Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 276

"No, I'm not," Damon replied.

Nyla raised an eyebrow. His tone was so stiff, and yet he claimed he wasn't angry?

"Then why are you upset? Because I talked to Clark?" she asked.

Damon's gaze darkened. "I'm not that childish."

"Then what are you angry about?" Nyla pressed.

Aside from exchanging a few words with Clark, she couldn't think of anything she had done that might have upset Damon. Besides, she and Clark were divorced now, and the conversation had happened right in front of Damon.

What was there to be angry about?

After a few seconds of silence, Damon spoke in a low voice. "Was the heart medication patent he presented back then something you gave him?"

Nyla paused for a moment before nodding. "Yes. He had just started working at the Sumner Group at the time, and the shareholders didn't respect him. We were married then, and I knew that if he succeeded, it would benefit me too. So, I gave it to him."

Damon smiled, but his tone was sarcastic. "You really did treat him well."

Back then, Clark had used that patent to snatch away several major partnerships from Prospectus Technology and had even undermined the company in the process.

If Clark hadn't been Damon's nephew and if the Sumner Group hadn't been a family business, Damon wouldn't have let him off so easily.

He hadn't realized that the heart medication patent was actually Nyla's work!

He knew he shouldn't let the past affect their current relationship, but the thought of how deeply she had once loved Clark made him feel uneasy.

Nyla couldn't help but laugh. "Are you jealous, Mr. Sumner?"

"No," Damon answered.

"Really?" Nyla asked again.

"Of course. I'm not that childish!" Damon exclaimed.

Nyla held back her laughter and nodded. "Okay, okay, you're not childish. I'm the one being childish. If you're not jealous, then we won't talk about it anymore."
