Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 951

Ruby nodded in understanding. "Alright, I understand. Thank you."

Paul stood up after she spoke. "I still have some work to finish. I'll take my leave now."

Once Paul left, Ruby gazed at the box in her hands, feeling puzzled.

She pondered over it for a moment before trying her birthday as the password, but it didn't work. She tried several other possible passwords related to Sullivan, but each attempt resulted in an error.

Eventually, after too many incorrect tries, the lock disabled itself for two hours.

Unable to think of any other possibilities, she decided to set the box aside for now and left the café.

…

News of the Sumner Group's alleged use of substandard construction materials had begun to spread quietly within the company.

Huxley was in the middle of a meeting with his team to discuss next month's work plans when his assistant suddenly rushed over.

"Mr. Lightner, y-you need to see this!" the assistant exclaimed, handing him a phone.

Huxley's face darkened as he read the screen, but he quickly regained his neutral expression. "I've got it. Let's not worry about that for now and continue with the meeting."

The others in the room were visibly curious about what the assistant had shown him but didn't dare to ask.

Huxley's serious, no-nonsense demeanor often left his subordinates feeling intimidated.

…

When the meeting concluded over an hour later, Huxley hurried out of the room with uncharacteristic urgency.

If it did, not only would he lose his job at the Sumner Group, but his reputation would be ruined as well. No company in Saintornia would hire him.

Although Tom had previously promised him a high salary if he helped with inside information on the Sumner Group, Huxley didn't fully trust him. That was why he had asked for 700,000 dollars upfront.

What worried him more was the potential fallout for his uncle, a shareholder in the Sumner Group who had helped him secure his job in the first place.

If this situation implicated his uncle, their families might become bitter enemies.

The more Huxley thought about it, the more he regretted agreeing to cooperate with Tom.

Tom chuckled. "Even if it does, so what? You can come work for the Genge Group. I've already promised you double your current salary. What's there to be afraid of?"

Grinding his teeth, Huxley replied, "Mr. Genge, I've reconsidered. This situation is too risky. I'll return the money you gave me. Find someone else for this. I'll act like I never knew anything about it."
