Richard’s expression was cold. “What do you know? Just do as I say! It’s her honor that she can help the Sumners one last time after her death!”
Seeing Richard’s resolute demeanor, Frank chose not to argue further and left the study.
That evening, Damon received another call from the Summer residence. This time, it was Richard himself on the line, not a maid.
“Come back immediately,” he ordered.
The commanding tone made Damon’s eyes narrow. “I’m busy. If it’s not something important, please stop calling me.”
“Very well! Fine!” Each of Richard’s words dripped with anger. “It seems your mother’s illness doesn’t matter to you! Let me ask you, are Nyla’s belongings important to you?!”
Damon tightened his grip on the phone. “Her belongings?!”
Hearing the agitation in Damon’s voice, Richard felt reassured that his decision was right. That woman would only cost Damon his life if he kept thinking about her!
With that thought, Richard’s earlier hesitation transformed into resolve. “Yes, her belongings are here. If you want them, come back for dinner. I have something to discuss with you. If you don’t want them, I’ll have the service staff burn them.”
“I’ll be there shortly,” Damon replied.
After hanging up, he immediately left the office.
On the way to the Summer residence, he couldn’t help but wonder why Richard was using Nyla’s belongings to coerce him into returning.
The morning’s call about Marie being sick and now the threat regarding Nyla’s belongings–it couldn’t just be about a simple dinner.
He called Spencer and instructed, “Check on what my father has been doing lately.”
“Understood, Mr. Sumner,” Spencer replied.
Within an hour, Damon’s car pulled up at the Sumner residence.
He reported, “Mr. Sumner, there hasn’t been much change in Mr. Richard’s behavior recently, except that he saw a doctor.”
Given the maid’s earlier call about Marie’s illness, Damon didn’t give it much thought. He asked, “Anything else?”

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....
