Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex! novel Chapter 81

**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond**
by Sage Hunter Lane

Damon’s features hardened, a chill settling over his expression as he fixed his gaze on Erin. “Ms. Hulle,” he began, his voice low and deliberate, “I trust you grasp the gravity of your words.”

Erin met his gaze with a confident smile, unflinching in the face of his cold demeanor. “Oh, I absolutely do, Mr. Sumner. But I wonder if you’ve considered the ramifications of your own actions. You’re coveting your nephew’s wife—imagine the fallout if this were to become public knowledge. You know what would happen to Ms. Nyla.”

Damon’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of anger igniting in their depths. “Are you attempting to threaten me?” he asked, his tone sharp as a knife.

“Not in the slightest,” Erin replied smoothly, her voice steady and calm. “I’m here to offer you assistance.”

Damon arched an eyebrow, skepticism etched across his face. “Oh? And in what manner do you propose to assist me?”

Feeling the icy aura that enveloped him, Erin took a bold step closer, her heart racing. “Mr. Damon, you must understand that even if Ms. Nyla were to divorce your nephew, a future between you two is impossible. However, if you were to align yourself with me, I could help safeguard your secret.”

A chilling laugh escaped Damon’s lips, each syllable laced with disdain. “Ms. Hulle, you should know that I have no interest in you and never will. If this information leaks, Prospectus Technology will sever all ties with Builders Property—immediate cancellation of contracts, and a complete withdrawal of cooperation. I suggest you ponder whether Builders Property can withstand such a blow.”

Erin felt a wave of realization wash over her as she met his unwavering gaze. He was utterly serious. How could he be willing to jeopardize everything that Builders Property had built, all for the sake of Nyla? It was a reckless gamble, one that left her reeling.

An oppressive silence draped over the office, thick and suffocating.

After what felt like an eternity, Erin broke the silence, her voice steady despite the tension. “Rejecting my offer will be the gravest mistake you could make.”

Marrying her would mean seizing control over Builders Property, a power many men would leap at the chance to possess. Yet here stood Damon, ungrateful and resolute.

What stung the most was the bitter taste of defeat against a woman she considered inferior in every conceivable way.

Damon’s expression remained unchanged, a mask of indifference. “Ms. Hulle, I have pressing matters to attend to. You may leave now.”

Erin bit her lip in frustration, turning on her heel and exiting the office, her heart pounding in her chest.
