Clark’s nonchalant words made Lucia feel like she had fallen into an icy abyss. She knew all too well that he had the power to follow through, and the Pollards lacked the means to resist.
She raised her hand and slapped herself hard across the face.
“Keep going.”
At first, Lucia felt the sting on her face, but after a while, her cheeks went numb, and she was simply repeating the action mechanically. She didn’t know how long it had been or how many slaps she had dealt herself.
Just as Lucia felt she might pass out, Clark finally got up and walked over to her. He looked down at her as if she were an insignificant insect. “Ms. Pollard, I hope you remember this lesson. Avoid my wife in the future. Next time, I won’t be so lenient.”
With that, he walked past her without waiting for a reaction, followed by his bodyguards who had been there to prevent her escape.
The room was soon empty except for Lucia.
Her tightly wound emotions finally unraveled, and she covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably. She had never suffered such humiliation in her life.
“Nyla! I swear I won’t let you off so easily!” Lucia thought resentfully.
When Lucia got home and saw her swollen face in the mirror, her hatred for Nyla intensified. It had to be Nyla who complained to Clark, which was why he came to find fault with her tonight.
The thought filled Lucia with anger and jealousy. The Jaystons had gone bankrupt and were now beneath the Pollards. So why did Nyla get to marry Clark while she couldn’t even secure a wealthy heir as her
husband?
She resolved to find a man of higher status than Clark and crush Nyla under her feet!
As Clark exited the bar, he received a call from his subordinate. Whatever was said made his expression darken considerably, and he hung up before driving straight to Cindy’s place.

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....
