Chapter 20
“Send me the surveillance footage.”
After the call ended, the maid quickly sent the video.
As Clark watched Nyla jump from the second floor, disheveled, into Damon’s car, his expression grew darker. When he drove past earlier, Damon didn’t even call out to him.
Damon never meddled in others‘ business–why was he helping Nyla?
The thought of Nyla being seen in such a state by another man ignited Clark’s fury. He didn’t need to guess. She had likely returned to her rented apartment.
Cindy, having seen the footage too, gritted her teeth. “I told you she’s not good enough for you. Look at what she’s wearing! She’s brought shame to the Summers!”
Clark’s expression was one of frustration as he glared at Cindy. “Mom, this is my fault. You judge Nyla without even knowing the whole story. Isn’t that unfair?
“What do you mean? I’m standing up for you, and you’re defending her? I’m your mother! Don’t you want what’s best for you?”

Seeing Cindy’s pained expression, Clark felt a wave of irritation. “This is between Nyla and me. You don’t need to help me. Just stop belittling my wife in front of me.”
Without waiting for her response, he turned and left quickly. He didn’t go back to the villa but headed to Nyla’s apartment.
Nyla had ordered takeout and was in the shower back at her apartment. Just as she finished drying her hair, she got a call from Wren.
“Wren, what’s up?”
Wren’s gentle voice came through. “Nyla, I just wanted to ask if you’ve started working recently.”
Nyla hadn’t planned to hide this from them, and with Lucia’s hospital visit, it wouldn’t stay a secret for long, “Yes, I have.”
There was a long silence on the other end before Wren spoke again. “Are you and Clark fighting?”

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....
