Chapter 283
Wren sighed. âDonât even mention it. She divorced Clark, and on top of that-â
Before she could finish, Gabriel interrupted, âShe got divorced?â
Wren, oblivious to his agitation, continued with a frown. âYes, itâs complicated. Iâll explain everything once I get to Meristate.â
âAlright⦠Gabriel replied.
After a few more words, Wren ended the call. Thinking about. reuniting with her son in Meristate, she couldnât help but smile.
Once she and Harrison were in Meristate, whatever Nyla did here wouldnât affect them. All she needed to do was focus on taking good care of Harrison and Gabriel.
As for Nyla, Wren had never considered her part of the family. The courtesy Wren had shown in the past was merely out of respect for Harrison. Now that Nyla no longer respected her, Wren felt no need to curry favor with her.
At the Sumner residenceâ¦
Damonâs decision to move Nyla into his villa had left Richard fuming.
âOutrageous! Does he really want to drag the Sumner name through the mud?!â Richard bellowed.
The lawyer, Parker Frampton, sat nearby in silence, his gaze
lowered.

He had met with Cyrus at the police station earlier and knew that the police had gathered substantial evidence, making it impossible to bail him out anytime soon.
Richard had ordered his people to find Nyla and planned to confront her tonight. However, discovering she had moved into Damonâs villa meant he couldnât meet her without Damon knowing, which only added to his frustration.
Cindy, her eyes red from crying, looked at Richard. âDad, when has Cyrus ever been through this kind of suffering? We need to find a way to get him out. The longer he stays in there, the worse it is for the Sumners.â
Richard shot her a cold look. âI donât need you to remind me.â
His face darkened with frustration. The situation wasnât just affecting the Sumnersâit was threatening the Sumner Groupâs business relationships as well.
Although the Sumners had managed to contain the scandal, there was no guarantee it wouldnât spread further. If their business partners found out, they might sever ties with the Sumner Group, leading to significant losses.
âFind a way to get Nyla to meet with us,â Richard ordered.
Parker sighed. âMr. Summer, my assistant tried to approach. her but was warned off by Mr. Damonâs people. We havenât been able to see her, and thereâs nothing more we can do.â
The living room fell into a heavy silence, the atmosphere thick with tension.

Richardâs expression grew even darker. Damon was clearly determined to oppose the family over a woman. His son had turned out to be a huge disappointment.
Cindyâs eyes flashed with hatred as she gritted her teeth. âThat little wretch thinks she can get away with anything just because sheâs with Damon?! If anything happens to Cyrus, I swear Iâll make her pay, even if it costs me my life!â
âRather than wasting time on empty threats, we should focus on how to meet with her,â Richard retorted.
âMeeting her is all? Iâll go myself. I donât believe I canât find a chance to see her if I camp outside Prospectus Technology!â Cindy declared.
Richard, having just clashed with Damon, was eager to avoid further escalating their conflict. Cindy stepping in as the âbad guyâ was actually ideal. After all, it was her duty to do something for her husband.
âThen do as you said. Find a way to get her to sign the forgiveness letter when you meet her,â Richard said.
