"Ms. Jayston, I discovered that Steven has had contact with someone from the Preston Group. However, it appears you have no personal grievances with them, so there would be no reason for them to target you," Pete said.
Nyla tightened her grip on the phone. "Actually, there is some personal animosity. I understand the situation now, Mr. Monaghan, so there's no need for further investigation.
"If you have the time, could you check whether Robert Palfrey from Contelligence has had any contact with employees from Prospectus Technology?"
"Certainly. I'll look into it right away," Pete replied.
After ending the call, Nyla transferred some money to Pete. Once he confirmed receipt, Nyla closed the chat. She placed her phone in her bag, paused for a moment, and then called Damon.
The call connected quickly.
Damon's voice carried a hint of tension. "Nyla... what's wrong?"
Nyla pressed her lips together, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes before she composed herself. "Mr. Sumner, I'm not sure what personal issues you have with Rebecca and Nathaniel, but I no longer wish to be involved. Please tell Nathaniel to stop sending people to follow me."
There was a brief silence on the other end before Damon's cold voice responded. "He's sending people to follow you? When did this start?"
"In the past few days. The specifics, Mr. Sumner, you'll need to ask him directly," Nyla said before ending the call.
She set her phone down, a hint of guilt in her eyes. With no direct way to confront Nathaniel, she had to rely on Damon to handle him.
…
Damon called Nathaniel directly from his office at Prospectus Technology, his voice barely containing his anger. "What have you done to Nyla?"

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....
