Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Clark vowed to repay this humiliation one day.

Inside the car, Nyla could feel the tension radiating from Damon, who was clearly in a bad mood. Although he was reading through some documents, his stern profile and the cold aura around him were unmistakable.

"Mr. Sumner, I'm sorry about what happened this morning." Nyla said, breaking the silence.

Damon turned to her and frowned slightly, noticing her guilty expression. "Why are you apologizing?"Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"I didn't handle my personal matters well and ended up troubling you...

Damon's gaze darkened, and his tone betrayed his displeasure. "That's Clark's fault, not yours. Don't worry

about it."

He couldn't understand how the Sumners produced such a jerk. Not only had Clark cheated, but he also had the audacity to keep pestering Nyla.

Nyla was surprised by Damon's response. After recalling how he had previously offered to introduce her to á divorce lawyer, it made sense. It seemed that he wasn't as unreasonable as Clark had made him ou

to be.

They arrived in Rontana around 4:00p.m.

The deputy general manager of Skyray Medical, Bill Jenkinson, personally came to pick them up, demonstrating the company's sincerity in wanting to collaborate with Prospectus Technology.

Bill was in his 40s, plump, with a kind smile,

"Mr. Sumner, welcome! Our CEO had an important meeting this afternoon and couldn't make it, s

sent me to pick you up. You must be tired after the flight. I'll take you to your hotel first. This evening, our CEO will host a welcome dinner at Greenfair Hotel," Bill said.

Damon wore a relaxed smile. "Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Jenkinson."

"You're too kind, Mr. Sumner. This way to the parking lot."

On the way to the hotel, Damon introduced Nyla and Spencer to Bill.

When Bill learned that Nyla was the evaluation specialist, he looked at her with renewed interest.

"I didn't expect someone so young to be dedicated to testing. It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover," Bill commented.

Earlier, upon noticing how attractive Nyla was, Bill had assumed she was Damon's secretary and felt somewhat

disdainful. He had encountered many beautiful women accompanying business partners who were essentially mistresses posing as secretaries.

-Anyone could perform a secretary's job, but an evaluation specialist required expertise. This included recognizing all the equipment and ing effective components from the medicinal ingredients. The collaboration with Prospectus Technology relied heavily on the evaluation specialist, so Bill's gaze at

Nyla was now more respectful.

Nyla smiled graciously. "You're too kind, Mr. Jenkinson

Noticing Bill's gaze lingering on Nyla, Damon furrowed his brow imperceptibly.

Upon sensing Damon's displeasure, Spencer quickly interjected, "Mr. Jenkinson, Mr. Sumner is very interested in the cultivation of your medicinal herbs. Could you tell us more about it?" This successfully diverted Bill's attention, and he turned to discuss it with Damon.

Spencer secretly breathed a sigh of relief as the cold atmosphere seemed to lighten. His intuition had been right...

But was Damon's focus on Nyla purely because she was his niece-in-law, or was there another reason? Spencer didn't dare to delve too deeply into it.

Upon reaching the hotel, Bill escorted them to their rooms and then left.

Since there were only three of them on this trip and Nyla was the only woman, they had booked three separate rooms.

Nyla unpacked her luggage and was about to sit down when her phone rang.
