The scene quickly descended into chaos.
Nyla immediately pulled Mason behind her, ensuring that Cyrus and Anne wouldn't accidentally harm him.
Damon stepped closer to her, speaking in a low voice. "You and Buddy stand behind me."
"Okay," Nyla replied.
Brandon watched Anne and Cyrus fight with a look of disappointment.
They were family, yet they were squabbling over money. To think that Cyrus would kill his own father for it—it was despicable.
Parker, who had been stunned into silence, now looked at the scene with disbelief. He frowned, wondering if he knew too much now.
He was only there to read a will, yet he had just discovered that Damon wasn't even a Sumner and that Richard had been killed by his own son, Cyrus...
The hospital room door opened, and two police officers walked in. They were momentarily taken aback by the chaotic scene but quickly stepped forward to separate Cyrus and Anne.
Once Cyrus and Anne had calmed down, one of the officers turned to Cyrus and said, "Mr. Cyrus Sumner, you are under suspicion of murder. Please come with us."
Fear flashed in Cyrus' eyes as he instinctively took a step back. His face, scratched and bleeding from the fight with Anne, looked eerily frightening as it twisted with panic.
"No… No, that's impossible. I didn't do anything! I'm not going with you…" he stuttered.
The officer's expression hardened as he said, "Mr. Cyrus Sumner, we have evidence. If you refuse to cooperate, we will have to take you in by force."
It was as if Cyrus didn't hear them. He turned and tried to run out of the room, but one of the officers quickly tackled him to the floor and cuffed him.
"No! This is illegal! I didn't do anything! Mr. Frampton, you're the Sumners' lawyer—say something!" Cyrus cried.
Parker remained impassive. "Mr. Cyrus, my contract with the Sumners ends once I've executed this will. You'll need to hire someone else."

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....
