Trading My Ex for His Uncle

As soon as they reached the door, a dozen police officers surged in.

The situation unfolded so quickly that Cyrus was still in shock, his face reflecting fear and anger, when he was pinned to the ground.

"Let me go! Do you know who I am?!" Cyrus growled.

"No matter who you are, you're under arrest for kidnapping. We are taking you into custody!" one of the officers declared.

Cyrus glared at Nyla with a look of deep hatred. "Nyla, you set me up!"

He had been very discreet, keeping his plans to kidnap Nyla a secret from everyone except his trusted associates. The swift arrival of the police meant that Nyla must have known about the kidnapping in advance and set a trap for him.

His eyes burned with rage. It was as if he wanted to tear her apart.

Nyla, pale and frightened, looked at him with wide eyes. "You're insane! You're the one who kidnapped me. How could I possibly force you to do anything?"

Yet, Cyrus caught a fleeting glint of satisfaction and coldness in her eyes.

"Just wait! I won't let you get away with this!" he snarled.

Nyla hid behind one of the officers, looking innocent and fearful.

Furious and realizing he had been caught off guard, Cyrus was soon taken away with his men.

As Nyla exited the warehouse, Pete hurried over to her. "Ms. Jayston, are you alright?"

Nyla shook her head. "I'm fine. Mr. Monaghan, please take me to the police station. I need to give my statement."

Pete nodded. "Of course."

Once they were in the car, Pete expressed his concern. "Ms. Jayston, we were fortunate that the police arrived in time. Otherwise, things could have turned out very differently..." Nyla smiled, no longer displaying the fear and anxiety she had shown earlier when the police arrived.

"Mr. Monaghan, I trust you and appreciate that you warned me about Cyrus' plans to kidnap me," she replied.

Pete looked somewhat resigned. He had intended to advise her to be cautious of Cyrus, not to encourage her to set a trap that would add kidnapping charges to Cyrus' crimes.

"Ms. Jayston, is it really worth

risking your life like this? If you had just handed over the evidence to the police, Cyrus would have ended up in prison anyway," Pete asked.

Nyla glanced down for a moment before responding softly. "It's worth it to me. I consulted a lawyer, and the evidence would only lead to an economic crime charge. With some influence from the Sumners, Cyrus might have avoided jail time altogether. I want to ensure that he faces absolute certainty."

Pete sighed. "You were lucky this time. I hope you won't risk your life like this again. Your life is the most important thing."

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Monaghan," Nyla said.

As Pete started the car, he added, "I'm still investigating who sent you that document and will let you know once I find out."

"Thank you for your hard work," Nyla said.

"Anytime," Pete replied.

Pete left after taking Nyla to the police station.

...

The Sumners quickly learned of Cyrus' arrest and arrived at the station while Nyla was still giving her statement. They attempted to bail Cyrus out but were unsuccessful.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As Nyla finished her statement and walked out of the room, she saw Richard, Marie, and Cindy among others.

The moment they saw her, their faces turned grim.

Cindy, in particular, rushed up and slapped Nyla. "You jinx! You called the police and had your father arrested! Are you crazy?! You'd better explain to the police that this is all a misunderstanding!"
