The suffocating sensation gripped Jane like a vice. Her face flushed as she reached up, struggling to pry Gabriel's hand off her. Her efforts, however, were futile.
Gabriel's smile deepened as he watched the pain twist her expression. "The Wilkies have already abandoned you. If you know what's good for you, sign the divorce papers, take the compensation I'm offering, and leave. Otherwise, you'll walk away with nothing."
He released her, tossing her aside carelessly like discarded trash. Without sparing her another glance, he turned and walked away.
Just as Gabriel was about to return to his work in the study, his phone rang. It was Wren.
"Gabriel, your stepfather's company is in trouble… He's threatening to divorce me now… What should I do?!" Wren's voice was frantic, panic clear in her tone.
"What does his company's trouble have to do with his wanting a divorce?" Gabriel asked, his voice cool and uninterested.
Wren gritted her teeth, clearly reluctant. "I caused a scene at Prospectus Technology, and now Damon knows about it. Prospectus has pulled all collaborations with his company…"
Gabriel didn't even look up, his tone indifferent. "What you should be doing right now is apologizing to Nyla, not calling me for advice."
The silence on the other end was telling.
If Wren had been willing to apologize, she wouldn't have called him in the first place.
"You want me to apologize to Nyla?" Her voice dripped with disbelief.
"You went to Prospectus Technology and caused trouble. Doesn't that warrant an apology to Nyla?" Gabriel replied flatly.
"Don't you have a big company? Just a word from you, and Raymond's company will survive this crisis—"

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
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....
