Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 410

Seeing Nyla's change in expression, Damon asked, "What's wrong? Did you remember something?"

"Mr. Sumner, I need to check on something. I'll head back now," Nyla said.

As she turned to leave, Damon's gaze grew serious. He stood up suddenly and grabbed her wrist, speaking softly. "Nyla, you can rely on me. I've made things clear with Rebecca, and we've broken up. I hope you can give me a chance to protect you."

His words were earnest, but Nyla pulled her hand away as if she had been pricked.

"Mr. Sumner, from the moment we broke up, there's no going back. Whether you've broken up with Rebecca or not, I won't reconsider," she said.

With that, Nyla turned and walked out.

Watching her leave, Damon slowly tightened his fists, his expression showing a hint of defeat. He knew Nyla was deeply disappointed in him and wouldn't easily give him another chance.

…

After leaving Damon's office, Nyla went straight to find Melody.

The lab had been busy recently, and Nyla usually skipped lunch. She stayed in the lab while Melody brought her meals from the cafeteria. If she remembered correctly, her excessive sleepiness had started around the time Melody began bringing her food.

If it weren't for the data leak, she might not have noticed the issue.

Faced with Nyla's questioning, Melody looked both incredulous and hurt. "Nyla, since the data leak happened, I've believed in you and never suspected you. Now you're questioning if I'm the one who leaked the data and framed you?"

Nyla pressed her lips together and said firmly, "Melody, I'm just asking you to recall if anything unusual happened when you brought me meals. I'm not suspecting you."

Melody forced a smile. "I only went to get the food after I finished eating, and I always picked a random window. I'd bring the food back to the office directly. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage. I can guarantee that the food I brought you was fine."
