Chapter 545
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
Nylaâs heart sank at Damonâs words. She absolutely could not let him conduct a paternity test. If he did, everything would fall apart.
She met Damonâs gaze. âMr. Sumner, if I remember correctly, you have a fiancee. If you want a child, she can give you one. Isnât it a bit absurd to demand a paternity test for someone elseâs child?â
âYour strong reaction makes me wonder if youâre feeling guilty, Ms. Kinsey,â Damon shot back.
âIâm just pointing out that youâre causing trouble where none exists. Weâve never met before, and we have no connection, isnât that right?â Nyla retorted.
Damonâs eyes turned cold. Before coming to Capitarnia, he had truly had no interactions with Nyla. That was precisely why he insisted on a paternity test.
As he remained silent, simply glaring at her, Nyla pressed on, âSince you have nothing more to say, weâll be leaving.â
Just as she was about to take Mason away, Damonâs cold voice cut through the air. âYouâre not leaving Prospectus Technology without my permission today.â
Nylaâs hands clenched at her sides, her glare unwavering. âMr. Sumner, restricting someoneâs freedom is illegal.â
Damonâs icy gaze remained fixed on her. âMs. Kinsey, I donât want to use force, so I suggest you cooperate. If the paternity test shows no relation betwee But if there was a connection, he wouldnât let it go.
Just as his words settled, a frosty voice interrupted, âMr. Sumner, if you dare to lay a finger on my girlfriend, youâll regret it. Prospectus Technology wonât get off easy.â
Startled, Nyla turned to see Oliver. âOliver⦠what are you doing here?â
He had mentioned coming once they found Mason, but she had discouraged him. He had promised he wouldnât, and yet, there he was.
Oliver moved closer, wrapping his arm around her. âIf I hadnât shown up, I wouldnât have realized that the great CEO of Prospectus Technology resorts to bullying women.â
The last part was directed at Damon. Their eyes met, sparking an intense standoff brimming with tension. Damon narrowed his eyes dangerously. âMr. R âHow can it not? Nyla is my girlfriendâ
her matters are my matters. Speaking of you, Mr. Sumner, casually wanting to acknowledge a child you just metâ
could it be that you have some issue preventing you from having your own?
âIf thatâs the case, I can recommend some good clinics for treatment.â Oliverâs tone was mocking as he glanced pointedly, feigning sympathy at Damonâs Damonâs face darkened. âOliver, are you asking for trouble?â
Oliver smiled, unfazed. âMr. Sumner, have you forgotten? This is Capitarnia, not Saintornia.â
The Raynors had been entrenched in Capitarnia for over a century. Oliver had no fear of confronting Damon.
They stood off against each other, neither willing to back down. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, ready to erupt.
At that moment, Spencer stepped forward and quietly advised, âMr. Sumner, the amusement park project is still in progress. Confronting the Raynors now Damon shot him a cold glance. âShut up!â
All he wanted was to find out if Mason was his child. As for the amusement park project, if Oliver dared to try and snatch it away, Damon would make sure he left emptyâhanded!
