A wave of heat surged from Damon's lower abdomen, causing the faces of the people in the hall to blur.
With a cold glint in his eyes, he set down his glass and quickly headed for the exit.
After years in the business world, Damon was accustomed to all sorts of underhanded tactics. He had never, however, anticipated that someone would have the audacity to drug him!
His steps grew unsteady. Just as he left the hall, he heard the sound of high heels behind him.
"Damon…" Rebecca called out.
Her hand wrapped around his wrist, and the faint scent of roses made his head spin even more.
Rebecca attempted to hug Damon, but he abruptly shoved her away. She stumbled back several steps before managing to steady herself.
"Damon…" She looked at him, her eyes filled with disbelief. She hadn't expected that, even under the influence of the drug, he would still have the strength to push her away.
Damon glared at her icily, a storm brewing in his eyes. "Did you drug me?"
Rebecca's expression froze, and guilt flickered in her eyes. "Damon, what are you talking about? What drug?"
"Rebecca, I won't let this go," Damon spat.
His face was cold and serious, the menace in his gaze almost tangible.
Fear crept into Rebecca's heart, and she instinctively took a step back.
However, seeing Damon struggle to stay upright, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward to hug him. She believed that as long as she slept with him, he would have to take responsibility!
In the next moment, Damon pushed her away with revulsion.
"Ah!" Rebecca cried out as she fell to the floor in a clumsy heap.
Pain shot through her ankle, and she winced. "It hurts so much."
As she fell, she heard a sharp crack in her left foot. It must have been fractured. She hadn't expected Damon to be so ruthless, pushing her away even after being drugged.

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....
