Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 777

Chapter 777 

The maid, Pauline Gundy, went pale and dropped to her knees abruptly. “Mr. Hackett, I have elderly parents and a daughter in university. My husband passed away in a car accident a few years ago. Without this job, my family will have no income. Please, have mercy on me!” 

Tears streamed down her face as her whole body shook with fear. 

Gabriel’s expression remained cold and silent. 

Pauline’s eyes darted toward Nyla, and she pleaded tearfully, “Ms. Kinsey, please, have mercy on me. I can’t afford to lose this job. I beg you!” 

Before Nyla could respond, nearby guests began murmuring. 

“She seems so pitiful. Maybe they should let it slide this time.” 

“It’s difficult for a woman to be the sole breadwinner for her entire family. Everyone makes mistakes. We should be forgiving.” 

“It wasn’t intentional. If they keep pressing the issue, it just makes them seem petty.” 

Nyla’s face turned frosty. It was easy for the crowd to act self–righteous–they weren’t the ones who had nearly fallen onto broken glass. 

She looked down at the kneeling Pauline and said firmly, “This is my first time attending an event at the Wilkies‘. How did you know my last name?” 

Pauline’s face flashed with panic, but she quickly replied, “Ms. Wilkie instructed us to memorize all the guests‘ names and faces. You’re so striking, Ms. Kinsey–I couldn’t forget you.” 

Nyla remained unmoved. Her face showed no emotion. “Is that so?” 

Pauline forced a nod. “Yes… Ms. Kinsey, please, I’m willing to do anything to make amends –just don’t take my job away.” 

Nyla nodded. “Alright.” 

Pauline’s face lit up with hope, but Nyla continued, pointing to a woman in a white dress nearby. “If you can tell me that young woman’s full name, I’ll consider forgiving you.” 

“W–What?” Pauline’s face turned deathly pale, and she froze. 

Nyla’s expression grew colder as Pauline stammered, unable to answer. “What’s wrong? You don’t know?” 

Pauline gritted her teeth. “I… I forgot…” 

“But didn’t you say you had memorized all the guests‘ names and faces?” Nyla questioned.

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was firm. The guests around them quickly realized the truth: this maid had been sent deliberately to bump into Nyla. 

Expressions shifted upon this realization. They had taken the maid’s side earlier out of a sense of superiority and feigned magnanimity. 

Now, realizing they had been manipulated into sympathizing with someone who had ulterior motives, their expressions turned harsh and disdainful.
