Seeing Nyla so agitated, Spencer spoke up. "Nyla, do you have anything else to say?"
Nyla didn't respond to him. Instead, she looked directly at Melody and asked, "You're sure the 30,000 dollars I gave you was hush money, right?"
For a brief moment, Melody's expression faltered, but she quickly nodded. "I'm sure."
"Okay." Nyla calmly pulled out her phone. "I recorded our call last night."
As soon as she said that, Melody's face turned pale.
Gabriel, sitting nearby, tensed up, his expression darkening. His eyes narrowed, and his hands clenched on the table instinctively.
He hadn't expected this—Nyla had been cautious enough to record the conversation even in that situation.
Nyla placed her phone on the table and played the recording. The voices from the call echoed through the dead-silent conference room. The more it played, the paler Melody became.
When the recording ended, Nyla put away her phone and looked coldly at Melody. "If you don't want to admit it, I can show the timestamp of the recording. Or we can call the police and have them pull the phone records."
With every word Nyla uttered, Melody was ashen with despair.
The room fell into an uncomfortable silence. All eyes were on Melody, and the looks of disdain and suspicion felt like needles piercing her skin. She wished she could disappear.
"It's obvious Melody's the one responsible for the data leak. Why else would she accuse 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....
