Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 141

A cold gleam flashed across Tom's eyes. Was Jacqueline being used by Erin? Although he didn't agree with Jacqueline's actions, she did them for his sake.

"Don't do this kind of thing again. Damon is ruthless and never shows mercy. Going against him will only lead to trouble," he warned her.

Seeing Tom's stern expression, Jacqueline bit her lip and cautiously said, "Tom, Ms. Jayston wasn't hurt at all. If I just apologized, it would be over. But she refused to let me off. Could it be because of Ms. Weir?"

Tom narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You mean she did it to get back at you for Valarie?"

"Aside from that, I can't think of any other reason why she would be so relentless," Jacqueline replied.

Nyla and Valarie were good friends, and Valarie had misunderstood Tom's relationship with Jacqueline. If Nyla was teaching Jacqueline a lesson on Valarie's behalf, it would make sense.

Seeing Tom's grim face and silence, Jacqueline didn't say anything more. She knew that speaking too much could backfire.

After a long minute, Tom finally said coldly, "I'll take you home first."

Jacqueline knew when to play nice around Tom, so she nodded obediently. "Okay."

…

Nyla stayed at the auction until the end, but the person she was looking for never showed up.

This person was once a senior executive at Harris Pharmaceuticals and had moved to another company after its bankruptcy. He had been involved in investigating the accident back then and knew more than others.
