âClarko, Iâm shopping for groceries. What would you like for dinner?â
Nyla looked up. Upon seeing who it was, her expression darkened. It was Jordyn.
Seeing Jordynâs smiling face and shy demeanor, Nyla felt a wave of disgust. It seemed like the âClarkoâ Jordyn was talking to was Clark.
Thinking about what those two had done until they ended up in the hospital made Nyla feel sick. She quickly grabbed the fish and turned to leave with her cart.
Jordyn didnât notice Nyla and continued talking on the phone with Clark, who sounded indifferent. âI wonât be
coming over tonight. Eat by yourself.â
Clark hung up before Jordyn could respond.
Putting down his phone, Clark checked his messages and saw that his last message to Nyla from a few days ago was still unread. Irritation flashed in his eyes.
His restless thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, followed by Michael entering the room. âMr. Sumner, we just got a call from Rontana. They said nothing unusual happened, except for two nights. ago. Mrs. Sumner was almost assaulted by someone from Skyray Medical. Your uncle rescued her,â Michael informed Clark.
âWhat?!â Clarkâs face darkened with anger. âWhy am I just hearing about this now?â
âThey saw your uncle carrying Mrs. Sumner out⦠They didnât dare report it until they confirmed the details, âMichael replied.
Clarkâs expression grew even darker, his gaze filled with menace.
Noticing his bossâ chilling aura, Michael trembled slightly and kept his head down:
âUnderstood. You can go.â As Michael reached the door, Clarkâs icy voice stopped him. âMake sure those responsible are dealt with.â
âMr. Sumner, your uncle already handled them, and theyâre all in custody now,â Michael said.
âThen make sure they stay there. Permanently,â Clark instructed.
Seeing the killing intent in Clarkâs eyes, Michael felt a shiver of fear and quickly nodded. âYes, sir.â
After Michael left, Clark called Nyla, but the line was busy. He put down his phone, thought for a moment, then got up and left.
When Nyla got home with her groceries, she found Clark waiting by her door. Her expression immediately turned cold.
âNyla, were you out buying groceries?â he asked.

Nyla ignored Clark, treating him as if he were invisible, and moved to unlock her door, but he blocked her.
âNyla, are you still mad about me not letting you go on that business trip?â he asked.
Nyla looked down, her gaze filled with disgust and impatience. âNo.â
Clark sighed in exasperation. âYouâre clearly upset. You always ignore me when youâre angry.â
He reached for her grocery bags, but she pulled away, stepping back with a mocking expression.
âClark, you think I wouldnât find out about your disgusting affair with Jordyn just because I was away on a business trip?â she questioned.
Clarkâs face paled, a guilty look flashing across his features. âNyla, did someone say something to you?â
Clutching the grocery bags tightly, Nyla realized her words almost revealed that she had someone. watching him.
She quickly recovered and sneered. âSay something to me? I overheard Jordyn calling you at the supermarket earlier, asking about dinner. If you had really cut ties with her, how could she still contact you? Donât take me for a fool!â
