Chapter 156
Cyrus shook his head and remarked, “With a temper like yours, I wonder what kind of woman could ever put up with you.”
Damon did not respond, concentrating on picking up the chess pieces.
“Come on, let’s eat.”
At the dining table, Cyrus chatted with Damon almost excessively.
Nyla ate a small amount, then set down her cutlery and said, “I’m done. You all take your time.”
As soon as she spoke, everyone at the table looked at her.
Cindy frowned, clearly displeased, but remained silent.
Clark turned to Nyla, his voice gentle as he asked, “Is the food not to your liking tonight?”
Nyla shook her head. “No, I’m really full. I remember leaving some. clothes in your room last time I was here. I’m going to see if I can find.
that dress I liked.”
Clark nodded. “Alright.”
Cindy initially considered suggesting that a maid look for the dress but then reconsidered. If Nyla wanted to find it herself, it would save the
service staff the trouble.
Once inside Clark’s bedroom, Nyla locked the door behind her and quickly moved to the balcony. After ensuring no one was around, she carefully climbed over to Cyrus‘ study.
Inside the study, she scanned the room, starting with Cyrus‘ desk, which was cluttered with company documents. She checked the drawers but found nothing useful. It seemed she uld need to look elsewhere.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard footsteps and voices approaching the study. Her face paled. It was too late to escape, so she quickly hid behind the curtain.
The study door opened, and Cyrus‘ voice grew louder as he entered. Damon, you know I never ask for help, no matter how tough things get. But the company is really in trouble this time. If you help me through this, I’ll repay you with interest.”
Had it not been for the company’s dire straits and Richard’s refusal to assist, Cyrus would not have approached Damon.
Damon remained indifferent. Just as he was about to speak, he glanced toward the curtain. Without showing any reaction, he turned back to Cyrus, who was about to sit in the chair facing the curtain. “Cyrus, sit
over there.”
Cyrus looked puzzled. “Why?”
“I prefer this spot,” Damon deadpanned.
Cyrus sighed and moved to the opposite chair. He then looked at Damon. “About the funding… What do you think?”
Damon’s expression remained cold. “I need to think about it. It’s not at
small amount.”
“I know, but Prospectus Technology is a big company, and 150 million. dollars shouldn’t be too much of a strain,” Cyrus insisted.
Damon did not respond, his face devoid of emotion.
Sensing Damon’s displeasure, Cyrus sighed. “Damon, you know my character. I wouldn’t come to you unless I had no other choice.”
Damon’s expression remained distant Inderstood. I’ll consider it.”
They discussed business for a while longer before leaving the study.

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....
