Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 356

Clark shook his head. "How could that be? I just hope you understand that someone with nothing can be fearless."

He turned and left after speaking.

Back in the car, Clark shook his sleeve, and a knife fell out, its blade glinting coldly.

He picked it up and sneered. If Damon hadn't agreed earlier, this knife would have been pressed against Nyla's neck.

Only Nyla and Damon remained in the office.

The room fell into silence, with neither of them speaking.

Nyla took a deep breath and looked at Damon. "Mr. Sumner, I'm really sorry about this morning. I didn't expect him to show up and use me to threaten you."

Damon frowned. "You don't need to apologize for what Clark did."
