The situation needed to escalate. If Nyla wasn't pushed to her limits, she wouldn't willingly stay by his side.
Gabriel's smile deepened. He was confident that soon he would be with Nyla.
…
Melody cried bitterly in the taxi on her way home. She hadn't expected that the first man she ever liked would use her to scheme against Nyla, and worse... Nyla was his sister.
When she got home, she cried again.
It took several hours for her emotions to settle. Just as she was about to call Nyla to tell her what she had discovered, a news alert popped up on her phone screen.
[Prospectus Technology's experimental data leaked. The culprit is a researcher with a personal vendetta against Prospectus Technology's CEO. Was this done out of revenge or for profit?]
Melody clicked on the link and found a sensationalist article. Not only did it accuse Nyla of leaking the data, but it also exposed Nyla's past relationship with Damon.
The article implied that Nyla had leaked the data out of spite after being dumped by Damon, seeking revenge.
Fuming with anger, Melody saw that most comments were attacking Nyla. She couldn't hold back and started arguing with the commenters.
When she encountered some calmer ones, she tried to explain, but with everyone so quick to judge, no one believed her.
After all, people were more interested in the drama than the truth.
Taking a deep breath, Melody stopped replying and was about to call Nyla when she received a call from home.
"Melody, come home quickly. Your dad's had an accident!"
...
Meanwhile, Gabriel received a call as well.

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....
