Chasing the Unexpected

“It’s a long story. Just let me handle it,” Nyla said and hung up.

As she watched the number of hateful comments against her skyrocket, her expression grew colder.

On the other side, Clark had just returned to his villa when he received a call from Michael. “Mr. Sumner,

with someone posted a video of Mabel’s father kneeling to Mrs. Sumner. The Internet is blowing up people cursing her. Should we take the video down?”

Clark’s gaze darkened. After a moment, he replied, “No leave it up. I’ll deal with it when she comes to me.”

He thought he had been too lenient with Nyla recently, which was why she had been so cold toward him. This incident would remind her of her place.

Damon also heard about the online attack on Nyla and immediately contacted her, asking if she needed help removing the video.

Nyla felt a pang of bitterness hearing Damon’s calm voice over the phone. The video had been circulating for over an hour, so there was no way Clark didn’t know about it. Yet, the one person who should care the most hadn’t reached out to her. Instead, it was Damon who called to offer help.

“Uncle Damon, no need. I can handle this myself.

“Are you sure?” Damon asked, his doubt evident.

Nyla couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, I was cautious enough to record our conversation whe me outside the office the other day. I’ll upload the recording online.”

Damon was surprised but impressed by her foresight. “Good. If you need anything, you can always contact Spencer.”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Thank you, Uncle Damon.”

After hanging up, Nyla uploaded the recording with a scheduled release and set her phone aside to apply a face mask. Lucia had gone to such lengths, so Nyla decided to let her bask in her fleeting triumph.

As the online vitriol against Nyla intensified, Lucia grew more pleased with herself. At first, she feared Clark might intervene on Nyla’s behalf, but seeing no signs of it, she concluded he had no intention of helping

With the current trajectory, Park Pharmaceuticals would likely buckle under public pressure and fire Nyla

by tomorrow.

The thought of never seeing Nyla again filled Lucia with satisfaction. Using a fake account, she added a few more hateful comments against Nyla before preparing to go to bed,

Suddenly, a notification popped up on her phone. Taken aback, she quickly went back online. Nyla’s post had shot to the top of the trending list.

Lucia hurriedly clicked on it and found the audio recording of the conversation between Nyla and

Kenneth.

Lucia gritted her teeth as she read through the comments. The tide had turned completely.

[Oh my god! The reason he knelt was that his daughter almost disfigured Nyla! And Nyla didn’t even ask him to kneel. The influencer who posted is so shameless!]

[Apologizing to Nyla. My dad is a farm worker too, so I was quick to judge without knowing the full story. Sorry, sorry, sorry.]

[It’s not just the influencer. The blame’s on the colleague who tried to disfigure Nyla and the person who filmed this video. They clearly had malicious intent. It must be someone close to Nyla, probably a coworker.]

[Goodness, working with someone who’s constantly watching you from the shadows is terrifying. It’s disgusting, like a rat in the gutter.]
