Clark quickly pressed the call button next to Richard's hospital bed.
A nurse rushed in to check on Richard's condition and immediately ushered everyone out of the room, placing him on a breathing machine.
Outside the hospital room, Clark glared at Victor Owen. "Mr. Owen, you've come to watch the Sumner family's misfortune long enough. My grandfather has fainted because of your provocation. Can you please leave now?!"
Seeing Clark's angry glare, Victor chuckled. "I didn't come to witness the Sumner family's joke. I came to remind your grandfather not to dig his own grave while still living. It would ruin his entire life's work."
Clark scoffed. "This is the Sumner family's business. It's not your place to meddle!"
Victor shrugged, remaining unfazed. He simply shook his head and said, "You're nowhere near as capable as Damon."
With that, he left.
Clark stared at Victor's retreating figure, anger flashing in his eyes as he clenched his fists at his sides.
Everyone said he was inferior to Damon. He would prove them wrong—he was no weaker than Damon!
…
After several hours on the breathing machine, Richard finally regained consciousness.
The nurse cautioned Clark that no one should provoke Richard again, or his condition could worsen.
Clark nodded grimly. "Understood."
Before long, Cyrus and Cindy rushed in, both looking anxious.
Cyrus frowned at Clark and snapped, "Clark, do you have any idea what's going on online? People are bashing you!
"Several shareholders from the Sumner Group are even privately discussing pulling out their shares if you take over the company!"

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....
