After ensuring everything was settled, Parker left.
Nyla glanced at Brandon, who had remained silent since the start of the altercation.
Guessing he probably had something to discuss with Damon, she decided it was best to give them some privacy and took Mason out of the room.
Once the door closed, Brandon finally spoke to Damon. "Uncle Damon, when did you find out that you're not a Sumner?"
"A short while ago," Damon answered indifferently. "But don't worry. I have no intention of competing with you for control of the Sumner Group."
He had never been interested in running the company and had been grooming Brandon to take the reins for years. Now that Brandon was capable, he was ready to step back.
Brandon frowned and replied, "You know that's not what I meant. If you wanted the company, I'd hand it over to you in a heartbeat. After all, we both know the company has a better future with you in charge than with me. It's just… hard for me to accept that you're not really my uncle."
Damon was silent for a moment before saying, "You can still consider me your uncle. If the company ever faces any problems, you can always come to me."
Hearing this, Brandon finally relaxed. "Good. No matter our blood ties, you will always be my uncle."
After his parents died in a car accident, he was the only one left. Cyrus and Clark had tried to push him out, but Damon had been the one who had sent him abroad for an education, teaching him how to manage a company.
Without Damon, he might never have had a chance to join the organization.
After becoming the CEO of the Sumner Group, Damon had sent people to assist Brandon, guiding him every step of the way to where he was now.
Damon was the person he was most grateful for within the Sumners. Despite their close ages, Damon's presence always brought him peace of mind.
"Don't overthink it. Just focus on managing the company. Now that you own this 20% share, your position in the company is secure," Damon assured him.
Brandon nodded. "I will do my best."

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....
