A flash of pity crossed Richard’s eyes. “Do you really think you can marry into the Sumners again?”

Damon was defying him now only because he still had feelings for her.

It wouldn’t be long before he realized the difference between marrying a wife who could help him and one who couldn’t. When that time came, he wouldn’t choose Nyla.

If Nyla were smart, she’d leave him now..

Nyla replied calmly, “I know a lot of people want to marry into the Sumners, but I’m not one of them. When I married Clark, it was because of who he was, not because of the Sumners behind him. Now, I’m with Damon for the same reason–because he’s Damon.”

Richard snorted. “Are you willing to swear that you’re with him with no ulterior motives? That it’s purely because you like him as a person?”

Nyla’s hands tightened at her sides. She was about to respond when Damon interrupted coldly, “Dad, enough. Stop pressuring her!”

Richard glared at him. “Shut up! If you don’t break up with her today, we’ll sever our father–son relationship!

The room fell into heavy silence as his words hung in the air.

At Richard’s fury, Damon remained silent for a moment before slowly straightening up. “Dad, if you can’t accept her, I won’t force it. Whether you choose to disown me or never speak to me again, I won’t leave her.”

“What?!” Richard looked at him in disbelief, his gaze filled with disappointment. “You’d give up your family for this woman?”

“Dad, I’ve said before that who I choose to be with is my decision. No one has the right to interfere.” Damon’s expression was calm, but his tone was resolute.

He had chosen to start his own business rather than take over the Sumner Group because he wanted control over his own life, not to be bound by others. Even his parents had no right to dictate his choices. After all, he wasn’t living his life for anyone else.

Pichard said “fine” three times in a row, his gaze on Damon growing colder with each word. “If you’re su determined, then get out!”

He turned his back on Damon, clearly too disappointed to look at him any longer.

Damon stared at Richard’s back for a moment before taking Nyla’s hand and leaving

Clark’s eyes flickered with anger and resentment.

When he had wanted to marry Nyla, he had had to kneel outside the Summer residence for three days. Yet now, all Richard did to Damon was to give him a single round of punishment. The favoritism was painfully obvious!

Upon seeing Richard’s frail body trembling with emotion, Clark’s gaze darkened.

He stepped forward to help Richard sit down, speaking in a low voice. ‘Grandpa, don’t be too upset. Uncle Damon is just confused right now. I’ll talk to him.”

Richard closed his eyes and waved his hand dismissively. “No need. If he’s so determined to be with that woman, let’s see if they can stay together for a lifetime.”

Clark quickly added, “They won’t. Once enough time passes, Uncle Damon will realize Nyla isn’t worth it.”

Disgust flared in Clark’s eyes as he remembered all the ways Nyla had manipulated him recently. He couldn’t believe he had once thought of her as gentle and understanding.

Richard opened his eyes and snorted. “And you’re one to talk? You divorced and then rushed to marry a woman from a powerless, ordinary family. What right do you have to criticize your uncle?”
