Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 184

"No, why?" Nyla asked.

Her mind was still preoccupied with when she would visit Lucia, so she had paid little attention to Clark.

"Nyla, the reason I haven't visited you these past few days is that I've been swamped with work. Uncle Damon deliberately terminated his partnership with the Sumner Group to target me, and I only managed to resolve this issue this evening, Clark explained.

Nyla nodded. "I see."

Clark felt exhausted due to her cold response. He had been getting only four hours of sleep each night due to his busy schedule and looked worn out, but Nyla seemed oblivious, still sulking.

In the past, Clark would have tried to appease her. Now, he didn't feel like saying anything more. He fell silent, and the dining room was soon filled only with the clinking of cutlery.

After dinner, Clark went straight to his study, while Nyla drove to the police station.

Lucia's case had not been decided yet, so she was still in jail. After some time apart, Lucia looked pale and demoralized.

When Nyla arrived, Lucia's eyes flashed with resentment. "What are you here for? To gloat over my misfortune?
