Chapter 574
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
As soon as Gerrard finished speaking, he felt the temperature in the room drop several degrees.
Damonâs expression had darkened noticeably.
Still, Gerrard asked, âYou really donât remember anything? Nyla was your nephewâs wife. Even if you donât remember her name, surely her face should h Nyla was beautifulâthe kind of beauty that was hard to forget. Although Gerrard had only met her once, her image remained vivid in his mind.
Damonâs face grew colder as he tried to recall the name and face of Clarkâs exâwife. Yet, his mind was blank.
In his memory, Clark had brought his wife to family gatherings after their marriage, but right now, he couldnât recall a single detail about the woman. Even the events of Clarkâs marriage an Damon had never been close to Cla After Damonâs car accident, Richard had sent Clark abroad for some mistake, and Damon had stopped paying attention to him. He had only learned abo Clarkâs divorce much later. Since it hadnât concerned him, he hadnât cared.
Now, discovering that Nyla was Clarkâs exâwife left Damon undeniably shocked. How had he become entangled with her?
Everything seemed to be traced back to the car accident five years ago. There was a very real possibility that he hadnât been in a coma the entire time, contrary to what Richard had told him.
As this unsettling thought settled in, Damonâs expression darkened further.

However, just as his hand touched the phone, he paused.
Based on the evidence Gerrard had uncovered, it seemed likely that Spencer had betrayed him. Not only Spencerâ
perhaps everyone in the Sumners had been lying to him.
As he mulled over this revelation, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing Nylaâs name on the caller ID, he answered.
âMs. Kinsey, what can I do for you?â he asked.
âIâd like to meet with you,â she replied.
Damonâs tone turned cold. âIf this is about custody of Buddy, we can talk. If itâs anything else, thereâs no need.â
âI just sent you a photo, Mr. Sumner. Take a look before deciding whether or not to meet.â She hung up befo uld respond.
