Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1377

Waiting for someone who would never reciprocate was exhausting. Jayden was done humbling himself.

Brad froze, staring at Jayden in disbelief. "Jayden, what do you mean? Didn't you say you'd do whatever it takes to get Michelle out?"

"Mr. Snowden, the evidence against her is solid. She instigated Stefan to kidnap Valarie. The only way out of this is if Brandon and Valarie agree to sign a letter of leniency.

"If they refuse, there's nothing I can do. You can't expect me to go up against both the Sumner and Weir Groups just for Michelle."

If Michelle had ever loved him, maybe he would have done it.

But now? He wouldn't waste his time and energy on someone who didn't deserve it.

"Then… what about Michelle?" Brad asked.

"Michelle may not get out, but Stefan turned himself in. That counts as voluntary surrender, so he'll likely get a lighter sentence.

"From what I know, Stefan is studying economics in university. Honestly, does it really matter who inherits the Snowden Group as long as it's one of your own?"

With that, Jayden walked past Brad and left.

Brad stood frozen for a long time before finally turning around and getting into his car. "Take me to the police station."

…

Ever since her arrest, Michelle had been certain her father would find a way to get her out. She wasn't afraid.

This wasn't the first time she had made a mistake. In the past, she had done worse, yet her father had always smoothed things over. This time would be no different.

She waited in the interrogation room until, finally, her father arrived.
