When Kenneth heard that, greed filled his eyes. “Never be able to finish spending in my lifetime? So we’re talking hundreds of thousands?”

A hint of mockery flashed in Lucia’s eyes. What a country bumpkin–he couldn’t even conceive of anything beyond hundreds of thousands.

“If this plan succeeds, we’re not talking hundreds of thousands–we’re talking millions!”

“Really?” Kenneth’s cheeks flushed red from excitement as if he could already see millions beckoning to

him.

“Of course. Come closer, and I’ll explain carefully to you.” Lucia lowered her voice, and Kenneth nodded eagerly, excitement evident in his eyes.

In the end, he looked at Lucia earnestly and said, “Ms. Pollard, I’ll do whatever you say as long as it gets me the money.”

After Kenneth left, Lucia sneered. Before long, all the people she detested would disappear from this world.

Nyla had not been home for long when Clark came knocking.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Nyla could see from the surveillance monitor that he looked angry. She pretended not to notice and went straight to her bedroom

She had originally thought that he would leave if she didn’t open the door for him and made him wait outside for a while. She hadn’t expected him to call a locksmith right away.

Upon hearing the door open, Nyla initially thought she had misheard. It wasn’t until the footsteps approached closer to the bedroom that she quickly got up to lock the bedroom door.

Clark twisted the doorknob but couldn’t open it and looked somewhat helpless. “Nyla, come out. Let’s talk, okay?”

Nyla didn’t say anything but called the police.

Soon, the police arrived.

It wasn’t until the police knocked on the bedroom door and explained their purpose that Nyla opened it.

Clark was subdued by two police officers, his hands cuffed behind his back, looking

He frowned at Nyla. “Nyla, explain to the police that we’re husband and wife.”

remely disheveled.

Nyla looked at him coldly and then told the police officers, “Officers, he and I are indeed married, but we are currently separated. He suddenly hired a locksmith to break into my home today, and who knows what more frightening things he might do tomorrow? Could you please take him away?“.

It would be best if they could detain him for a few days to teach him a lesson.

The police officers nodded and looked at Clark. “Come with us to the station.”

“Nyla, I hired the locksmith because you didn’t open the door for me, and I was worried about you,” Clark said earnestly, but Nyla found it laughable.

She was certain that not only would they have argued, but her safety might have been threatened if she had opened the door when Clark was fuming earlier.

“You can save these explanations for when you’re making your statement to the police. If you ever try to enter my home again without my consent, I’ll have no choice but to take legal action against you.” Clark was furious. He had always had an easy life, and in no way had he ever suffered such indignity.

At the police station, he refused to speak until his lawyer arrived and negotiated directly through the lawyer.

Under the lawyer’s mediation, coupled with Clark and Nyla’s marriage certificate, the police released him but still issued a verbal warning. “Even if you’re married, you can’t break and enter like that.”

The lawyer nodded repeatedly and had to listen to the police for a while before leading Clark away. As soon as they left the police station, Clark ordered coldly, “Take me to Nyla.”

The lawyer looked at him, somewhat helpless. “Mr. Sumner, I suggest you calm down before seeing Ms. Jayston. Otherwise, if she applies for a restraining order from the court, it will negatively impact the company’s image.”
