Chapter 556
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
Erinâs expression darkened. After spending so many years with Damon, she would never allow a sudden, unexpected child to derail her plans.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her anger and resentment. She spoke in a calm tone. âDamon, Iâm having a hard time accepting this right now. P âI need some time to process this. Once Iâve sorted it out, Iâll come find you. Letâs not contact each other in the meantime.â
Fearing that Damon would bring up the idea of breaking their engagement again, Erin abruptly hung up She gritted her teeth, anger boiling beneath the surface That bitch, Nyla, had the audacity to inform Damon about the existence of that child without any warning! She had even pretended not to be interested in Damon, but it had all been an act!
Erin dialed another number, her voice seething with anger. âWhat have you been doing?! Why havenât i heard anything about what I asked you to do?!â
âItâs coming along, Ms. Hulle. Donât worry,â the person on the other end replied.â
Erin scoffed. âI warn you, if you mess up my plans, I wonât let you off the hook!â
If it werenât for the other partyâs slow progress, Nyla wouldnât have had the chance to bring that bastard child right in front of Damon!
The person on the other end fell silent, heavy breathing indicating they hadnât hung up.
Erin didnât care about their feelings, coldly stating, âYou have three more days. If you canât handle something this small, you can leave!â
She ended the call, still seething with frustration, her face a picture of fury. As long as Nyla was around, she would never find peace!
When Nyla got home, she immediately called Caroline, Caroline arrived about half an hour later.
Seeing Nylaâs disheveled state, her eyes filled with concern. âNyla, donât worry. Buddy has been with you for years. Heâs deeply attached to you. Even if Nyla shook her head. âSince Damon has already sent someone to take him and has prepared a lawyer and a paternity test, he wonât let me see Buddy e âI called his secretary just now. Hearing Buddyâs heartbreaking cries made my heart ache. Every second I canât see him feels like torture.
Caroline encouraged her, âNow more than ever, you need to stay strong. Buddy is counting on you to bring him back. I know a few good lawyers. Iâll intro Taking a deep breath, Nyla looked at Caroline. âCaroline, I actually need to ask for your help.â
âWhat is it?â Caroline inquired.
âDamonâs lawyer is Gerrard Chaucer. You should know heâs very famous in Capitarnia and even nationally. Itâll be tough for an ordinary lawyer to win. I w Carolineâs expression grew conflicted. Her elder sister, Bailey Lovell, was indeed very skilled. If she took the case, their chances of winning would increase significantly It was just that⦠Bailey had previously had a relationship with Gerrard. After their breakup, both had carved out successful careers and had never cross Bailey had once stated she wouldnât take cases involving Gerrard, and though he hadnât publicly announced it, he would avoid any case that Bailey was involved in as well.
In recent years, both had become wellâknown lawyers in Capitarnia, yet it felt like they were in a standoff, each avoiding the other.
