Ruby's breath hitched, and she instinctively denied it. "I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Ms. Jenner, I'll be at the same café where we met last time, at 2:00 p.m. If you don't show up, I'll have no choice but to submit the evidence to the authorities," Paul said, then hung up without waiting for her response.
Clutching her phone, Ruby froze in fear.
If she went to meet Paul, she risked losing the money and facing legal action from Prospectus Technology.
No... she couldn't let that happen. She had to leave immediately.
Steeling herself, she called Paul back. "Mr. Vernon, I'm not free at 2:00 p.m. Can we make it 4:00 p.m. instead?"
"Sure," Paul replied without hesitation.
After hanging up, Ruby quickly grabbed her suitcase and left. She gave her cat to a neighbor, not wanting anything to slow her down.
She booked the earliest available flight and headed straight for the airport.

Damon and Nyla were having lunch in his office when Spencer entered hurriedly.
"Mr. Sumner, we've uncovered the trail. The embezzled funds were funneled into a separate account. Using that account, Sullivan purchased a property under Ruby's name. She sold the property a few days ago for 1,800,000 dollars," Spencer reported.
At this, Nyla's cutlery slipped from her fingers, her expression filled with disbelief.
So this was why Ruby had resigned? Did she not realize that taking that money was illegal?
The more Nyla thought about it, the more disheartened she became. Now Ruby's recent behavior made sense.
Damon's voice was cold as he made a decision. "Report it to the authorities immediately."
"Yes, sir," Spencer replied, then left.

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....
