âMr. Sumner, if you no longer love Nyla, please let her go, considering the eight years of your relationship.
âDonât continue clinging to a mistress while refusing to divorce her, draining whatever little love is left between you.â
With that, Valarie turned and left without caring how unpleasant Clarkâs expression became.
Clarkâs fingers holding the phone turned faintly white, his gaze heavy and cold. His phone kept ringing. and he walked to the stairwell to answer.
âWhat is it?â
Jordynâs voice sounded grave from the phone. âClark, I have something important to tell you.â
âIâm busy right now.â Just as Clark was about to hang up, something said on the other end froze him in place. After several seconds, he spoke in a low voice. âIâll come see you shortly.â
Back in the hospital room, Valarie saw that Nyla had woken up and quickly approached her bedside.â Nyla, Iâve already asked for soup to be prepared for you. It should arrive soon. Just rest a little longer.â
âOkay.â
Not long after, Clark pushed open the door and entered the room.
Seeing his grim expression, Valarie sneered. âMr. Sumner, finished chatting with your mistress?â
Clark frowned at her, clearly displeased. If Valarie hadnât been Nylaâs friend, he would have dealt with the Weirs long ago for speaking to him like that.
âNyla, thereâs a contract issue at the company. I need to go back to handle it. Iâll come back after itâs resolved,â Clark told Nyla.
Nyla lay with closed eyes, not responding, clearly uninterested in engaging with him.
Beside her, Valarie mocked, âIs it really a company issue, or is it something with Jordyn? Mr. Sumner, you should know in your heart.â
Clark looked coldly at her. âValarie, because youâre Nylaâs friend, Iâve been tolerant of you. If you donât want the Weirs to suffer bankruptcy, stop challenging my limits again and again.â
Maybe Valarie had been working behind the scenes to incite Nylaâs resistance to him. Upon thinking that, Clarkâs anger flared, his gaze darkening even more.
Hearing him threaten Valarie, Nyla frowned and opened her eyes to look at him. âIf youâre leaving, just go. Donât bother coming tonight. Valarie is here.â
Her detachment pierced Clark. âNyla, it really is a company matter thatâs forcing me to leave.â
His explanation didnât seem to matter to Nyla anymore
âItâs fine. Just go,â she said.
Seeing Nyla close her eyes again, Clark pursed his lips and turned to leave.

As the hospital room door opened and then closed, the room fell silent.
Valarie held Nylaâs hand, gritting her teeth. âNyla, ignore him. Once youâre better, Iâll arrange for male escorts at the club for youâone each day. Since this scumbag wonât divorce, letâs give him a heap of cuckoldry!â
Nyla couldnât help but smile, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. âNo need. Heâs not worth me ruining myself.â
âHow is this ruining yourself? Itâs called enjoying life! When I move out from home in a while, Iâll get myself a male escort.â
Nyla was rendered speechless.
After leaving the hospital, Clark drove straight to find Jordyn. As he opened the door, he asked coldly,â Whatâs the report?â
Jordyn stepped aside to let him in, handing him a medical report from the table.
âClark, I didnât mean to look⦠When you and Ms. Jayston were having your checkup, I hadnât left the Sumner Group yet, so I used my number. Thatâs why when the report came out, the clinic called me to pick it upâ¦â
When Jordyn was Clarkâs secretary, she managed his daily life, including tasks like picking up reports. Clark ignored her explanation and opened the medical report.
When Clark saw that Nyla had been diagnosed with infertility, he suddenly tightened his grip on the report, his fingertips turning faintly white. He hadnât expected that after three years of trying, it was Nyla who couldnât conceive!
and Ms.
Noticing his unpleasant expression, Jordyn spoke cautiously, âClark, previously, when you Jayston werenât planning for children, you only did routine checkups. If it werenât for this preconception check, maybe you-
âThatâs enough!â Clark coldly interrupted her, his gaze intense as if he could devour her.
Jordyn couldnât help but tremble, not daring to speak again.
âHas anyone else seen this medical report besides you?â Clark asked.
Jordyn shook her head, cautiously replying, âNo⦠Clark are you planning to keep this matter a secret?â
âItâs none of your concern. Pretend you know nothing about it. If a single word leaks out, Iâll make sure you suffer, he warned.
Hurt flickered in Jordynâs eyes. âDonât you trust me? And⦠even now that you know Ms. Jayston canât bear children, you donât plan to divorce her?â
