Chapter 140
Clark was indignant as Damon scolded him, his hands clenched at his sides. Anger flashed in his eyes.
“Uncle Damon, Nyla is my wife. How I handle things is none of your business!” he snapped.
Damon sneered. “At least Tom knew to protect Jacqueline. You, on the other hand, are both unfaithful and cowardly. I don’t know how the Sumners ended up with someone as useless as you.”
Clark gritted his teeth and said coldly, “At least I’m not coveting someone else’s wife.”
“Do you believe I can have you two divorced by tomorrow?” Damon threatened.
He had only held back out of respect for Nyla, waiting until she was ready to make her own decision.
Clark’s face twisted with resentment. He knew Damon had the power to do just that. Even if Damon took Nyla away from him right now, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. As the CEO of the Sumner Group without any shares, he was no match for Damon.
“Uncle Damon, don’t push it too far!”
He had endured a lot, but Damon’s blatant support for Nyla and interference tonight made him worry that Damon might do something even more outrageous next time.
“If you don’t want me to go too far, treat your wife better. If you think you can sacrifice her to please others, maybe I should consider taking over the Sumner Group,” Damon warned.
Panic and rage surged within Clark. This was a clear warning and threat from Damon.

How dare he? Damon was the one coveting Nyla, yet Clark couldn’t say anything and had to endure his threats!
Despite his anger, Clark knew that defying Damon would only lead to his own downfall. He needed to gain control of Richard’s shares and become the real decision–maker in the Sumner Group to stop being at Damon’s mercy.
Taking a deep breath, he said, “Nyla is my wife. I will treat her well. Uncle Damon, you should just mind your own business!”
With that, Clark stormed off.
Damon watched him leave coldly, then turned and walked toward the door. He had come tonight to finalize a deal with Lincoln. Now that it was done, there was no reason to stay.
Just as he left the banquet hall, Nyla stopped him. “Uncle Damon, thank you for tonight.”
Without Damon’s intervention, Clark would have pressured her into letting Jacqueline off the hook. She was genuinely grateful.
Damon looked at her with indifference. “No need. I only helped because you’re part of the Sumners.”
With that, he walked past her and left.
Feeling his cold attitude, Nyla lowered her gaze to hide her fleeting disappointment.
Returning to the banquet hall, she found a random seat at the back, not bothering to look for Clark.

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....
