Mockery flashed in Connor Bambra's eyes. "Why is it that you can dish it out, but you can't take it?"
Erin stood up, sneering. "You think standing up for Rebecca will get you a partnership with Prospectus Technology? Idiot!"
Although Connor had been thinking along those lines, being called out by Erin before everyone made his face darken with anger.
"I think you're just bitter because you can't get the man you want, and now you're lashing out at everyone," he taunted.
"You—" Erin was livid. She shot to her feet and said coldly, "You'll regret this!"
With that, she spun around and stormed out of the room.
Throughout the ordeal, Damon watched the scene unfold with an indifferent expression, not a hint of emotion on his face.
The room quickly returned to its lively atmosphere, as if nothing had happened.
Despite the apparent calm, Rebecca couldn't shake her unease.
In the past, even if someone spoke ill of her behind her back, Damon would never have let it slide if he found out. Yet just now, Erin had called her a homewrecker to her face, and Damon hadn't even reacted.
It seemed he truly didn't love her anymore. If it weren't for the favor of saving his life, which she used to blackmail him, he probably wouldn't even let her near him. The thought made her chest tighten.
Rebecca stood up and told everyone with a forced smile, "You all keep chatting. I need to use the restroom."
After stepping out of the room, she took a deep breath, hoping to release her frustration with the exhale, but it didn't help.
She walked to the window at the end of the hallway, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it. Her expression was full of irritation.
Whether Damon loved her or not, she had to marry him.
…
Meanwhile, the enraged Erin was about to leave after storming out of the room when she spotted Nyla. Her eyes narrowed as she changed course and headed straight for her.

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....
