Semua Bab Trading My Ex for His Uncle: Bab 401 - Bab 410

"Part of it is because of that, but the main reason is that I have something more important to do," Nyla replied.Melody sounded a bit disappointed. "I don't know if the new research scientist will be easy to get along with..."Nyla smiled and gently reassured her, "No matter how the new person is, just focus on doing a good job yourself.""That's all we can do," Melody remarked.…In the afternoon, Nyla went to Prospectus Technology to pack up her things.The new drug researcher hadn't arrived yet, so Melody was taking a break from experiments and reading literature in the office.Just as Nyla was about to leave, Melody hugged her tightly. "Nyla, even if you've resigned, we have to keep in touch!"Seeing Melody's reluctance, Nyla nodded. "Okay. I probably won't be able to help you with pursuing Gabriel, but good luck.""Alright," Melody replied.After saying goodbye to Melody, Nyla was about to leave when the office door was suddenly pushed open.They both looked up to see

Nyla walked to the door and looked through the peephole, surprised to see Gabriel. They had just parted ways not long ago—why was he back?As Nyla hesitated whether to open the door, Gabriel's deep voice came from outside. "Nyla, after I got home, I suddenly remembered a detail that might be related to the data leak."Nyla's expression tensed. She opened the door slightly and asked, "What detail?"Gabriel's gaze hardened as Nyla had only cracked the door open and hadn't invited him in."Once, when Melody and I were having dinner, she received a call midway through and then mentioned she had left something in the lab and rushed off. I thought, with work the next day, what could be so urgent that she needed to go back that night?" Gabriel suggested.A flicker of realization crossed Nyla's face. "If she went back to copy the data and give it to Contelligence, she probably wouldn't have told you she was going to the lab. She'd likely have used some other excuse."Gabriel looked down,

Not long after Nyla's car hit the road, she sensed something was amiss. She deliberately changed directions several times, but the black car continued to follow her.She frowned in concern. It was clear that the unmarked car was tailing her.After a moment of consideration, she decided to turn around and head in the opposite direction from her home.…About ten minutes later, Nyla parked her car in front of the police station.The car following her finally realized something was wrong and tried to leave, but the police quickly stopped it.Officers swiftly detained the occupant of the car.Only after confirming her safety did Nyla get out of her vehicle."Ms. Jayston, please come with us to make a statement," an officer requested.Nyla nodded and glanced at the person being led into the police station. He appeared to be in his early 20s, with a square face and plain features—one of those faces that blended into a crowd.Nyla was certain she had never seen him before.The man

"Alright. I understand," Pete answered.After hanging up, Nyla sat on the sofa, contemplating who could be behind the situation. Whoever knew about the Harris Pharmaceuticals incident and could track down Steven to use him against her must hold significant power.When Valarie emerged from the bathroom, she noticed Nyla staring off into space on the sofa. She walked over and waved her hand in front of Nyla's face. "What's got you so lost in thought?"Nyla snapped out of her reverie, shook her head, and stood up. "Nothing much. Let's go."…On the other side, Nathaniel was fuming when he learned that Steven's tracking had been discovered."What's he doing? He was caught right away—what a useless fool!" he scolded.His secretary kept their head down, waiting for Nathaniel to calm down before cautiously suggesting, "Mr. Preston, it might be best to stop Steven from tracking Nyla any further. Otherwise, it could lead back to us."Nathaniel's expression remained grim.After a long p

Seeing Nyla's change in expression, Damon asked, "What's wrong? Did you remember something?""Mr. Sumner, I need to check on something. I'll head back now," Nyla said.As she turned to leave, Damon's gaze grew serious. He stood up suddenly and grabbed her wrist, speaking softly. "Nyla, you can rely on me. I've made things clear with Rebecca, and we've broken up. I hope you can give me a chance to protect you."His words were earnest, but Nyla pulled her hand away as if she had been pricked."Mr. Sumner, from the moment we broke up, there's no going back. Whether you've broken up with Rebecca or not, I won't reconsider," she said.With that, Nyla turned and walked out.Watching her leave, Damon slowly tightened his fists, his expression showing a hint of defeat. He knew Nyla was deeply disappointed in him and wouldn't easily give him another chance.…After leaving Damon's office, Nyla went straight to find Melody.The lab had been busy recently, and Nyla usually skipped lunch.
