Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 814

Rebecca's heart settled a bit as she quickly took out her phone to message Sullivan.

Back in his study, Nathaniel's expression was as dark as ever. Having spent over five years under the same roof as Rebecca, he was certain she was hiding something from him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked so distressed earlier.

He immediately contacted his secretary, instructing him to investigate what had happened during Rebecca's time abroad.

The secretary hesitated. "Mr. Preston, the company has only 400,000 dollars in available funds. Investigating what happened with Mrs. Preston overseas several years ago could be quite expensive…"

Besides, he thought, every penny was crucial for the company right now. Spending it to look into Rebecca felt like a waste.

Nathaniel's expression turned icy as he instructed, "Use my personal account for this investigation. We must uncover the truth, no matter what!"

He understood Damon's temperament. If he couldn't present useful information next time, Damon wouldn't give him a second chance.

He had to uncover the influence behind Rebecca!

"Understood," his secretary replied.

…

Sullivan was sipping the chicken soup Ruby had brought him, and the atmosphere in the hospital ward felt quiet.

He glanced at Ruby, who hung her head, seemingly lost in thought.

"Ruby, you look troubled. Is something wrong?" he asked.

Ruby looked up at him, her expression giving nothing away. "It's nothing."

Sullivan tightened his grip on the spoon, feeling as though Ruby's attitude hadn't changed much despite having saved her. Did she really not have any feelings for him?

The thought darkened his gaze.
