The lawyer beside Gabriel quickly began negotiating the compensation with Prospectus Technology's legal representative.
Once they agreed on the amount, the Prospectus Technology lawyer returned to the company to inform Damon.
Damon's expression remained cold. "He can afford to pay hundreds of millions?"
Previously, Damon had investigated Gabriel and discovered that he was merely a researcher for a pharmaceutical company in Meristate. Regardless of his capabilities, it was unlikely he had accumulated such a fortune in just a few years.
The lawyer handed Damon a check. "Mr. Sumner, this is the check Gabriel has issued."
Damon glanced at the check with a cold stare.
Clearly, he had underestimated Gabriel. The fact that Gabriel could issue a check for hundreds of millions indicated there were aspects about him Damon had not yet discovered.
"I understand. You may leave now," Damon said dismissively.
After returning the check to the lawyer, Damon's demeanor reverted to its usual indifference.
"Mr. Sumner, should we continue with the lawsuit against Gabriel?" the lawyer inquired.
Damon's expression hardened, and his voice became low and frosty. "Since he has provided compensation, we'll proceed according to the process."
As the CEO of Prospectus Technology, Damon had to prioritize the company's interests.
Still, Gabriel's actions against Nyla had crossed a personal line, and he was not going to let it go easily.
The lawyer nodded. "Understood. Contelligence is also inclined to settle with compensation now."
"Then negotiate a fair price," Damon instructed.
"Got it," the lawyer replied.
Once the lawyer left, Damon picked up his phone from the desk, walked to the window, and dialed Nyla's number.
The call rang five times before it was answered.
"What's up?" Nyla asked.

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....
