Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off Ex (Nyla and Clark) novel Chapter 176

**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond**
**by Sage Hunter Lane**
**Chapter 176**

The weight of the evidence Nyla had uncovered felt heavier than any burden she had ever carried. If these incriminating pieces of information were ever revealed, they would undoubtedly seal the fate of both Cyrus and Clement, locking them away for the rest of their days. The thought sent a shiver down her spine, a mix of dread and determination swirling within her.

With meticulous care, Nyla set about making multiple copies of the damning files. Each one was a safeguard, a lifeline in case the Sumners decided to renege on their promises. She tucked the copies away in various secure locations, ensuring that she had a backup plan. Finally, with a sense of finality, she shut down her computer, feeling the weight of the world shift just slightly off her shoulders.

Armed with this potent evidence, she felt a surge of empowerment. It was a double-edged sword, however; regardless of the Sumners’ promises, she was resolute in her intention to eventually hand over these files to the authorities. Clement and Cyrus would not escape the repercussions of their actions—not while she still had breath in her body.

The following morning, as Nyla stepped into the office, a wave of excitement washed over her. Melody practically bounced towards her, eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. “Nyla! I can hardly believe it! You’re married to Clark Sumner, the CEO of the Sumner Group! That makes Mr. Damon Sumner of Prospectus Technology your uncle, right?”

The revelation struck Nyla like a bolt from the blue. No wonder Damon had always shown her a kindness that felt more familial than professional.

A frown creased Nyla’s brow as she processed this information. “How did you find out about this?”

This newfound connection explained the curious glances she had received from employees at Prospectus Technology when she arrived. Before her marriage to Clark, they had made an announcement, but her identity had been kept under wraps, known only to a select few.

Melody hesitated for a moment, her excitement dimming slightly. “Didn’t a gossip account post a picture yesterday claiming that Mr. Clark was having an affair with his secretary? This morning, he released a statement declaring that you’re his wife and that your relationship is solid…”

Nyla’s heart raced as she pulled out her phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she scrolled through the latest updates. Sure enough, she found Clark’s statement. It wasn’t just a simple acknowledgment; he had gone into detail about their married life, painting himself as the devoted husband who would never betray her.

The audacity of it all made her blood boil. How could he choose this moment to flaunt their marriage, merely to salvage his reputation?

Melody, noticing the dark cloud that had settled over Nyla’s expression, seemed to realize that she might have overstepped. “Nyla…” she began, her voice soft and uncertain.

Nyla inhaled deeply, forcing herself to regain composure. “Let’s redirect our focus to the experiment. I’ll be back in just a moment.”

“No, it’s not your fault. This situation is complicated. Now, let’s concentrate on the experiment,” Nyla replied, her voice steady.

Melody nodded in agreement. “Absolutely. By the way, Nyla, Mr. Hogg dropped off an invitation for you earlier this morning. I left it on your desk, so please don’t forget to check it.”

Curious, Nyla walked over to her desk and picked up the envelope.

Inside, she discovered an invitation to a pharmaceutical research symposium in Saintornia, organized by the Sumner Group and featuring numerous pharmaceutical companies. The topics discussed at the symposium were directly aligned with her current research, making her attendance not just beneficial, but essential.

Glancing at the date, she noted it was scheduled for Friday evening. With her calendar blissfully open, she turned to Melody. “Can you please clear my schedule for that evening? We need to attend this symposium together.”

Just as she was about to dive back into her work, her phone buzzed with a new message. It was from Damon, inviting her to dinner that very evening. The whirlwind of her life was only just beginning.
