Chapter 295 

After Clark’s outburst, he turned and left in a hurry. 

Nyla felt a mix of emotions. It was clear that Clark was trying. to avoid offending Damon while still preserving his pride. She couldn’t understand why she had ever fallen for such a 

spineless man. 

Once he was gone, she resumed eating her steak as if nothing. had happened. 

Before long, she noticed Damon’s gaze fixed intently on her face. She looked up and asked, puzzled, “Is there something on my face? Why do you keep staring at me?” 

“It’s nothing,” Damon replied. “I just thought you might be affected by what he said.” 

“Why would I let him affect my mood? He’s a stranger to me. now. It’s not worth getting upset over him,” Nyla said. 

“That’s good to hear,” Damon remarked. 

After dinner, they returned directly to the villa. 

Meanwhile, it took over an hour at the police station for Clark to bail out Cindy. 

Cindy’s eyes were red with anger. “That bitch Nyla! How dare she sue me? I won’t let her get away with this!” 

The lawyer beside her said sternly, “Ms. Sharrock, the evidence.

for the defamation lawsuit has already been submitted. Not only will you need to apologize, but you’ll also have to pay a certain amount in compensation” 

“What?! I have to apologize? I refuse to do that!” Cindy huffed. 

The lawyer replied somewhat helplessly, “If you don’t cooperate, the penalties might increase, which could end up being worse for you.” 

“I can pay more, but I will never apologize to her!” Cindy insisted. 

Seeing Cindy’s firm stance, the lawyer turned to Clark, who wore a gloomy expression. “Mr. Sumner…” 

Clark took a deep breath and said coldly, “Tell her lawyer that we’re willing to negotiate the compensation but that an apology is not on the table.” 

He understood Cindy’s feelings. Even if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to accept apologizing to Nyla. 

“Understood. I’ll handle it,” the lawyer replied. 

After the lawyer left, Clark shot a cold glance at Cindy before heading to his car. 

Cindy hesitated momentarily but then followed him. 

Once they were in the car, Cindy could no longer contain her anger. “Nyla is absolutely outrageous! Does she think that just because she’s with Damon now, she can look down on us?” 

Clark turned to her, his eyes devoid of warmth. “She can look

down on us because we can’t compete with Damon. Next time, before you act, use your brain and avoid these foolish schemes that only make us look bad in front of Nyla.” 

Cindy was taken aback and about to retort when her phone suddenly buzzed with a flood of notifications. 

She found dozens of messages, not in private chats, but in several group chats of Saintornia’s high–society wives. 

[I heard Cindy falsely accused Nyla of assault, and now she’s been sued and ended up at the police station tonight!] 

[Yes, I heard the same. How could Mrs. Sumner do something like this–making false accusations against her ex–daughter–in- law? It’s disgraceful!] 

[She always acted so high and mighty, flaunting her marriage to Cyrus. I heard she looked so embarrassed when she left the police station. Hahaha!] 

Seeing those mocking messages, Cindy was irritated. She recorded a voice message and began arguing with the people in the group, only to be ridiculed further 

As Cindy shook with intense emotions and was about to continue the argument, Clark’s cold voice cut in. “That’s enough. Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough already?!”
