Trading My Ex for His Uncle



The air hung heavy for a moment before Damon's previously cold expression softened.

“I'll pay more attention in the future,” he said, quickly heading toward his study.

Nyla casually diverted her gaze and gently spoke to Mason. "Don't be afraid, Buddy. Your dad was just in a bad mood. He won't hurt you."

Mason nodded. "Okay."

"Let's continue eating," Nyla said.

Meanwhile, Damon's phone rang as soon as he stepped into the study.

"Mr. Sumner, Stephen met with someone from Prestige Corp. tonight," Luca reported.

A week earlier, Luca had discovered that Stephen Ketchum had been in contact with Prestige Corp. and had immediately informed Damon. Stephen was the director of the technology department at Prospectus Technology and had been involved in many significant research projects. If Prestige Corp. managed to poach him, it would not only be a substantial loss for Prospectus Technology but could also jeopardize the company's de Damon lowered his gaze, an icy look in his eyes. "Don't worry about him for now. What's going on with Prestige Corp. recently?"

"They're also planning to acquire land in the eastern part of the city and negotiate a partnership for the western suburbs project," Luca answered.

"I see. Have Mr. Gable meet with Mr. Trull tomorrow and take that project from Prestige Corp. Also, arrange for me to meet with

Mr. Vance," Damon instructed.

The western suburbs project was primarily managed by the Trull Group. Damon hadn't been particularly interested in it before, as it involved high inves “Understood, Mr. Sumner," Luca replied.

The next day at noon, in the most luxurious private room at Flavors...

David Vance smiled and asked, "Mr. Sumner, may I ask what brought you here?"

"Mr. Vance, I'm here to discuss business, of course," Damon replied.

At this, David narrowed his eyes slightly but then smiled again. "If I recall correctly, Prospectus Technology and I do not have any partnership." "We didn't before, but that doesn't mean we won't in the future," Damon replied.

An hour later, David and Damon emerged from the private room.

David's smile was noticeably warmer as he said, "Mr. Sumner, let's set a time to sign the contract."

Damon returned the smile. "How about tomorrow?"

David paused for a moment, and then his smile brightened even more. "That would be perfect! I'll bring the contract to Prospectus Technology tomorro "See you tomorrow then," Damon replied.

"Alright, see you tomorrow," David answered.

As Damon got into the black Maybach, the car sped away.

Once on the main road, Luca finally

spoke up. "Mr. Sumner, Prospectus Technology has taken Prestige Corp.'s largest supplier, so we might be standing completely opposed to them now

Moreover, to partner with David,

Prospectus Technology had offered a price that was 10% higher than Prestige Corp.'s. This meant they would barely break even and might even incur a loss.

Damon's expression turned icy. "Prestige Corp. is poaching our technology director, so they're clearly ready to sever ties. I'm simply returning the favor, and this is just the beginning."

Luca shivered at the coldness in Damon's eyes. If they got on Damon's bad side, Prestige Corp. would be finished. "What's our next move, Mr. Sumner?" Luca asked.

"Contact the smaller shareholders at Prestige Corp. and find a way to buy out their shares," Damon instructed.

Luca nodded. “Okay, I'll take care of that as soon as I get to the office."

Not long after they returned to the office, Erin came in.

Seeing her, Damon frowned.

"I made myself very clear yesterday. I'm not kicking Nyla out of the villa, and I said

if you can't stand it, you can break off the engagement at any time," he said.

Erin gritted her teeth, her expression filled with reluctance.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Damon, I've told you I won't agree to breaking off the engagement. don't understand why you insist on letting Nyla live in the villa. I can take care of Buddy. I promise to treat him as my own!" she vowed.
