Chapter 72
“Impossible! I won’t apologize to her!” Lucia growled.
Valarie smirked as she observed. Lucia, who was visibly agitated, brimming with resistance and anger.
“Ms. Pollard, if you refuse to apologize, we’ll see you in court. If I’m not mistaken, spreading false rumors can lead to a prison sentence if the post receives more than 5,000 shares, correct?” Valarie said.
Lucia’s previously arrogant demeanor was suddenly dampened as if doused with a bucket of cold water. Her face turned pale at the thought of imprisonment and the potential ruination of her life.
Clement’s face darkened but quickly resumed its previous gentle expression.
“Lucia, just apologize to Nyla. As the older person, you should be the bigger person,” he advised.
Valarie frowned at Clement’s words, sensing an implication that they were being unreasonable today.
Before she could respond, Nyla spoke up. “Mr. Pollard, It’s not about her age or any obligation to give in. It’s about her wrongdoing and the need for her to apologize. Please don’t act as if she’s being unjustly
treated.”
Clement was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the usually gentle Nyla to be so direct.
“You’re right, Nyla. It’s my oversight,” he said.
Nyla remained indifferent. It wasn’t an oversight–he was clearly downplaying the situation.
Lucia bit her lip, reluctantly turning to Nyla. “I was wrong before, Nyla. I’m sorry.”
Seeing Lucia’s unwilling expression, Nyla ignored her and turned to Valarie. “Val, did you hear anyone speaking just now?”
Valarie caught on quickly and shook her head. “Nope, but I think I heard a mosquito buzzing.”
Lucia was so furious she wanted to tear the room apart. Unfortunately, under Clement’s cold gaze, she had no choice but to raise her voice and apologize again.
“Nyla, I’m sorry. I was wrong before. I hope you can forgive me!”
Under his icy gaze, Lucia reluctantly said, “I shouldn’t have had Kenneth kneel and apologize to you on purpose. I shouldn’t have recorded the video and posted it online to ruin your reputation. And I shouldn’t have grabbed you when I fell down the stairs. Satisfied now?!”

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....
