Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 299

“Did you finish talking with my dad?” Nyla asked.

Damon glanced down at her and replied, “Yes.”

“I’ll go in and say a few words to him, and then we’ll head back, “Nyla said.

“Alright,” Damon agreed. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nyla entered the hospital room. To her surprise, Harrison’s expression was less distressed than before. Though still stern, he seemed to have softened considerably.

“Dad, please reconsider going abroad for treatment. If you really don’t want to go, I won’t force you,” Nyla said.

Harrison looked up at her and said coldly, “No need to reconsider. I know what I want. As for you and Damon… I suggest you think it through. After all, he’s Clark’s uncle.

“If you’re with him, you’ll face not only public gossip but also opposition from the Sumners. The path with him will be much harder than it was with Clark.”

Nyla was taken aback by his response. She wondered what Damon had said to change Harrison’s attitude so drastically.

“I’ve thought it through, Dad,” she replied.

“As long as you’ve thought it through. I won’t say anything more. I can’t offer you any help now. The path you choose is yours alone. Whether it brings you happiness or distress, you’ll have to face it on your own,” Harrison said.

Nyla nodded. “I understand.”

On the way back to the villa, Nyla couldn’t help but ask Damon what he had told Harrison.

Damon smiled. “It’s a secret.”

Despite her persistent questioning, he didn’t reveal anything, so she had to let it go.

When they arrived back at the villa, they saw Clark’s car parked out front.

Damon’s smile faded, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

As they got out of the car, Clark and Cindy emerged.

Cindy’s face was a mask of anger and resentment as she looked at Nyla.

Clark spoke first. “Uncle Damon, I need to talk to Nyla alone. Could we have some privacy?”

“No,” Damon replied flatly.

Clark frowned at the immediate refusal. Remembering their purpose was to apologize, he managed to suppress his frustration.

He turned to Nyla and tried to keep his tone calm. “Nyla, my mother and I came here today to apologize for what she said about you. We hope you can let it go and not pursue the matter further.”

Since Nyla had refused to reconcile, the incident had spread widely among the elite circles in Saintornia. If it wasn’t resolved soon, it would make its way to the company, a situation Clark couldn’t afford.

Having just taken over the company from Cyrus, Clark couldn’t let this issue become a point of contention, especially with shareholders already dissatisfied. He needed to address this before it caused further trouble.

Nyla raised an eyebrow, glancing at the unwilling Cindy, and smiled slightly. “You’re here to apologize, but I don’t see any remorse from Mrs. Sumner. Instead, she seems to despise me.

Cindy, already reluctant to come, was nearly enraged by Nyla’s sarcastic remark. With a warning glance from Clark, she bit back her retort.

Cindy took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Nyla, I admit I went too far this time… I apologize. Since we were once family, it’s not beneficial for either of us to make this public. Will you ask your lawyer to drop the lawsuit?”
