Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 945

After leaving the Genge residence, Karter dialed Damon's number.

"Mr. Sumner, Tom has been stringing me along. It seems like he's not planning to go after the Sumner Group in the short term," Karter reported.

Damon's tone was indifferent as he replied, "Got it. Just keep in touch with him for now—apply some pressure."

"Got it. But what about my 'mistress'? If I keep seeing her so often, my wife is bound to find out. Even if I had a hundred mouths, I couldn't explain it," Karter said hesitantly.

After a brief silence, Damon said, "You've been wanting to land the Zigler Group's project, right? Tomorrow, I'll arrange a meeting with Mr. Zigler. Whether you get the project or not depends on you."

Upon hearing this, Karter instantly felt lighter. His back stopped aching, his legs no longer hurt, and he set aside his worries about his wife finding out.

After all, he'd had plenty of mistresses in the past—what difference would one more make?

"Thanks, Mr. Sumner! You're a true lifesaver!" he chirped.

Damon hung up without another word.

Karter didn't care. As long as he could benefit from Damon, that was all that mattered.

In Charlotte's living room…

Brandon sat across from her with an icy expression.

"Charlotte, you've really lost your mind. Do you know Tom is targeting the Sumner Group and Prospectus Technology right now? And here you are, in cahoots with him. Uncle Damon won't let you off the hook for this," he said sharply.

Charlotte sneered. "I'm doing this because Uncle Damon forced me into it. If he had helped me, I wouldn't need to cooperate with the Genge Group. He doesn't want to help, but should I let my company go under just for the sake of family?"
