Upon hearing this, Nyla's heart lurched, and her face turned pale.
Mason had actually jumped out of a third-floor window!
Nyla couldn't imagine how desperate he must have felt to do that. The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached, and tears streamed down her face without her even realizing it.
The person on the other end of the line noticed the silence and became alert. "Why aren't you talking?! You're not Clark?!"
Nyla bit her lip hard, not daring to speak, and hung up. She rushed to the bathroom, filled a basin with water, and splashed it on Clark's head.
He woke up soon, realizing he was tied up, and saw Nyla looking down at him.
He paused for a moment before breaking into a smile. "Nyla, I didn't expect you to be so much smarter after five years apart."
Nyla glared at him. "I don't have time for your nonsense. Where did you lock up Buddy?"
Clark sneered. "You want to know? Go find him yourself. Saintornia isn't that big. If you search for ten days or half a month, maybe you'll get lucky and find him."
Seeing that Clark wasn't going to talk, Nyla wasn't surprised. "You kidnapped Buddy to use him to threaten Damon for money, right? Do you really think you have a chance to leave the country now? If you tell me where Buddy is right now, I can write a forgiveness letter for your lawyer."
Clark smiled, his expression smug. "Nyla, do you think I'm an idiot? I can't leave here anyway, so why not take someone down with me? If Buddy dies, you and Damon will never be together, right?"
Watching the smile on Clark's face, Nyla slapped him hard.

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....
