If these pieces of evidence were exposed, they would ensure that both Cyrus and Clement spent the rest of their lives in prison,
Nyla made several copies of the files and stored them in different locations before finally shutting down her computer.
With this evidence in hand, she had the power to fight back if the Sumners failed to keep their promises.
Regardless of whether they honored their word, she was determined to hand over these files to the police eventually, ensuring that Clement and Cyrus would face the consequences of their actions.
The next morning, as Nyla arrived at the office, Melody greeted her excitedly. "Nyla! I can't believe it-
you're married to Clark Sumner, the CEO of the Sumner Group! Doesn't that mean Mr. Damon Sumner of Prospectus Technology is your uncle?"
It was no wonder she had always felt that Damon treated Nyla with a certain level of care-it turned out they were family.
Nyla frowned slightly. "How do you know about this?"
This explained why she had sensed odd looks from the employees of Prospectus Technology when she arrived this morning. Before Nyla and Clark got married, they announced the wedding but kept her identity private, so only a few people knew about it. Melody paused, momentarily startled, then said, "Didn't a gossip account post a picture yesterday of Mr. Clark supposedly having an affair with his secretary? This morning, he released a statement saying that you're his wife and that your relationship is strong..." Chapter 227

Nyla quickly pulled out her phone and went online, where she indeed found Clark's statement.
Not only had he released a statement, but he had also shared numerous details about their married life, portraying himself as a devoted husband who would never betray his wife.
Nyla's hands trembled as she gripped the phone, stunned by Clark's shamelessness. He had chosen this moment to reveal their marriage, just to clear his name.
Seeing Nyla's dark expression and lack of any joy, Melody realized she might have said the wrong thing. "Nyla..."Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Nyla took a deep breath and looked at her. "Let's focus on the
experiment. I'll be back in a moment."
She walked out of the lab and immediately called Clark.
"Clark, what's the meaning of that statement?" she demanded.
"Ms. Jayston, Clark is busy making me fresh juice right now. If you have something to say, I can relay the message." Jordyn's sweet voice echoed from the other end of the line.
Nyla frowned, her tone cold. "Put him on the phone."
"I'm afraid that's not possible. He's a bit too occupied to take your call," Jordyn replied, her tone dripping with glee and provocation.
Nyla scoffed and ended the call without another word.
When she returned to the lab and
saw Melody nervously avoiding her gaze, Nyla felt a pang of
helplessness. "Melody, I'm not upset with you. I was just surprised, that's all
Melody let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. I was worried I had said something wrong."

"No. This has nothing to do with you. Let's focus on the experiment," Nyla said.
Melody nodded. "Right. By the way, Nyla, Mr. Hogg delivered an invitation earlier this morning. I left it on your desk, so don't forget to check it."
Nyla walked over to her desk and picked up the envelope.
Spencer had sent an invitation to a pharmaceutical research
symposium in Saintornia, hosted by the Sumner Group and attended by several pharmaceutical companies. The focus of the
symposium was closely related to her current research, so attending could be very beneficial for her work.
She checked the date-Friday evening.
With no other plans at that time, she asked Melody to clear her
schedule so they could attend the symposium together.
Just as Nyla was about to start the experiment, her phone buzzed with a message from Damon, inviting her to dinner that evening. Today's Bonus Offer
