Nathaniel turned his head and widened his eyes when he saw Nyla.
It was only recently that he learned she was alive and had returned with Damon's child.
However, he didn't care much about this. After all, he had already fallen out with Damon. Even if Nyla came back, they couldn't make amends.
He stared at Nyla for a few seconds before looking away, expressionless. "It's none of our business. There's no need to pay attention."
Even though Nathaniel's tone was indifferent, Rebecca noticed his grip on the cutlery tighten. Clearly, he wasn't as nonchalant as he pretended to be.
Rebecca set down her utensils and asked Nathaniel, "Don't you think it's unfair? Nyla came back unharmed, and she even had Damon's child, but we were the ones caught in his revenge. Especially you—the Preston Group almost went bankrupt.
"You've worked so hard over the past few years to keep things afloat, facing so much disdain and hardship."
Nathaniel sneered. "Rebecca, don't think I don't know what's going on in your head. You used me once five years ago. Do you think I'll let you use me again now?"
Seeing her intentions exposed, Rebecca smiled. "I'm just upset on your behalf. You don't have the means to fight Damon now anyway."
Nathaniel's eyes narrowed instantly. "Rebecca, trying to provoke me won't do you any good."
Rebecca knew that if they weren't in a restaurant right now, Nathaniel might have hit her like he used to.
"Nathaniel, don't forget—I just secured a big deal for the Preston Group. Mr. Nuttall likes me a lot. If you lay a hand on me again and he sees the marks, it might not end well for you," she warned.

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....
