Trading My Ex for His Uncle



"What should I do next?" Luca inquired.

"Head back to the office," Damon ordered.

As soon as Damon arrived at the office, he instructed Luca to notify the shareholders and department managers to convene a meeting.

After learning that all his projects had slowed down during his time in Capitarnia, Damon was furious.

Everyone in the room trembled in fear, too scared to speak up.

Damon slammed the documents on the table and spoke without expression. "I'm giving you one week to get everything back on track. No mistakes. O

The conference room, filled with dozens of people, fell into a tense silence. Not even a breath could be heard, as no

one dared to attract Damon's attention.

Suddenly, a phone rang.

Damon frowned and glanced at his phone. After a moment of hesitation, he answered.

"Is there something you need?" he asked.

"Damon, I'm in Saintornia now. Where is Buddy?" Nyla asked.

Damon raised an eyebrow, surprised that she had come to Saintornia.

"I already told you, he's in a very safe place. As for where that is, I can't disclose it," he replied.

"Buddy needs me. He's only five years old! Suddenly being taken away from everything familiar and everyone he knows will scare him. Is it really necessary to be so despicable just to grab custody?!" Nyla

demanded.

Damon couldn't help but laugh in anger. She had let someone take her child away while she was supposed to be caring for him, and now she had the nerve to question him?

"It's normal for him to feel unfamiliar. He'll get used to it over time. It's definitely better than staying with you. You can't even protect your own child. Sh "You're the one who used despicable means to come to my home and take Buddy away. What right do you have to criticize me? You should be the on

"Say whatever you want. I'm not letting you see Buddy again," Damon said, hanging up.

As he set his phone down, the

people who had been cautiously glancing at him quickly averted their eyes, fearing he would catch them staring.

Damon glanced around the room and said icily, "Remember what I said. Meeting adjourned!"

Back in his office, Damon loosened his tie and began working. He continued late into the night until a call

from the villa interrupted him.

"Mr. Sumner, it's bad! Mr. Mason

wouldn't eat dinner and tried to sneak out through a window on the second floor. He fell and is on his way to the hospital now," the maid reported.

Damon's face darkened. "You can't even keep an eye on a child? Useless!"

He immediately called for Luca, speaking coldly. "Have the driver bring the car around. I need to go to the hospital."

With that, he strode toward the elevator.

Luca followed, already on the phone with the driver as he hurried to catch up. After finishing the call, he turned to Damon, noting his grim

expression.

"Mr. Sumner, why the sudden trip to the hospital?" Luca asked.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Buddy tried to escape and fell from the second floor,” Damon replied, his expression severe.

Luca was shocked. Mason was only five years old, and a fall from that height could result in serious injuries. "How badly is he hurt?" Luca asked.

"I don't know," Damon said, his frustration mounting.

He added coldly, "Get rid of everyone at the villa. They're useless!"

"Understood!" Luca responded.

The elevator quickly reached the ground floor, and Damon headed straight for the exit.

Just as he stepped out of Prospectus Technology, a figure suddenly darted in front of him, blocking his path. Seeing it was Nyla, he frowned in irritation. He turned to Luca and demanded angrily, "How did she get here?!"
