Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1131

After hesitating, Nyla spoke. "On my way to pick up Buddy today, Drake's men stopped me. He said he wanted to talk and share something about my mom, but I refused."

Damon's expression darkened. "Understood. I'll assign more people to protect you and Buddy. He won't get another chance to approach you."

Nyla bit her lip, lifting her gaze to his. "These past few days, I've been feeling uneasy, like something bad will happen."

Sensing her anxiety, Damon pulled her into his arms and spoke softly to reassure her. "Don't worry, I'm here. As long as Prospectus Technology and I are standing, no one will harm you or Buddy."

"Okay," she said quietly. "Let's eat. I don't want to think about this anymore."

"Alright. Don't worry. I've got it covered," Damon replied.

Drake had barely left the Genge residence when his phone rang.

Alexander was calling, requesting a meeting.

Drake arrived at the restaurant Alexander mentioned, and a server led him to a private room.

"Mr. Kinsey, what can I do for you?" Drake asked as he stepped inside.

Alexander poured himself a glass of water. "I heard you approached Nyla today."

Drake blinked in surprise but quickly masked it with a smile. "You're well-informed, Mr. Kinsey."

Alexander sipped his water in silence, the atmosphere in the room growing heavy.

The sharpness of Alexander's words hit like a blow.

Drake's face turned pale as his hands clenched at his sides, nails biting into his palms.

After a long pause, he said, "Mr. Kinsey, with my help, Nyla has a much better chance of returning to the Nixons and staying safe when she gets there. That's something even you can't guarantee."

Alexander's primary goal in coming to Saintornia was to prepare Nyla for her return to Meristate and the competition for her place in the Nixons.

However, his prominent status meant any visible support he offered would make her an immediate target. Drake's argument wasn't without merit.

Alexander's expression remained cold. "What do you want in return?"
