Semua Bab Trading My Ex for His Uncle: Bab 61 - Bab 70

"I'm looking into it. It should be resolved in the next couple of days."A flicker of joy flashed in Lucia's eyes. "Thanks, Dad!""Don't celebrate too soon. If there's a next time, I won't intervene," Clement warned sternly."Got it. I'll go back to my room and sleep now. You should get some rest too," Lucia replied, turning to leave.Just as she turned, Clement spoke again in an ominous voice. "Lucia, you better not have overheard something you shouldn't have. Don't expect me to overlook family ties if you did."Lucia could hear the warning in Clement's tone and bit her lip. When she turned back to him, her expression was filled with confusion. "Dad, what shouldn't I have heard? I don't understand."Clement looked at her coldly. Seeing her puzzled expression, as if she truly hadn't heard anything, he suppressed his suspicions. "It's better if you don't understand. Go rest now."It wasn't until Lucia locked the door behind her when she returned to her bedroom that she realized s

Clark's expression was tense, filled with anger. He knew Cyrus could definitely follow through on his threats. After all, Cyrus had never cared about him.Finally, he called Michael, his voice cold. "Don't take any action against Clement for now."Hanging up, he glared at Cyrus. "You can leave now."Cyrus' gaze darkened. "One day, you will understand that everything I do is for your own good."Clark didn't reply. Instead, he picked up a file, pretending he hadn't heard anything.There was a flash of coldness in Cyrus' eyes at Clark's indifferent face before he turned and quickly left.Michael was already on his way to the subsidiary company when Clark's call came. Finding the situation inexplicable, he turned back. Just as he entered the office, a chill ran down his spine, as if he had stepped into an icy wasteland. "Mr. Sumner, regarding Clement—""Don't worry about it. Just spread the news that it was Lucia who filmed the video."Seeing Clark's cold expression, Michael dared

"Uncle Damon, thank you for coming to see Nyla, but you're usually busy, so there's no need for you to come in the future." Clark's tone lacked politeness, and his gaze toward Damon was filled with hostility, practically spelling out "keep your distance from Nyla".Damon looked at him calmly, showing no sign of being provoked.Clark felt frustrated and ground his teeth in anger. Damon's attitude made him feel like his punch had landed nowhere.Damon ignored Clark's remark, turned to Valarie, and said, "Ms. Weir, I have another meeting shortly. I'll take my leave now."Valarie nodded. "Alright, I'll see you out.""No need," Damon replied.As Damon turned to leave, Clark followed and intercepted him in front of the elevator, staring at him with a stern expression. "Uncle Damon, I hope you understand that Nyla is my wife and your niece-in-law, not just some random woman. I hope you don't have any inappropriate thoughts."Damon glanced at Clark, his gaze devoid of warmth. "If I were

"I won't divorce her. Even if I did, I'd never marry you. Just carry the child to term, and that's all you need to worry about. The rest isn't your concern!" With that, Clark stormed out, medical report in hand.After the door slammed shut, Jordyn wiped a tear from her eye with a smirk.Clark didn't return to the hospital that night.Nyla had sensed it long before, so she couldn't say she was disappointed.…After a few days of recuperation in the hospital, Nyla had recovered about 70-80%. Aside from occasional dizziness, she was mostly fine. The doctor said she could be discharged that afternoon."Nyla, I have something to do this afternoon. I'll send my driver to take you home," Valarie offered."No need. I don't have much stuff. I'll just take a taxi," Nyla replied.During Nyla's hospital stay, Clark hadn't visited after the initial appearance. It had been Valarie taking care of Nyla, causing Valarie to miss out on a lot, which made Nyla feel quite guilty."I'll still have

After all, before knowing that Nyla couldn't have children, Jordyn wouldn't have dared to provoke Nyla while pregnant. Clark hadn't exposed Jordyn's clumsy acting in front of Nyla just now simply because she was carrying his child. That didn't mean he was a fool.Jordyn's fingers trembled as she bit her lip, tearfully looking at him. "Clark, I didn't mean that..."Impatience flashed in Clark's eyes. "You better really didn't."Jordyn bit her lip, sounding disappointed. "Were you... using me to test Ms. Jayston just now?"Clark knew she had plotted against Nyla but hadn't exposed her. She had thought he had feelings for her, but it turned out she had deceived herself.Clark pinched Jordyn's chin, his gaze full of disdain. "You'd better straighten yourself out. I like smart women, but being too clever is just stupid."As Jordyn froze, Clark released her and walked away.Tears fell from Jordyn's eyes as she watched him leave. Subconsciously, she touched her abdomen. Although she kn
