Chapter 216\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Damon arrived, Nyla was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly. Hearing the footsteps, she looked up toward the door. Her eyes were red and filled with helplessness and fear, like a frightened little rabbit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUncle Damon, you\u2019re here,\u201d she called out,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon approached her and asked in a low voice, \u201cAre\u00a0<\/p>\n
you hurt?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nyla shook her head. \u201cI\u2019m okay\u2026 I was at the bar with Valarie. I wasn\u2019t home\u2026 When I came back, this is what I found\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon frowned. \u201cHave you called the police?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I did. They should be arriving soon,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. You can\u2019t stay here. I\u2019ll have Spencer find you a new place,\u201d Damon said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I stay with you for the next few days?\u201d Nyla asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as she finished speaking, the living room fell silent, so quiet that they could almost hear each other\u2019s breathing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon\u2019s eyes narrowed dangerously as he spoke, each word deliberate. \u201cDo you know what you\u2019re saying?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His direct gaze seemed to penetrate everything, making Nyla feel as if she had nowhere to hide. It was as though all her thoughts were exposed to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She forced herself to meet his gaze and nodded. \u201cI do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon looked at her and chuckled. \u201cI thought it would take you a while longer to make up your mind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He knew that Nyla was with him primarily to use him, but that was alright. There would come a day when she would fall in love with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nyla pressed her lips together, about to speak, when footsteps came from the doorway\u2013the police had arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aside from taking statements, Damon mostly handled the discussions with the police, while Nyla answered questions occasionally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the police left, Damon turned to Nyla. \u201cI have to go to the office later. Do you want to come with me, or should I pick you up after work?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to clean up the house and prepare some clothes,\u201d Nyla answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Damon nodded. \u201cAlright. I\u2019ll arrange for someone to protect you. Call me if you need anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression remained cool, but his gaze held a hint of warmth. It was like snow melting away, creating ripples in Nyla\u2019s heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned her gaze away and nodded. \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the next moment, she found herself enveloped in a warm embrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon\u2019s dry, warm hand stroked her head, his voice low and gentle. \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid. I\u2019m here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nyla stiffened for a moment, then wrapped her arms around his waist, closing her eyes and silently apologizing in her heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t want to use Damon, but being with him was her only way to confront the Sumners right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She felt too selfish and didn\u2019t deserve Damon\u2019s feelings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sensing her response, Damon tightened his hold slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a long moment, he finally released her. \u201cI\u2019ll come to pick you up later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His gaze was much warmer than before, causing Nyla\u2019s face to flush slightly. She lowered her head and said, \u201cAlright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her shy and hesitant demeanor made Damon\u2019s eyes darken a little. It took him several seconds to regain his composure. He suddenly understood why people kept their mistresses hidden in the palace in the olden days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Damon left, Nyla patted her flushed cheeks and calmed herself down to start tidying up the disheveled living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time Nyla finished organizing, it was already past 3:00 p.m. She brewed a cup of tea and sat on the sofa, absently tapping her fingers on the cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since Clark had done this to her home, she needed to get back at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After thinking for a moment, she dialed a number for an entertainment news outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By evening, a breaking news story had taken over the headlines of major entertainment publications:\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Shocking! Clark Sumner, former CEO of the Sumner Group, remarries his mistress\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
on the very day of his divorce!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the evening commute, a typically dull time, this entertainment headline immediately grabbed everyone\u2019s attention, and people eagerly discussed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t long before the news reached Richard and Marie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Richard immediately called Clark, berating and ordering him to suppress the news within an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Clark called Nyla, she was preparing dinner. Expecting his call, she had taken him off her blocked list.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as the call connected, Clark\u2019s nearly shouting voice came through. \u201cNyla,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and how can you be so malicious?! The biggest mistake of my life was loving you marrying you against everyone\u2019s opposition!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nyla sprinkled some coriander into the soup, thinking that Clark\u2019s voice had never sounded so pleasing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She laughed softly and replied slowly, \u201cDon\u2019t be in a hurry. You\u2019ll have plenty more chances to regret it. Today won\u2019t be the last time you do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
