As Melody spoke, she kept her eyes locked on Gabriel's. His eyes widened slightly, turning her suspicion into certainty.
"Why are you doing this to Nyla? Isn't she like a sister to you?" she demanded.
Initially shocked, Gabriel quickly regained his usual gentle demeanor. "Melody, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"No one understands better than you. Did you put sleeping pills in the coffee you've been sending us?" Melody pressed.
Her tone was firm, and her eyes burned with anger as she stared at Gabriel.
He had been so considerate, claiming that working in the lab every day was exhausting, so he would send coffee to help them stay awake. He had even asked her not to tell Nyla.
Blinded by love, she had believed he genuinely wanted to build a good relationship with Nyla. Looking back now, she felt foolish!
She had handed Nyla the very coffee that led to the data leak scandal. The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, and her eyes welled up with tears. She felt like an accomplice.
Gabriel's expression remained calm and gentle, though a trace of helplessness flickered in his eyes.
"Melody, I don't understand what you're saying. I know you want to help Nyla, and I do too, but you can't just assume it was me because you're anxious," he said.
"Who else could it be? Gabriel, what exactly are you planning to do?" Melody demanded.
As she looked at his handsome face, she felt disgusted for the first time. How could she have fallen for someone so dreadful?
Gabriel moved closer to her, speaking softly so only they could hear. "I know you're recording our conversation, Melody, so don't think you'll get anything out of me."
Melody's eyes widened in shock. It was him after all!

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....
