Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Nyla intercepted Cindy's hand in mid-air, preventing the slap. She fixed Cindy with an icy stare and spoke slowly. "I have only one father. He's in the hospital now, waiting for a kidney because of your husband's scheming, which led to his company's bankruptcy."

Cindy felt a pang of guilt under Nyla's cold gaze. She pulled her hand away and snapped, "I've never seen anyone send their own father-in-law to the police! You'd better clear things up with them right now, or I won't let you off the hook!"

Nyla had always known Cindy was unreasonable, but she hadn't expected her to be this thoughtless. "Do you realize kidnapping is a crime? And he even planned to kill me. I've already given the police the recordings. Do you think this is just a child's game?"

Cindy froze. Before she could respond, Richard, who had been silent, spoke up. "Enough of this commotion at the police station!"© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Cindy bit her lip in frustration. With a final venomous glance at Nyla, she retreated to stand behind Richard and Marie.

Richard turned his penetrating gaze on Nyla. "As expected of Harrison's daughter. I misjudged you before."

Nyla wasn't intimidated. She smiled. "I should be the one saying that. I misjudged the Sumners."

She was disgusted by the fact that she had married Clark after Cyrus caused the downfall of the Jaystons. She refused to believe the Sumners were unaware of Cyrus' actions against Harris Pharmaceuticals. Richard sneered. "Young and impulsive. You're bound to suffer the consequences."

With that, he turned and left.

Nyla took a deep breath, knowing this was just the beginning and more challenges were ahead.

After leaving the police station, Richard immediately instructed his lawyer to discuss how to bail Cyrus out.

Upon reviewing the case, the lawyer looked concerned. "The part about using underhanded methods to bankrupt Harris Pharmaceuticals is relatively easy to handle. The main issue is Ms. Jayston's kidnapping. If the victim refuses to forgive, it can result in a severe sentence."

Cindy gnashed her teeth in anger. "From her behavior at the police station, she clearly has no intention of forgiving him!"

Richard shot her a stern look. "Be quiet!"

they might have to resort to unconventional methods.

Just as the lawyer left, Damon returned.

Marie's eyes were red when she saw him.

"Damon, you must help your brother. He's never faced anything like this in his life! If he's really sentenced, I won't be able to go on," Marie cried.

On the way to the Sumner residence, Damon had already heard about Cyrus' arrest for kidnapping Nyła. His expression remained indifferent,

"Dad, Mom, did you know about Cyrus' scheme to bankrupt Harris Pharmaceuticals?" Damon asked.

Marie was taken aback by the question and then frowned. "Does it matter whether we knew or not? The most important thing now is to find a way to get your brother out."

Damon had connections with the police and might be able to secure Cyrus' release.

"Mom, he's now implicated in kidnapping. The police won't release him," Damon stated.

Seeing Damon's indifference, Marie looked at him in disbelief. "He's your elder brother. Are you really going to just watch him get arrested?"
