Cindy's lips quivered as she opened her mouth, but she couldn't utter a single word.
She hadn't expected Damon to install surveillance cameras in the Sumner residence's living room. Even if she had known, her hatred for him might have driven her to blurt it out intentionally.
"Damon, everything that's gone wrong is my and Cyrus' fault. We didn't raise Clark properly. If you want revenge, come after us. Please, spare Clark!" Cindy begged.
Damon showed no reaction to her pleas, merely saying, "I need to rest. Leave the room within a minute."
Cindy and Cyrus froze. They exchanged glances, realizing this was their only chance to save Clark.
Cyrus struggled to stand up and addressed Damon, "I have over a million dollars left. I'll give you all of it. I'll persuade Dad to hand over the Sumner Group to you, as long as you let Clark go."
Damon remained indifferent, a hint of impatience flickering in his eyes. "Do you really think you have the right to negotiate with me? Those things mean nothing to me. I won't spare Clark."
Seeing his icy demeanor, Cyrus and Cindy finally understood that no matter how much they begged, it would be in vain.
"Damon, even though you're not a Sumner, I've always considered you my brother all these years. You'll regret treating us this way one day!" Cyrus snapped.
Disgust flashed in Damon's eyes as he pressed the call button, summoning his subordinates to throw them out.
As the hospital room door opened and closed, Cyrus and Cindy's shouts faded away.
Damon's expression settled back to calm. To him, family ties were merely tools for binding interests.
…
Once they were thrown out of the hospital, Cindy despaired. "Cyrus, what are we going to do now? If we lose Clark, I can't go on living…"

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....
