Chapter 538
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
Nyla fell silent. She didnât want to let Mason go, but it was the best option she could think of for now. Lately, she had been having dreams in which Damon came to take Mason away, and the first thing she would do every morning w âBut⦠if I donât send Buddy away, I have no other optionsâ¦â she muttered.
Oliver paused for a moment before saying softly, âNyla, donât rush. Damon has lost his memory, so he might not come after Buddy. Whatâs most important now is that you stay calm and donât stress yourself too much.â
Nyla bit her lip and replied quietly, âI understand what youâre saying, but I canât help but worryâ¦â
âIâll be back tomorrow. Letâs meet and discuss this. There has to be a better solution,â Oliver assured her..
âOkay,â Nyla replied.
After hanging up, Oliver thought for a moment before calling his secretary. âContact Spencer Hogg, the secretary of Prospectus Technologyâs CEO, Dam The next evening, the first thing Oliver did upon his return to Capitarnia was meet Spencer. He got straight to the point once he sat down across from him. âMr. Hogg, I know what youâre investigat youâll stop.â
Spencer frowned, visibly displeased. âMr. Raynor, you have no authority to give me orders.â
If it werenât for Oliver concealing Nylaâs whereabouts, Damon might have found her before Richard had him hypnotized, and everything could have been different.
Oliver remained calm, his expression serious. âMr. Hogg, Mr. Sumner has forgotten Nyla, and her life is peaceful now. Why dig up everything and turn everyoneâs lives upside down? Sometimes, itâs better to let things be.â
Spencer scoffed. âMr. Raynor, you donât need to put on a facade. Youâre saying this because youâre afraid Mr. Sumner might take Nyla away.â
Oliver raised an eyebrow, confidence resonating in his voice. âIâve been by Nylaâs side for five years. Iâve supported her through her toughest times, and I believe Iâm far more important to her than Mr. Sumner is right now.
âStill, I wonât leverage that support for my own gain. I just want her to be happy. Your actions are already causing her distress, and I wonât allow anyone to hurt her.â
Spencer remained silent, though the hostility in his expression had lessened.
âMr. Sumner hasnât been happy these past few years,â he said.
Even if Damon had forgotten Nyla and was now engaged to Erin, Spencer knew that Damon had never truly let anyone else into his heart. Perhaps, eve âMr. Sumnerâs happiness has nothing to do with Nyla. Surely, you wouldnât sacrifice someone elseâs happiness just to keep Mr. Sumner happy?
âBesides, Nyla doesnât want anything to do with him. If you insist on pursuing this, I will have to take matters into my own hands to stop you,â Oliver warned âAre you threatening me?â Spencer questioned.
âJust a reminder. But I hope you understand: Nyla is my bottom line, and this isnât Saintornia,â Oliver replied.
With that, he stood up and left.
Spencer sat in the restaurant for a long time before finally getting up to leave.
Back at the hotel, he picked up his phone and called his subordinate. âCancel the investigation into Nyla. Thereâs no need to look into her anymore.â
On the way to Nylaâs house, Oliver received word that Spencerâs people looking into Mason had already left, and a smile slowly crept onto his face.
