Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Chapter 653



Damon kept a poker face as he said, "I'll give you three seconds. If you don't talk, I'll personally send you abroad to collect your son's corpse." A flash of panic crossed the man's face, and his voice trembled with fear. "I'll tell you... I'll tell you... They all went up the mountain..."

"You better not be lying to me. Otherwise, you'll regret ever being born," Damon threatened.

He left a few people behind to watch the man and led the majority of his team up the mountain.

At the back of the flour mill loomed a medium-sized mountain.

With deep autumn approaching, the leaves of the shrubs and trees had begun to turn yellow and fall, making the area feel desolate and abandoned.

Damon's expression was grim, and he emanated a chilling aura.

Meanwhile, Nyla had searched the flour mill for a long time but hadn't found Mason. Instead, she ran into Damon's subordinates.

"Ms. Kinsey... what are you doing here?" one of the subordinates asked.

"Where's Damon?" Nyla shot back.

"We just caught one of the kidnappers. Mr. Sumner is currently—"

Before he could finish his sentence, his colleague yanked him back.

Realization struck him, and he quickly shook his head. "I've been here looking for Mr. Mason. I don't know where Mr. Sumner went..."

"Do you know something? Has something happened to Buddy?" Nyla asked anxiously.

Panic filled Nyla her usual calm demeanor had completely vanished.

Mason was still in danger, and she had no idea if the kidnappers would find him first. She struggled to remain composed.

"No... we still haven't found Mr. Mason..." Damon's subordinate said.

"Then why were you hesitating just now? If you have news, please tell me. I'm begging you!" Nyla pleaded.

Seeing Nyla about to kneel in front of them, the two men were startled and quickly reached out to help her up.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

They comforted her, saying, "Ms. Kinsey, please don't do that! Mr. Mason is really fine..."

"If he's fine, then why were you two so hesitant earlier?" Nyla demanded.

"Well... I'll tell you. Mr. Mason might

have escaped to the mountain. Mr. Sumner has gone up there with some people, but the thugs have guns. It's better if you don't go up... Just wait for Mr. Sumner..." Before he could finish, Nyla had already turned and sprinted toward the mountain. to

The two men hurried to catch up. If Damon found out they had let Nyla go up the mountain, they would be in serious trouble. Even though Nyla looked frail, she ran quickly.

The two athletic men struggled to keep pace with her. They were both frantic Mason hadn't been found yet. If anything happened to Nyla, Damon would definitely not spare them. to

"What do we do? We can't catch up with Ms. Kinsey..." one of the men asked anxiously.

"Stop talking nonsense! She's almost out of sight!" the other man exclaimed.

Soon, Nyla vanished from their view.

Gasping for breath, the two men exchanged fearful glances.

"S-Should we notify Mr. Sumner?" one of them asked.

After a moment of silence, the other man replied quietly, "Let's hold off for now. We shouldn't distract Mr. Sumner any more than necessary, and Ms. Kinsey might not get into trouble..." to

They discussed it for a while and decided not to tell Damon. They would first try to find Nyla.

Meanwhile, Nyla began searching for Mason, marking her path as she entered the mountain.

...

After more than two hours of searching, she still hadn't found Mason and had not encountered a single person along the way.

Her heart grew heavier. Mason was so small and might still be injured. If those people found him first...

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She stumbled, lost her footing, and fell.

"Ah!" Nyla screamed as she hit the ground hard, rolling uncontrollably down the mountainside.

Intense pain surged through her, and she desperately grabbed for anything within reach.

Fortunately, the slope she rolled down was dotted with trees, and she crashed into one, finally bringing herself to a halt.
