Nathaniel could no longer seek revenge. Instead, he was here, begging Damon for help. His heart simmered with indignation and resentment. Like Rebecca, he loathed Damon.
If it weren't for Damon, neither he nor Rebecca would have had to torment each other, and the Preston Group wouldn't have ended up in its current state.
However, he knew well that he lacked the power to confront Damon. His only option was to ask for his help.
Damon's indifferent gaze never wavered. He was unmoved, not a hint of empathy in his eyes. From the moment Nathaniel chose to assist Rebecca in scheming against Nyla, they were no longer friends.
"Back when you were helping Rebecca, you didn't seem to remember our friendship," Damon remarked coldly.
Nathaniel stiffened, his face draining of color.
"D-Damon, I've regretted every day for the past five years. I was deceived by Rebecca, and by the time I realized the truth, it was too late..." Nathaniel stammered.
"You don't regret it," Damon retorted. "You just realized you can't bear the consequences."
Nathaniel's face darkened, but he forced himself to meet Damon's gaze. "No matter what, I've already paid the price for my actions over these five years.
"Damon, I'm not asking for us to return to what we were. I'm just begging you—please spare the Preston Group and give me a chance."
"I won't harm the Preston Group, but I won't help it either," Damon replied, his voice unwavering.
Nathaniel understood. There was no hope of Damon helping him. He knew Damon's personality all too well, and pleading would be in vain.
"Alright, I understand," Nathaniel said, his voice hollow. "I came here today only to humiliate myself."
He turned to leave.
Damon didn't bother to look at him as he walked away. His gaze returned to his documents, his expression as indifferent as ever.
Damon wouldn't intervene to destroy the Preston Group, but if it came to the brink of bankruptcy, he would subtly step in to prevent its collapse.
The company had to remain in a fragile state—not thriving, but not crumbling—so Nathaniel's focus would remain on it.

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....
