Semua Bab Trading My Ex for His Uncle: Bab 421 - Bab 430

Melody stood frozen for a moment, stunned by Nyla's questions.After a long pause, she finally spoke. "Does it really matter? As long as you know I did it, isn't that enough?""Of course it matters. When the police come, they'll ask for these details too. If your answers don't match Contelligence's, it will be clear someone else is behind this," Nyla replied.If Contelligence had been interested in Prospectus Technology's research data from the start, they wouldn't have made it public. They'd know it would lead to a lawsuit. The fact that they released it meant they never intended to keep it. Their goal was simply to target Prospectus Technology.More importantly, Nyla had checked the security footage after growing suspicious of Melody. Melody had been delivering meals to her from the cafeteria every day, and the surveillance had never cut out. There had been no opportunity for her to drug Nyla's food or drink.Melody bit her lip and took a deep breath. "Then I'll answer those q

Nyla lowered her gaze to the soup bubbling in the pot and fell silent.The kitchen was quiet, save for the sound of Damon chopping vegetables and the faint hum of the range hood.When Damon finished slicing the potatoes, Nyla glanced at him. "You can go sit in the living room. I'll handle the rest."Their relationship wasn't the kind where they should be cooking together. Nyla was already starting to regret not turning him away at the door.Damon stared at her for a few seconds before nodding. "Alright."Once he left the kitchen, Nyla breathed a sigh of relief. She poured the soup into a bowl, quickly washed the pot, and began stir-frying the potatoes.About ten minutes later, she brought the dishes out, surprised to find Damon asleep on the sofa. She instinctively softened her footsteps.After setting the table, Nyla hesitated to wake him. In the end, she decided to give him another 30 minutes. If he was still asleep by then, she'd wake him.Fortunately, Damon woke on his own

Damon stood protectively in front of Nyla, shielding her from Gabriel. All she could see was the back of his head, but the panic inside her began to fade slowly.Instinctively, she grasped the back of his suit jacket, her eyes filling with tears.Thank goodness he had returned. Otherwise, who knew what Gabriel might have done to her?Damon glared at Gabriel, his jaw clenched, exuding an icy, intimidating aura.Meanwhile, Gabriel had completely shed his usual gentle demeanor. He returned Damon's glare with nothing but hostility and contempt."Mr. Sumner, juggling getting back together with your ex while messing around with Nyla... The men in your family are all the same, aren't they?" Gabriel sneered."You're in no position to lecture me. Get lost," Damon shot back, his voice cold and cutting.Instead of responding, Gabriel turned his gaze to Nyla behind Damon. "Nyla, I won't give up that easily.""If you ever come near her again, I'll make sure you regret it!" Damon's voice was

Damon's jaw was clenched, and his hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that they turned white.Nyla turned her head away, feeling a wave of bitterness welling up inside her.From the moment he chose Rebecca, any possibility between them had disappeared. So why was he acting like this now? Who was he trying to convince?He had saved her tonight, and she was genuinely grateful. She even felt a bit softened toward him. However, she knew deep down that the gap between them couldn't be bridged just by liking each other.She also didn't want to experience the heart-wrenching pain of watching someone she loved walk away with someone else again."Mr. Sumner, I appreciate your help, but it's really not necessary," Nyla said.They had broken up, and she didn't want to owe Damon any more than she already did.Damon abruptly braked and pulled the car over to the side of the road. He turned to face her, his gaze filled with restraint and frustration."Nyla, can you stop being so stub

Nathaniel cut her off. "If you really don't want to upset me, then go public about your breakup with Damon right now and announce our relationship."Rebecca fell silent, frustration and hesitation flashing in her eyes.She couldn't understand why Nathaniel, who had always been so accommodating, was suddenly pushing her like this.She had just told Damon that she and Nathaniel were only friends. If she turned around and made their relationship public, how would Damon perceive her?"Nathaniel, do you really have to force me?" she asked.Nathaniel chuckled. "Rebecca, it's because you've never given me any security in this relationship that we're at this point. Either you make it public or never show up in front of me again. If I don't see an announcement by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, I'll assume you've made your choice."Before she could respond, he hung up.Rebecca frantically tried to call him back several times, but he didn't answer. It was clear—he was forcing her to choose.She was
