Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 328

Mockery flashed in Connor Bambra's eyes. "Why is it that you can dish it out, but you can't take it?"

Erin stood up, sneering. "You think standing up for Rebecca will get you a partnership with Prospectus Technology? Idiot!"

Although Connor had been thinking along those lines, being called out by Erin before everyone made his face darken with anger.

"I think you're just bitter because you can't get the man you want, and now you're lashing out at everyone," he taunted.

"You—" Erin was livid. She shot to her feet and said coldly, "You'll regret this!"

With that, she spun around and stormed out of the room.

Throughout the ordeal, Damon watched the scene unfold with an indifferent expression, not a hint of emotion on his face.

The room quickly returned to its lively atmosphere, as if nothing had happened.

Despite the apparent calm, Rebecca couldn't shake her unease.

In the past, even if someone spoke ill of her behind her back, Damon would never have let it slide if he found out. Yet just now, Erin had called her a homewrecker to her face, and Damon hadn't even reacted.

It seemed he truly didn't love her anymore. If it weren't for the favor of saving his life, which she used to blackmail him, he probably wouldn't even let her near him. The thought made her chest tighten.

Rebecca stood up and told everyone with a forced smile, "You all keep chatting. I need to use the restroom."

After stepping out of the room, she took a deep breath, hoping to release her frustration with the exhale, but it didn't help.

She walked to the window at the end of the hallway, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it. Her expression was full of irritation.

Whether Damon loved her or not, she had to marry him.

…

Meanwhile, the enraged Erin was about to leave after storming out of the room when she spotted Nyla. Her eyes narrowed as she changed course and headed straight for her.

Erin sneered. "So what if they were together? He dumped her in no time. To Damon, she was just a distraction while Rebecca was away!"

Valarie slammed her cutlery onto the table, glaring at Erin. "Keep spewing your nonsense, and I'll tear your mouth off!"

Erin scoffed. "I'm just telling the truth. Oh, by the way, Damon is hosting a welcome-back party for Rebecca in Room 1. If you don't want to embarrass yourselves, I suggest you finish eating and leave."

With that, she walked away with a smile and her chin held high.

Valarie, shaking with anger, stood up and started toward Room 1.

Nyla quickly got up and grabbed her arm. "Valarie, don't go."

"Let me go! I'm going to crash that party! Rebecca just got back, and Damon's already broken up with you. This is too much!" Valarie hissed.

"I was the one who ended things, and I don't want anything more to do with them," Nyla said.
