she disappears completely,” Cyrus stated.

Clark took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a hint of ruthlessness.

If the evidence was handed over to the police, not only would Cyrus face jail time, but he would also be Implicated. Since Nyla was so merciless, showing no sentiment, he had to think about himself.

“Alright,” Clark said.

After leaving the hospital, Nyla made a call as soon as she got into the car.

“Mr. Monaghan, how’s the investigation going?” she asked.

A raspy voice replied on the other end, “Ms. Jayston, the driver was terminally ill and had only three months left to live. Yesterday, his mother took his children and left Saintornia. Now, only his wife remains in the city. I also found out that their lease expires next month, but she hasn’t renewed it, as if she plans to leave once his case is settled.”

Contemplation flashed in Nyla’s eyes as she said, “The fact that his family left and didn’t renew the lease is not surprising. With no income, it’s normal for them to return to their hometown. What’s crucial is to find out if there has been any significant influx of money recently.”

*That will take some time. If someone is backing him, they’re likely paying in cash rather than through transfers,” Pete replied.

“Alright. I suspect this incident might be connected to Clark and Cyrus. It would be best to check for any unusual expenses on their part as well,” Nyla reminded him.

Given that she had just threatened Clark with evidence to force a divorce and then the accident

happened so conveniently with Clark arriving right on time, it seemed too coincidental.

Moreover, after Clark became paralyzed, instead of using his condition to coerce her into staying, he surprisingly agreed to the divorce. He wasn’t the type to selflessly sacrifice like that.

That was why, when Clark agreed to the divorce so readily, Nyla decided to go along with his suggestion. If this was connected to Clark, he would likely reveal his true intentions soon.

*Understood. I’ll notify you as soon as I have any updates,” Pete answered.

After hanging up. Nyla tightened her grip on the phone slightly.

Besides the accident, there was also the matter of the evidence. She had asked Pete, who confirmed it wasn’t him who sent it to Valarie.

Who else could be helping her from behind? Could it be Damon?
