Melody took the payment slip with a deep breath. "Mom, go back to the ward and take care of Dad. I'll figure out the money."
Her mother looked apologetic and uneasy. "Melody, I'm sorry... We don't have the money, and we're causing you trouble..."
She knew her daughter didn't have that much money either. Apart from borrowing, there seemed to be no other way.
Her mother suggested, "Maybe I can ask your uncle for a loan... You—"
Before she could finish, Melody interrupted, "Mom, we've already borrowed a lot from him for the apartment down payment. We haven't even started repaying it yet, and asking for more might upset my aunt. I'll find a way, so don't worry."
"Alright…" her mother reluctantly agreed.
Melody took the payment slip and went to the end of the hallway to call her classmates and friends.

In the CEO's office of Prospectus Technology, Damon looked grim as he stared at Spencer. "Didn't I tell you that this matter must not be leaked?"
Spencer felt distressed. He had indeed instructed everyone who knew about the data leak to keep it quiet, but he didn't know how so many sensationalist accounts had obtained it.
"Mr. Sumner, I'll look into it immediately," Spencer replied.
"I'm giving you one hour. I don't want to see any more news about this issue within the hour!" Damon ordered.
He then stood up and headed for the door.
Spencer hurried after him. "Mr. Sumner, where are you going? I'll arrange for a car."
"No need. Just take care of the tasks I assigned," Damon answered coldly before leaving.
Once Damon's figure disappeared from view, Spencer let out a sigh of relief and cursed under his breath, wondering who had leaked the information. Whoever it was, he would make sure they paid for it!

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
