Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 429

Nyla responded to the message and transferred some money before putting her phone away and heading to the bathroom with her clothes.

…

Meanwhile, Damon received a call from Spencer on his way home.

"Mr. Sumner, a gossip account just posted a photo of Ms. Austen and Mr. Preston kissing at a restaurant, claiming she's cheating on you with him. The Internet is blowing up with people saying you've been played. Should we address it?" Spencer reported.

Damon's expression remained icy. "Ignore it. Let them handle it themselves."

He had already broken up with Rebecca. Whoever she was with now was none of his concern.

"Understood," Spencer replied.

As soon as Damon hung up, his phone rang again.

Seeing Rebecca's name on the screen, he hesitated but eventually answered. "I assume you've made up your mind about what you want?"

There was a brief silence on the other end before Rebecca's voice, filled with a touch of desperation, came through. "Damon, I called to explain. The picture of me and Nathaniel kissing is fake, taken from a misleading angle by the paparazzi. We're just friends."

Damon stopped the car, feeling a flicker of irritation. "Rebecca, we've already broken up. Whoever you're involved with is none of my business, and I don't care."

"Damon, do you really... not feel anything for me anymore?" Rebecca's voice trembled, revealing her disbelief at his apparent finality.

"I'm in love with Nyla now," Damon stated firmly.

"I understand... I won't bother you again," Rebecca replied, her voice breaking.

Damon ended the call and set down his phone, his expression detached as he started the car once more.
