Trading My Ex for His Uncle Chapter 789
As Nyla stepped out of the elevator, she saw Damon still standing where she had left him. When he caught sight of her emerging, his initially downcast eyes brightened."Nyla…" he called out.She bit her lip and approached him. "I'm sorry about earlier. I wasn't angry with you. I was just really shocked and didn't know how to face my dad."Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Damon gently patted her head, his voice soft. "I understand. I just didn't want to see you upset."He knew he should have told her beforehand about his secret meetings with Harrison. Even if she had been angry, it would have been expected."Yeah, I… want to go see him," she said."Okay, I'll take you there," he replied.Even though Nyla had prepared herself mentally, she couldn't help but tear up the moment she saw Harrison's emaciated form up close.Damon gently patted her back and whispered, "You don't have to worry too much. The doctor said his condition is serious, but there's still a chance for recovery. As l

"Nyla, I'm sorry. If it hadn't been for the company going bankrupt back then, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much," Harrison said.Nyla shook her head. "Dad, it's all in the past, and I'm doing fine now."After talking for a while longer, a nurse entered to remind Harrison to take his medication and get his IV.Nyla stood up. "Dad, make sure to rest well. I'll come back to see you tomorrow."Harrison's eyes flashed with reluctance. After five years apart, he hadn't had enough time to absorb Nyla's presence before they had to part again.Noticing his disappointment, Nyla smiled. "I'll visit you every day from now on."Harrison was momentarily stunned but then nodded quickly. "Okay, just be careful on your way back."As Nyla left the hospital room, she spotted Damon sitting on a chair in the corridor. He was tall, and sitting down made him appear somewhat constrained, his long legs particularly noticeable.Damon caught her gaze and looked up, instantly breaking into a smile.

"By the way, what do you think of Sullivan Heseltine?" Nyla asked.Damon paused for a few seconds, realizing he had no idea who that was. "Sullivan Heseltine?""He's an employee from Prospectus Technology, assigned to work with me on this project. He's the team leader," Nyla explained.Damon still had no impression of him and raised an eyebrow. "What about him?""Nothing. If you don't know him, forget it," Nyla replied.Damon quipped, "Why are you asking me about another guy? Aren't you afraid I'll get jealous?"Nyla shot him a playful glare. "I just asked casually. Do you really get jealous that easily?""Of course I do! You have a way of attracting attention, and that makes me insecure," Damon teased."Who's attracting attention? I see women stealing glances at you every time you walk into the office. If I were as jealous as you, I'd have run out of jealousy by now," Nyla huffed.Damon's gaze deepened, a hint of melancholy in his expression. "But I've never seen you get jeal

"I'm being serious," Damon said."I don't want to deal with you right now. Walter, look for a pharmacy up ahead and stop the car," Nyla requested.Walter nodded and soon pulled over at an intersection."Ms. Kinsey, there's a pharmacy here," he informed her."Great," Nyla replied, turning to Damon. "I'll go buy some medicine. Wait here for me."Damon wanted to stop her, but seeing the worry in her eyes, he swallowed his words and nodded. "Okay."As Nyla got out of the car and walked toward the pharmacy, she bumped into a delivery person rushing out, causing the medicine in their hands to fall to the ground."Sorry, I didn't mean to," Nyla apologized.The delivery person bent down to pick up the medicine when a shocked voice called out, "Ruby?!"Ruby looked up, recognizing Nyla, and a hint of panic flashed across her face. "N-Nyla…""Did you leave work early just to make deliveries?" Nyla asked.Ruby hurriedly picked up the fallen medicine, avoiding eye contact with Nyla. "I'm

Damon stiffened and averted his gaze. "It's nothing.""Is your arm still hurting?" Nyla asked, trying to look at Damon's arm, but he turned away.He dismissed her concern. "It's fine. Let's get ready for dinner."He didn't even glance at Nyla as he walked past her toward the dining room.Nyla frowned, sensing something was off about his attitude. She thought back and realized his demeanor had changed after she returned to the car from the pharmacy.Could it be because she hadn't mentioned Ruby to him? Was he sulking?During dinner, Damon spoke only to Mason, ignoring Nyla unless she initiated the conversation.After dinner, seeing Damon head toward the study, Nyla quickly followed him."Damon, wait! I need to talk to you," she called out.His tone was somewhat cold when he replied, "What is it?"Nyla looked up at him. "Are you upset with me?"Damon avoided her gaze. "No.""If that's true, then why were you only talking to Buddy at dinner?" she pressed."You're overthinking

Damon picked up the car keys and said, "I'll take you there."Worried that Valarie might get into trouble at the bar, Nyla nodded. "Okay."…By the time they arrived at the bar, an hour had passed.When they found Valarie, she was already a bit dazed and being hit on by a drunken man. Nyla stepped forward and swatted the man's hand away from Valarie."Stay away from her!" she warned.The man, his face flushed with alcohol, turned angrily to face her. When he saw how beautiful she was, his eyes lit up. "Hey, gorgeous, what's your number—"Before he could finish his sentence, a chilling voice came from behind him. "Touch her, and you'll regret it!"The man turned to meet Damon's icy gaze. He shuddered, sobering up a little.Noticing Damon's distinguished appearance, the man awkwardly smiled. "Sorry, I mistook her for someone else."He quickly turned and left, clearly eager to avoid Damon.Nyla supported the dazed Valarie, who was nearly unable to stand. "Valarie, what happened

"Thanks, Lydia, I appreciate it," Nyla replied.Lydia shook her head with a smile. "It's no trouble."With that, she went to the kitchen.As soon as Nyla returned from fetching water in the bathroom, she heard Valarie's quiet sobs. She hurried to the bedside, setting down the basin of water, and gently nudged Valarie."Valarie, how are you feeling?" she asked.Valarie opened her eyes. Upon seeing Nyla, she began to cry even harder. "Nyla… is my life a failure?"Noticing her red-rimmed eyes, Nyla quickly knelt beside her and replied gently, "Why do you think that?""The Weir Group is in trouble, and I can't help at all… I'm clearly attracted to Brandon, but I'm too afraid of the age difference to pursue it. I decided to get engaged to Zayn for the Weir Group, but I'm not doing it wholeheartedly… And Zayn has a mistress…" Valarie confessed.She tried to convince herself that she didn't care, but it was impossible to feel completely indifferent, especially since Zayn's mistress ha

The study was still lit, and Damon hadn't gone to bed yet. Surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Nyla. "What are you doing here? How's Valarie?""She's already asleep," Nyla answered.Noticing that Nyla seemed to have something to say, Damon raised an eyebrow."Damon, thank you for what you did tonight," Nyla said."Why are you being so polite? I'm your boyfriend—it's what I should do," Damon replied.After a moment of hesitation, Nyla appeared to make up her mind. She slowly raised her head to meet his gaze. "It's not just about tonight. You've always been good to me since we met. I owe you an apology and a thank you."The seriousness in her eyes made Damon press his lips together and approach her.As he drew closer, Nyla subconsciously stepped back and asked warily, "Why are you getting up all of a sudden?"Damon beamed. "Didn't you want to thank me?""Yeah, but you—" Nyla began.Before she could finish her sentence, Damon wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her

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

Wilhelm froze for a moment, his eyes welling up with tears as confusion and hurt clouded them."Mommy, do you really not want me anymore?" he asked, his voice trembling.Jane's gaze flickered with a brief trace of pain as she looked at Wilhelm sitting pitifully on the floor. But the softness in her eyes vanished as quickly as it appeared.She stared at him coldly. "That's right. I never wanted you. I hit you to try and get your father to come back."The other day, when I took you out for steak, I deliberately let you eat that hazelnut cake. You started itching later because you're allergic—that was intentional, too. I wanted you hospitalized so I could force your father to see me."Her tone grew harsher. "Now that Gabriel and I are divorced, you're of no use to me. You're just a burden. Taking you with me would only drag me down."And I hate your father. Naturally, I hate you, too. Don't show up in front of me again!"Wilhelm sat frozen, her words cutting into him like shards of

If Wilhelm stopped wanting to see Jane, the bond between them would naturally fade over time."No! I don't want food!" Wilhelm cried, hurling Gabriel's phone onto the car seat.He began pounding on the car door, trying to open it. "I want to see Mommy! I want to live with her, not you!"Gabriel, his patience wearing thin, locked the doors with a sharp click and turned to Wilhelm, his expression darkening."Your mother doesn't want you. Even if you find her, she won't take you. I'm the only one you have now," he said."I hate you! I don't want to be with you! I don't want you as my dad!" Wilhelm screamed.Gabriel's restraint, already fraying after days of tantrums, finally snapped. He stared at his son and said coldly, "It doesn't matter whether you want me or not. No one wants you now except me."Jane didn't want Wilhelm. The Wilkies wouldn't want him either."That's not true!" Wilhelm sobbed uncontrollably. "Mommy wants me. Mommy's just mad. If I'm good, she'll take me back! S

Lydia nodded. "Okay, Ms. Kinsey."Shortly after, Lydia returned with Mason by her side.When Mason saw Gabriel and Wilhelm standing at the door, he frowned and turned to Nyla. "Mommy, why is Wilhelm here?"Nyla patted his head gently. "He's here to apologize to you.""Oh." Mason's response was wary, clearly unconvinced.Gabriel observed Nyla's affectionate interaction with Mason, his eyes flickering with a trace of emotion. He turned to Wilhelm. "What did you promise me before we came?"Wilhelm's reluctance was evident. He had agreed to apologize, but only under the threat of losing his chance to see his mother."Mason, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you yesterday. I hope you can forgive me," Wilhelm said, his voice subdued.Mason didn't respond immediately. Instead, he looked up at Nyla, silently seeking her guidance."Buddy, this is your decision to make," Nyla said softly. "I'll respect whatever you decide."Mason lowered his head, thinking for a moment.Finally, he s

Brandon sighed and placed the items on the desk. "Aunt Nyla, this crisis is unlike anything Prospectus Technology has faced before. If things go wrong, the company can go bankrupt."Uncle Damon prepared these after finding out Buddy is his son, but he hadn't found the right time to give them to you."Keep them for now. If Prospectus Technology collapses, he'll need this to start over."After a moment's silence, Nyla nodded. "Alright, I'll hold onto them. Is this the only reason you came?""Yes, I need to get back to work," Brandon replied."I'll see you out," Nyla offered.After sending Brandon off, she returned to the study and placed the documents and bank card in the safe upstairs.The next morning…As Nyla was getting dressed, Lydia knocked on the door."Ms. Kinsey, there's a man outside who says he's your brother," Lydia informed her.Brother?Thinking it was likely Gabriel, Nyla's expression turned cold. "I don't know him. Tell him to leave.""Understood," Lydia said

Damon put the file down and sat across from Nyla.Noticing two portions of breakfast on the table, he asked, "You haven't eaten either?""No," Nyla replied as she opened the packages and handed one to him. "I came to eat with you. Spencer told me he brought you breakfast this morning, but you didn't touch it.""I was too busy," Damon said."Being busy isn't an excuse to skip meals. I saw your assistants running around like crazy, and I heard they barely got any sleep last night. Is the issue with the company that serious?" Nyla asked."It's significant," Damon admitted. "Our chips might be causing malfunctions in our partner's machines. If that's confirmed, the company will face a massive compensation payout."Nyla frowned, worry flashing in her eyes. "I can't help much with work, but the least I can do is keep things in order at home. By the way, are you coming home tonight?""Probably not," he replied. "There's still a lot to handle.""Alright. Finish your breakfast. I'll hea

Gabriel took the document, skimmed its contents, and his face darkened."What is it?" Tom asked.Gabriel tossed the document onto the table with a cold laugh. "Nothing important. Damon's just trying to catch me off guard."The document contained evidence of Nyce Tech hiring paid posters to smear Prospectus Technology, but Gabriel wasn't worried.Soon enough, those allegations would become the truth.Tom glanced at the papers and grinned. "As long as it's not a big problem. Anyway, I should get going.""Fine, but don't forget your part in this," Gabriel said pointedly.There was a cold glint in Tom's eyes, though his smile remained. "Relax. I won't let you handle Prospectus Technology alone."After Tom left, Gabriel drained his wine in one gulp.As he prepared to head to his study, a maid approached with a concerned expression."Mr. Hackett, Mr. Wilhelm still refuses to eat," the maid informed him.Gabriel had brought Wilhelm straight back to the villa instead of letting him
