Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Damon's warm breath brushed against Nyla's earlobe, sending a tingling sensation through her.

She pushed him away. "I can sleep just fine. I'm tired now, so stay away from me."

"Really?" Damon asked.

"Of course. Don't come any closer, it's hot," Nyla complained.

Damon chuckled. "Weren't you complaining about the cold last night? And now you're saying it's hot? Looks like you're just done once you're done with me."

Nyla was speechless. The reason she felt cold last night was that they had forgotten to close the window.

As she remained silent, Damon leaned in closer. "Nyla, it's been a few days since we—"

"Not interested tonight," she cut him off.

Damon fell silent.

"Alright, go to sleep," Nyla urged.

Damon sighed and lay back down quietly.

As soon as Damon arrived at the office the next morning, Spencer knocked and entered with a file.

"Mr. Sumner, here's the report for the two samples you asked for earlier," Spencer said.

Damon took the report and opened it. It confirmed that Nyla and Harrison indeed shared a biological connection, ruling out any involvement between the Jaystons and Drake.

"Mr. Sumner, Mr. Genge has arranged a meeting with the Sumner Group's biggest client this morning. He's probably planning to make a move against us," Spencer instructed.

Damon raised an eyebrow. "Trying to steal our major client isn't easy. He must have another agenda."

Spencer looked confused. "What other agenda?"

"Don't worry about it. Just focus on monitoring whether he's contacting anyone abroad. If he is, let me know immediately," Damon instructed. "Understood, Mr. Sumner," Spencer replied.noveldrama

After Spencer left, Damon dialed Brandon's number.

"Did you hear about Tom meeting with the Sumner Group's biggest client today?" he asked.

"I heard. I'm on my way there now," Brandon replied, his voice serious and tone unpleasant.

"Do

you

think he can steal the Sumner Group's client?" Damon asked.

There was a pause before Brandon replied, "He probably can't."

"Then why are you on your way?" Damon pressed.

"I'm just being cautious," Brandon answered.

Damon frowned. "What you should be doing now is figuring out why he wants to meet with the Sumner Group's major client."

"He wants to steal the client from us," Brandon replied.

"I heard you had a fight with him at the bar last night?" Damon asked.

"Yeah, Uncle Damon, do you think he isn't trying to steal the business but is just trying to send me a warning?" Brandon asked.

Damon lightly tapped his fingers on the table. "What do you think?"

"I think he's trying to create the illusion that he's after our business, making me waste time keeping the client. But his real target is... Valarie," Brandon analyzed.

"Think about it. I need to work now," Damon said, hanging up.

If Brandon couldn't even see through such a simple plan, he would still have a lot to learn. This was a good opportunity for him to be tested, especially now that Tom had returned.

Damon made a decision with that thought in mind.

At noon, when Nyla came up to join him for lunch, Damon casually brought up the topic of Valarie and Brandon. "Do you think Valarie and Brandon are really suited for each other?"

Nyla paused while picking up her food, then looked up at him. "Why are you bringing them up all of a sudden?"

"I was thinking about last night's

situation. I think a more mature man would be better for Valarie. Brandon is still too young. If she doesn't. mind, can introduce her to

someone else," Damon sugges

Hearing this, Nyla couldn't help but laugh. "You want to introduce a boyfriend to Valarie? Are you sure about that?"
