When Oliver received Nyla’s call, he was in the middle of packing up his personal belongings. Despite working at the Raynor Group for five years, there wasn’t much that was solely his.
His voice, as always, was gentle. “Nyla, what’s wrong? Shouldn’t you be in the lab right now?”
Nyla felt a sting in her nose, and her voice grew hoarse. “Oliver, did you get forced out of the Raynor Group because of me?”
Although she tried to keep her emotions in check, Oliver could still hear the slight tremble in her voice, as if she were on the verge of tears.
He remained silent for a couple of seconds before replying softly, “This has nothing to do with you. I’ve been wanting to take a break for a while, and now’s as good a time as any.”
“Liar!” Nyla snapped.
She wasn’t naive. She knew how much effort and ambition he had poured into his work–things he never openly shared.
Taking a deep breath, Nyla spoke softly but firmly. “Oliver, I’m sorry. This is my fault. I’ll find a way to make it right.”
Sensing something off in her tone, Oliver instinctively frowned. “Nyla, you don’t need to-”
“I need to get back to the lab. Let’s talk later.” With that, Nyla hung up.
She took a deep breath, her eyes now filled with determination.
After Oliver resigned from the Raynor Group, Hugh personally appointed Fred as the interim CEO.
As soon as the meeting ended, Fred couldn’t wait to call Damon.
“Mr. Sumner, I’ve successfully pushed Oliver out of the Raynor Group. He won’t be able to challenge you again,” he reported. “Now, about the amusement park project you mentioned bringing the Raynor Group into–when can we meet to discuss the details?”
Damon raised an eyebrow in surprise. “How did you manage that?”
He hadn’t even begun to make his move yet. With Fred’s limited shares, it shouldn’t have been so easy to
take down Oliver.
Fred smirked as he replied coldly, “I don’t know what’s gotten into Hugh, but he personally came to the company and ordered Oliver to resign on the spot, without any leniency. He even appointed me as interim CEO.”
Damon narrowed his eyes.
Hugh didn’t stand by his own son? He kicked him out of the Raynor Group and let a man with clear ulterior motives take over? What was he playing at?

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....
