The crowd turned in shock at the sound of the new voice.
They had been expecting a wealthy heir from Saintornia, but instead, a young man stood before them—someone they didn't recognize.
Murmurs rippled through the room.
"Who is that? I've never seen him before."
"No idea, but anyone bold enough to bid 20,000,000 dollars must be important."

Next to Gabriel, Melody was so shocked that her phone slipped from her hand, clattering to the floor.
She whispered, "Gabriel, are you crazy? Where are you getting that kind of money?"
"Don't worry. If I'm making an offer, I can afford it," Gabriel replied confidently.
Damon glanced over his shoulder at Gabriel, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
Their gazes locked, and for a brief moment, the air between them crackled with unspoken tension.
Valarie, equally stunned, quickly turned to Nyla. "Nyla, your brother's been abroad for years. When did he get so rich? I should've gone abroad too."
Nyla was at a loss for words. She was just as shocked by Gabriel's sudden bid. After all, he'd only been renting a place since returning from abroad. He didn't seem to possess such vast wealth.

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....
