Nyla hadn't expected Damon to force Rebecca to marry Nathaniel.
"After everything she put you through, you don't want to get back at her?" Valarie asked.
If it were five years ago, Nyla might have sought revenge.
Since having Mason, her only goal had been to work hard and provide a happy, carefree life for him. Other matters simply didn't hold the same significance anymore.
"Didn't you say she married Nathaniel and suffers frequent abuse? That sounds like retribution to me," Nyla replied.
Valarie pouted and scoffed. "You might be able to let it go, but I can't. She's been hiding for years, so I haven't had a chance to deal with her. Now that she's finally out in public, I definitely have to teach her a lesson."
Nyla frowned. "Valarie, I know you're trying to stand up for me, but it's not worth it. You said she's with that Mr. Nuttall, right? Don't go offending others because of me."
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," Valarie assured her.
Realizing that Valarie wouldn't listen, Nyla could only sigh helplessly.
Soon, the auction began.
Nyla wasn't interested in the jewelry anymore. She rested her chin in her hand and watched casually. In contrast, Valarie was fully engaged, frequently raising her paddle to bid.
Not long after the auction started, Rebecca noticed them. When she saw Nyla, her face darkened, and she dug her fingers into her palm, glaring at her with intense resentment.
Orlando sensed the shift in her mood and followed her gaze. When he saw Nyla sitting beside Valarie, his eyes flashed with intrigue.
"You know her?" he asked.
Rebecca quickly looked away and said in a low voice, "No."
Orlando raised an eyebrow but didn't press further.
As the auction continued, Rebecca noticed that Valarie had won several pieces of jewelry.
A calculating look flashed in her eyes as she clung to Orlando's arm, her voice sweet and flirtatious. "Mr. Nuttall, I like that set of jewelry."

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....
