Caroline couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She turned back to Nyla with a questioning look, but Nyla showed no reaction.
Nyla simply said, "Let's go. We're going to be late for our reservation."
With that, Nyla took Caroline by the arm and headed toward the parking lot, offering no further explanation.
Rebecca bit her lip, unable to resist glancing at Damon.
When she saw his gaze fixed on Nyla's departing figure, she dug her nails into her palms. Jealousy bloomed like wild grass in her heart, intensifying her dislike for Nyla.
She lowered her eyes, masking her emotions perfectly.
"Damon... Ms. Lovell is good friends with Ms. Jayston. Ms. Jayston doesn't like me. Do you think she'll speak poorly of me to Ms. Lovell? If Ms. Lovell starts to dislike me too..." she muttered.
Her hesitant tone caused Damon to frown.
"I've already agreed to invest in their lab. Whether she likes you or not, their latest anti-cancer drug will still be available to you," Damon replied.
Rebecca's gaze darkened due to Damon's attempt to defend Nyla, her weak smile betraying her emotions.
"I understand," she said.
Nathaniel, who disliked seeing Rebecca so submissive, spoke up coldly. "If Nyla speaks poorly of you to Caroline, it just shows she's not a good person."
As soon as he said that, he felt the temperature drop. He looked up to see Damon's dark, stormy eyes and frowned.
"Damon, did I say something wrong?" Nathaniel asked.

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....
