Chapter 225 The disappointment in Richard's eyes made Clark's heart sink. “Grandpa, I just couldn't resist the temptation for a moment. I know I was wrong." Richard's anger deepened. "If you can't resist even a small temptation, how will you handle greater ones in the future? I can't trust you with the Sumner G should resign.* Clark was appalled.

1. You Just as he was about to speak, Cindy's voice, filled with indignation, cut him off." Dad, aren't you being too harsh on Clark? He only strayed because Nyla can't have children. Do you really expect Clark to spend his whole life with a woman who won't give him children?" Nyla let out a cold laugh. Cindy was really grasping at excuses for Clark's affair. It was as if his lack of self- control was somehow her fault.

"Don't you think that's ridiculous? Before Jordyn got pregnant, did he even know that would happen?" Nyla countered.

"What? That woman is pregnant?" Marie asked, looking at Clark with a mix of frustration and disappointment. "Clark, how could you be so foolish?" If this got out, the Sumners' reputation would be in tatters.

Clark kept his head down, unable to meet Marie's gaze. He knew she was his only hope now.

"Grandma, I'm sorry. I really know I was wrong. I promise it won't happen again, and I've worked at the Sumner Group for so long. I don't want to leave," he pleaded.

Nyla's expression was full of disdain. "Clark, you really want to have it all, don't you?" "Shut up!" Cindy snapped. "If you had kept Clark under control, he wouldn't have gotten involved with that other woman. You're just as much to blfor this mess!" Nyla wanted to roll her eyes but knew Cindy wasn't the one who had the final say there, so she didn't bother arguing. Instead, she turned to Richard and said calmly, Grandpa, now that Clark's affair is known to everyone, I have no interest in maintaining is marriage. I'm planning to divorce him." Everyone in the room turned their eyes to her, especially Clark, who stared at her with a mix of ange fisbelief.

Richard glowered, lowering his gaze as he sank into deep thought. Although he was in his 70s, his authoritative presence still commanded respect and fear.

Nyla ignored Clark and kept her eyes on Richard, waiting for his response.

After a tense silence, Richard finally spoke, his voice heavy. "I understand how you feel, but you can't divorce Clark right now."

At this point, the only evidence available online was photos, with no substantial proof. IfXyla divorced Clark now, it would be akin to indirectly admitting that he had indeed had an affair.

Although Richard was deeply disappointed by Clark's actions, Clark was still someone he had personally groomed for the family business. He couldn't just abandon him over one mistake. His harsh words earlier were intended to teach Clark a lesson, ensuring he wouldn't repeat such behavior.

Nyla's hands clenched at her sides, and her gaze grew cold as she looked at Richard. She hadn't expected that, even with Jordyn pregnant, the Sumners would still side with Clark. "And what if I insist on getting a divorce?" she asked.
