Charlotte stared in disbelief, her wide eyes filled with fear and guilt. Her face turned ashen.
"Uncle Damon..." she called out.
"Don't call me uncle," Damon replied icily. "I don't have a niece who betrays her own family. Since you've chosen to side with Drake, you've also chosen to stand against me and Prospectus Technology. From now on, we're business rivals, and I won't show you any mercy."
His piercing gaze felt like the chill of a winter wind. "But since we once shared a bond, let me offer you some advice—stay far away from Drake. Otherwise, you won't even know how your end comes."
With that, Damon brushed past her and left.
Charlotte stood frozen, watching his figure disappear, too shaken to pursue him further.
…
Back in Damon's office, Spencer entered after a knock. "Mr. Sumner, Mr. Guinness from the Watson Group is here to see you."
"I'm not seeing him. Tell him the Watson Group's issues have nothing to do with me," Damon replied.
"Understood," Spencer answered.
In the evening, Damon had just reached the parking garage when someone suddenly stepped in front of his car, blocking his way.
Upon seeing that it was Percy Guinness, Damon's expression darkened. "Mr. Guinness, what are you doing here?"
Percy looked haggard. "Mr. Sumner, the Watson Group is in serious trouble. We need your help. If you help me out this time, I swear I'll follow your lead and never waver again."
Clearly desperate, Percy's tone pleaded for mercy.
Damon's voice remained cold. "If I recall, not long ago, my secretary reached out to buy some products from your company at a high price. You flatly refused.
"Prospectus Technology's production line has since been halted, costing us millions every day. Even if I wanted to help you now, there's nothing I can do. You should look elsewhere."
Without waiting for a response, he walked around Percy and kept going.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
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....
