Chapter 211
Was Nyle really just going to let Clark have his way it seemed than the only way to distance herself from him was to get a divorce
Before she could do that, Harrisonâs kidney surgery needed to be complete Otherwise, Clark would continue to use the situation to threaten te freales solely on herself, she would have to wait in line for a kidney, not knowing how long t
might take
Nyla looked up at Clark and said coldly, if you want me to move back, fireâ
Clarkâs face lit up with hope, but her next words made his smile freeze
âI will move back in after my fatherâs kidney transplant is completed,â she said.
A heavy silence fell over the hallway.
Clark clenched his fists. If he hadnât rashly given the kidney to Jordiâs father, he would have agreed immediately. With no new kidney donation available now, he couldnât make that promise.
Seeing his silence, Nyla assumed he intended to use the kidney donation to keep threatening her and grew even colder in her gaze.
âIf youâre not willing, then donât come looking for me. I wonât agree to move back, though you could always just force me. After all, youâve done that before, havenât you?â she said.
âNyla⦠I promise I wonât treat you like this again,â Clark said earnestly.
Nylaâs expression remained scornful. âYouâve made countless promises before, and it seems youâve broken every single one.â
Clarkâs face fell, and he opened his mouth but couldnât find a defense.
After a tense moment, he said quietly, âGive me some time regarding the surgery.â
âSure. Then donât come looking for me during this time. I donât want to see you.â Nyla made herself clear.
Seeing Nylaâs icy demeanor, Clark felt a pang of sorrow but ultimately conceded. â Alright. I understand.â
Only after Clark took the elevator and te
open her door and go inside.
As soon as Clark got downstairs, he called Michael. ââFind a kidney donation that matches my fatherâinâlaw within a month.â
After hanging up, Clark left with a dark expression.
Soon, it was Marieâs birthday.
As soon as Nyla got off work, she saw Clarkâs car parked on the side of the road. She considered pretending not to see him, but he quickly got out of the car and approached her.
âNyla, itâs Grandmaâs birthday today. Come with me to her party,â Clark said.
Nyla didnât have much affection for Marie, but she was an elder, and Nylaâs presence was expected. Not attending might lead to comments about the Jaystonsâ manners.
Have you prepared a birthday gift?â Nyla asked.
Clark nodded. âYes. Grandma likes antiques. I bought an antique vase at an auction recently.â
âLetâs go then,â Nyla agreed and headed toward Clarkâs car.
Noticing he hadnât followed, she turned back, puzzled. âWhy arenât you coming?â
Clark snapped out of his reverie and hurried to her. âOh, I was lost in thought. By the way, you should change into something more formal.â
He had assumed it would take some effort to persuade Nyla to attend the party, but it had gone surprisingly smoothly.
Nyla was dressed casually, and given that the party would be quite grand, formal attire was indeed more appropriate. Thus, she nodded. âAlright.â
In less than half an hour, Clarkâs car stopped in front of the villa.
âIâve had the service staff prepare a formal dress for you. Itâs on your bed. Just change into it,â Clark informed her.
Nyla nodded and got out of the car, heading into the villa. Once inside the bedroom, she picked up the dress from the bed and tried it on, only to find it was very loose and clearly not her size.

She glanced down at the dress, her expression turning cold.
