“You’ll understand once you read it, Ms. Jayston,” Pete said.
If what he had discovered hadn’t been significant, he wouldn’t have met with Nyla in person.
As Nyla opened the file, her expression quickly turned grim. She asked, ” Are you sure this information is accurate?”
Pete nodded confidently and replied, “Of course, Ms. Jayston. I wouldn’t charge such a high fee if I weren’t certain of the value of my findings.”
Closing the file, Nyla inquired, “Can you find concrete evidence that Cyrus orchestrated the accident?”
The documents Pete provided revealed that after the bankruptcy of Harris Pharmaceuticals, Godric received a large sum of money and died mysteriously within a year. Before his death, he had contacted Cyrus.
While these connections implicated Cyrus in the accident six years ago, there was no direct evidence linking him to it. For Nyla, direct evidence
was crucial.
“I can, but it will take some time. The Sumner family’s influence in Saintornia is substantial. If we investigate too openly, we risk being discovered quickly. We’ll have to proceed cautiously,” Pete cautioned.
“That’s fine. This isn’t urgent. Take your time and let me know if there are any updates,” Nyla agreed.
With their discussion concluded, Pete stood up and said, “Ms. Jayston, I have other matters to attend to tonight. I’ll take my leave.”
“Thank you for your efforts,” Nyla replied.
“You’re welcome,” Pete said, then left.

Nyla remained in the private room for another half hour before leaving.
Meanwhile, on the second floor, Nathaniel watched Damon silently drink glass after glass with a grim expression and raised an eyebrow.
“Damon, are you really heartbroken?”
When Damon had just started his company and faced bankruptcy several times due to others‘ schemes, he never appeared this upset.
Damon shot Nathaniel a cold look, said nothing, and took another sip of
his drink.
Nathaniel turned to Caleb, who was sitting nearby. “Caleb, aren’t you going to say something? If he keeps drinking like this, he’ll end up in the hospital.”
Caleb’s expression remained indifferent. “One less drinker, one less problem.”
Nathaniel was speechless. What a friend. He glanced down at the dance floor and suddenly said, “Hey, isn’t that your niece–in–law?”
Damon paused his drinking and looked in the direction Nathaniel pointed. It was indeed Nyla.
At that moment, she was being accosted by a drunken man, her face showing extreme displeasure.
Damon set down his glass and stood up, only to sit back down again. He addressed the manager standing nearby with cold detachment. “Is your bar’s security so poor that people don’t feel safe here?”
The bar manager broke into a cold sweat and quickly said, “Mr. Sumner, I’ll handle it right away.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
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....
