Chapter 192

Nyla’s eyes widened in surprise. “What kind of surprise?

“If I tell you now, it won’t be a surprise, will it?” Valarle countered.

“Alright then,” Nyla conceded.

After Nyla and Valarie finished shopping and were about to leave, they unexpectedly ran into Jordyn and Cindy, who were also shopping and carrying multiple bags.

“What are you doing out shopping late at night instead of staying home? That dress you’re holding–you couldn’t afford it even if you worked a whole year. My son works hard for his money, and you don’t do anything to help him except spend it all,” Cindy scolded.

Cindy’s gaze at Nyla was almost burning with anger. If Valarie hadn’t been there, Cindy would have been even harsher, especially given Nyla’s affair with Damon,

Valarie hadn’t expected Cindy to be so harsh toward Nyla in public. She sneered and was about to speak. when Nyla interjected, “Mrs. Sumner, it appears that the money you and Ms. Cheatham are spending also comes from Clark. While it’s understandable for you to use his funds, I have the right to reclaim any money spent by Ms. Cheatham.”

Cindy and Jordyn looked offended.

“Nyla, I’m more than willing to spend money on Jordyn. If you had a child, I’d spend money on you too!” Cindy scoffed.

Nyla smiled, showing no concern. “Since Ms. Cheatham likes having children so much, she should have more. Otherwise, the Sumner fortune will have no heir.

“You!” Cindy was furious. She hadn’t expected Nyla to be so bold in public.

“Apologize immediately, or I’ll call Clark to come and teach you the Sumner rules himself,” Cindy threatened.

Nyia raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Is it the Sumner rules for the husband to have an affair and father a child outside of marriage while the mother–in–law openly shops with the mistress and mocks the rightful spouse?”

“I didn’t expect you to be so sharp–tongued. If I had known you were like this, I would never have let Clark marry you!” Cindy hissed.

“Mrs. Sumner, discussing past grievances won’t help. It only shows that you’re powerless against me now,

Nyla said flatly.

Cindy was so enraged that she nearly collapsed. Each of Nyla’s words drove her to fury

to silence her immediately.

Nyla ignored Cindy and pulled Valarie away.

and she wanted

Once they were out of the mall, Valarie couldn’t help but complain, “Is your mother–in–law out of her mind? If you hadn’t stopped me, I would’ve definitely let her have it.”

Nyla’s expression remained calm. “She’s always like that. Just ignore her.”

Chapter 197

“I’m really fed up Doesn’t Clark do anything about it? Valarie asked.

“He’s too busy focusing on acquiring the company shares to care about this kind of thing.” Nyla replied

She no longer had any expectations of him, so she wasn’t upset.

Valarie sighed and said no more. After all, it was Nyla’s marriage. If she didn’t want to leave, she must have her reasons.

By the time Nyla got home, it was already past 10.00 pm.

Clark hadn’t returned yet, so she went straight to her bedroom to shower and get ready for bed

Just after finishing drying her hair, there was a knock at the bedroom door.

She opened the door. “What’s up?”

“I heard about what happened tonight from my mom. It won’t happen again,” Clark promised.

It seemed Cindy had complained to Clark.

Nyla nodded. “Got it. If that’s all, I’m going to bed.”

Upon noticing her coldness, Clark’s eyes dimmed.

After a few seconds of silence, he said quietly, “I’ll be on a business trip tomorrow, so I might not make it back for your birthday. Let me know what you want as a gift, and I’ll get it ready in advance.”

In the past, no matter how busy he was, he would always clear his schedule to be with Nyla on her

birthday.
