Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 146

Damon’s eyes grew cold when he saw Nyla curled up in the corner, eyes closed, her face flushed unnaturally, and her body trembling. He was about to rush over when Clark suddenly pushed him aside, quickly striding to Nyla and lifting her into his arms.

Seeing that Nyla had already fallen unconscious, Marie frowned. She had only intended to lock Nyla up for a night to teach her a lesson, never expecting things to escalate like this.

Filled with anger but unable to lash out at Marie, Clark spoke in a low. voice. “Grandmother, I need to take Nyla to the hospital.”

Without waiting for a response, he carried Nyla out quickly.

Damon clenched his fists tightly as he watched him leave, his eyes flashing with fury.

Marie looked at Damon and couldn’t help but ask, “Damon, did I go too far?”

Seeing Nyla in such a state made her feel a twinge of guilt.

Damon’s expression remained indifferent. “What do you think? This wasn’t her fault, yet you punished her because you knew she had no one to support her. Don’t you think that’s unfair?”

Marie was at a loss for words.

After a few seconds, she muttered, “But it all started because of her. If she hadn’t forced Jacqueline to kneel, the Sumner Group wouldn’t have lost billions.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Damon sneered. “Someone tried to set her up. Shouldn’t she fight back? And it wasn’t her who forced Jacqueline to kneel–it was me. If you need someone to blame, I’ll stay here tonight.”

Marie said sternly, “No, your health isn’t good. If you stay here all night…

She fell silent, meeting Damon’s mocking gaze.

“Mom, she’s part of the Sumners. Jacqueline’s attempt to scheme. against her at the banquet might have been a provocation against the

Sumners.

“The Rainford Group has been secretly contacting the Sumner Group’s competitors. Even without last night’s incident, they would have found another reason to break the contract soon,” Damon said, then turned

and left.

Marie sighed and instructed a maid, “Send some supplements to Nyla. tomorrow.”

She realized she had indeed gone too far this time.

When Nyla woke up and found herself in the hospital, she was surprised.

Turning her head, she saw Clark sleeping by her bedside, and her emotions became conflicted. It seemed that Clark had sensed

something was wrong, tracked her to the Sumner residence, and saved her.

She carefully tried to get out of bed to use the bathroom, but her movement woke Clark.

Seeing her awake, he quickly asked, “Are you feeling any discomfort?”

“Just a bit dizzy, but otherwise fine,” Nyla answered.

Clark sighed in relief upon hearing that. As he saw Nyla attempting to get out of bed, he moved to assist her, but she waved him off, saying, No need. I can manage myself.”
