Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1378

Brad's expression darkened. "Michelle, Stefan is your brother. And for the record, when your mother left the company to me, it was just a small business. I was the one who built it into a publicly traded corporation. You threw away your own future for a man. That's your own fault."

"No! I won't let you give the Snowden Group to Stefan! If you dare, my mother's ghost will haunt you forever!" Michelle screamed.

Her threats didn't faze Brad in the slightest.

He rose to his feet, looking down at her. "You've lost your mind. I'll get you a lawyer, but you'll have to face the consequences of what you did."

With that, he turned and walked away.

Michelle's eyes burned with fury and hatred.

"Dad! Don't go! You can't do this to me! Dad! I know I was wrong! Come back!" she screamed after him.

No matter how much she yelled, Brad never looked back.

Despair crept into her expression as her screams faded.

…

For the next half-month, Brandon and Valarie didn't contact each other.

It was a standoff, both waiting to see who would cave first.

At the end of the month, Nyla and her family returned from abroad. She called Valarie, saying she had brought her a gift and told her to come pick it up when she had time.

Valarie got the call right after work and drove straight over, not expecting to run into Brandon at the villa's entrance.

They hadn't seen each other in two weeks. The moment she spotted him, her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively halted.

"I love them! Thank you, Nyla!" Valarie exclaimed.

No woman could resist beautiful accessories.

Nyla took her hand. "I have another gift for you upstairs. It's a private one. Come with me."

Valarie blinked. "What kind of gift?"

"You'll see."

Setting down the jewelry box, Valarie followed Nyla to the bedroom.

Nyla pulled a box from her closet and handed it to her. "I saw this dress while I was abroad and immediately thought of you. Try it on and see if it fits."
