Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)

Clark looked at Nyla with a complicated expression, disappointment washing over him. In the past, her gaze had always been warm and loving, but now it was so cold. "Nyla, how have you been? I heard you're involved in a lawsuit over the leak of Prospectus Technology's experimental data. You-"

Nyla frowned and cut him off sharply, "That doesn't concern you. Just keep your woman in check and make sure she doesn't lash out at random people."

Without waiting for Clark's response, she let go of Jordyn and walked away.

Jordyn had wanted to confront her, but her expression changed when she noticed Clark's gaze lingering on Nyla as she left.

She wrapped her arm around Clark's, speaking softly. "Clark, we're here to look at rings today. Let's not let someone irrelevant spoil our mood."

Clark pulled his gaze away, looking at her with a trace of coldness. "If you see her again, treat her as a stranger or avoid her."

Jordyn's eyes flashed with anger, but she tightened her grip on Clark's arm and forced a smile. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Now that her relationship with Clark had finally improved, she didn't want to risk it by fighting over Nyla.

While choosing rings, Clark was clearly distracted.

Jordyn pretended not to notice, trying on several rings before selecting a pair she liked and having Clark pay for them.

After buying the rings, Clark sent Jordyn home and left.

The moment Clark was gone, Jordyn's smile vanished, replaced by a cold look.

She called Rebecca. "When are you going to make a move on Nyla?"

"Soon. You're not much help anyway. Why are you so impatient?" Rebecca retorted.

"That bitch staying in this world is like a thorn in my side. I want her gone now!" Jordyn hissed.

Rebecca chuckled. "If you're that eager, why don't you handle it yourself?"

After hanging up, Rebecca's

expression darkened. Ever since she publicly announced her relationship with Nathaniel, it seemed he had completely forgotten about dealing with Nyla.

She took a deep breath and carefully poured the soup she had made into a thermal container. After changing her clothes, she headed out to find Nathaniel.

She had been visiting him frequently lately, and the staff at the front desk now recognized her, allowing her to go up without any trouble.

As Rebecca approached Nathaniel's office and was about to push the door open, she overheard his cheerful voice coming from inside.

"Deal with Nyla? I've decided not to take any action against her anymore. After all, I'm with Rebecca now, and Nyla is someone Damon likes. fl keep targeting her, I won't even be able to stay friends with Damon," he said.

Rebecca's expression darkened. So everything Nathaniel had said before was just a way to keep her under control he never intended to keep his promises!

She had been so careful with him, making soups and bringing him different meals every day. What had all her efforts been for?

Seething with anger, Rebecca pushed the door open and stormed in.

Nathaniel looked startled to see her and quickly ended the call.

"Rebecca, what are you doing here?" he asked, trying to sound calm.

Rebecca sneered. "Nathaniel, you've been lying to me. You never planned to help me deal with Nyla, did you?!"
