Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1023

Nyla paused, a flicker of surprise crossing her face before she said, "Because of me? That's impossible."

Five years ago, Gabriel had confessed his feelings for her, but that seemed like a lifetime ago.

Now, he had a family with Jane and even a child.

How could he possibly still have feelings for her? She didn't think herself attractive enough to make him leave Jane.

"I'm just repeating what I heard. Don't take it seriously," Valarie said. "Who knows what's going on in his head? Maybe he just doesn't like Jane anymore and is using you as an excuse."

"Hmm. Alright, I've got to go. I have an experiment to prepare for," Nyla said.

After ending the call, Nyla didn't dwell on Valarie's words. Instead, she set her phone aside and focused on preparing the lab equipment for her experiment.

News of Gabriel's divorce had reached Damon, who sat in his office on the top floor. His sharp eyes narrowed, and his entire demeanor turned icy, radiating danger.

It seemed Gabriel was preparing to take direct action against Prospectus Technology.

"Mr. Sumner, Gabriel returned the gaming company to the Wilkie Group as part of the divorce settlement," Spencer reported.

Damon's expression remained impassive. "Let's wait and see what his next move is."

"Understood," Spencer replied.

Later that evening, Nyla brought up the divorce news with Damon on their way home.

"I heard about that," Damon said, gripping the folder so tightly his knuckles turned white.

He chose not to tell Nyla that Gabriel's real target was her, sparing her unnecessary worry.

Noticing Damon's somber expression, Nyla asked, "Is something wrong? Is the company facing issues?"
