Nyla glanced away, her expression neutral, and lowered her gaze without saying anything.
Valarie, sounding somewhat aggrieved, remarked, "I really don't understand what Damon sees in her. She dumped him years ago, and now he's getting back with her? It's like he's begging for humiliation!"
Upon thinking about how Damon had left Nyla for Rebecca, Valarie's irritation flared.
"Enough about him. The auction's about to start, and you don't want to miss out on the jewelry you're interested in," Nyla reminded her.
"No worries. The piece I want is the final item," Valarie replied.
While they spoke, Jordyn, who sat diagonally behind them, watched with barely concealed resentment. She placed a hand on her lower abdomen and frowned. "Clark, my stomach hurts a bit. I'm going to the restroom."
Clark's impatience flickered in his eyes. "What's the matter? The auction is about to begin."
Jordyn, who had never been to such an event before, noticed that everyone was dressed casually, and it would be troublesome if she accidentally bumped into someone.
She lowered her eyes. "I'm not sure. Maybe it's just the air conditioning. It feels too cold."
"Be back in ten minutes," Clark requested.
If she hadn't helped him secure a contract with Albert, Clark would never have brought her to such an event, risking embarrassment.
His coldness and impatience made Jordyn feel a pang of disappointment. "Alright."
Jordyn walked toward the restroom. Five minutes later, she emerged with a smile, casually washing her hands at the sink.

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....
