The other party smirked. “The money will be transferred to you tonight. You know what to do with the
report.”
“Don’t worry. I understand how things work when money is involved.”
“Pleasure working with you,” the other party replied.
The day before Nyla’s discharge, Pete finally replied to her message.
Nyla planned to meet him after leaving the hospital, but this time they arranged to meet at a café rather
than a bar.
When Nyla saw Pete, she was taken aback. Although it had only been a short whille, Pete was visibly injured–his left hand was in a cast, and he had a crutch beside him.
“Mr. Monaghan… How did you get hurt? Was it related to the investigation?” she asked.
Pete handed her a USB drive and said in a low voice, “Ms. Jayston, this is all I could find. I can’t Investigate further. It’s too dangerous.”
Noticing Pete’s reluctance to discuss his injuries, Nyla decided not to press the issue. She accepted the USB drive with a nod.
“Understood. I’ll transfer your payment shortly. Thank you for your hard work during this time. I’m sorry about your injuries,” Nyla said.
Pete said nothing more. He stood up and added, “Ms. Jayston, I’ll be leaving now.”
Shortly after he departed, he received a notification of a payment. Checking his phone, he saw that Nyla had sent him triple the amount.
After a moment of hesitation, he sent her a message.
Pete. Ms. Jayston, this matter is more complicated than you think. I advise you to stop investigating. Cherish your peaceful life.]
Seeing Pete’s message, Nyla pursed her lips.
This issue involved Cyrus, and the Sumner family’s influence was deeply rooted in the city. Targeting Cyrus would inevitably impact the entire Sumner family. Once the Sumners noticed, they would not let her off easily. She had no means to counter their power.
Nyla’s grip on the USB drive tightened, her knuckles turning white, but her eyes showed no trace of hesitation.
The accident had not only bankrupted Harris Pharmaceuticals but had also claimed the lives of over 20 workers, devastating their families. Meanwhile, the culprits had escaped justice, living lives of luxury.
Why should this be allowed?
Even if she failed, she had to try with all her might. She could no longer live in ignorance.

Nyla sent a message.
Nyla: [Mr. Monaghan, thank you, but this is the only path I have.]
After sending the message, she paid and went home.
At the villa, Nyla copied the files from the USB drive to her computer. After reviewing the contents, she decided to focus on Clement.
Among the evidence Pete had collected were numerous criminal records linked to Clement, who had connections with Cyrus. It appeared Clement had been working behind the scenes for Cyrus all these
years.

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....
