“I’m looking into it. It should be resolved in the next couple of days.”
A flicker of joy flashed in Lucia’s eyes. “Thanks, Dad!”
“Don’t celebrate too soon. If there’s a next time, I won’t intervene,” Clement warned sternly.
“Got it. I’ll go back to my room and sleep now. You should get some rest too,” Lucia replied, turning to leave.
Just as she turned, Clement spoke again in an ominous voice. “Lucia, you better not have overheard something you shouldn’t have. Don’t expect me to overlook family ties if you did.”
Lucia could hear the warning in Clement’s tone and bit her lip. When she turned back to him, her expression was filled with confusion. “Dad, what shouldn’t I have heard? I don’t understand.”
Clement looked at her coldly. Seeing her puzzled expression, as if she truly hadn’t heard anything, he suppressed his suspicions. “It’s better if you don’t understand. Go rest now.”
It wasn’t until Lucia locked the door behind her when she returned to her bedroom that she realized she was drenched in cold sweat. She had sensed Clement’s hostility earlier–it was the first time he had ever looked at her with such icy eyes. But it only confirmed her suspicions that whatever Clement had mentioned was definitely related to the Harris Pharmaceuticals incident years ago.
Despite that, she dared not investigate further. If Clement found out, she couldn’t bear the consequences. Taking a deep breath, she decided to bury this matter deep inside her heart–she wouldn’t utter a word about it.
Clark had waited for over an hour, but Nyla still hadn’t called him. Growing impatient, he called Michael. Has Nyla contacted you to help remove the video?”
There was a moment of silence before Michael responded. “Mr. Sumner, half an hour ago, Mrs. Sumner turned the tide with a recording of her conversation with Kenneth. She probably… doesn’t need our help anymore…
Thinking about how Clark had said he would wait for Nyla to come to him for help, Michael wondered if Clark felt mocked. Nonetheless, he wouldn’t dare tell Clark this.
Clark questioned, “Why didn’t you report this to me?”
Your full attendance bonus this month is docked. It’ll be a week’s salary if there’s a next time.” With that, Clark hung up.
Thinking about how Nyla would rather solve things herself than call him for help, Clark felt a surge of frustration and immediately called her.
The phone rang for a long time before Nyla answered. Before he could say anything, her irritated voice
She had finally fallen asleep only to be woken up by Clark’s call, leaving her in a foul mood.

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....
