Clark sensed there was more to Cindy’s words. He was about to inquire further when a maid assisted the semi–drunk Cyrus Sumner into the living room.
Clark frowned upon seeing Cyrus and simply said, “Mom, I’m heading back now.”
With that, he turned and walked past Cyrus to leave.
Cyrus frowned but said nothing.
Back at the villa, Clark called his secretary, Michael Parkin, instructing him to purchase a mansion in Jordyn’s name.
Michael sounded surprised. “Mr. Sumner, if Mrs. Sumner finds out…”
“Be discreet. Don’t let anyone know, especially Nyla.”
If Nyla found out Jordyn was keeping the baby, she would be more determined to divorce him. Thinking about it made Clark feel troubled.
“Alright, I understand.”
Ending the call, Michael sighed softly..
This was no different from pushing Nyla away. Clark’s affair was already unforgivable–now, keeping a woman outside was like digging their marriage’s grave.
Michael knew he was just a secretary and had to do as Clark ordered.
Over the next few days, Lucia took leave and did not come to work.
Nyla officially entered the lab to start developing drugs. She thought life would continue quietly, but Cindy came to her on Friday night.
They met at a restaurant near Nyla’s company.
Just as they sat down, Cindy said, “I heard you moved out because Clark has another woman outside.”
Nyla paused flipping through the menu and looked up at Cindy.
Seeing Cindy’s displeasure, Nyla closed the menu and said calmly, “It seems like in your eyes, this is just a trivial matter.”
“Of course. If Clark didn’t like you, do you think you could marry into the Sumners with your background? As the wife of the future decision–maker of the Sumner Group, you’ll only hold Clark back if you can’t even tolerate this.”
When Nyla and Clark were fine, she wouldn’t argue with Cindy, even if the latter said things she didn’t like, out of respect for Cindy being Clark’s mother. But she didn’t intend to endure it anymore.

“It seems you must have had a lot of experience when you were young, given your tolerance.”
It was said that when Cyrus was young, he had many admirers, and his womanizer reputation spread throughout the upper class in Saintornia. Because of this reputation, Richard removed him from the candidate list of successors to the Sumner Group and began to train Clark.

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....
