"I never said you didn't contribute, but your mother kept bothering my dad after the divorce and caused him to fall down the stairs. We need to settle this once and for all." Nyla's voice was icy as she glared at Gabriel.
If it hadn't been for Wren stirring things up back then, Nyla wouldn't have had such a strained relationship with her father.
Now, even though they were divorced, Wren still greedily wanted the demolition compensation. Wasn't that shameless?
Gabriel clenched his fists. His eyes filled with sorrow as he met her gaze. "This incident was indeed my mom's fault. I'll apologize on her behalf, and she will go to the hospital to apologize to your father. As for his medical and nutritional expenses, I will take full responsibility."
Nyla's expression remained stern. "That's what you should do, and I won't let her off easily. I've handed the footage to the police. If my dad was pushed by her, I'll definitely press charges!"
Her tone was resolute, offering no room for negotiation.
Gabriel fell silent for a moment, then quietly said, "Don't worry. If my mom really did it on purpose, I won't protect her."
Nyla didn't believe him—not at all. After all, Wren was his mother, and it was clear where his loyalties lay.
"You better mean what you say," she replied sharply.
Not wanting to continue the conversation, Nyla turned and walked past him, heading back to handle the police procedures.
Soon, only Gabriel and Damon were left in the hall. The two exchanged glances of mutual disdain, the tension between them palpable.
Gabriel couldn't be bothered to greet Damon and simply turned to leave.
Once the procedures were complete, Nyla approached Damon. "Let's go. We just need to wait for the police to notify us about the rest."
"Mm," Damon hummed in response.
Noticing her furrowed brow, he reached over and gently smoothed the creases. "Don't worry. I'll make sure your dad is taken care of. When you have time, you can visit him."

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
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....
