Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 354

Seeing Clark's pleading look, Nyla wondered how he had the nerve to seek her out. And to ask her to help for the sake of the love they once shared?

If she could go back in time, she would have thrown the flowers right back at him and told him to get lost when he confessed his feelings.

"I can't help you. You caused this, and you should face the consequences," she said.

She brushed past him and headed for the elevator.

Nyla had barely taken two steps when he grabbed her hand.

Clark's eyes were bloodshot, and his once-handsome face was contorted with rage, making him look somewhat terrifying.

"Nyla, are you really this heartless? When we divorced, you took over 700,000 dollars from me, and now you won't even ask Damon for help? I'll ask you one more time: Are you going to help me or not?!" Clark's eyes were wide with resentment, and his breathing was ragged.

Nyla's heart sank.

Clark was clearly agitated. Who knew what he might do if she refused?

"Fine… I'll talk to him for you. Just calm down…" she coaxed.

Clark hesitated, skeptical. "Really?"

Nyla nodded, trying to keep him calm.

"Really, I'll go see him right now," she said.

Clark seemed to relax a little, but then he remembered how she had tricked him before, and his anger flared up again. "You're lying! You've lied to me before!"

Seeing the dangerous look in his eyes, Nyla involuntarily trembled.

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can come with me," she said.

Clark smirked. "Yeah, I think I should go with you."

Nyla thought she had him calmed down. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she felt the cold edge of a knife against her waist.

It was chilly that morning, so she had thrown on a coat before leaving. Now, with Clark holding the knife against her waist, it looked as though he was simply putting his arm around her.
