Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 258

"Do you really like her?" Richard's voice was authoritative and stern, carrying the weight of his position.

"Yes," Damon answered.

Richard's eyes betrayed his irritation. "Then you'd better stop pursuing her, or the consequences will be more than the Jaystons can handle."

Nyla reporting Cyrus to the police had crossed Richard's bottom line. He couldn't allow Clark to be associated with her any longer, nor let the Sumners be embarrassed.

Damon's gaze turned icy as he met Richard's eyes. "Dad, if you go after the Jaystons, I'll go after the Sumner Group."

The Sumner Group was Richard's lifelong achievement—his pride and creation.

Richard's gaze flared with anger. "You really want to go against the Sumners for the sake of a woman?"

"Dad, it's not about going against you. It's about you interfering with my feelings," Damon replied.

"If you were with any of the women your mother introduced, we wouldn't have said a word. But you know Nyla is your nephew's wife, and you still choose to be involved with her. How can the Sumners hold their head high in the business world?" Richard demanded.

"I like her for who she is. I don't care what anyone else says," Damon said plainly.

Richard sneered. "You don't care. You have your own company now, and I can't control you. If you truly want to be with her, then consider your mother and me dead. Never set foot in this house again!"

With that, he stood up and left.

After being unconscious for over an hour, Marie gradually regained consciousness. Her gaze swept around the bedroom, and when she didn’t see Damon, disappointment flickered in her eyes.

"Where's Damon?" she asked.

Cindy frowned. She had been diligently caring for Marie, but as soon as Marie woke up, she asked for Damon without acknowledging Cindy’s presence. It was as if Cindy hadn't been there at all.

Cindy snorted. "Mom, don't bother looking. He left shortly after you fainted."
