Chapter 499
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
âWait!â Wren stopped him. âHarrisonâs been very unstable since Nylaâs fall. He has tried to end his life several times. I told him Nylaâs body hasnât been fo Gabriel impatiently shook off her hand and replied coldly, âGot it.â
As Gabriel entered the hospital room, he noticed that Harrison looked even more emaciated than before. He hesitated, his step faltering.
When Harrison saw him, he managed a weak smile. âGabriel⦠youâre back⦠You must have heard about Nyla. I need to ask you for a favorâ¦.â
Gabriel took his hand, his expression serious. âI understand. You donât need to say more. Iâll look for Nyla. I wonât give up until I find her.â
Harrisonâs eyes reddened as he grasped Gabrielâs hand. âThank you!â
âItâs the least I can do,â Gabriel replied.
He lingered for a moment before standing up to leave.
As he walked out of the room, his expression immediately turned icy. He called his assistant. âFind out Nylaâs whereabouts. Alive or dead, I want to see her!â
After hanging up, determination flashed in his eyes. He tightened his grip on his phone.
If it werenât for Damon and Clark, Nyla wouldnât be in this situation. He wouldnât let anyone from the Sumners go unpunished!
At the Sumner residenceâ¦
Cyrus and Richard sat in the living room, both looking grim.
âDad, are you really going to let Damon do whatever he wants? He nearly bankrupted the Preston Group this time, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction. If this keeps up, the Sumner Group will also be affected,â Cyrus comp Damonâs actions had hurt the interests of many business partners. They hadnât retaliated yet, partly out of fear of suffering a similar fate to the Preston G Despite that, everyone had their limits. If Damon continued his reckless behavior and damaged their interests, they would eventually retaliate.
Richard gave him a cold look. âYou want me to handle him? How can I control him? Does he even listen to me?â
After locking Damon up in the hospital last time, their relationship had worsened. Any further interference would only escalate the situation.
Cyrus whined, âIf you wonât deal with it, then who will? If he were targeting the Preston Group for his companyâs sake, I wouldnât say anything. But now heâs offending people just for a woman, which is completely pointless!â
Richard remained silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice. âNyla has just fallen into the sea. Let him vent on a few people for now.â
Cyrus, visibly agitated, glared at Richard. âYouâre blased toward him! If it were me or Clark doing this, youâd have locked us up in the old wing by now!â
âIf you and Clark could start your own companies without relying on the family, I wouldnât interfere!â Richard snapped.
Cyrus was rendered speechless, his face a mix of fluster and embarrassment.
After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and asked, âWhat if he keeps this up? Are we really going to let him turn the entire city upside down for a woman?â
Upon seeing Cyrusâ hesitation, Richardâs expression darkened as he asked, âWhat exactly are you suggesting?!â
âI heard thereâs a form of hypnosis abroad that can make people lose part of their memory without affecting them otherwise. What ifâ¦â Cyrus proposed.
