Clark believed he was in control of the marriage. So, when he discovered that Nyla had handled the incident on her own without asking for his help, he angrily called to question her.
If it had been the Clark from eight years ago, he wouldn’t have waited for her to surrender–he would have protected her at all costs. The 28–year–old Clark was no longer the same as his 20–year–old self.
Nyla lowered her gaze, her eyes involuntarily reddening
The silence on both ends of the line was deafening, with only their breaths audible. After over a minute of this, Clark still hadn’t spoken.
Not willing to wait any longer, Nyla ended the call. She rubbed her tear–stained eyes and couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.
She felt useless. Despite vowing not to let him affect her anymore, she still felt hurt. Clark had occupied eight years of her life. Perhaps she needed another eight years to slowly move on.
In the living room of the villa, Clark didn’t have the courage to call back after Nyla hung up. When she accused him of wanting to win rather than caring for her, it felt like a punch to his heart, rendering him speechless.
He couldn’t understand why things had come to this between them. He should have felt compassion for her, but instead, he wanted to use this situation to make her submit, to become like the gentle and compliant Jordyn. Maybe Nyla hadn’t changed at all. Maybe it was him who had changed.
At that thought, he messaged Michael, instructing him to investigate the video incident thoroughly.
Michael worked quickly and had everything figured out by the next morning.
“Mr. Sumner, it was Mrs. Sumner’s colleague, Lucia Pollard. She’s likely also involved in the lab explosion incident.”
Clark’s expression turned icy. “Then teach her a lesson
“I looked into it. Lucia’s father, Clement Pollard, used to be the purchasing manager at Harris Pharmaceuticals. After Harris Pharmaceuticals went bankrupt, he joined a subsidiary of the Sumner Group and is now an executive there.”
Clark sneered. Then let’s start with Clement.”

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....
