Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off Ex (Nyla and Clark) novel Chapter 205

**TITLE: Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane 205**

**CONTENT: Chapter 205**

Nyla’s reflexes were sharp as she intercepted Cindy’s hand mid-air, halting the slap that was aimed at her with a swift motion. The tension in the air was palpable as she fixed Cindy with a piercing, icy stare that seemed to freeze time itself. Her voice, low and deliberate, carried the weight of her emotions. “I have only one father. He’s lying in a hospital bed right now, waiting for a kidney because of your husband’s deceitful schemes that led to the downfall of his company.”

Cindy felt an uncomfortable twist in her stomach, a pang of guilt slicing through her as Nyla’s cold gaze bore into her. She withdrew her hand, a flash of indignation igniting within her. “I’ve never seen anyone send their own father-in-law to the police! You need to sort this out with them right now, or I swear I won’t let you off the hook!” Her voice was sharp, tinged with desperation and anger.

Nyla had always known Cindy to be unreasonable, but the depths of her thoughtlessness caught her off guard. “Do you even grasp the gravity of what you’re saying? Kidnapping is a serious crime! And your husband even plotted to murder me. I’ve already handed over the recordings to the police. Do you think this is merely a child’s game we’re playing here?” The frustration bubbled within her, her heart racing as she spoke.

Cindy froze, momentarily rendered speechless by the weight of Nyla’s words. Just as she opened her mouth to respond, Richard, who had been observing silently, finally broke the tension. “Enough of this commotion at the police station!” His voice was authoritative, echoing off the sterile walls.

Cindy bit down hard on her lip, frustration coursing through her veins. With one last venomous glare directed at Nyla, she retreated behind Richard and Marie, seeking refuge from the confrontation.

Richard turned his intense gaze upon Nyla, his expression unreadable. “As expected of Harrison’s daughter. I misjudged you before,” he remarked, his tone laced with a mix of respect and disdain.

Nyla refused to be intimidated. A small smile crept onto her lips, a flicker of defiance in her eyes. “I should be the one saying that. I misjudged the Sumners,” she shot back, her voice steady.

The very thought of Clark marrying her after Cyrus had orchestrated the downfall of the Jaystons filled her with disgust. She couldn’t bring herself to believe that the Sumners were oblivious to Cyrus’ malicious actions against Harris Pharmaceuticals.

Richard sneered, a condescending smirk playing on his lips. “Young and impulsive. You’re bound to suffer the consequences of your naivety,” he warned, his words dripping with disdain.

With that, he turned on his heel and strode away, leaving Nyla to grapple with the storm of emotions swirling within her. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the challenges that lay ahead, knowing this was merely the beginning of a tumultuous journey.

On the way to the Sumner residence, Damon had already caught wind of Cyrus’ arrest for kidnapping Nyla. His expression remained impassive, a mask that concealed the turmoil within.

“Dad, Mom, did you know about Cyrus’ scheme to bankrupt Harris Pharmaceuticals?” Damon asked, his voice steady but probing.

Marie was taken aback by the directness of his question, her brow furrowing in confusion. “Does it really matter whether we knew or not? The most pressing issue right now is to find a way to get your brother out of this mess,” she insisted, her voice rising with urgency.

Damon, aware of his connections within the police force, contemplated the possibilities of securing Cyrus’ release. “Mom, he’s now implicated in kidnapping. The police won’t just let him go,” he stated matter-of-factly, his tone unwavering.

Marie’s disbelief was palpable as she regarded her son. “He’s your elder brother! Are you really going to stand by and watch him get arrested without lifting a finger?” she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of frustration and disappointment.

The weight of the situation hung heavily in the air, each character grappling with their own fears and hopes as they faced an uncertain future.
