Chasing the Unexpected

Nyla didn’t pay any attention to Clark as she walked right past him.

Unexpectedly, Clark followed her to her car. “Nyla, if you just take the flowers and breakfast. I’ll leave.

Nyla frowned, barely holding back the urge to snap at him.

Just as she was about to respond, an angry voice cut through the air. “Clark, stay away from Nyla!”

Both Clark and Nyla turned to see Gabriel approaching.

A flicker of surprise crossed Clark’s face before he forced a smile. ” Gabriel, what are you doing here?”

Gabriel’s expression was cold and unyielding. “You and Nyla are divorced. Stay away from her, or you’ll have to deal with me!”

Clark’s smile faded slightly, and his tone chilled. “What happens between Nyla and me is none of your business. Don’t forget, you’re just her stepbrother. Don’t think too highly of yourself!”

Gabriel’s face darkened immediately.

Before he could reply, the sound of an engine starting broke the tense silence–Nyla had driven off without saying another word.

The two men stood there, locked in a dark glare.

Clark scoffed, then turned and walked away.

Gabriel narrowed his eyes as he watched Clark leave.

Clark pulled up to the courthouse at 9:00 a.m. sharp.

After waiting over ten minutes without any sign patience began to wear thin.

Jordyn, his

He called her. “When are you getting here? Even if you don’t show up today, I have plenty of ways to make you agree to the divorce!”

There was a brief pause before Jordyn’s voice came through. “I’m not going to divorce you.”

“Jordyn, don’t push your luck while I’m still willing to talk nicely,” Clark warned.

“I met with Mr. Durant last night. He agreed to collaborate with your company. Are you sure you still want a divorce?” Jordyn asked.

Albert Durant, whom she mentioned, was a former client of the Sumner Group. Jordyn had been his point of contact back when she worked as a secretary.

Since Clark took over Cyrus‘ company, he had been trying to secure a partnership with Albert, but the latter had consistently refused to meet him. Securing this partnership could resolve the company’s current issues.

How could Jordyn, just a lowly secretary, have managed to change

Albert’s mind?

“Jordyn, are you making this up because you don’t want a divorce? Do you really think I’ll believe this nonsense?” Clark questioned.

Jordyn knew Clark wouldn’t trust her easily, so she calmly replied, ” Mr. Durant has already signed the contract. I have it here. If your don’t believe me, you can come and see it for yourself.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

She hung up immediately after.

But Jartiye didn’t believe him. She knew Clark too well. He was a man who would do anything to get what he wanted. If he could stay marret for the sake of a contract today, he could just as easily abandon her for something else tonerrew.
