Chapter 177 +25 BONUS Although Clark was smiling, Jason felt a chill run down his spine, leaving him uneasy.
After several moments of silence, he finally managed to say, "Mr. Sumner... my grandson didn't mean it. If you let him off this time, I promise he won't make such a foolish mistake again..." Seeing the fear in Jason's eyes, Clark felt no sympathy. “It seems your grandson isn't that impressive. He's in his 20s and still needs you to beg on his behalf." Realizing Clark was throwing his previous words back at him, Jason felt a surge of anger.
Still, he swallowed his frustration and said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Sumner, it was my fault for not teaching my grandson properly." "If you can't even discipline your own grandson, you shouldn't be pointing fingers at me," Clark replied.

In his office, Clark called Damon. "Uncle Damon, what is this about? Are you targetingbecause of what happened at the hospital?" Damon's cold voice replied, "The decision to terminate the contract with the Sumner Group was made by the board of directors." Clark snorted. "Don't givethat nonsense. Do you think I don't know that you're the one calling the shots at Prospectus Technology? "If you disagreed, no one would dare to cancel the contract with the Sumner Group." "I've helped the Sumner Group a lot these past few years. Continuing the partnership would only result in losses, so terminating it is a rational decision," Damon answered.
Clark ground his teeth and said angrily, "The controversy with Gen Pharma and the Rainford Group just passed, and now you're ending the contract with the Sumner Group. You're obviously targeting me." "You're overthinking it. I don't mix personal matters with business. I have a meeting to attend. That's all,” Damon said before hanging up.
Clark was livid. As he prepared to call back, Jordyn suddenly called.
Annoyed, he rejected the call, but she persistently called again and again, preventing him from reaching Damon.
Furious, he finally picked up. "Are you insane? I'm at work!" Jordyn seemed startled by his outburst.

"Don't worry about it," he told Jordyn. “I'll send a couple of people to protect you and find out who's been following you."
After hanging up, Clark called Michael into his office. "Send two people to protect Jordyn and investigate if someone is actually following her." "Yes, Mr. Sumner," Michael answered.
