Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1356

"I just wanted to see if you'd tell me the truth. Now I know—you don't trust me," Jayden said.

Michelle cried, "Fine! I admit it. I sent Stefan after Valarie. I wanted him to ruin her relationship with Brandon! Go ahead and tell Brandon if you want! I don't care!"

She stood, ready to leave.

Before she reached the door, Jayden's voice echoed behind her.

"I won't tell Brandon," he said. "But I won't help you anymore, either. There's still time to stop this. You can walk away now."

Michelle's footsteps faltered momentarily, but she didn't turn back. She had never regretted her choices—why would she stop now?

As long as she could have Brandon in the end, she wouldn't give up.

If Jayden refused to help, she'd just have to figure it out on her own.

…

That evening, as Valarie got off work, she received a call from Nyla.

"Valarie, come over for dinner tonight! Oh, and by the way, I sent you a thank-you gift last night. Make sure you accept it," Nyla said.

Valarie had seen Nyla's money transfer that morning but hadn't planned to accept it. She had meant to tell her but had been too busy to remember.

"Sure, I'll come over. But there's no need for the money. We're friends—why be so formal?" Valarie said.

…

When she arrived at the villa and stepped out of her car, she ran into Brandon.

After what he'd said to her that morning, she had no interest in talking to him.

Without a word, they walked inside together.

The moment Valarie saw Nyla, she headed straight to her and sat beside her.
