Chapter 48
+25 BONUS
In just over an hour, Mabel appeared several times on the surveillance footage. By the third time, she seemed visibly flustered. If the labels of dilute sulfuric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid had indeed. been swapped, Mabel was undoubtedly the prime suspect.
Genevieve stopped the surveillance footage and instructed her assistant to notify Mabel to come to her office.
Upon hearing that Genevieve wanted to see her, Mabel immediately became nervous, glancing involuntarily at Lucia, who was sitting diagonally across from her.
However, Lucia didn’t even look her way, appearing calm and nonchalant as if nothing was amiss. Left with no choice, Mabel reluctantly followed Genevieve’s assistant to the office.
Just as she arrived at the door, her phone vibrated–it was a message from Lucia.
Lucia: [No matter what Genevieve asks, insist that you have nothing to do with it. You don’t know anything. If you dare to drag me into this, you know the consequences.]
Mabel replied with an “Okay“, and Lucia quickly unsent the message.
Mabel put her phone away and pushed open the door to the office.
Genevieve looked at her without much of an expression. “Have a seat.”
As Mabel sat down across from Genevieve, she feigned confusion. “Genevieve, what can I do for you?”
“This morning, you were in and out of the lab and R&D department several times. What was the reason for that?”
Mabel subconsciously balled her hands on her knees while she answered in a calm demeanor, “I went to the lab this morning to prepare for an experiment and realized I had forgotten to record some data from yesterday, so I went back to my desk to update it.”
“During this time, did you visit the reagent storage room?”
“No.” Mabel shook her head, then looked at Genevieve with disbelief. “Genevieve, are you suspecting me? I have no grudge against Nyla. How could I possibly harm her?”
Seeing the hurt in Mabel’s eyes, Genevieve calmly said, “I’m not suspecting you. I’m just planning to question everyone who was in the lab this morning. Since there’s no surveillance in the reagent storage room, we can’t be certain if someone swapped the labels.”

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....
