NovelEnglishChapter 226 Richard looked at her with a gaze full of superiority. "You don't have a choice." Nyla's gaze was resolute as she replied, "I have a recording of Clark's affair. If you don't agree, I'll make it public." Her determination was clear-she intended to use this opportunity to divorce Clark.
Richard's expression remained cold, unaffected by her threat. "Don't forget, your father is still in the hospital. I don't want to make things ugly, so I hope you'll be smart about this. Once this scandal dies down, I'll arrange for a quiet divorce." TH "Why should I believe that you'll actually let us divorce?" Nyla pressed.
"You have no choice but to trust me. Right now, you don't have the leverage to negotiate," Richard stated bluntly.
Nyla's hands clenched tightly. For a moment, she considered revealing Cyrus' plot against Harris Pharmaceuticals, but she held back at the last second. Until she had solid evidence that could send Cyrus to prison, she couldn't let the Sumners know what she was aware of.
She took a deep breath and told Richard, "One month. If we're not divorced by then, I'll go public with Clark's affair!" "Fine. Now, let's discuss how to handle this situation," Richard replied.
Half an hour later, Nyla and Clark walked out of the Sumner residence.

Nyla pulled her hand away, her expression mocking. "Clark, you will divorce me-unless you don't care about losing the Sumner Group." Chapter 226 +25 BONUS With that, she turned and got into her car, driving away.
Midway through her drive, she received a call from Valarie, asking about the Sumner Group's statement.
Earlier at the Sumner residence, Richard had mentioned that the Sumner Group would issue a statement claiming the photos were just a matter of misleading angles, downplaying the situation.
They planned to wait until the scandal lost traction and then have Nyla and Clark attend a few events together to show that their marriage was still intact.
"It's exactly what you saw. The Sumners are sweeping it under the rug," Nyla said.
Valarie was furious. "The Sumners are really pushing it too far!" "Getting angry isn't worth it. Clark's grandfather has already agreed that once this blows over, I'll be able to divorce Clark quietly," Nyla said.
"Really? If you can finally get that divorce, it'll be a relief. What Clark and Jordyn have done is disgusting," Valarie remarked.
Nyla wasn't entirely convinced, but she knew she had to gather enough evidence to put Cyrus behind bars. That was the only way to ensure the divorce would go through without any issues.
"Yeah. Valarie, I'm driving right now. Let's talk later," Nyla said.
After hanging up, she turned her car around and headed straight to the police station to meet Lucia. She spent over half an hour there. Whatever their discussion entailed, Nyla signed a letter of leniency before leaving.
Not long after she got home, Damon called her.
"Things didn't go well back home?" he asked.

Nyla lowered her gaze and replied softly, “No. Your father promised that he would arrange for formised that Clark andto divorce quietly once this scandal has passed." There was a brief pause on the other end before Damon's deep voice cthrough. "Did Clark agree to that?" "If he doesn't agree, your father probably won't pass the Sumner Group to him," Nyla said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alright," Damon answered.
They fell into silence. Given their current relationship, there wasn't much more to say.
"I have sthings to take care of... I'll go now," Nyla said, excusing herself.
"Yeah. If you need anything from me, don't hesitate to call," Damon said.
After hanging up, Nyla set her phone aside and opened her laptop. She entered the account and password Lucia had given her into the cloud drive. Soon, she opened an encrypted file.
As she read through the contents, her expression grew icy.
The encrypted file contained not only evidence of Cyrus' plot against Harris Pharmaceuticals but also a wealth of incriminating information about Clement's illegal activities over the years.
