When Wren heard that the compensation could amount to hundreds of millions, her face went pale with fear, and she nearly fainted.
She recalled that when she married Harrison, his pharmaceutical company was valued at about that amount. How could a few leaked data points now be worth the same?
Walking out of the police station in a daze, Wren felt lost, unsure where to go or whom to turn to. If Gabriel ended up in prison, his life would be ruined!
She deeply regretted not preventing him from returning to the country. At least things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
Wait, Nyla!
As Wren considered that all this trouble began because of Nyla, anger flared in her eyes.
She took a cab to Nyla's place and pounded on the door, but there was no response.
Wren tried calling her, but the call remained ongoing, indicating that Nyla had likely blocked her number. Frustrated, she gave up and returned to the hospital to inform Harrison of the situation.
To her surprise, Harrison sided with Nyla. "This is Gabriel's fault. Nyla isn't the head of Prospectus Technology. She can't control this situation."
Wren stared at Harrison in disbelief. "Are you serious? If it weren't for her association with the same company, Gabriel wouldn't be in this mess!"
She continued to yell, "So, just because Nyla is your daughter, you take her side? I understand now—no matter how well I treat you or how well Gabriel treats you, to you, Nyla is always the real family! Gabriel and I are just outsiders!"
Harrison's face darkened due to her unreasonable stance. "Do you think the people at Prospectus Technology and the police are fools? If Gabriel hadn't leaked the data, this situation wouldn't have occurred. And how is this Nyla's fault? Did she force him to do it?"
Wren looked at him with disappointment. "Harrison, I've spent years taking care of you, and now that Gabriel is in trouble, you can't even offer a word of comfort. I'm done with you. If Gabriel's situation doesn't improve, we're getting a divorce!"

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....
