Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Clark’s expression was tense, filled with anger. He knew Cyrus could definitely follow through on his threats. After all, Cyrus had never cared about him.

Finally, he called Michael, his voice cold. “Don’t take any action against Clement for now.”

Hanging up, he glared at Cyrus. “You can leave now.”

Cyrus‘ gaze darkened. “One day, you will understand that everything I do is for your own good.”

Clark didn’t reply. Instead, he picked up a file, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.

There was a flash of coldness in Cyrus‘ eyes at Clark’s indifferent face before he turned and quickly left.

Michael was already on his way to the subsidiary company when Clark’s call came. Finding the situation inexplicable, he turned back. Just as he entered the office, a chill ran down his spine, as if he had stepped into an icy wasteland. “Mr. Sumner, regarding Clement-”

“Don’t worry about it. Just spread the news that it was Lucia who filmed the video.”

Seeing Clark’s cold expression, Michael dared not ask further questions. He nodded before leaving.

When Lucia arrived at work in the morning, she immediately felt the odd glances from others. Especially in the R&D department, none of her colleagues struck up a conversation with her. Every time she tried to speak, they either seemed too busy or intentionally ignored her, clearly isolating her.

It wasn’t until she went to the restroom that she heard voices inside discussing her.

“Lucia usually acts nice and innocent, but who knew she was so malicious behind our backs? She actually filmed that video to slander Nyla. From now on, who would dare to associate with her?”

“Heh, no wonder Nyla was at odds with her from day one at work. Looks like she knew her true colors.”

“Better keep our distance from her in the future. Who knows? She might snap a video of us and post it online just because she doesn’t like us.”

Listening to the gossip, Lucia was furious beyond measure. Didn’t Clement promise he would handle this? Why did everyone in the company know it was her doing?

Right, it must be Nyla! 

She for found Nyla and dragged her to the stairwell.

"Nyla, are you spreading rumors in the company that I filmed the video of forcing Kenneth to kneel?"

Seeing Lucia's agitated state, Nyla remained composed. "You did something shameful. Shouldn't you feel guilty after it's exposed? How are you still boldly accusing me like this?" "So it's really you!"

Nyla raised an eyebrow, thinking that Lucia's comprehension skills were seriously lacking. When did she ever admit to anything? Nyla was also puzzled about who might be secretly helping her.

Upon arriving at the company in the morning and learning about the situation, her first thoughts were of Valarie and Damon. However, both denied any involvement when she asked them. "Believe what you want," Nyla said dismissively. She turned to leave, done wasting time with Lucia.

However, Lucia stepped forward and blocked her path, her gaze filled with anger and resentment. "You need to explain right now that this has nothing to do with me!"

Nyla found it amusing how confidently Lucia was commanding her even after doing something wrong.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Dream on," Nyla replied and turned to walk away, but Lucia grabbed her.

As they struggled, neither noticed how close they were getting to the stairs.

Suddenly, Lucia stepped into empty space, pulling Nyla along as they tumbled down the stairs together...
