Although Clark was holding Nyla, her displeasure was evident.
Clearly, she was unhappy with the situation. Additionally, his hand was concealed inside her coat, which seemed highly suspicious.
"What are you doing here?" Damon demanded.
His cold gaze settled on Clark as he tapped lightly on the desk, emanating an oppressive aura.
Clark leaned closer to Nyla and whispered, "Speak."
His hand, hidden behind Nyla, shifted slightly, causing her to go rigid.
At that moment, Damon finally realized what felt so off.
His eyes turned icy as he fixed his sharp gaze on Clark. It was as if it could cut through him at any moment.
"Clark, it seems you really want to join your father!" Damon threatened.
Intimidated by Damon's aura, Clark's hand on Nyla's waist trembled.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to meet Damon's eyes. "Uncle Damon, if I hadn't done this, you wouldn't have agreed to see me, right?"
"I'm giving you three seconds to let her go. Otherwise, I'll ensure you understand the meaning of regret!" Damon warned.
Instead of complying, Clark merely smirked. "Uncle Damon, the worst mistake you can make in a negotiation is acting rashly. Revealing your hand too early only puts you at a disadvantage."
"What do you want?" Damon demanded.
"You should already know what I want. Why bother asking?" Clark retorted.
Damon picked up the internal line. "Contact the individuals in charge of the contracts Clark stole. Tell them that if they agree to drop the matter, Prospectus Technology will continue to work with them and increase their profit margin by 10%."

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....
