Chapter 557
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
Caroline hadnât asked directly, but she sensed that Bailey still hadnât moved on from her past relation which was why she was reluctant to meet Gerrard.
âNyla, I can introduce you to other lawyers. I know several who are just as capable as my sister. You could consider them,â Caroline suggested.
Nyla shook her head. âFor custody cases like this, your sister is the most wellâ
known. She has never lost a case sheâs taken, so I really want to give it a shot. I just want to meet her. If she declines, I wonât push her If it werenât for M Caroline understood that and nodded after a moment of hesitation. âAlright, Il arrange for you to meet Bailey, but whether or not you can convince her is âThank you, Caroline!â Nyla exclaimed.
âDonât thank me just yet. The chances of success are low. Besides, Iâve watched Buddy grow up, so Iâll do everything I can to help.â Caroline replied.
Nyla felt a wave of gratitude. âOkay.â

Not long after Caroline left, Oliver arrived.
âNyla, I heard about Buddy. Iâve already sent people to find him. We should locate him soon, so donât worry,â he reassured her.

As soon as they saw Oliver and Nyla, the crowd parted to let them through. Upon entering the living room, the atmosphere grew tense as Oliverâs gaze met Damonâs.
Oliver spoke first. âMr. Sumner, if you donât return Buddy to Nyla today, this matter wonât end well.â
Damon let out a light laugh, completely unfazed by Oliverâs words. âMr. Raynor, Buddy is my child with Nyla. Whatâs it to you? What right do you have to interfere? Iâve never met someone so eager to raise someone elseâs child.â
