Jordyn's sobs stopped abruptly, her eyes filled with grievance. "Clark, my feelings for you are genuine."

The thought of her scheming made Clark feel a surge of disgust. "What's your 'genuine feelings' worth?"

He pulled out a bank card and tossed it on the table, his expression cold. "There's 300,000 dollars on this card. Take the money and get an abortion. Otherwise, I'll have my bodyguards drag you to the hospital. You know what to choose."

Jordyn hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the card with trembling hands and ran out of the restaurant

Nyla's cold tone was like a bucket of ice water, instantly cooling

The only response Clark got was the sound of the call ending
