Chapter 108
“Vicious?” Nyla scoffed. ‘Is it not vicious when your daughter had her colleague plot against me, almost ruining my face? Or when she deliberately had someone kneel in front of me, filmed it, and posted it online to incite people to cyberbully me?
“And kidnapping me, almost getting me killed–don’t tell me that’s not vicious?”
Jade tried to retort but was momentarily stunned by Nyla’s icy gaze, forgetting what she was going to say
Seeing Nyla’s sharp–tongued response, Clement said coldly, “Nyla, your father is not well. If he finds out about your kidnapping, he’ll likely be very worried.”
Nyla shot a sharp look at Clement, her hands tightening under the covers. She was about to respond when the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
“Mr. Pollard, you’re quite bold, even daring to threaten people.”
Clement stiffened as he turned and saw Damon’s cold gaze fixed on him. He looked visibly uneasy. “Mr. Sumner, what brings you here?”
As a department manager of a Prospectus Technology subsidiary, Clement had seen Damon a few times during visits to the Prospectus Technology headquarters.
Damon’s eyes flashed with displeasure. “Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?”
Noticing Damon’s anger, Clement hurriedly lowered his head. “N–No need…”
After confirming that Nyla was fine, Damon turned his attention back to Clement. “Mr. Pollard, do you know that Nyla is part of the Sumners?”

Clement broke out in a cold s at under Damon’s intense scrutiny. “Mr.
Sumner… I…”
He gritted his teeth and turned to Nyla. “Nyla… No, Ms. Jayston… I apologize for my earlier remarks. I hope you can forgive me. As for Lucia, she did make a mistake, and we will accept whatever judgment the court deems appropriate. We won’t argue about it.”
Jade, incredulous, shouted, “Clement, what are you saying?!”
“Be quiet!” Clement shot Jade a cold glance, and she was immediately silenced by his stare.
Seeing Clement’s obsequious behavior, Nyla realized the benefits of power and influence. Clement had been threatening her just moments ago, and he was apologizing now.
“Mr. Pollard, I hope you mean what you say and that you won’t appear in front of my father again,” Nyla demanded.
“Of course, of course… Mr. Sumner, we’ll take our leave now,” he said.
Damon didn’t even glance at him, instead turning to Nyla. “How’s your recovery today?”
“Much better.”
Seeing Nyla’s face was no longer pale but had regained some color,
Damon nodded.
Clement understood that Damon was ignoring him and that the matter was essentially settled, so he quickly pulled Jade away.
Once they were alone, Nyla looked at Damon. “Uncle Damon… thank you for helping me again today.”
Damon frowned slightly, his voice taking on a more serious tone. “You used to call me ‘Mr. Sumner‘. Why the sudden switch to ‘Uncle Damon‘?

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
