Nyla intercepted Cindy's hand in mid-air, preventing the slap. She fixed Cindy with an icy stare and spoke slowly. "I have only one father. He's in the hospital now, waiting for a kidney because of your husband's scheming, which led to his company's bankruptcy."
Cindy felt a pang of guilt under Nyla's cold gaze. She pulled her hand away and snapped, "I've never seen anyone send their own father-in-law to the police! You'd better clear things up with them right now, or I won't let you off the hook!"
Nyla had always known Cindy was unreasonable, but she hadn't expected her to be this thoughtless. "Do you realize kidnapping is a crime? And he even planned to kill me. I've already given the police the recordings. Do you think this is just a child's game?"
Cindy froze. Before she could respond, Richard, who had been silent, spoke up. "Enough of this commotion at the police station!"
Cindy bit her lip in frustration. With a final venomous glance at Nyla, she retreated to stand behind Richard and Marie.
Richard turned his penetrating gaze on Nyla. "As expected of Harrison's daughter. I misjudged you before."
Nyla wasn't intimidated. She smiled. "I should be the one saying that. I misjudged the Sumners."
She was disgusted by the fact that she had married Clark after Cyrus caused the downfall of the Jaystons. She refused to believe the Sumners were unaware of Cyrus' actions against Harris Pharmaceuticals.
Richard sneered. "Young and impulsive. You're bound to suffer the consequences."
With that, he turned and left.
Nyla took a deep breath, knowing this was just the beginning and more challenges were ahead.
…
After leaving the police station, Richard immediately instructed his lawyer to discuss how to bail Cyrus out.

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....
