Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 432

The lawyer beside Gabriel quickly began negotiating the compensation with Prospectus Technology's legal representative.

Once they agreed on the amount, the Prospectus Technology lawyer returned to the company to inform Damon.

Damon's expression remained cold. "He can afford to pay hundreds of millions?"

Previously, Damon had investigated Gabriel and discovered that he was merely a researcher for a pharmaceutical company in Meristate. Regardless of his capabilities, it was unlikely he had accumulated such a fortune in just a few years.

The lawyer handed Damon a check. "Mr. Sumner, this is the check Gabriel has issued."

Damon glanced at the check with a cold stare.

Clearly, he had underestimated Gabriel. The fact that Gabriel could issue a check for hundreds of millions indicated there were aspects about him Damon had not yet discovered.

"I understand. You may leave now," Damon said dismissively.

After returning the check to the lawyer, Damon's demeanor reverted to its usual indifference.

"Mr. Sumner, should we continue with the lawsuit against Gabriel?" the lawyer inquired.

Damon's expression hardened, and his voice became low and frosty. "Since he has provided compensation, we'll proceed according to the process."

As the CEO of Prospectus Technology, Damon had to prioritize the company's interests.

Still, Gabriel's actions against Nyla had crossed a personal line, and he was not going to let it go easily.

The lawyer nodded. "Understood. Contelligence is also inclined to settle with compensation now."

"Then negotiate a fair price," Damon instructed.

"Got it," the lawyer replied.

Once the lawyer left, Damon picked up his phone from the desk, walked to the window, and dialed Nyla's number.

The call rang five times before it was answered.

"What's up?" Nyla asked.

Nyla was about to search for a restaurant when she received a message from Melody, asking to meet her the next day.

Melody had been released from the police station before Gabriel was taken away. If it hadn't been for her father's hospitalization, she would have contacted Nyla right after leaving the station.

After some thought, Nyla agreed and arranged to meet at a cafe near Prospectus Technology.

…

When Nyla arrived, Melody was already there, wearing sunglasses that covered most of her face, seemingly to avoid being recognized.

Nyla sat down across from her, her expression cold. "What do you want to talk about?"

Melody removed her sunglasses and looked at her with guilt in her eyes.

"Nyla, I'm sorry," she said.

Nyla's expression remained indifferent. "I'm not here to hear your apology. I want to know why you and Gabriel plotted against me. During our time working together, I believe I never did anything to wrong you."
