Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1333

At present, nothing mattered to Brandon except Valarie. If Jayden insisted on forcing him to see Michelle, their friendship might not survive.

Yale nodded. "Got it. I'll mention it, but I won't push it if he doesn't listen."

He and Nolan had a clear view of the situation and weren't planning on getting too involved. They didn't want to end up stuck in the middle, trying to please both sides and failing.

…

The news of Brandon stepping down as CEO of the Sumner Group spread quickly through Saintornia.

As soon as Michelle heard about it, she called Jayden.

"Jayden, I just saw online that Brandon resigned as CEO of the Sumner Group. What's going on?" Her voice trembled with worry.

There was a brief silence on the other end before Jayden responded in a low voice. "I don't know yet. I'll ask around."

"Jayden, do you think it's because of that exposé you had someone post online? Maybe you should have them take it down. I want to see him, but I don't want him to leave the Sumner Group because of me," Michelle said.

The line went silent after she spoke.

After a few seconds, with no response, Michelle frowned. "Jayden? What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? If you're busy, I can call you later."

"No, it's fine," Jayden said flatly. "I'll take care of it. You should rest."

With that, he hung up.

Michelle was too focused on the news of Brandon's resignation to notice the odd tone in Jayden's voice. Even if she had, she probably wouldn't have cared.

After all, she had always believed Jayden liked her so much he would never leave her, no matter what.

…

Jayden set his phone down and called his assistant into the office. "Contact the blogger who posted the exposé about Brandon being ungrateful and have them delete all their posts. Also, remove any trending topics related to it. Get it done by tomorrow morning."
