Stefan let out a cold laugh. "Cover the expenses? Or use my mom as leverage to control me? You already know the answer."
Michelle chuckled. "If you don't appreciate my kindness, fine. Transfer her wherever you want. But don't expect a single cent from the Snowdens."
"Oh, you'll pay," Stefan said.
"What?" Michelle frowned, about to speak, when she suddenly felt a blade press against her neck.
Her expression shifted instantly. "Stefan, are you insane? One phone call, and your mom will be dead in minutes!"
Stefan nodded and smiled. "I believe you. But I just realized something... The Snowdens only have one successor—you. If you die, who do you think will inherit everything?"
"You're dreaming! If you dare lay a hand on me, my dad will make sure you suffer!" Michelle shouted.
"That's not your concern," Stefan said.
Upon seeing the cold intent in his eyes, a wave of fear finally surged through Michelle.
She forced herself to stay calm and locked eyes with him. "What do you want? Your mom's medical bills? Something else?"
Stefan shook his head. "No, none of that matters anymore. My mom's been in a vegetative state for years. Whether she lives or dies doesn't make a difference. You know what I kept thinking about on my way here?"
"W-What?" Michelle stammered.
"I was thinking about how, ever since I can remember, you've treated me like a servant—like a dog to be ordered around and bullied. No matter how much I tried to stay out of your way, you wouldn't let me go. Again and again, you used my mom to manipulate me. Why?" Stefan asked.
As he spoke, the knife pressed harder against Michelle's skin, leaving a thin, bleeding cut.

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....
