Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 996

There was silence on the other end of the line before Gabriel's deep voice came through. "Mr. Sumner, Nyla probably doesn't want to see my mother."

"And you think she wants to see you?" Damon shot back.

"Mr. Sumner, just because she doesn't want to see me now doesn't mean she won't in the future," Gabriel retorted. "It's like how you're with her now. It doesn't mean you'll always be together, right? Don't you agree?"

Damon's gaze sharpened, his expression cold.

"Gabriel, let me warn you. Don't even think about anything inappropriate with her. If you do, don't think you're safe just because you're the CEO of Nyce Tech. Even if you're the richest person in the country, I'll make sure you have nothing," Damon warned.

"Mr. Sumner, you talk big. I'll be watching closely to see how you make me lose everything!" Gabriel replied, then hung up.

Damon set his phone down, his face darkening.

It seemed Gabriel was ready to leave Saintornia for good.

...

That evening, as Nyla got into the car, she immediately sensed something was off in the air.

She glanced at Damon and saw his grim expression.

Raising an eyebrow, she asked, "What's wrong? Did someone make you mad?"

"Why didn't you tell me about what happened with Wren today?" Damon asked.

Surprise flashed in Nyla's eyes. "How did you find out about that?"

She hadn't expected Damon to know about it. After all, Wren hadn't caused much of a scene before being escorted out by security.

Given Damon's busy schedule, he shouldn't have known about it.

Damon's lips were pressed into a tight line.

"You went through all that trouble and didn't tell me a word. Nyla, do you even consider me your boyfriend?" he asked.
