Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 879

As expected, Anthony knew how to handle serious matters—he had far more patience than Monica.

When he saw Valarie's car, he immediately ran in front of it.

"Mr. Updike!" his assistant exclaimed.

Valarie was startled and slammed on the brakes. Fortunately, she wasn't driving fast, and her car stopped just inches from Anthony.

Anthony's assistant hurried over, still shaken. "Mr. Updike, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Anthony replied, his gaze fixed on Valarie through the car window.

With a calm expression, he added, "Ms. Weir, I'd like to talk to you."

Valarie opened her car door and stepped out, her face icy. "Mr. Updike, we have nothing to discuss. Please move."

"Ms. Weir, I only want to apologize," Anthony said.

Valarie scoffed. "Your wife came here this morning throwing insults, and now you're here acting all apologetic. Are you two playing good cop, bad cop, thinking I'm an easy target?"

"Ms. Weir, I am sincerely sorry for my wife's behavior," Anthony replied evenly. "As for Zayn, he committed a crime and should face the consequences. Whatever the court decides, I won't protest."

"If that's how you feel, Mr. Updike, then I have nothing more to say. I've received your apology. You may go," Valarie answered.

Anthony remained where he stood. "Ms. Weir, there's something else I wanted to ask of you."

"I doubt I can be of any help, Mr. Updike. You should try asking someone else," Valarie dismissed.

"Ms. Weir, you're the only one who can help," Anthony insisted.
