Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Erin paused for a moment, instinctively asking, "It was you who sent me that message?!"

Nyla was done with the conversation.

She stood up and said, "Since you're already Damon's flancee, you should

make the most of it. Sometimes, it's more effective to go to him directly than to come here and make threats at me."

With that, she left the living room and headed upstairs.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Erin's anger lingered while watching her leave, but

a hint of contemplation crossed her eyes. Moments later, she grabbed her bag and hurried out of the villa.

Lydia, who had been waiting in the kitchen, finally breathed a sigh of relief when Erin left. She had

been worried about what would happen if the two women started fighting and had planned to inform Damon if

necessary.

It seemed that wouldn't be needed now.

Just as Erin was about to get into her car, she was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Ms. Hulle, I'm a maid here. My name is Maddie Lamb," the young woman introduced herself.

Erin frowned and asked coldly, "What do you want?"

She was impatient and in a hurry to find Damon, not wanting to waste time on someone irrelevant.

Maddie stepped closer and whispered, "Ms. Hulle, you're Mr. Sumner's fiancee, and only you deserve him, I

can't just watch as some schemer tries to take him away from you!

"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Nyla, and if anything happens, I'll contact you immediately!"

Erin raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? Really?"

If this maid could help monitor Nyla, that would be quite beneficial.

"Of course! I want to see you as the lady of this villa!" Maddie gushed.

Erin smiled as she took a card from her bag and slipped it into Maddie's hand. "Maddie, this card has 30,000 dollars on it. If you can provide me with useful information, you'll get a lot more than this."

Maddie's eyes widened in shock. Thirty thousand dollars?!

"Ms. Hulle, I can't accept this money..." she said.

"Take it. You deserve it. I have to go now, but I'll be waiting for good news from you," Erin told her.

Maddie clutched the bank card, her expression serious as she nodded. "Okay!"

Only after Erin's car disappeared from view did Maddie happily turn back toward the villa.

What she didn't see was that someone on the second floor had witnessed her conversation with Erin in its entirety.

Nyla returned to the couch, picking up the book she hadn't finished reading earlier.

Her phone buzzed beside her-a text from Caroline.

une: [Nyla, are you sure you want to do this? Once you start, there's no turning back.]

After reading the message, Nyla deleted it without replying.

From the moment Damon had used Mason

to threaten her, she had known there was no turning back. Mason was her bottom line. Anyone who tried to take him from her would have to pay the p Later that evening, when Damon returned home, his expression was dark.

The pressure in the living room dropped instantly.

Lydia and Maddie quickly fell

silent and retreated to the kitchen. After five years of working in the villa, they understood Damon's temperament well. When he was angry, it was bes avoid being in front of him. He just needed some time alone to calm down.

Nyla glanced up from her meal and raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Sumner, what happened? You look so upset."

Damon looked at her, his eyes icy. "It's none of your business."

Nyla smiled. “Of course, it's none of my business. I don't care, but you scared Buddy."

Damon froze, instinctively looking at

Mason, only to find the boy's gaze

filled with a hint of fear. This

realization deepened his frustration.
