âY You! Cindy was so enraged that she nearly fainted. She shook violently, unable to say a word as she pointed at him.
In the end, she stormed out in fufy
The next day at noon, Nyla arrived at the restaurant, where William was already waiting.
She quickly walked over and sat down across from him, looking apologetic. âSorry, I was delayed at the lab.â
âItâs alright, Ms. Jayston. Please take a look at this document,â William said.
Nyla took the document from William and skimmed through it, her brow furrowing in concern. Since Clarkâs affair, he had deliberately transferred assets, with most now under Jordynâs
name.
âMs. Jayston, the main issue is that Clark and Jordyn are married. He likely consulted a lawyer when transferring the assets. It was done meticulously, so itâs very difficult to reclaim them,â William explained,
âSo, how much can I expect to get?â Nyla asked.
â700,000 dollars,â William replied.
Nyla wasnât particularly surprised by this amountâshe had suspected it from the document.

âAlright, I understand. You can negotiate with his lawyer,â she agreed.
William looked surprised. âMs. Jayston, arenât you going to contest this further?â
Nyla shook her head. âI donât want to waste more time on him, and another lawsuit would drag on for at least a year or more.â
More importantly, now that she was with Damon, remaining entangled with Clark might affect Damon.
William nodded. âOkay, I understand.â
âThank you for your hard work,â Nyla said.
âItâs no trouble,â William replied.
Back at the companyâ¦
As Nyla was about to take her lunch break, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was her fatherâs primary doctor, she quickly answered, âDoctor, whatâs the update?â
âMs. Jayston, Iâve arranged for your father to be transferred to a hospital abroad at any time,â the doctor said.
Nylaâs grip on the phone tightened as she looked down. âOkay, I understand. Thank you!â
After hanging up, Nyla called Wren to share the news.
Wrenâs voice was filled with excitement. âIâll pack up, and we can leave tomorrow morning.â

âWhat about my dadâ¦â Nyla began.
âDonât worry. Iâll persuade him,â Wren assured.
Nyla decided not to press further and was about to hang up when Wren spoke again. âNyla, donât hold it against me. What I said before was for your own good.â
Nyla hadnât taken her words to heart. She could tell whether Wren was genuinely concerned for her or just worried about being implicated.
Still, she wasnât going to confront Wren. Doing so would only complicate things for her father and was unnecessary.
âWren, Iâm not blaming you. I did act impulsively before. After you go abroad, Iâll leave everything to you. With the distance, I wonât be able to get there quickly if anything happens. Thank you for your help,â Nyla said.
âIâm glad you understand,â Wren answered.
After hanging up, Wren immediately called Gabriel to inform him of her plans to go to Meristate the next day.
âGabriel, unless something unexpected happens, Iâll fly to Meristate with Harrison tomorrow. Will you be available to pick us up?â she asked.
There was a brief silence on the other end before Gabriel replied, âMom, Iâll be coming back next week.â
âReturning here for a workârelated matter?â Wren asked, then smiled. âIn that case, weâll wait for you to come back before

going to Meristate together. A few days wouldnât make much of a difference.â
âNo, Iâm coming back for work. I probably wonât return to Meristate,â Gabriel replied.
Wrenâs smile froze. âWhat do you mean? You were doing well in Meristate. Why the sudden decision to come back? And you never mentioned this before when I called.â
