Chapter 504
“Okay, I understand. I’ll bring over a bottle of Dad’s favorite wine tonight,” Cyrus said.
After hanging up, Cyrus turned to Clark with excitement.
“Clark, your grandfather is probably already considering my earlier suggestion about hypnotizing Damon. If the plan works out, not only will the Sumner Group be ours but Prospectus Technology will be too!” he exclaimed.
In contrast to Cyrus‘ enthusiasm, Clark remained calm. “Dad, I’m not interested in any of this.”
Ever since he received the news of Nyla’s death, Clark had been living in regret and torment for over a
month.
If he hadn’t cheated on Jordyn, he and Nyla might have still been happily married. Because of his momentary mistake, everything had unraveled.
He couldn’t forgive himself and had gradually lost interest in the company and everything else.
Without Nyla, what was the point of accumulating more wealth? The person he wanted to share that joy with was no longer there.
Seeing Clark’s lifeless expression, Cyrus frowned. “You’re not interested in the Sumner Group or Prospectus Technology? Then what are you interested in? Don’t tell me you’re planning to become like your uncle, letting a woman drive you to the brink of ruin?!”
Clark looked at Cyrus with a hint of pity. “Dad, you never really understood what love is, did you?” Whether it was Cindy or the other women Cyrus kept outside, he never invested any real emotion. He merely played along, never truly loving anyone and failing to grasp the essence of love.
Cyrus was irritated by Clark’s gloomy demeanor.
“What good is knowing about love? As long as I have money, I can get whatever kind of love I want. And what’s love really worth anyway? You were willing to go to extremes to marry Nyla, and in the end, you still cheated.
“Don’t look at me with those eyes. If you don’t want the company, I do. And remember, you’re not my only son!” Cyrus retorted.
A trace of mockery crossed Clark’s eyes. “Dad, you’re not going to outmaneuver Uncle Damon. I suggest you put away your schemes. If the plan fails, he won’t care about family ties.”
In the evening, Cyrus walked into the Sumner residence, carrying a bottle of wine.

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....
