Trading My Ex for His Uncle Chapter 911
Rebecca didn't really think she could escape, did she?As soon as she used her card, Nathaniel would know exactly where she was.He sat on the couch, and his eyes gleamed with malice.This time, when he brought Rebecca back, he would chain her up, ensuring she could never escape again.…Drake quickly caught wind of Rebecca's flight.He raised an eyebrow and muttered, "What an idiot."Back when she was in Saintornia, his men couldn't move against her. But now that she had run off, it was the perfect opportunity for him.A woman who dared to play him? He would never let her off the hook.What's more, she knew far too much about his past.Although she had been silent for the past five years, letting her remain out there with all his secrets… he couldn't stand for that.The only ones who could keep a secret were the dead."Find her. I don't want her to live much longer," Drake ordered."Yes, sir!" his men said in unison.…Rebecca spent three days on the bus before finally

Once Rebecca had the money, she'd immediately inform Sullivan that she had set the timer and planned to let him live in fear for the next month. She was determined to make him experience what it was like to lose everything—and his freedom.Meanwhile, Sullivan grew increasingly anxious as Rebecca continued to ignore him. Though concerned, he wasn't yet ready to hand over the money.He remained wary of her, unconvinced that paying her would guarantee she'd leave him alone. Reluctantly, he gathered the money and called her directly.The call connected after just two rings.Rebecca's voice was cold. "Is the money ready?""It's ready, but I don't trust you," Sullivan replied.At this point, both of them had discarded any pretense of politeness. There was no more pretending.Rebecca sneered. "You don't have much of a choice, do you?"Sullivan snickered. "I know you've run from Saintornia. You must be desperate for money. No money means you're stuck. If I'm right, you want to escape t

Soon, a cold object pressed against Rebecca's forehead.Her face turned pale with fear, her body trembling. "W-Who are you? Don't kill me, I have money... I can give you 75,000 dollars..."The man in front of her had an ordinary face—one that blended into any crowd, so forgettable that anyone would easily forget it as soon as they looked away.Hearing her words, the man smirked cruelly. "You don't need to know who I am. Just know that I'm here to kill you.""No—" Before Rebecca could say another word, she was knocked unconscious.An hour later, the man, wearing a mask, dragged a heavy suitcase out the door. As he left, he casually picked up the phone that had fallen outside and took it with him.Three days later…Nathaniel's team tracked down the address where Rebecca had been renting.After a thorough search, they found only a suitcase of clothes and Rebecca's ID, but no sign of her."Mr. Preston, we couldn't find Mrs. Preston. She didn't take her ID, so it doesn't seem like

The call ended with the sound of a dial tone.Tom slammed his phone onto the floor with a scowl. The screen shattered instantly, reflecting his grim expression.…Sullivan, unable to reach Rebecca, began to feel a growing sense of anxiety.What if Rebecca had taken the money and then gone back on her word, sending those incriminating documents to Damon?Upon thinking of her past behavior, Sullivan's anxiety deepened, but he had no idea where she was. All he could do was wait for her to contact him."Sullivan. Sullivan? What's wrong with you?" Demi asked.Sullivan snapped out of his thoughts and looked over at Demi, forcing a smile. "What's going on?"Demi handed him a file and reported, "There's an issue with this data. We need to verify it with Nyla. If these numbers are wrong, the experiment will need to be redone."Sullivan glanced at the file and took it from her. "Got it. I'll go to her. You take care of the other tasks."Actually, Demi had planned to ask Nyla herself, b

Not long after Sullivan left, Ruby sent him a message.Ruby: [Sullivan, I'm really busy today, I might not have time for dinner. Don't wait for me, sorry.]She sent the message, but there was no reply from Sullivan.…By the time evening came and Nyla was packing up to leave, she noticed that Ruby was still at her desk.Raising an eyebrow, she asked, "Ruby, why haven't you left yet? I thought all the work for today was done."Ruby stiffened for a moment before forcing a smile. "There are a few more data points I want to double-check to avoid any mistakes. You go ahead. I'll stay a bit longer."Nyla nodded. "Alright, but don't stay too late. Go home early.""Okay," Ruby replied.After Nyla left, Ruby lingered in the office for a while before finally turning off her computer and heading out.An hour earlier, Sullivan had sent her the address of the restaurant, along with a pitiful picture of himself in a cab, his arm in a cast.Ruby chose to ignore it, but her mood was still a

If Damon had known that Clark would cheat on Nyla, and that he himself would end up liking her so much, he would've snatched her away from Clark.Nyla was taken aback. She had only made the comment casually, but Damon actually confessed.For some reason, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little shy.She hadn't expected Damon to have been interested in her so early.Back then, however, she had been deeply in love with Clark, so no one else would have caught her eye. Even if Damon had pursued her then, she definitely wouldn't have agreed."I can't believe you were already in love with me back then. I guess being too charming has its drawbacks," she joked.Her playful self-absorption made Damon smile even more, his gaze full of tenderness."But I'm still curious—what was our first meeting like? Was I so beautiful and stunning that you couldn't take your eyes off me?" Nyla asked.Damon replied, "Not exactly. You were actually in quite a messy state."Nyla fell silent. She h

Unfortunately, there was no such thing as "what if". At least, in the end, they did meet again, and now, they were together.Half an hour later, Damon's black Cayenne pulled up outside a restaurant. He and Nyla got out of the car and walked inside. Just as they reached the entrance, they ran into Jane.Jane was walking out with a middle-aged man in a suit. Both of them were smiling, but when they saw Damon, they both stopped in their tracks.The middle-aged man greeted Damon with a smile, "Mr. Sumner, are you here for dinner with your girlfriend?""Yes, Mr. Tonra. Are you and Ms. Wilkie here for a business meeting?" Damon asked.Shane nodded and smiled. "Yes, we're almost done."Damon didn't press further. "Alright, let's have a meal together next time.""Sounds good," Shane replied.Throughout the exchange, Jane didn't get a chance to speak to Damon.After what had happened with Mason and Wilhelm, she didn't have the nerve to speak to him anyway. She left with Shane, her head

"Thank you, Damon!" Nyla exclaimed.She looked up at him, her eyes glistening with tears. This thank you was not just for him rescuing her from danger all those times, but also for his unwavering love and the fact that he had never given up on her. He had chosen her, steadfastly.Damon reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, his voice tender. "Silly girl, more than 'thank you', I want to hear you say 'I love you'."Nyla's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but lower her gaze. "There are other people here."She was reserved and not used to being overly affectionate with someone she liked in front of others.Upon seeing her blushing, Damon's mood lifted, and he smiled. "Alright, then when we're back tonight, say it just for me.""Okay..." Nyla agreed shyly.He guided her to her seat and handed her the menu. "Take a look at what you want to eat. This restaurant's foie gras and caviar are both good."Nyla nodded, flipping through the menu. She ordered

"That's more like it," Valarie chirped.Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, I— Ouch!"Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?""N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced."Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed."No..." Brandon murmured.Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you." Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we should—"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

"Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.…On the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

"Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detail—from the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyone—I never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtly—or sometimes not so subtly—hint that they should get married.Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with her—building a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?""I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meeting—it was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?""Sounds g

Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
