Nyla looked at Clark calmly as she asked, âIs that so?â

Clark was momentarily stunned, hot expecting her response. He quickly replied, âOf course! We were so in love before. Have you forgotten?â
âOf course I havenât forgotten,â Nyla said, raising an eyebrow. âAnd I have something to tell you too.â
âWhat is it?â Clark asked.
Nyla beckoned. âCome a little closer.â
Confused, Clark stepped toward her.
Just as he was a few steps away, she suddenly slapped him.
The sharp sound echoed in the living room, leaving a clear handprint on Clarkâs face. His expression twisted in anger.
âNyla!â His voice was filled with fury, and his gaze turned dark and cold.
Nyla smiled, shaking her aching hand. âYour skin is really thick. My hand hurts now. This slap is for what I didnât get the chance to do five years ago. Consider it payback.â
Clark gritted his teeth, forcing himself to suppress his anger. âNyla, youâve slapped me and vented your anger. Does that mean I can pursue you again now?â
Nyla glanced at him with a halfâsmile. âSorry, Iâm not interested in rotten eggs. Why donât you go Jordyn? You two are a perfect match.â
Clark frowned, about to respond, when his phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing it was Damon, his expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.
âYou have one minute to get out of my house,â Damon stated.
Before Clark could reply, the call abruptly ended.
Holding his phone, he felt his face darken even further. Since he hadnât taken over the company yet, he didnât dare openly oppose Damon.
He put his phone away and looked up at Nyla. âNyla, weâll see each other
After Clark left, Lydia rushed over to Nylaâs side. âMs. Kinsey, are you okay? I noticed something was wrong and quickly called Mr. Sumner.â
Nyla shook her head. âIâm fine. Thank you, Lydia. You can go back to your work. Iâd like to be alone for a while.â
âAlright, just call me if you need anything,â Lydia reminded her before returning to the kitchen.
Nyla walked over to the sofa and sat down, contemplating her next move.
She didnât want any further entanglement with the Sumners, and she knew her plans needed to be put into action quickly.

Thinking about this, she pulled out her phone and called Oliver. âI need your help with something.â
Over the next few days, Nyla and Mason stayed home,
Damon was supposed to be on a business trip for a week, but he returned three days early.
After grabbing a file from the villa, he rushed back to the office without even having time to eat with
Mason.

Back at the company, Damon immediately called a shareholder meeting.
âAs you all know, thereâs been a problem with the Trull Groupâs west suburb project. The money that Prospectus Technology recently invested will likely be hard to recover,â he announced.
âThe companyâs available cash flow is insufficient right now, so weâll need to put a hold on some of the larger projects we had planned.
âOur priority now is to complete the current projects and secure the payments before we move forward with any new plans.â
The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy, with everyone looking concerned.
The funds invested in the west suburb project were significant, and now that problems had emerged- right after Prospectus Technologyâs investmentâit was hard not to be suspicious.
After Damon finished speaking, a shareholder raised a concern. âMr. Sumner, I think someone is trying to sabotage Prospectus Technology. Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental?â
âExactly. We all knew how hot that project was before. If there had been any issues, there shouldâve been some rumors. How could a project that everyone was fighting over suddenly run into trouble?â
