Wren froze in disbelief. "Nyla, are you really this heartless? Even though your father and I divorced, you and Gabriel were siblings for years. Can you really stand to see his life destroyed?"
Taking a deep breath, Nyla locked eyes with her. "His life is ruined because he chose the wrong path. That has nothing to do with me. Please leave. Don't come back—I won't see you again."
With that, she shut the door and walked back to the living room.
Outside, Wren stared at the closed door, her face pale and her expression increasingly desperate.
Her phone buzzed in her bag.
When she answered, an impatient voice barked through the line. "Wren, where are you? Get to the courthouse now and finalize the divorce!"
Before she could respond, the caller hung up.
Still holding the phone, Wren stood there, dazed.
Why... Why had her life—and Gabriel's—fallen apart so suddenly?
…
Tom snorted when he heard about Gabriel's arrest. "Idiot!"
If Gabriel hadn't foolishly tried to abduct Nyla and Mason to flee abroad, he wouldn't have ended up in prison. It served him right.
The downside was that with Gabriel in prison, Nyce Tech would soon collapse, leaving Tom without a pawn. He needed to expedite finding a backup plan.
Upon thinking of Drake's ruthlessness, Tom's expression darkened.
After some contemplation, he made up his mind, took a deep breath, and instructed his butler to prepare the car.
An hour later, he entered Damon's office at Prospectus Technology.

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....
