Although Clark was smiling, Jason felt a chill run down his spine, leaving him uneasy.
After several moments of silence, he finally managed to say, “Mr. Sumner… my grandson didn’t mean it. If you let him off this time, I promise he won’t make such a foolish mistake again…”
Seeing the fear in Jason’s eyes, Clark felt no sympathy. “It seems your grandson isn’t that impressive. He’s in his 20s and still needs you to beg on his behalf.”
Realizing Clark was throwing his previous words back at him, Jason felt a surge of anger.
Still, he swallowed his frustration and said through gritted teeth, “Mr. Sumner, it was my fault for not teaching my grandson properly.”
“If you can’t even discipline your own grandson, you shouldn’t be pointing fingers at me,” Clark replied.
Jason felt utterly humiliated but forced a smile. “Of course… Regarding my grandson’s actions…”
“As long as you know what to say and what not to say in the future, your grandson will be fine,” Clark
warned.
Jason quickly said, “I understand, Mr. Sumner.”
After Jason left the office, his face darkened with rage. Clark was so arrogant that Jason swore to teach
him a lesson.
In his office, Clark called Damon. “Uncle Damon, what is this about? Are you targeting me because of what happened at the hospital?”
Damon’s cold voice replied, “The decision to terminate the contract with the Sumner Group was made by
the board of directors.”
Clark snorted. “Don’t give me that nonsense. Do you think I don’t know that you’re the one calling the shots at Prospectus Technology?
“If you disagreed, no one would dare to cancel the contract with the Sumner Group.”
“I’ve helped the Sumner Group a lot these past few years. Continuing the partnership would only result in losses, so terminating it is a rational decision,” Damon answered.
Clark ground his teeth and said angrily, “The controversy with Gen Pharma and the Rainford Group just passed, and now you’re ending the contract with the Sumner Group. You’re obviously targeting me.”
“You’re overthinking it. I don’t mix personal matters with business. I have a meeting to attend. That’s all,” Damon said before hanging up.
Clark was livid. As he prepared to call back, Jordyn suddenly called.
Annoyed, he rejected the call, but she persistently called again and again, preventing him from reaching Damon.
Furious, he finally picked up. “Are you insane? I’m at work!”
Jordyn seemed startled by his outburst.

After a moment, she cautiously said, “Clark… I didn’t want to bother you at work, but I think someone was following me when I came back from grocery shopping… I’m scared…”

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....
