Cindy immediately intervened when she learned that Nyla wanted a divorce from Clark.
"Your dad is still in the police station. If you divorce her now, it will only make it harder for her to relent later. As long as she's still your wife, we can at least mitigate the sentence with a letter of forgiveness if your dad is convicted. If you divorce her now, things will only get worse," she said.
Clark's face was grim. "She has evidence of my involvement in the kidnapping. If I don't go along with her demands, she'll turn that evidence over to the police."
Cindy frowned, anger flashing in her eyes. "That scheming woman! She really came prepared! But the more she acts like this, the more you can't divorce her right now. Otherwise, who knows what she'll do to the Sumners."
"Mom, do you still naively believe that if I delay the divorce, she'll let the Sumners off the hook?" Clark asked.
Nyla was determined to sever ties with the Sumners by sending Cyrus to jail.
After this incident, neither Richard nor Marie would ever accept her again. If Clark stayed with her, he would only disappoint them further and ruin his chances with the Sumner Group.
Cindy was furious, but with Nyla holding evidence, she felt powerless. Moreover, considering Damon's attitude, he was likely to protect Nyla.
The more she thought about it, the more she hated Nyla. She regretted ever letting Nyla into their family. Now, the Sumners were in chaos.
"Make sure she gets nothing in the divorce. She must leave with nothing!" Cindy demanded.
Clark sneered. "She hasn't worked for years and hasn't had any children. There's no way I'm giving her anything."
"Just make sure you follow through," Cindy reminded him.
The next morning…
Clark arrived precisely at 10:00 a.m., seated in a wheelchair with Jordyn pushing him from behind.
His eyes flashed with anger and hatred upon seeing Nyla. The thought of her having Cyrus arrested and now demanding a divorce made him want to strangle her and confront her ruthlessness.
In stark contrast to his agitation, Nyla remained remarkably calm. She harbored no lingering feelings for Clark and was determined to sever ties as swiftly as possible.
She handed him the prepared divorce agreement. "Sign this, and then we can proceed with the paperwork."
Clark flipped through a few pages, noting their familiarity. The agreement was identical to the one she had presented when she first discovered his infidelity.

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....
