Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1007

At Prospectus Technology, small private chat groups among employees buzzed with activity as everyone discussed Wren's apology video.

The entire company was aware of the scene Wren had caused earlier, and clips of her outburst had circulated in various employee group chats.

When Damon found out, he issued a strict notice forbidding employees from sharing the video further. Anyone caught distributing it would have their bonuses docked.

To incentivize compliance, he offered a 400-dollar reward for the anonymous reporting of violators.

No one dared share the video openly anymore, but discussions about it continued in private.

"Wren looked so arrogant in that video. How did she apologize so quickly? Did Mr. Sumner threaten her?"

"Considering how much Mr. Sumner cares about Nyla, that's definitely possible."

In the lab…

Leon noticed the trending video and immediately handed his phone to Nyla. "Take a look at this, Nyla."

Nyla glanced at the video on the screen.

Upon seeing Wren apologize so earnestly, a flicker of surprise crossed her face.

Given Wren's personality, she wouldn't normally apologize. Could someone have forced her?

She handed the phone back to Leon and passed him her experiment log. "Record this for me. I'll be back in a bit."

Stepping out of the lab, Nyla pulled out her phone and sent a message to Damon, asking if he was behind Wren's apology.

Damon responded quickly.

Damon: [No, I had Spencer look into it. It was most likely Gabriel's doing.]

The situation was different now. She couldn't let go of Gabriel just yet. Perhaps this mother-in-law could still be of use.

Wren huffed indignantly. "At least you know!"

Jane moved to sit beside her, gently patting her back to soothe her. "Mom, now that Gabriel is so focused on Nyla, he's ignoring both me and Wilhelm—and even you, his own mother. We need to think of a way to stop him."

"This is your fault!" Wren snapped. "You've been with him for five years and couldn't win his heart. Now that Nyla is back, he's already asking for a divorce. You're useless!"

Jane's hand froze mid-pat, her expression darkening briefly.

She'd done so much for Gabriel over the years. She'd gotten him into the Wilkie Group's gaming company and borne him a child—what more could she have done?

"Mom, that's not fair. I've done everything a wife should do. Who could've predicted Nyla would return?" she retorted.
