Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 49
Chapter 49
Mabel’s hands trembled with fear as she spoke in a shaky voice. “Just now, Genevieve told me that a team from Prospectus Technology came over. They collected several fingerprints from the labels of dilute and concentrated sulfuric acid. They’re going to collect our fingerprints this afternoon to compare.”
Lucia’s gaze darkened as she gritted her teeth, staring at Mabel. “You fool! Didn’t you know you should wear gloves when you swapped the labels?”
“I… I was too panicked. I just forgot… and by the time I remembered, it was too late…” Mabel was on the verge of tears. “Lucia, what do I do… You have to help me…”
Lucia looked impatient. “How can I help you? Can I magically change another person’s fingerprints?”
When Nyla’s flask exploded during the experiment, Damon’s secretary immediately ordered the lab and adjacent reagent storage room to be sealed off. They never had a chance to wipe the fingerprints off the labels. Moreover, Lucia hadn’t expected Mabel to be so foolish as to leave such a glaring loophole.
“But I can’t lose this job. Otherwise, I won’t be able to afford my mom’s medical bills…”
Mabel was willing to do anything for Lucia to secure a job for her father so they could earn money for her mother’s medical expenses. If she lost the job, what would be the point of it all?
Seeing Mabel’s unstable emotions, Lucia knew she had to find a way to placate Mabel, or she would also be implicated.
“Don’t worry for now. I heard there’s a local company researching simulation gloves that replicate even fingerprints. I’ll figure out a way to get you a set. You should be able to get through this afternoon.”
“Really?” A glimmer of hope flashed in Mabel’s eyes as she looked excitedly at Lucia.
“Yeah. Go back to work for now. I’ll make a call to my dad.”
“Okay.”
After Mabel left, Lucia called Clement. “Dad, I need your help with something.”
Meanwhile, Genevieve was on the phone with Spencer
After listening to Genevieve’s explanation, Spencer chuckled. “Ms. Reeve, I’ll need to consult with Mr. Sumner about this.”

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....
