Chapter 347
âClark said he loved me, but that didnât stop him from cheating with Jordyn. You say you love me, but that doesnât stop you from getting back together with Rebecca. I guess, in your minds, your feelings are worth a lot. Just because you like me, Iâm supposed to be grateful and accept whatever you do,â Nyla said.
Damon frowned. âThatâs not what I meanâ¦â
Nyla smiled. âIt doesnât matter what you mean. Since you chose Rebecca over me, thereâs no chance for us. Itâs that simple.â
The calmness in her gaze stirred a sense of panic in Damon. He felt like he was really losing her.
âNylaâ¦â he started.
âWeâve already said everything that needs to be said. Thereâs no point in dragging this out. Letâs end it here,â Nyla concluded.
Their love had always been unequal, never truly balanced. Sheâd rather not have such love at all.
Back home, Nyla had just sat on the couch when her phone rang. It was a call from William.
âMs. Jayston, your assets with Mr. Sumner have been divided. Your share amounts to 786,398 dollars. Also, weâve made some progress on Cyrusâ case. Are you available tomorrow? We can meet and go over the details,â William proposed.
âSure, Iâm free after work tomorrow evening,â Nyla replied.
After setting a time and place, Nyla hung up and went to grab some

clothes for a shower, pondering what to do about Cyrus.
Now that she had broken up with Damon, the Sumners wouldnât hesitate to come after her. Continuing to oppose them wouldnât benefit her.
Despite this, she wasnât ready to give up. It had been so hard to get Cyrus into jail. If she let him get away this time, it would be even harder to catch him in the future.
After thinking it over for a while without reaching a conclusion, she decided to stop worrying and wait until she met with William the next day.
The next evening arrived quickly.
William came with the asset division agreement.
âMs. Jayston, Mr. Sumner has already signed. If everything looks good, please sign here,â he said.
Nyla reviewed the agreement, confirming there were no issues, and then signed her name.
With that signature, she and Clark were finished. They had no more ties to each other.
Nyla handed the agreement back to William and inquired about Cyrusâ case.
Williamâs expression grew serious. Ms. Jayston, the Sumners are already intervening. Thereâs a strong possibility that Cyrus wonât be sentenced. You should be prepared for that.â
Nyla lowered her gaze, remaining silent. She was aware of the

Sumnersâ considerable influence in Saintornia. She had only
managed to secure Cyrusâs police custody because she had caught them off guard.
âI understand. Weâll do our best and leave the rest to fate,â she replied.
William nodded. âYes, Iâll do everything I can with this case, but the outcome might-â
Nyla cut him off, âI understand. Even if things donât turn out well, I wonât blame you.â
They discussed the case a bit more before William left to return to his firm.
Back home, Nylaâs ordered books had arrivedâtwo thick stacks, all study materials for her graduate exam.
She carried the books inside, organized them, and noted that it was still early. Deciding to study for an hour that night, she made the most of every minute, knowing there were less than two months until the exam registration. She hoped to pass on her first attempt.
In the following days, Nyla devoted every spare moment to studying.
Soon, it was Saturday.
Early in the morning, she received a call from Melody, who said she was already downstairs.
