"Maybe," Nyla answered.
Damon released her and stepped back, his expression returning to its usual coldness.
"Alright. I won't bother you again until I've sorted things out with Rebecca," he promised.
After Nyla left, Damon dialed an international number. "How's the investigation progressing?"
"Mr. Sumner, we're still looking into it. However, Ms. Austen's previous hospital was a private facility with strict privacy protections, so I haven't been able to access her medical records yet," the other party reported.
"I want results within three days!" Damon barked.
After ending the call, Damon set his phone down, his eyes icy with frustration. Rebecca had better not be lying to him!
Spencer knocked and entered the office with several documents. "Mr. Sumner, these are the files for this afternoon's meeting."
"Mm." Damon glanced up and said in a low voice, "Send someone to keep an eye on Clark. Make sure he doesn't get a chance to approach Nyla again."
Spencer hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously. "Mr. Sumner, what about today's events? If Prospectus Technology offers a 10% discount, there will be no profit at all."
Damon's expression remained frosty. "Of course, this matter isn't over."
"Understood," Spencer replied.
As he left the office, he immediately dispatched someone to monitor Clark.
…
Rebecca was sitting on the sofa, knitting a scarf in the living room of Damon's villa when her phone rang.
Upon seeing the number, her expression darkened. She picked up the phone and walked to the end of the hallway.
"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you not to contact me again? I'm back in the country. I will not return to Meristate, nor will I be threatened by you!" She deliberately lowered her voice, but her disgust and impatience were unmistakable.

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....
