Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Oliver looked at Nyla, wanting to ask if she could truly harden her heart against Damon.

After a moment of thought, however, he held back his words. He hoped she had genuinely lost all feelings

for Damon.

It was late into the night when Nyla finally returned to the villa..

As she walked into the living room, she was surprised to see Damon still sitting on the sofa.

"Mr. Sumner, why aren't you asleep yet?" she asked.

Damon turned to her, his gaze dark and intense, almost tangible. "So you do know it's quite late, Ms. Kinsey."

Picking up the sarcasm in his tone, Nyla frowned. "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Sumner, you don't really have the right to question my personal affairs."

"I don't have that right, of course. I just hope you rememberContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

that you're a mother now. Even if you're going out with a man, you should at least consider the time.

"Buddy has been waiting for you for quite a while. He was just put to sleep half an hour ago by Lydia," Damon shot back.

The realization that Mason had waited for her so long filled Nyla with guilt. “I understand. I'll be more

mindful in the future."

Noticing Damon's cold expression and silence, Nyla changed her shoes and headed upstairs.

As the living room fell quiet again, Damon stood up to return to his study when his phone suddenly rang.

Upon answering, Luca's serious voice came through. "Mr. Sumner, someone has taken photos of Ms. Kinsey meeting with Mr. Raynor at the hotel, alo

"The photos were sent to the biggest entertainment newspaper in the city, and the reporter knows me, so he reached out. Should we suppress this ne

Damon rubbed his temples, his voice cold. “Suppress it! Also, find out who sent the photos to the newspaper."

Within half an hour, Luca traced everything back to its source.

"Mr. Sumner, the photos were taken by Ms. Hulle... and..." Luca hesitated, debating whether to reveal that

Erin had been with a male model.

His son's mother dating another

man while his fiancee sought out a male model... As Luca thought about it, he realized that Damon was actually quite pitiable.

Damon's expression hardened, his tone devoid of warmth. "And what?"

Luca gritted his teeth and finally said, "Ms. Hulle was with a male model tonight, which is how she ran into Ms. Kinsey at the hotel..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a heavy silence descended on the other end.

Luca regretted saying it. Had he just hurt Damon's pride?

After a moment, Damon's voice came through. "Have someone take a few pictures of her with that male model and send them to the newspaper."

"Mr. Sumner, won't that offend the

Hulles? Plus, your engagement with Ms. Hulle hasn't been publicly dissolved yet. This might tarnish

your reputation," Luca reminded him.

"Do as I say," Damon ordered before hanging up.

The next morning, Erin remained groggy from sleep when her phone rang. She picked it up and frowned upon seeing it was her best friend.

After spending the early hours with the male model, she was so tired she could hardly open her eyes.

Swiping to answer, she croaked, "Lucy, I'm really tired. If it's not urgent, can we talk at noon-"

Lucy Fergusson cut Erin off, her voice nearly unrecognizable with agitation, "Erin, you're trending!"

Erin froze and then sat up abruptly, her expression shifting to one of excitement. "Is Nyla exposed for coming between Damon and me?!"

"No, it's your photos with the male model that got out. They've been posted online, and there are several

pretty revealing ones. People online are calling you out!" Lucy exclaimed.
