“Didn’t I tell you to think about it? Don’t even think about leaving until you do,” Damon replied.

Clark’s anger flared again as he clenched his fists on the desk. “I don’t get it! I haven’t done anything lately!

Damon sneered “Are you sure about that?”

Under Damon’s cold gaze, Clark froze, a flicker of quilt surfacing in his heart.

“Looks like you’ve figured it out now?” Damon asked.

Clark’s fists tightened further.

After a long moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, I’m behind the trending topic this morning. But what’s the problem? Didn’t you just get back together with Rebecca? And isn’t Nyla getting involved?”

Clark was nearly overwhelmed by jealousy and frustration, thinking about how Nyla had gotten involved with Damon right after their divorce.

“Do you have the right to interfere in our matters?” Damon demanded,

Clark’s face darkened, his chest heaving and his breathing growing heavy.

At that moment, he clearly didn’t have the right. Yet, he couldn’t stand the thought of Nyla and Damon being together!

Nyla could be with anyone, but not Damon!

“Uncle Damon, instead of blaming me, why don’t you reflect on why you’re still entangled with Nyla after getting back together with Rebecca? If you hadn’t given her The Lone Tear in front of everyone last night, I wouldn’t have had the chance to stir things up, would I?

“The one who truly hurt Nyla is you. I’m just using the knife you handed me,” Clark said.

Damon looked at him expressionlessly, his knuckles white from gripping the documents tightly, clearly struggling to control his emotions.

“It seems the last lesson I gave you was too mild. This time, I’ll make sure you understand the consequences of opposing me,” he warned.

Clark sneered. “If you dare touch me, I won’t spare Nyla.”

“Are you

you threatening me?” Damon asked.

“I didn’t want to do this, but you’ve pushed me into a corner,” Clark said.

With nothing left to lose, he was prepared to destroy everything if Damon dared to attack the companies Cyrus had left him. He had no regard for a scorched earth policy.

“Get out!” Damon barked.

Clark, sneering, seemed confident that Damon wouldn’t dare to act against him. He turned and walked

away.

Two days later, Nyla was discharged from the hospital after her swelling had subsided.

During her stay, the police had come to take her statement. Knowing that the attacker had a criminal record and would likely face a harsh sentence, she felt no sympathy.

Back at home, Nyla sent her resignation letter to the HR department at Park Pharmaceuticals and then began tidying up her place.

By late afternoon, she received a reply from HR asking her to come in the next day to complete her resignation process.

Nyla sighed with relief. Although she had enjoyed her job, she was eager to avoid seeing Damon.

Not dwelling on it for too long, she had dinner and then studied until 11:30 p.m., reluctantly putting down her books before heading to bed.

Before sleeping, she checked her phone and saw that the trending topics about her and Damon had been completely removed–even the hashtags were gone.

She finally felt a sense of relief. After all, she couldn’t bear the label of a “homewrecker“.

The next morning. Nyla completed her resignation formalities at Park Pharmaceuticals and texted Melody to inform her of the resignation and that a replacement would be in touch soon.

Melody immediately called her. “Nyla, what’s going on? Why did you suddenly resign? Is it because of the trending topic from yesterday morning?”
