Damon glanced at Jane but remained silent.
The room fell into an oppressive silence, the air thick with tension.
Jane kept her head lowered, waiting for Damon to speak.
When he didn't, she finally lifted her gaze and said, "Mr. Sumner... I truly apologize. I was blinded by greed. For the damage I caused to Prospectus Technology, I'm willing to provide full compensation. Please, I beg you to forgive me. Please give the Wilkie Group another chance."
Pedro quickly interjected, "Mr. Sumner, Jane has made a grave mistake, and I take full responsibility for failing to guide her properly. I promise to discipline her moving forward. She won't repeat this kind of error. Could you find it in your heart to let this matter rest?"
Damon glanced at Pedro, his expression unreadable as he responded. "Since you've said as much, we'll let this go. But I warn you—if this happens again, there will be no leniency."
Pedro nodded eagerly. "Of course, Mr. Sumner! I assure you, there won't be another incident like this."
Given the Wilkie Group's current instability, a single decisive move from Damon could collapse the company within a month.
The stakes were too high, and Pedro knew he had no choice but to humble himself.
Jane clenched her fists in silent resentment and humiliation but kept her head bowed, standing beside Pedro.
Damon rose from his seat, Nyla following him as he said, "We'll leave now. My secretary will deliver an assessment of the damages caused by the bidding incident to your company tomorrow morning."
Pedro hurriedly offered, "Allow me to escort you out."
Damon waved him off. "That won't be necessary."
With that, Damon and Nyla left the room, leaving behind an overwhelming silence.

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....
