Chasing the Unexpected

Clark sneered. “I was wondering why you were so eager to divorce me. Turns out you’ve latched onto my uncle. Nyla, you’re no different from those cheap women out there.”

Nyla slapped him hard across the face, drawing the attention of everyone around them.

Clark had never felt so humiliated. His eyes blazed with fury as he reached out to choke Nyla.

Before he could touch her, a powerful kick sent him crashing to the ground.

Damon pulled Nyla into his arms, looking down at Clark with cold, piercing eyes. “She’s your future aunt Show some respect when you speak, or next time it won’t just be a kick.”

Upon hearing the words “future aunt“, Clark’s face flushed with rage.

“Uncle Damon, Grandpa and Grandma will never allow you to marry a divorced woman. Being with her will only make you a laughingstock in Saintornia!” Clark spatBelongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

The more he spoke, the more smug he became.

Richard and Marie had always been so picky about the women they wanted for Damon. Yet here Damon was, falling for a woman who had been married before!

“Why don’t you worry about yourself? Do you really think marrying Jordyn will give you a shot at inheriting the Sumner Group?” Damon shot back.

Clark’s triumphant expression froze, and his hands clenched into fists at his sides. If Nyla hadn’t exposed his marriage, Richard wouldn’t have been so disappointed in him.

Clark wanted nothing more than to strangle Nyla. The love he once felt for her had twisted into pure hatred.

“Uncle Damon, you’ll regret this. Just wait,” Clark warned.

Damon didn’t spare him another glance. He simply took Nyla’s hand and walked away.

Nyla tried to pull her hand back, but he didn’t let go.

“There are so many people watching–just let go of me for now!” Nyla whispered harshly.

Noticing the shocked stares from those around her, she wished she could disappear. She had hoped to

eep things low–key, but now everyone knew on the very first day.

“What’s there to be afraid of? The people in the company aren’t stupid. After what just happened, do you really think we can keep this a secret?” Damon asked.

Realizing he was right, Nyla stopped struggling.

When they reached the lab door, Damon told her, “Come to my office at noon.”

“For what?” she asked.

Lunch,” he answered.

Seeing that Nyla was about to refuse, Damon raised an eyebrow. “I just drove you here. A lot of people

saw us together. Do you really want to eat in the cafeteria with everyone staring at you?”

Tyla pressed her lips together. “I could order takeout.

“It’s unhealthy. I’ll either come down and eat with you, or you can come to my office. Your choice,” Damon replied

His eyes exuded domineering determination, leaving Flyla no room to refuse. After a few seconds of silence, she finally relented. Tll go to your office”

Soon, Damon left, and Hyla sighed. As she turned around, she saw Melody standing a few steps away, her eyes wide with shock and admiration.

“Nyla, you’re really with Mr. Sumner? I saw the discussion in the company group chat earlier and thought it was just a misunderstanding. Melody gushed.

Having been married to Clark and now being with his uncle, Nyla knew people would talk. She could already imagine the gossip that would follow.

However, when she decided to be with Damon, she had mentally prepared herself for this. It simply happened sooner than expected.

“Let’s get back to work,” she said.

Melody wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Nyla wasn’t in the mood to talk, she held back her curiosity.

News of Damon and Nyla’s relationship quickly reached Richard and Marie.

Marie was so furious that she fainted, while Richard immediately called Damon, demanding he come

home.

Damon’s tone was cold. “Dad, if you’re calling about me and Nyla, then there’s no need-”

Richard cut him off, his voice full of anger. “Are you coming back yourself, or should I go to Prospectus Technology and have a talk with that woman? You decide!”
