Nyla stopped in her tracks and looked at Damon. “Oh? So?”

The coldness in her eyes made Damon’s gaze dim slightly, and his voice lowered. “Nothing. I just thought you wouldn’t give him another chance.”

“If you have nothing else to say, Mr. Sumner, please stop bothering me in the future,” Nyla replied.

His obvious attempt to probe her feelings felt pointless to her. She had no intention of giving Clark another chance, and she certainly wasn’t going to give Damon one either.

Back home, Nyla decided to stay indoors for a while to avoid running into anyone from the Sumners or Jordyn. She also began considering whether she should rent a place in Capitarnia to focus on preparing for her exams.

After all the entanglements with Clark and Jordyn, she strongly felt that staying in Saintornia would only lead to more harassment.

With that thought in mind, she picked up the phone and called Caroline.

Clark had just arrived at his villa when he spotted a disheveled Jordyn standing under a streetlamp. She looked pale and utterly exhausted.

The moment Jordyn saw Clark’s car, she rushed forward and threw herself in front of it.

Startled, Clark slammed on the brakes.

The car stopped just inches from her, and he jumped out, furious. Grabbing her by the arm, he yanked her to the side. “Jordyn, if you want to die, do it somewhere else. Stop disgusting me with your presence!”

With a thud, Jordyn dropped to her knees in front of him.

Tears filled her reddened eyes as she looked up at him. “Mr. Sumner, I did everything you asked. Please, I beg you, let my family go.

“My father has asthma–I’m scared something will happen to him. I know I was wrong. I’ll do anything you want. Just let them go.”

Her plea was full of desperation, but Clark’s gaze remained cold. “I told you: as long as Nyla doesn’t forgive you, I won’t let your family go.”

“Mr. Sumner…” Jordyn reached out, trying to grab Clark’s sleeve, but he recoiled in disgust.

“Don’t touch me with your filthy hands,” he spat. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Just thinking about how Jordyn had slept with other men while they were together made Clark feel sick to his stomach. His expression of disgust deepened.

How blind had he been to think Jordyn was better than Nyla?

Now, looking at Jordyn, he realized she wasn’t even worthy of being compared to a single finger of Nyla’s.

Seeing the loathing in Clark’s eyes, Jordyn trembled. She gripped the hem of her clothes, tears rolling

down her cheeks as a cold chill spread through her heart.

She had been with Clark for so long. Aside from the matter of the child, she had always been sincere. Yet now, he despised her to the point of wanting nothing to do with her.

“Clark, do you really have no feelings for me at all? Are you trying to drive me to despair?” she questioned.

“Feelings? We were just a business transaction. There’s no such thing as feelings,” Clark replied.

Without another glance at her, he got back in his car and drove off.

Jordyn didn’t chase after him. Her tear–filled eyes followed his car until it disappeared into the driveway of the villa, the gate slowly closing behind it.

For a moment, she stood there dazed before finally turning to leave.

Back home, the first thing Jordyn did was dial Rebecca’s number.

“You said before that you wanted to take down Nyla. I’m willing to help, and I can take the fall for whatever happens. But you have to promise me one thing,” she said.

Rebecca was lounging on the balcony of her room when she heard that. She raised an eyebrow. “And what’s the condition?”

“I want to use Nyla to force Clark to let my family go. As long as my family is safe, I’ll do whatever you want,” Jordyn stated.
