Chapter 376
Disbelief flashed across Rebeccaâs eves.
âWhy? Donât you like her?â she asked.
âYou just need to remember sheâs not someone you can mess with Iâm returning to the country soon, so youâd better not make any
moves. Otherwise, you wonât be able to handle the consequences!â Drake warned.
Rebecca froze for a moment, but before she could react, the video call ended.
After tossing his phone onto the table, Drakeâs expression turned into one of extreme excitement.
Finally, he had found her!
Meanwhile, Rebecca stared at her now blank phone screen, her gaze cold.
What did Drake mean by saying Nyla was offâlimits? And his reaction -it didnât seem like he was romantically interested in her.
After all, if Drake were interested in a woman, he would first have private photos of her taken, then use those to coerce her into sleeping with him.
The more Rebecca thought about it, the stranger Drakeâs attitude seemed. There had to be something more going on!
No matter how hard she tried, she couldnât pinpoint exactly what was off.
After thinking it over for a while, she decided to let it go for new Sheâd figure out what Brake was unde once he returned to the
That evening, just as Nyla was getting off works, two men in black suits stopped her in the undergrout parking lot.
Ms Jayston, Mr. Richard would like to see you,â one of them said
Nylaâs expression was cold. âI have bothing to say to him.â
The men remained unperturbed. âMr Richard said if you donât agree to meet him, heâll have no choice but to pay a visit to your fatherâ
Nyla frowned, her voice toy. âWhere?â
âWeâll take you there,â they replied.
âI have my own car,â Nyla said
After a moment of tense silence, one of the men called Richard.
After a brief exchange, he turned back to her. âHeâs waiting for you at Paradine.â
It was over an hour later when Nyla finally arrived at Paradine.
A server led her to the private room where Richard was growing impatient.
The moment she sat down, he spoke harshly. âI hear youâve submitted new evidence with your lawyer?â
âYour information network is impressive.â Nyla smiled, meeting.
Bichaidâs gaze without a trace of for
Richardâs eyes were cold. His face, which bore a resemblance to Bamenâs, was deeply lined, yet he will radiated authority. âYou wonât win this case, Name your terms.â
âI just want a fair trial,â Hyla replied,
There was a cold glint in Richardâs eyes. âFair? You need to decide whatâs more important falmess or your family. Think about itâ
Hyla snickered, âIs that a tusat?â
âTake it however you want. You dont really think Damon is still going to protect you, do you?â Richard farted,
Richardâs gaze grew even more disdainful as he recalled how Nyla had seduced Damon and Clark. He should never have softened and allowed Clark to marry her in the first placel
âHeâs certainly not protecting me. But Iâm not dropping the lawsuit,â Nyla said firmly
âIt doesnât matter whether you do of not. Do you really think a kidnapping charge will put my son to prison?â Richard asked,
âDonât forget about the fraud involving Harris Pharmaceuticals,â Nyla reminded him.
Richard gestured to the bodyguard standing next to him. The man picked up a file from the table and Ganded it to Nyle.
âHarrison has already agreed to drop the charges. He even took 2,000,000 dollars from me. If you donât drop the case, I can turn around and sue him for extortion. You wouldnât want your father to go to prison at his aus, would you?â ichard informed her.

Nyla took the file, her eyes filling with disbelief and anger as she flipped through the pages. Her hands trembled, crumpling the paper.
The lawsuit had been her initiative. Harrison had no authority to drop it. Now that he had taken so much money from the Sumners, their legal team could easily frame it as extortion.
She tossed the file onto the table, her heart growing cold with disappointment.
