Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Cindy immediately intervened when she learned that Nyla wanted a divorce from Clark.

"Your dad is still in the police station. If you divorce her now, it will only make it harder for her to relent later. As long as she's still your wife, we can at least mitigate the sentence with a letter of forgiveness if your dad is convicted. If you divorce her now, things will only get worse," she said.

Clark's face was grim. "She has evidence of my involvement in the kidnapping. If I don't go along with her demands, she'll turn that evidence over to the police."

Cindy frowned, anger flashing in her eyes. "That scheming woman! She really came prepared! But the more she acts like this, the more you can't divorce her right now. Otherwise, who knows what she'll do to the Sumners."

"Mom, do you still naively believe that if I delay the divorce, she'll let the Sumners off the hook?" Clark asked.

Nyla was determined to sever ties with the Sumners by sending Cyrus to jail.

After this incident, neither Richard nor Marie would ever accept her again. If Clark stayed with her, he would only disappoint them further and ruin his chances with the Sumner Group.

Cindy was furious, but with Nyla holding evidence, she felt powerless. Moreover, considering Damon's attitude, he was likely to protect Nyla.

The more she thought about it, the more she hated Nyla. She regretted ever letting Nyla into their family. Now, the Sumners were in chaos.

"Make sure she gets nothing in the divorce. She must leave with nothing!" Cindy demanded.

Clark sneered. "She hasn't worked for years and hasn't had any children. There's no way I'm giving her anything."

"Just make sure you follow through," Cindy reminded him.

The next morning...

Clark arrived precisely at 10:00 a.m., seated in a wheelchair with Jordyn pushing him from behind.

His eyes flashed with anger and hatred upon seeing Nyla. The thought of her having Cyrus arrested and now demanding a divorce made him want to strangle her and confront her ruthlessness.

In stark contrast to his agitation, Nyla remained remarkably calm. She harbored no lingering feelings for Clark and was determined to sever ties as swiftly as possible.

She handed him the prepared divorce agreement. "Sign this, and then we can proceed with the paperwork."

Clark flipped through a few pages, noting their familiarity. The agreement was identical to the one she had presented when she first discovered his infidelity.

When he reached the asset division section and saw that Nyla was claiming half of his assets, his eyes grew cold.

"I won't sign this divorce agreement. If you want a divorce, you'll have to leave with nothing. Otherwise, I won't agree to it," he declared.

Nyla calmly handed him another document. "Take a look at this before you decide."

Clark took it and opened it. His face darkened as he saw evidence of some of his unsavory activities at the Sumner Group over the years. How had she gotten this?

Clark's eyes burned with killing intent as he glared at her. She had been keeping tabs on him all these years!

Nyla smiled and said slowly, "Don't worry. Once you sign, I'll give you the original documents."

"How can I trust you?" Clark asked.

He had been deceived by Nyla too many times recently. How could he be sure she wasn't just lying about providing the originals while keeping copies for herself? "Destroying each other is not beneficial for me, and I have no intention of going up against the Sumners.

"I'm only dealing with your father because he was responsible for the bankruptcy of the Jaystons. As for you, aside from your infidelity, you haven't caused me any substantial harm. I just want to clear my name and move on," Nyla explained.

Seeing her serious expression, Clark snortd. "You'd better not try any tricks. I won't be lenient with you."

"Don't worry. I won't," Nyla assured him.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

As Clark prepared to sign, Jordyn spoke up from behind him, her voice filled with dissatisfaction. "Clark, do you really trust her? What if she's plotting against you again?"

Clark ignored Jordyn completely, continuing his signing without pause. He signed his name and threw the document back to Nyla.

"Can we proceed with the divorce now?" he asked.

He had stubbornly refused to divorce her before, but now he was eager to finalize it. Once the signature was confirmed, Nyla tossed a USB drive onto his lap and walked briskly into the courthouse. In less than an hour, the divorce certificates were processed.

Nyla's eyes were a little red as she looked at the hard-earned divorce certificate. When she married Clark, she had never imagined it would end like this.
