Trading My Ex for His Uncle Chapter 706
Memories of their time together crashed over her like waves in a tumultuous sea, creating a whirlwind of emotions that felt impossible to quell.Despite the storm beneath, the surface remained calm and undisturbed.…When Valarie entered the restaurant, Zayn was already there.As he caught sight of her in the fitted dress that emphasized her slender waist, amazement flickered in his eyes."Ms. Weir, please have a seat," he said, standing to pull out a chair for her with a gentle smile."Thank you," she replied.Once Valarie was seated, Zayn returned to his own chair, handed her the menu, and said with a smile, "I'm not sure what you like to eat, so I've ordered a couple of the restaurant's specialties. Take a look and let me know if you want to add anything else."Valarie nodded. "Sounds good."As she began browsing the menu, Zayn couldn't help but admire her smooth forehead, delicate nose, and rosy lips.She was beautiful—it was no wonder Brandon had fallen for her so deeply

Valarie lowered her gaze, remaining silent as she subconsciously picked at her nails.During her silence, Brandon and Jessica walked over to them.Zayn looked up and greeted Brandon with a smile. "Brandon, I didn't expect you and Ms. Quantrill to be here on a date. If I had known, we could've all gone together."Valarie was speechless.She was starting to suspect that Zayn might be a little off his rocker. Who would go on a double date like this? It would be awkward!Brandon cast a detached glance at Valarie, his voice cool. "Jessica is a bit shy. She might feel uncomfortable with too many people around. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."Valarie suppressed the sting rising in her chest. They had just met, and he was already calling her Jessica. Clearly, he was quite satisfied with her.Zayn nodded. "Alright. Let's arrange to meet again next time."Brandon didn't say anything else and walked away with Jessica.When Valarie raised her head again, all

Realizing she couldn't escape, Valarie bit Brandon's lip hard.Brandon let out a muffled grunt but didn't release her. Instead, he kissed her even more fiercely.It wasn't until Valarie felt as if she were going to suffocate that Brandon finally let her go.His gaze darkened further as he looked at her swollen lips.After catching her breath, Valarie raised her hand, ready to slap him.However, Brandon caught her wrist and pressed his forehead against hers, his voice low. "Valarie, haven't you ever felt anything for me in these five years?"Valarie bit her lip and replied coldly, "Brandon, do you even know what you're doing? Since we've both chosen to go on blind dates, why can't we just leave each other alone?""But I can't bear to see you dating other men," Brandon muttered.Valarie took a deep breath, placing her hand against his chest as she looked up at him seriously. "We're not suitable for each other.""Why aren't we suitable? What makes us incompatible?" Brandon asked.

As they approached, they noticed that Damon looked upset.Nyla raised an eyebrow and asked, "Mr. Sumner, have you been waiting too long?"Damon suppressed his discontent and forced a smile. "No, let's head inside."Just then, Mason suddenly looked up at Nyla and said, "Mommy, I need to pee. Can you come with me?"Nyla nodded. "Sure.""I'll take Buddy to the restroom. You two go ahead," she said, taking Mason by the hand and walking away.Once Nyla and Mason were gone, Damon's expression turned icy. "Mr. Raynor, we're here at the zoo as a family of three. What's your purpose in showing up?"Oliver smiled, but his eyes remained cold. "Mr. Sumner, the recent troubles with the Raynor Group—that's your doing, isn't it?"Damon didn't deny it. "Just giving you a little reminder not to interfere with our family time."A sneer flashed in Oliver's eyes. "Do you really think Nyla will forgive you? What kind of family do you think you have?"I asked Buddy, and he's fine with me being her

Oliver was usually fine since he took care of most things whenever he spent time with Nyla and Mason.Meanwhile, Damon wasn't typically the considerate type. Today, though, he kept asking her if she was tired, if she wanted to rest, or if she needed something to eat.By noon, Nyla felt that dealing with two men was more exhausting than work.As they left the zoo, she wore an expression of fatigue, mentally resolving never to let Damon and Oliver take Mason out together again.However, Mason seemed blissfully unaware of the tension between Damon and Oliver. His little face was flushed with excitement."Daddy, Uncle Oliver, you have to take me out to play again!" he exclaimed."Sure!" both men replied simultaneously, exchanging glances before looking away in annoyance.Before long, it was time to eat.Nyla just wanted to finish her meal and send the two men on their way.To her surprise, as soon as they sat down in the restaurant, they ran into Valarie.Valarie looked shocked a

After saying that, Nyla quickly hailed a cab and left, leaving the two men staring at each other.Oliver smirked. "Mr. Sumner, I'll be on my way. See you next time."Damon's expression turned cold. "Mr. Raynor, I guess there aren't enough issues at the Raynor Group for you to be this idle.""Go ahead and try to bankrupt the Raynor Group. But if you do, Nyla will only feel sorry for me and hate you even more," Oliver countered.As Damon's expression darkened, Oliver's smile deepened, and he turned to walk toward his car.In a relatively private restaurant in the north of Saintornia…Rebecca glared coldly at the man across from her. "Weren't you supposed to deal with Nyla for me? How come she's still perfectly fine?"The man opposite her, Sullivan, calmly sipped his tea. "Rebecca, don't be so impatient. I need some time."Rebecca gritted her teeth. "Heseltine, don't forget that your dad was on the brink of death in the hospital. If I hadn't kindly lent you money, he wouldn't be a

Ruby bit her lip and recounted what had happened that morning.When she finished, she said angrily, "Leon definitely gave the data to Brody on Friday night, but Brody is completely denying it now."Brody sneered from the side, speaking sarcastically. "I didn't receive anything. How do I know you two aren't colluding to frame me for losing the data?"Leon was furious. He rushed over to grab Brody by the collar. "I handed it to you in person on Friday! Are you going to say again that you didn't receive it?!"In contrast to Leon's flushed face, Brody seemed unconcerned.""What? You want to hit me? Go ahead, but think it through. If you do, I'll definitely call the police," he provokedWorried that Leon might act impulsively, Nyla quickly stepped in to hold him back. "Leon, calm down."Ruby hurriedly joined in to stop Leon as well. Just as Leon began to cool down, Brody spoke up again. "What? Scared to make a move? Coward!"This completely infuriated Leon. He lost control and swu

Once Nyla finished treating her wound at the hospital, she checked her phone and found several messages from Ruby.Ruby: [Nyla, what's going on between you and Mr. Sumner? Did you know each other before?]Ruby: [After you left with Mr. Sumner, everyone started gossiping about your relationship. You're not actually getting together with him, right?]Ruby: [By the way, when Mr. Sumner saw your bleeding hand in the lab, his face darkened. It's obvious he really cares about you!]Ruby: [Ahhh! What exactly is your relationship?]Nyla frowned as she read the messages.Typing with one hand was difficult, so she responded with a voice message instead: "I do know him, but we're just friends. Besides, I have a boyfriend."She didn't feel the need to mention to Ruby that Damon was Mason's biological father. It wasn't something she wanted widely known.After playing the voice message, Ruby quickly followed up, asking if it was Oliver.Nyla confirmed. After responding to Ruby, she hesitate

"Why are you here so early?" Damon asked.Upon seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Nyla's heart ached. "Spencer told me about your schedule this morning. Buddy and I missed you, so we came by."Damon walked over. "Yeah, I have to head to a meeting soon and won't have much time to spend with you two.""We understand," Nyla said softly.Damon gave her a brief hug before crouching to embrace Mason. "If all goes well, I might finish early tonight and be home for dinner.""Okay. I brought you breakfast. Eat something before your meeting," Nyla said with a gentle smile.As Damon ate, Mason and Nyla watched him."You've gotten thinner. Are you not eating properly?" Nyla asked, concern evident in her voice.Damon sipped his coffee and reassured her, "It's fine. Things will calm down soon."Just as they were finishing, Spencer entered to remind Damon about the meeting."Bring the materials to the conference room. I'll be right there," Damon instructed.Once Spencer left, he turne

After Gabriel stormed out, Tim couldn't hold back his laughter. "Haha, Gabriel's expression just now was priceless. I was going to leave him hanging, but he insisted on throwing money at me. He really set himself up for failure."Damon didn't comment.Tim finally stopped laughing and cleared his throat. "You've got an evening flight to catch, right? Let's handle the contract now."Damon walked over and sat across from him, pulling out the contract. "I've already marked the sections that need revisions."Tim took the document, reviewed the highlighted parts, and immediately called his assistant to revise them. Once corrected, the updated version was printed, signed, and stamped.By the time everything was finalized, over an hour had passed.Satisfied, Damon tucked one copy into his bag and stood up. "If any issues come up, let me know."Tim nodded. "Sure."As Damon reached the door, he paused and turned to Tim. "By the way, Gabriel doesn't let things slide. You outmaneuvered him

After a brief moment of anger, Gabriel regained his composure, his gaze turning cold. "Damon, Mr. Westcott assured me he wouldn't partner with Prospectus Technology. Otherwise, he wouldn't have signed this contract with me. Stop lying."Damon remained unfazed and spoke calmly. "Believe me or not, it makes no difference to me."With that, he turned and continued into Tim's office with Spencer following close behind.Gabriel stared at Damon's retreating back and instructed his secretary, "We're going back inside. I need to see for myself whether Damon or Tim is lying to me."Trailing Damon, Gabriel stormed into Tim's office.Seeing both men enter together, Tim raised an eyebrow in mild surprise. "Mr. Sumner, Mr. Hackett, what brings the two of you here together? Is there an issue with your contract as well, Mr. Hackett?"The subtle emphasis on "as well" struck Gabriel like a ton of bricks. His expression darkened."Mr. Westcott, you assured me at the restaurant that you wouldn't c

"Mr. Westcott, I'll return the money to him right away," Crystal said quickly.Tim waved dismissively. "No need. Tomorrow, go to the finance department and collect 8,000,000 dollars. After that, you don't need to come to the company."Crystal's face turned pale. She knew all too well that this sum of money was a breakup fee."Mr. Westcott, I truly realize my mistake. Please, give me another chance..." she pleaded, reaching out to grab his sleeve.The moment she saw the cold look in his eyes, her hand froze mid-air, and she dared not move any closer.Tim stood tall, looking down at her with an icy expression. He spoke slowly. "You should be grateful to Mr. Hackett. If he'd only given you a few hundred thousand, that's all you'd be getting from me as well. But 15,000,000 dollars in total for three years? I'd say that's more than enough."He added, his tone final, "I don't want to make this uglier than it has to be. Let's part on good terms."Crystal's face went ashen. She wanted t

"Would you happen to have a moment later? I'd love to discuss something," Gabriel asked.Tim smiled. "What a coincidence. I suppose I can spare a few minutes for a chat.""Excellent," Gabriel replied.Standing, Crystal smoothed her dress. "I'll freshen up."She knew better than to linger during Tim's business discussions."Your lipstick needs touching up. Take your time," Tim said mildly."Of course," Crystal answered.She found a quiet spot and sat for over half an hour, waiting until she received a bank notification confirming a deposit of 7,000,000 dollars.Satisfied, she returned to the table, only to find Tim dining alone."Tim, when did Mr. Hackett leave?" she asked, quickening her pace to sit across from him.Tim continued cutting his steak with deliberate precision. "No talking while eating."Although his tone was calm, Crystal had been with him long enough to sense his simmering anger.She pressed her lips together, instinctively explaining, "Tim, I'm sorry. Mr. Ha

By midday, Tim still refused to see Gabriel.Gabriel, considering taking a break and returning later, received a call from his secretary."Mr. Hackett, I found out Mr. Westcott has a girlfriend. Perhaps she could help arrange a meeting," his secretary said.A spark lit in Gabriel's eyes. "Send me her details right away."The secretary quickly forwarded the information.Tim's girlfriend, Crystal Glasco, came from an average family and worked as his assistant.Her background was straightforward—a bachelor's degree and a job at the Westcott Group right after graduation, where she became Tim's assistant.Their relationship, however, was more about Tim keeping her than about them being equals. That said, their three years together suggested Tim held some level of affection for her.After reviewing the details, Gabriel immediately called his secretary back. "Find a way to contact Crystal. I need to meet her today."…At around 8:00 p.m., Crystal entered an upscale restaurant in Cap

Under Tim's leadership, the Westcott Group maintained its position as one of the top four families in Capitarnia, leaving the other three far behind.After reading the file, Gabriel closed it and asked coldly, "I asked you to arrange a meeting with Mr. Westcott. What's their response?"The secretary hesitated. "Mr. Hackett, Mr. Westcott's secretary hasn't responded. It seems they aren't interested in meeting with you."Gabriel wasn't fazed. The document made it clear that Tim was proud and highly selective in his dealings. Such a person wasn't easily approached.For Damon to even gain the Westcott Group's consideration, he must have put in significant effort.Still, there was an opportunity as long as the contract wasn't signed."No need to wait for a reply. I'll go to the Westcott Group myself tomorrow morning," Gabriel said."Understood, Mr. Hackett," the secretary replied.…At 7:00 a.m. the next day, Gabriel was already standing outside the Westcott Group. The sun hadn't f

Damon nodded. "Got it. Have the PR department continue contacting major media outlets to remove any negative commentary about Prospectus Technology. We can't let this situation escalate further."In the business world, public opinion could be lethal. Most people were naturally inclined to follow the crowd. Without knowing the full picture, they could easily be misled.If the narrative that Prospectus Technology's chips were faulty spread too far, restoring their reputation later would require monumental resources. It was critical to stop this from snowballing now."Understood, Mr. Sumner. By the way, how's the deal in Capitarnia coming along?" someone asked.Upon hearing that, Damon's previously tense expression relaxed slightly. "Progress is decent. Barring any unforeseen issues, we should be able to sign the contract in a couple of days."The group on the call let out a collective sigh of relief.Once the deal was signed, Prospectus Technology would recover some of its losses

"We can sign an agreement if you're still worried. I promise never to challenge your custody of Wilhelm in my lifetime," Jane assured.Seeing her determination, Gabriel remained silent.Noticing his hesitation, Jane gripped the armrests of her wheelchair tightly. "Gabriel, you're already hesitating, even though you haven't remarried yet. How can I believe you'll treat Wilhelm fairly in the future?"Gabriel's gaze turned cold. "No matter what, Wilhelm will be better off with me than with you. When and how much of the shares I give him is my decision, not yours."With that, he turned to leave.As he reached the doorway, Jane's voice echoed behind him. "If you don't transfer half your shares to Wilhelm, I won't leave the country!"Gabriel paused, then glanced back at her mockingly. "Whether you leave or stay means nothing to me. And why would you think your refusal to leave is a threat to me?""Gabriel, you're a bastard!" Jane shouted.Gabriel smirked and left without another word
