Upgrading My Ex to His Uncle Chapter 187

Besides, Harrison had never seen a secretary who dared to address her employer by name.

"Clark, I may be old, but I'm not a fool! Do you think that just because the Jaystons are down, we'll put up with whatever you do to my daughter?"

Clark frowned. "Dad, you're not well. Let me take you back to your room so we can talk this through."

He reached out to help Harrison, but the latter pushed him away. "Don't touch me! Give me back my phone. I told you to call Nyla over. You will explain everything to her face-to-face!"

"Dad, this is a matter of life and death. Can't you stop making a scene?" Clark said.

Seeing the impatience in Clark's eyes, Harrison sneered. "I must have been blind to your true nature! Don't bother calling me 'Dad' anymore. I'll make sure Nyla divorces you."

With that, Harrison turned and walked away. After just a few steps, he suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness.

…

Nyla was awakened by the phone ringing in the middle of the night.

By the time she hurried to the hospital, it was after 1:00 a.m.

"Wren, what happened? Why did Dad suddenly faint? And why is Clark here?"

Wren scoffed. "You should ask him yourself. He was just caught hugging and comforting that woman in front of your father."

Had she known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have called Harrison out for a walk when he couldn't sleep.

When they reached the small garden downstairs, they saw Clark rushing into the hospital building. Harrison, worried that something had happened to Nyla, had followed, only to witness the scene.

Nyla turned to Clark, her eyes icy. "Clark, is it really that hard for you to control yourself? You had to be out there hugging Jordyn? How can you still have the nerve?"

Clark was already boiling with frustration, and Nyla's accusations only made his gaze turn colder. "Jordyn's father is in surgery. I saw her distress and was just trying to comfort her."

Nyla snickered. "When my father was in surgery, you wouldn't even come to a company meeting. But now that Jordyn's father is having surgery, you're rushing to the hospital in the middle of the night to comfort her.

"If you care about her so much, I'll make sure you get what you want. I'll personally tell your grandparents about Jordyn's pregnancy tomorrow morning."

Clark's face darkened. "How dare you?!"

If she revealed this to Richard, he'd be forced out of the Sumner Group.

"You're being so obvious. Even if I don't say anything, it won't stay hidden for long. I'm tired. Let's just end this," Nyla said.

She had repeatedly told Clark that Harrison's condition couldn't handle any more stress, but he never took it seriously. Ultimately, it was because he didn't care about her.

Clark began, "I've said I won't divorce you. Also, don't forget about the kidney donation—"

Before he could finish, Wren interrupted, "What kidney donation? Nyla, has a kidney been found for your father?"

Nyla's hands clenched at her sides. Seeing Wren's hopeful look, she pressed her lips together and slowly replied, "He said they found one."

Clark spoke in a serious tone. "Nyla, don't forget that I'm helping find a kidney for your father because you're my wife and he's my father-in-law. If you divorce me, that kidney will go to someone else."
