Jordyn's eyes widened in shock.
"Who are you?! What nonsense are you talking about?" she cried out.
A light laugh came through on the other end of the line. "Whether it's nonsense or not, you know in your heart. If I don't see you in an hour, be prepared to face the consequences."
The call ended with a click, snapping Jordyn out of her daze. Her mind raced as she paced anxiously in the living room.
She had already dealt with Holden Vance, so there shouldn't be anyone else who knew about this. How could the caller possibly know?
If Clark discovered that the child wasn't his, he would certainly not let her off easily.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
There was no time to dwell on it. Palate Royale was at least a half-hour drive away. Regardless of whether the caller had real evidence, she had no choice but to go there.
Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Jordyn grabbed her car keys and headed out.
…
Forty minutes later, Jordyn pulled up to the entrance of Palate Royale. As soon as she approached the door, a server came over.
"Ms. Cheatham, let me show you in," the server said with a polite smile.
In a well-tailored suit, the server kept his hands neatly clasped in front of him.
Palate Royale was a high-end restaurant in Saintornia.
Clark had brought Jordyn there once for a business meeting. Back then, when they were just superior and subordinate, she had been stunned by the price of a single appetizer—it was equivalent to several months of her salary.
Having just graduated and never been to a high-end restaurant before, she had been completely unfamiliar with dining etiquette. The meal had been a disaster 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....
