Clark sensed there was more to Cindy's words. He was about to inquire further when a maid assisted the semi-drunk Cyrus Sumner into the living room.
Clark frowned upon seeing Cyrus and simply said, "Mom, I'm heading back now."
With that, he turned and walked past Cyrus to leave.
Cyrus frowned but said nothing.
Back at the villa, Clark called his secretary, Michael Parkin, instructing him to purchase a mansion in Jordyn's name.
Michael sounded surprised. "Mr. Sumner, if Mrs. Sumner replaces out..."
"Be discreet. Don't let anyone know, especially Nyla."
If Nyla found out Jordyn was keeping the baby, she would be more determined to divorce him. Thinking about it made Clark feel troubled.
"Alright, I understand."
Ending the call, Michael sighed softly..
This was no different from pushing Nyla away. Clark's affair was already unforgivable-now, keeping a woman outside was like digging their marriage's grave.
Michael knew he was just a secretary and had to do as Clark ordered.
Over the next few days, Lucia took leave and did not come to work.
Nyla officially entered the lab to start developing drugs. She thought life would continue quietly, but Cindy came to her on Friday night.
They met at a restaurant near Nyla's company.
Just as they sat down, Cindy said, "I heard you moved out because Clark has another woman outside."
Nyla paused flipping through the menu and looked up at Cindy.
Seeing Cindy's displeasure, Nyla closed the menu and said calmly, "It seems like in your eyes, this is just a trivial matter."
"Of course. If Clark didn't like you, do you think you could marry into the Sumners with your background? As the wife of the future decision-
maker of the Sumner Group, you'll only hold Clark back if you can't even tolerate this."
Nyla chuckled at Cindy's self-righteousness.
When Nyla and Clark were fine, she wouldn't argue with Cindy, even if the latter said things she didn't like, out of respect for Cindy being Clark's mother. But she didn't intend to endure it anymore.

"It seems you must have had a lot of experience when you were young, given your tolerance."
It was said that when Cyrus
was young, he had many admirers, and his womanizer reputation spread throughout the upper class in Saintornia. Because of this reputation, Richard removed him from the candidate list of successors to the S Group and began to train Clark.
Cindy scowled, her eyes betraying her revulsion. "Is this your attitude when you talk to your elders? Your upbringing is truly exceptional!"
Nyla stood up nonchalantly. "I don't need you to worry about my upbringing. If you have time, it would be best to keep an eye on your son because I really can't understand what kind of family would raise a married man who has an affair."
The mockery in her tone infuriated Cindy. She took the water in front of Nyla and splashed it on her face.
Nyla wanted to avoid it, but it was too late. The water splashed onto her face, and the side of her hair and coat were immediately soaked. She frowned, about to speak when suddenly a few tissues were handed to her.
"Here, wipe yourself."
Nyla was surprised to see Damon handing her the tissues. She took them and murmured a thank you. Cindy hadn't expected to run into Damon there, especially not while he witnessed her splashing water at her daughter-in-law. She felt a momentary flush of embarrassment.
"Damon... What are you doing here?"
"I just came for a meal with a client. I didn't expect to witness such a spectacle."
Cindy's expression darkened. "I'm just teaching this inexperienced daughter-in-law of mine a lesson. I am sorry you had to see this."
Damon smirked, but his eyes held no warmth.
"My subordinates informed me earlier that you intend to keep the child that Clark h they had it wrong. I didn't think you'd be so foolish." outside. I thought
