"Also... Rebecca is probably furious tonight. She might even reveal your relationship with Damon," Valarie said, her eyes filled with concern.
She was deeply upset with Damon. Although Nyla and Damon had broken up, he had publicly given her jewelry! As the CEO of Prospectus Technology, no one dared to criticize him openly, but had he considered what Nyla might face as a result?
Valarie was relieved they had broken up. Otherwise, Nyla would have endured even more with such a domineering man.
Nyla pursed her lips and replied calmly, "It's fine. I anticipated something like this might happen when I agreed to be with him."
She had once hoped that when this day came, he would be by her side.
"Let's just go. We'll deal with it if things really blow up," Valarie suggested.
Nyla nodded. "Okay."
…
Back home, Nyla rested in the living room for a while. Just as she was about to wash up and go to bed, the doorbell rang.
Seeing Gabriel at the door, Nyla frowned, remembering how he had driven the auction price up to 100,000,000 dollars that night.
Could he really afford that amount if Damon hadn't continued bidding?
After a moment of hesitation, Nyla decided not to open the door. It was late, and even though Gabriel was her "brother" in name, they had no blood relation. Thus, it was better not to engage in too much private contact.
Upon not hearing a response, Gabriel's expression darkened. It seemed Nyla was determined to cut ties with him.
He clenched his hands at his sides, took a deep breath, and spoke to the closed door. "Nyla, I just came to warn you that the news about Damon giving you the jewelry has spread. Over the next few days, there might be reporters camped out by your door. If you're worried, you might want to stay at a hotel or a friend's place until they leave."

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....
