Gabriel smirked. "Don't worry. If you do as I say, your mother will be safe."
Melody glared at him, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred. "Gabriel, you're so untrustworthy! I was blind to have ever fallen for someone like you!"
As she thought about how he had coerced her into borrowing 30,000 dollars from Nyla and wondered what other schemes he might have, Melody felt a wave of despair.
Was there truly no way to expose his true nature?
Gabriel looked down at her, showing no sympathy for the tear stains on her face. Instead, he found her tears annoying.
He pinched her chin and said coldly, "Tomorrow morning, go to Prospectus Technology and report her. The 30,000 dollars she transferred to you tonight is your hush money."
Melody's eyes widened in shock, and she shook her head. "No! I won't help you frame Nyla!"
She finally understood the real purpose behind Gabriel's demand for the 30,000 dollars from Nyla. Trembling, she realized how dangerous this man was—he truly intended to ruin Nyla!
"You're already helping me by calling her, aren't you? Even if you don't cooperate, she won't forgive you once she learns the truth," Gabriel taunted.
"I don't want to help you either!" Melody cried.
"Fine. Just wait for news of your mother's death," Gabriel said, turning on his heel.
As she watched his cold back, Melody was overwhelmed with fear. She believed Gabriel was capable of carrying out his threats because he was completely unhinged.
She rushed forward to stop him. "Okay, I'll do it!"
"Better not try any tricks, or I'll make sure you suffer," Gabriel warned.
His eyes were dark and impenetrable, like a net trapping her with no chance of escape.

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....
