Chapter 505
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
Upon seeing Cyrusâ guilty expression and his cowardice in making eye contact, Richardâs gaze grew colder.
If Cyrus was afraid to even look him in the eye, it proved he was useless! It also meant that Damon was the best candidate to inherit the Sumner Group.
Richard was determined not to let Damon be ruined because of a woman.
âI brought you here tonight to ask about the hypnosis treatment you mentioned this morning. Are there any successful case studies?â Richard inquired.
Cyrusâ face lit up with excitement. âYes, yes! I can show you!â
Seeing his barely contained enthusiasm, Richard narrowed his eyes. He stood up and said, âLetâs discuss this in the study.â
The two spent over an hour in the study.
By the time dinner was ready, Marie had to call several times before they finally emerged.
Cyrus was flushed with delight. He turned to Richard earnestly, saying, âDad, donât worry. Iâll book a flight abroad for tomorrow and bring back a professio to be well, too.â
Richard hummed in response.
After a hurried dinner, Cyrus quickly left.
Marie looked at Richard with concern. âRichard, have you decided to go along with Cyrusâ plan?â
Richard looked up. âDidnât you just say this morning that you hoped our son would return? Why are you hesitating now?â
âIâm afraid that⦠if it doesnât work, our relationship with Damon will definitely worsen⦠Iâm also worried about causing him harmâ¦â Marie confessed.
Richardâs expression turned icy. Women were so troublesomeâwanting to achieve their goals white avoiding any risks. Things didnât work that way.
2 âIâll handle this myself. You donât need to worry about it,â Richard said, Marie sighed and fell silent. Once Richard made a decision, there was no changing it.
After dinner, Richard summoned the butler to the study and instructed, âHave a few people secretly follow Cyrus. Heâs clearly planning to use this opportunity against Damon. I canât let him have any chance.â
The butler, Frank Cobb, lowered his head. âUnderstood, Iâll arrange it immediately.â
Within a week, Cyrus returned to the country with the hypnotist he had mentioned.
As soon as they landed, he took the hypnotist straight to the Sumner residence.
âDad, this is Dr. Sean Merritt, the hypnotist I told you about. Heâs very well known internationally,â Cyrus introduced.
After Richard greeted Sean, he signaled to Frank.
Soon, a few blackâclad bodyguards stepped forward and restrained Cyrus.
Cyrus was taken aback. He quickly looked at Richard and asked, âDad, what is the meaning of this?â
Richard remained unmoved, his expression cold. âWhat do you mean, whatâs the meaning of this? Do you think I donât know about your schemes?â
âDad, what are you talking about? I donât understand,â Cyrus protested.
Richard sneered and had Frank present evidence of Cyrusâ plan to use Seanâs hypnosis to turn Damon into a fool.
Cyrus, filled with anger, quickly went pale. He couldnât help but question, âIf you knew about my plan, why didnât you stop me from the âstart?! Why did you make me go abroad to bring Dr. Merritt back?!â
