“Wait!” Wren stopped him. “Harrison’s been very unstable since Nyla’s fall. He has tried to end his life several times. I told him Nyla’s body hasn’t been found, so she might still be alive, which gave him a reason to hold on. If he asks you to look for Nyla, just play along. The most important thing is to help him get through this period.”
Gabriel impatiently shook off her hand and replied coldly, “Got it.”
As Gabriel entered the hospital room, he noticed that Harrison looked even more emaciated than before. He hesitated, his step faltering.
When Harrison saw him, he managed a weak smile. “Gabriel… you’re back… You must have heard about Nyla. I need to ask you for a favor….”
Gabriel took his hand, his expression serious. “I understand. You don’t need to say more. I’ll look for Nyla. I won’t give up until I find her.”
Harrison’s eyes reddened as he grasped Gabriel’s hand. “Thank you!”
“It’s the least I can do,” Gabriel replied.
He lingered for a moment before standing up to leave.
As he walked out of the room, his expression immediately turned icy. He called his assistant. “Find out Nyla’s whereabouts. Alive or dead, I want to see her!”
After hanging up, determination flashed in his eyes. He tightened his grip on his phone.
If it weren’t for Damon and Clark, Nyla wouldn’t be in this situation. He wouldn’t let anyone from the Sumners go unpunished!
At the Sumner residence…
Cyrus and Richard sat in the living room, both looking grim.
Richard gave him a cold look. “You want me to handle him? How can I control him? Does he even listen to me?”
Richard remained silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice. “Nyla has just fallen into the sea. Let him vent on a few people for now.”
Cyrus, visibly agitated, glared at Richard. “You’re blased toward him! If it were me or Clark doing this, you’d have locked us up in the old wing by now!”
“If you and Clark could start your own companies without relying on the family, I wouldn’t interfere!” Richard snapped.
Cyrus was rendered speechless, his face a mix of fluster and embarrassment.
After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and asked, “What if he keeps this up? Are we really going to let him turn the entire city upside down for a woman?”
Upon seeing Cyrus‘ hesitation, Richard’s expression darkened as he asked, “What exactly are you suggesting?!”
“I heard there’s a form of hypnosis abroad that can make people lose part of their memory without affecting them otherwise. What if…” Cyrus proposed.
