Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Clark's expression turned sour as he demanded, "Dad, didn't you hear Grandpa's warning just now? Or is a brother who abandoned you more importa than your own son?"

Cyrus sighed. "I just want to talk to the doctor about the likelihood of Damon successfully recovering

his memory. And no matter what, he's still your uncle."

"Uncle? He's not even a part of the Sumners!" an angry voice said from the doorway.

Cyrus and Clark turned their heads.

Cyrus glared at Cindy as she approached. He scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting? Isn't the family chaotic enough already?"

Cindy scoffed and sat across from them. "Clark, do you remember when I told you that your uncle doesn't have the right to compete with you for the Sumner Group?"

Clark nodded. "Yes. What do you mean by saying he isn't part of the Sumners?"

Cyrus was angry. "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. I think she's been idle for too long and lost her mind. How could I not know whether Damon Cindy smirked, her tone laced with sarcasm.

At least, no one openly questioned whether Damon was truly a Sumner.

When Damon went on to start his own company-Prospectus Technology-

and became a powerful figure in the city, no one dared to bring up his background again.

"What's really going on? Explain yourself!" Cyrus demanded.

Cindy glanced at him. "Weren't you just doubting me earlier? Why believe me now?"

Anger flashed in Cyrus' eyes. "Are you going to tell me or not? If not, keep quiet forever!"

shrugged. “I overheard your parents arguing once. Apparently, when they were abroad, Damon's parents saved their lives. Out of the three of them, or

actually develop feelings for him and

treat him like their real son, even planning to hand over the company to him? It's ridiculous!"

As Cindy finished speaking, the living room fell silent.

Cyrus was filled with disbelief, yet deep down, he felt she might be right.

Next to him, Clark's face darkened. The thought that his grandfather would rather give the company to an outsider than to him was infuriating.
