Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)

Cindy was so agitated that her words were incredibly harsh as if she were finally releasing all the pent-up emotions of the past few years. Richard was so furious that his face turned purple. He trembled as he pointed at her before collapsing.

The maid was taken aback and hurriedly called for a doctor, also contacting Brandon.

With Clark missing, Damon unlikely to come, and neither Cyrus nor Cindy attending to Richard, there was no choice but to summon Brandon.

...

When Brandon arrived, Richard was still in surgery.

Cyrus and Cindy were there, their grim expressions revealing little emotion.

He greeted them briefly and then turned to the maid. "What happened? Why did Grandpa suddenly faint again?"

The maid glanced nervously at Cyrus and Cindy, hesitating to speak.

It was easy to infer that Richard's collapse was somehow related to them.

Brandon turned to Cyrus. "Uncle Cyrus, what's going on? What did you do to Grandpa?"

Cyrus remained silent, his gaze dark.

When Richard had fainted moments ago, a thought had crossed Cyrus' mind: maybe it wouldn't be so bad if Richard died. After all, he could inherit Richard's fortune if that happened. Aside from Richard's shares, his cash and property alone would be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

As for Clark, Cyrus would save him if possible. If not, there was nothing he could do.

When Clark had first suggested kidnapping Mason, Cyrus had advised against it, but he hadn't listened. It wasn't his fault now. Cindy scoffed. "What could we possibly do to him? He fainted because of his poor health. Are we supposed to take the blame?" Brandon already had a poor impression of Cindy, so he involuntarily frowned. Despite this, he chose not to say anything further. After all, he'd find out what happened once Richard's surgery was over.

This time, Richard's surgery took an unusually long time, lasting over ten hours before the lights in the operating room finally went out.

The doctor stepped out, looking serious. "Mr. Richard's condition is quite severe. He may suffer from paralysis. You all need to be mentally prepared."

Brandon's eyes widened in disbelief. "Doctor, how could my grandfather's condition suddenly worsen like this? He was said to be recovering just a few days ago."

The doctor frowned, sounding irritated. told you before that he shouldn't be stimulated, and look at what you've done! If it happens again, not even the best doctors can save him!"

With that, the doctor left without further comment.

Brandon turned to Cyrus and Cindy, who had been silent. His voice was icy. "Uncle Cyrus, I doubt Grandpa will want to see you when he wakes up, so please leave now!"

He had known all along that Cyrus and Cindy were only around Richard for his shares, but he hadn't expected them to provoke him while he was still weak.

No matter what happened, Richard was still their father. How could they do something like this?

Cyrus scowled. "Brandon, you're not in a position to teach me a lesson or tell me what to do. I'll wait for Dad to wake up before I leave."
