Trading My Ex for His Uncle Chapter 99
People were hiding in both the bedroom and by the door, indicating a premeditated attack.Nyla scrambled to her feet and ran toward the kitchen. Unfortunately, she only managed a few steps before someone grabbed her arm and slammed her against the wall."Who are you? Why are you— Mmph!"Before she could finish, one of her attackers pinned her down and pressed a cloth against her nose. A pungent smell filled her nostrils, and her vision began to blur.Soon, two masked men dragged a large suitcase out of Nyla's apartment.Since it was just past 8:00 p.m. and most people were home from work, there weren't many people around, so the men didn't attract much attention.They quickly reached the back gate of the building, where a nondescript van without a license plate was parked in the shadows.They loaded the suitcase into the trunk and drove off toward the outskirts of the city.…Spencer hurried into the CEO's office at Prospectus Technology with a document in hand."Mr. Sumner,

"Even if you spill the beans, I don't have any money now. And if this gets out, you'll be going to jail too!" Kenneth responded.As the argument grew more intense, Nyla finally recognized the man who had kidnapped her—Mabel's father, Kenneth.She had only met him once. How did he know where she lived? How had he gotten into her home?This wasn't something a regular farm worker could come up with. Someone must have been behind it, and that person was obviously Lucia.Gradually, the argument outside died down, followed by the sound of a car starting.Soon, everything was silent.Nyla held her breath, not daring to make a sound.Suddenly, she felt the suitcase being moved and heard the wheels rolling on the ground. She realized she was being dragged somewhere, and her mind raced as she considered how to escape.Nyla cautiously unzipped the top of the suitcase a little, but the outside was pitch black except for the flashlight held by the person dragging her.Unable to see her sur

"Who is this?"Nyla's expression changed as she recognized Jordyn's voice. "This is Nyla. I need to speak to Clark. Put him on the phone."A light laugh came from the other end. "Oh, Clarko? He's in the shower right now and probably can't take your call. If you need something, Ms. Jayston, just tell me, and I'll pass it on."Nyla bit her lip, her hands clenching at her sides. "Jordyn, I've been kidnapped—"Before she could finish, Jordyn cut her off, "Nyla, do you really think using such a pathetic lie will get Clark to come to you? If you want to see him so badly, come find him yourself. But he's with me and our baby tonight, so he doesn't have time for you."Nyla knew that this was a matter of life and death. She couldn't afford to hold a personal grudge. "I'm really kidnapped... Just tell him this—""If you're really kidnapped, then go ahead and die. Without you, my baby can be legitimized, and I can be with Clark." Jordyn's voice was filled with malice. She hung up immediatel

Damon's expression darkened. "What happened?""Ms. Jayston's home is a mess. Her phone is on the couch, but she's gone," Spencer replied."Find out what happened immediately!" Damon ordered.…Within half an hour, Spencer discovered that Nyla had been kidnapped and quickly informed Damon.As the unmarked van drove into the city, it was abruptly stopped by a group of men in black.The driver, taken aback, opened the door to ask what was going on and was immediately kicked to the ground, kneeling in pain."Ah!" he screamed as his knee shattered, his face pale and covered in cold sweat.Spencer's expression was icy. "Where did you take her?"The man's eyes flickered with panic, and he shook his head quickly. "I don't know what you're talking about—"Spencer sneered. "You don't understand? Then we'll make you understand."At his command, the men in black pounced on the man, his screams filling the air.In less than five minutes, the man begged, "Stop! Stop! I'll talk... I'll ta

If Nyla died, not only would Lucia refuse to pay him, but she might also turn on him and accuse him of murder.Kenneth had no power or influence, and with Mabel in jail, there was no way he could fight against Lucia. Keeping Nyla alive was more advantageous for him now."Are you crazy? Clark Sumner might already know we've kidnapped her. The longer we wait, the worse it gets for us!" Lucia yelled."As soon as I see the money, you can kill her. I won't care," he replied.Lucia was furious. "It's the middle of the night. How can I transfer money now? We'll have to wait until the bank opens in the morning!"Kenneth was just as useless as his daughter, Mabel, always messing things up. Even if she could transfer the money, she would have to use an overseas account to avoid detection."I don't care. I just want the money," he insisted.As they argued, a distant light grew closer.Lucia was appalled and ordered, "Hurry! Take her to the rooftop!"Realizing the urgency, Kenneth stopped

As the knife pierced Nyla's hand, she let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale from the pain. Blood flowed from her wound, creating a gruesome sight.Lucia smirked and pulled the knife out, causing blood to spurt.Nyla bit her lip hard to stifle a scream.Lucia's smirk widened at Nyla's pained but restrained expression. "Didn't think you were this tough. Let's see how long you can last."Lucia raised the knife again, aiming for Nyla's heart.Just as the blade was about to reach its mark, a sharp pain shot through Lucia's wrist, and the knife clattered to the ground.Lucia stared in disbelief at the dart lodged in her wrist. She looked up and saw someone running toward her.Panicking, she bent down to retrieve the knife, but a powerful kick sent her flying before she could. She hit the ground hard and spat out blood before losing consciousness.Spencer quickly kicked the knife away and helped Nyla up. "Ms. Jayston, are you okay?"Nyla was shocked to see Spencer. She hadn'

On the way to the hospital, Nyla kept glancing at Damon. She looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.Damon turned to her, his voice deep. "What do you want to say?"Nyla bit her lip. "Mr. Sumner, I was just wondering… How did you know I was kidnapped? And how did you find me?""Spencer had some experimental data he wanted to ask you about. When he couldn't reach you on the phone, he went to your house and found you missing. So, we investigated," he explained casually, but Nyla felt a surge of gratitude."Mr. Sumner, I really appreciate it… If you and Mr. Hogg hadn't arrived in time, I might not have survived the night."Damon's expression remained indifferent. "Don't think too much about it. The most important thing for you now is to recover."Nyla fell silent and lowered her gaze, deciding she must find a way to repay Damon.As they neared the hospital, Nyla looked at him again. "Mr. Sumner, it's already very late. You can drop me off at the hospital entrance, an

Nyla struggled throughout the journey, trying to make Clark put her down, but to no avail.When Clark finally placed her on the emergency room bed, he pressed her hands down and said in a low, serious tone, "Nyla, I'm in a bad mood right now. You'd better behave."Detecting the threat in his voice, Nyla shook off his hands and looked at him coldly. "What does your bad mood have to do with me? If you like obedient behavior, you should go find Jordyn. I'm not capable of being as understanding as she is."Clark stared at her impassive profile and suddenly smiled. "Nyla, are you jealous?"Nyla frowned, unsure of where he got that idea from. She didn't want to argue with him, so she let him think whatever he wanted.Soon, the doctor arrived, conducted a thorough examination, and rebandaged Nyla's injured hand. He advised her to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.Once in the hospital ward, Nyla noticed that Clark hadn't left and felt a flicker of annoyance. "You can l

Jane smiled and praised, "You're such a good boy, Wil. Come here—Mommy wants to tell you something."Hesitant but trusting, Wilhelm slowly moved closer to her.The moment he was within reach, Jane grabbed his collar, her expression dark and menacing. "When I called you earlier, why didn't you come immediately?"Terrified, Wilhelm turned pale, tears brimming in his eyes. "Mommy… I was scared…""Scared of what?" Jane demanded."Scared you'd hit me… Waaaah…" Wilhelm cried.When Wilhelm had been staying with Gabriel, he'd worried he'd never see his mother again.But now, seeing her up close, she seemed frightening—nothing like the gentle mother he used to know.Jane's patience snapped at the sound of his crying. "Shut up! If you keep crying, I'll throw you out!"Wilhelm immediately clammed up, though he couldn't stop the little hiccups that followed. His face was streaked with tears, making him look pitiful.Just then, the door to the room opened, and Wendy walked in carrying som

Embarrassment flickered across Wren's face as she muttered, "I didn't… I just didn't know the situation before, okay?""If you don't know the situation, then don't meddle," Gabriel rebuked.After a moment of silence, Wren stole a glance at Gabriel and softly said, "Gabriel, this time it's my fault. I'm sorry. But Wil absolutely cannot be sent back to Jane. Who knows how she'll treat him? She's already proven she's capable of terrible things."Just thinking about Jane intentionally causing Wilhelm's allergic reaction made Wren's skin crawl. What kind of mother could be so cruel?"I know what I'm doing. From now on, if Jane contacts you, don't respond," Gabriel instructed.Wren quickly nodded. "Okay… I understand…""If there's nothing else, you can go. I have work to do," Gabriel dismissed."Alright… I'll leave now…" Wren answered.As Wren walked out of the villa, she finally let out a sigh of relief.Just as she was about to call her driver, her phone rang.Seeing that it was

Wilhelm froze at Gabriel's stern expression, shrinking behind Wren and peeking at his father with frightened eyes.Without looking at him, Gabriel called for a maid. "Take him to the Wilkies with the driver later."The maid nodded. "Understood."Just as the maid was about to lead Wilhelm away, Wren pulled the boy behind her and snapped, "Gabriel, can't you see how scared he is?"Gabriel finally lifted his gaze to her, his tone icy. "Weren't you the one who brought him to me and insisted I let him see Jane? Now that I've agreed, what more do you want?"Wren stiffened but quickly composed herself. "I only brought him because he was crying so pitifully. That doesn't mean I want him to live with Jane again."She wasn't stupid. It was clear that Wilhelm was better off with Gabriel than with Jane.If the divorce went through, Jane would eventually remarry, and who knew how much Wilhelm would suffer in her new household?At least with Gabriel, Wren could visit Wilhelm often, and he wo

Raymond and Gabriel stayed in the study for over an hour before emerging.By then, Raymond's expression had shifted from initial unease to radiant joy, his face brimming with smiles.It seemed the fortune teller had been right—Wren was indeed his lucky star.Despite his company's brush with bankruptcy, Gabriel not only promised to inject 70,000,000 dollars into it but also agreed to partner with them on future projects.The potential profits were enough to make it impossible for Raymond to hide his grin.Seeing his cheerful demeanor, Wren let out a breath of relief.Setting Wilhelm down from her lap, she turned to Raymond and asked, "So, you reached an agreement?""Yeap. I need to get back to the office, though. I'll have the driver pick you up later," Raymond replied."Alright. Will you be home for dinner?" Wren asked."Of course! Tonight, we'll celebrate properly," Raymond promised.After Raymond left, Wilhelm tugged on Wren's sleeve. "Grandma, when are you going to talk to

"Okay," Wilhelm answered.He accepted the bowl and took a couple of sips, then looked up at Gabriel and asked, "Daddy, where's Mommy?"Upon seeing the cautious look in Wilhelm's eyes, a complex expression crossed Gabriel's face.He crouched down to the boy's level and said gently, "Wil, from now on, you'll live with Daddy. Is that okay?"Wilhelm froze, tears welling up in his eyes. "Daddy, does that mean you don't want Mommy anymore?"Jane's words echoed in his mind—that Gabriel had a bad woman outside and didn't want them anymore.Now that his father didn't want his mother, it wouldn't be long before he didn't want him either, especially if he had a child with that bad woman.Gabriel sighed and spoke softly. "Wil, this is an adult matter that you won't understand. Daddy isn't abandoning Mommy. We're just going to live separately. But no matter what, both of us love you very much.""You're lying!" Wilhelm cried, throwing the bowl to the floor, where it shattered into pieces.H

Looking at Jane's self-righteous demeanor, Gabriel remained expressionless. His gaze was indifferent, as if she were a stranger of no consequence.His lack of reaction agitated Jane even more."Gabriel, why aren't you saying anything? Why?!" she shouted.Gabriel's voice was calm. "Because I think you're pitiful.""Pitiful?!" Jane repeated, then burst into laughter. "Do you think you're any less pitiful than I am? You abandoned your wife to be with Nyla, but has she even spared you a second glance? In the end, you and I are no different—we're both pathetic losers."Gabriel showed no visible reaction but said, "Jane, I'm not like you.""What's so different about you?" Jane demanded."I can make my own choices. You can't. Take this situation, for example—I can ensure you'll never see Wilhelm again, but there's nothing you can do to stop me," Gabriel stated.Jane froze, her laughter faltering. An overwhelming sense of unease gripped her. "What are you going to do?"Gabriel waved h

Although Wilhelm wanted more, he hesitated briefly before obediently putting down his spoon."Okay, Mommy," he said.His compliance sparked a brief flicker of guilt in Jane's eyes. But the feeling vanished as quickly as it had come, replaced by a calm determination.After settling the bill, she led Wilhelm back to the car.As soon as they were on the road, Wilhelm began squirming in his seat, scratching himself furiously. His small face scrunched in discomfort as he complained, "Mommy… I don't feel good. I'm itchy all over…"Jane glanced at him and saw red spots breaking out across his skin."Hold on, Mommy's taking you to the hospital right now," she said.She sped toward the nearest hospital, reaching it in less than ten minutes.…By the time Jane pulled into the ER, Wilhelm's face was covered in hives. He was clawing at himself, leaving red marks all over his pale skin.Jane rushed to unbuckle him and carried him inside, moving quickly toward the emergency desk.A doctor

Wilhelm thought that when Gabriel was home, Jane never hit him without a reason.But ever since his father left, his mother had become unpredictable. Sometimes, even the sound of him making noise while eating would lead to punishment, forcing him to stand in the corner.He missed the mother who would kiss him and speak to him gently. He didn't want the mother who hit him for no reason."But Daddy's out there with another woman now and won't come home," he said.Although he was young, he understood a lot of adult issues.Lately, Gabriel hadn't been around. With Jane's constant hints, Wilhelm had started to believe that Gabriel had left because of a bad woman, choosing her over their family."Mommy, when I grow up, I'll protect you. I won't let any bad woman bully you!" Wilhelm vowed.Tears welled in Jane's eyes at his words, her heart filled with a mix of emotions. Yet, her moment of hesitation lasted only a second before her resolve hardened.The only way to give Wilhelm a comp

Besides, Nyla didn't even like Gabriel. It had always been him chasing her.What was Jane supposed to do—crack open his head and make him stop liking Nyla?Wren frowned, clearly irritated. "Alright, I'm not in the mood to talk about this. Go home," she said, waving Jane off.Jane protested, "Mom, we haven't even discussed how to bring Gabriel back to me and Wilhelm. I need your help.""What do you want me to do?" Wren asked."Later, call Gabriel and tell him Wilhelm has a fever and wants to see him. Get him to come home," Jane requested.Wren hesitated. Gabriel's attitude toward her had grown increasingly cold. If he found out she was conspiring with Jane to deceive him, it could further damage their relationship.Seeing her reluctance, Jane sighed. "Mom, do you really want to watch him chase after Nyla? With the way things are between you two now, do you think Nyla will treat you kindly if they end up together?""That's impossible! Nyla doesn't like him. They won't end up to
