Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Nyla’s heart sank at Damon’s words. She absolutely could not let him conduct a paternity test. If he did, everything would fall apart.

She met Damon’s gaze. “Mr. Sumner, if I remember correctly, you have a fiancee. If you want a child, she can give you one. Isn’t it a bit absurd to demand a paternity test for someone else’s child?”

“Your strong reaction makes me wonder if you’re feeling guilty, Ms. Kinsey,” Damon shot back.

“I’m just pointing out that you’re causing trouble where none exists. We’ve never met before, and we have no connection, isn’t that right?” Nyla retorted.

Damon’s eyes turned cold. Before coming to Capitarnia, he had truly had no interactions with Nyla. That was precisely why he insisted on a paternity test.

As he remained silent, simply glaring at her, Nyla pressed on, “Since you have nothing more to say, we’ll be leaving.”

Just as she was about to take Mason away, Damon’s cold voice cut through the air. “You’re not leaving Prospectus Technology without my permission today.”

Nyla’s hands clenched at her sides, her glare unwavering. “Mr. Sumner, restricting someone’s freedom is illegal.”

Damon’s icy gaze remained fixed on her. “Ms. Kinsey, I don’t want to use force, so I suggest you cooperate. If the paternity test shows no relation betwee NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

But if there was a connection, he wouldn’t let it go.

Just as his words settled, a frosty voice interrupted, “Mr. Sumner, if you dare to lay a finger on my girlfriend, you’ll regret it. Prospectus Technology won’t get off easy.”

Startled, Nyla turned to see Oliver. “Oliver… what are you doing here?”

He had mentioned coming once they found Mason, but she had discouraged him. He had promised he wouldn’t, and yet, there he was.

Oliver moved closer, wrapping his arm around her. “If I hadn’t shown up, I wouldn’t have realized that the great CEO of Prospectus Technology resorts to bullying women.”

The last part was directed at Damon. Their eyes met, sparking an intense standoff brimming with tension. Damon narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Mr. R

“How can it not? Nyla is my girlfriend– her matters are my matters. Speaking of you, Mr. Sumner, casually wanting to acknowledge a child you just met– could it be that you have some issue preventing you from having your own?

“If that’s the case, I can recommend some good clinics for treatment.” Oliver’s tone was mocking as he glanced pointedly, feigning sympathy at Damon’s

Damon’s face darkened. “Oliver, are you asking for trouble?”

Oliver smiled, unfazed. “Mr. Sumner, have you forgotten? This is Capitarnia, not Saintornia.”

The Raynors had been entrenched in Capitarnia for over a century. Oliver had no fear of confronting

Damon.

They stood off against each other, neither willing to back down. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, ready to erupt.

At that moment, Spencer stepped forward and quietly advised, “Mr. Sumner, the amusement park project is still in progress. Confronting the Raynors now

Damon shot him a cold glance. “Shut up!”

All he wanted was to find out if Mason was his child. As for the amusement park project, if Oliver dared to try and snatch it away, Damon would make sure he left empty–handed!
