Chasing the Unexpected

Clark frowned, displeasure evident in his eyes

Nyla didn’t even glance at him as she opened the car door and got in

During the drive back, they remained silent. At traffic lights, Clark glanced at tylk several times, as if he wanted to say something.

Nevertheless, Nyla kept her gaze fixed out the window, offering no indicatiean that she wanted to talk

When they reached Nyla’s building and she was about to get out of the car, Clark finally spoke up. “Nyla, does Dad’s scheme against Uncle Demon tonight have anything to do with you?”

Nyla turned to him, her eyes cold. “Why would you think it’s related to me?

Clark’s gaze grew heavy. After a long pause, he shook his head. No reason I just noticed you disappeared for a while earlier, so I thought I’d ask

“If you really want to know the truth, you should ask your dad, Hyla said and then pushed the car door open to leave.

At home, Nyla sat on the sofa and pulled out her phone to find Damon’s contact information. After a moment’s hesitation, she called him.

The next morning, Nyla got up an hour early, spent half an hour on her makeup, and chose a fitted dress to wear.

When she arrived at the company, she went straight to the top floor.

As she entered Damon’s office, he was preparing to review documents. An inscrutable emotion flickered in his eyes upon seeing her.

“You’re wearing makeup today?” Damon asked.

Nyla paused momentarily before nodding. “Yes.”

Damon didn’t pursue the matter further. He was pleased that she had put effort into her appearance for him.

She took a seat across from him, and he finally spoke. “You were serious about wanting a divorce from Clark?”

“Yes. There’s no need to continue this marriage,” Nyla replied.

She knew that if she asked for a divorce, Clark would not agree. Only with Damon’s help could she ensure a smooth divorce.

“How much do you want in terms of asset division?” Damon asked.

Nyla looked up in surprise, her gaze confused. She had expected Damon to only help with the divorce, not to negotiate for her share of the assets.

“Alright, I understand. You can go back for now,” Damon said.

Damon chuckled, raising an eyebrow as he looked at her. “Are you doubting my ability to get you that divorce?”
