Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 945

After leaving the Genge residence, Karter dialed Damon's number.

"Mr. Sumner, Tom has been stringing me along. It seems like he's not planning to go after the Sumner Group in the short term," Karter reported.

Damon's tone was indifferent as he replied, "Got it. Just keep in touch with him for now—apply some pressure."

"Got it. But what about my 'mistress'? If I keep seeing her so often, my wife is bound to find out. Even if I had a hundred mouths, I couldn't explain it," Karter said hesitantly.

After a brief silence, Damon said, "You've been wanting to land the Zigler Group's project, right? Tomorrow, I'll arrange a meeting with Mr. Zigler. Whether you get the project or not depends on you."

Upon hearing this, Karter instantly felt lighter. His back stopped aching, his legs no longer hurt, and he set aside his worries about his wife finding out.

After all, he'd had plenty of mistresses in the past—what difference would one more make?

"Thanks, Mr. Sumner! You're a true lifesaver!" he chirped.

Damon hung up without another word.

Karter didn't care. As long as he could benefit from Damon, that was all that mattered.

In Charlotte's living room…

Brandon sat across from her with an icy expression.

"Charlotte, you've really lost your mind. Do you know Tom is targeting the Sumner Group and Prospectus Technology right now? And here you are, in cahoots with him. Uncle Damon won't let you off the hook for this," he said sharply.

Charlotte sneered. "I'm doing this because Uncle Damon forced me into it. If he had helped me, I wouldn't need to cooperate with the Genge Group. He doesn't want to help, but should I let my company go under just for the sake of family?"

Because she was a woman, Richard had handed her a struggling company, while the profitable ones had gone to Clark and Brandon. Even Damon only supported Brandon and refused to assist her.

Charlotte was utterly disappointed with the Sumners. She wouldn't ask Damon for help again. She would carve her own path and prove that she could succeed without relying on anyone.

Seeing that Charlotte wouldn't listen, Brandon gave up trying to persuade her. He stood up.

"It's your choice, but you'd better think carefully. Can you handle the consequences?" he asked pointedly.

Richard had only given Charlotte a small subsidiary company. If it went bankrupt, she would have nothing.

"If you won't help me, then don't tell me what to do," she shot back.

Brandon sighed and turned to leave. Persuading Charlotte seemed futile. He'd have to talk to Damon again.
