An hour later, Anthony stood outside the Genge residence with a grim expression.
The butler greeted him, "Mr. Updike, Mr. Genge does not wish to see you. Please leave."
"I'll wait," Anthony replied firmly. "Until he's willing to see me."
"Mr. Updike, waiting is pointless. When Mr. Genge makes a decision, no one can change it," the butler said.
Anthony asked, "But what did I do to offend him? Why is he determined to destroy my company?"
The butler paused, then answered, "Mr. Updike, if you're looking to save your business, you'd be better off asking the Weirs for help."
With that, he closed the door. If Anthony understood the implication, he would not linger.
In less than a minute, Anthony turned and left.
…
Monica rushed to meet him outside the Weir residence.
The moment she saw him, she exclaimed, "Aren't you the one who said the company is on the verge of bankruptcy? What are you doing here at the Weirs'?"
"To ask Valarie to spare us," Anthony replied.
Monica's eyes widened in shock. "Anthony, have you lost your mind?!"
Even if the Updike Group was facing bankruptcy, Valarie would be the last person she would beg for mercy. What could Valarie offer when the Weirs were on the verge of bankruptcy too?

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
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....
