Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Chapter 685



Oliver stopped and looked at Nyla, his gaze a little dimmed.

After a few seconds, he sighed. "Nyla, I shouldn't have gotten angry with you... I'm sorry."

He had been upset about her arriving with Damon, but most of his anger had melted away the moment she held his hand.

Nyla gazed at him and said softly, "It was my fault. You have every right to be upset. I didn't consider your feelings."

Since she had agreed to be with Oliver, she knew she should keep her distance from other men, especially since she and Damon shared a past. It was only natural for Oliver to feel uneasy about their interactions.

Oliver's gaze softened. "It's just a small matter. Let's move on. Shall we head inside?"

"Okay," Nyla replied.

As they entered the auction venue, Nyla finally felt the intense gaze on her back fade away.

Valarie, who was also attending the auction, saw Nyla and immediately approached her with a smile. "Nyla, you're here too!"

Nyla was pleasantly surprised to see her. "Yes, it's been so long since we last met."

Valarie pulled Nyla aside and playfully glanced at Oliver. "Mr. Raynor, I'm going to borrow Nyla for a while. You don't mind, do you?"

Oliver chuckled. "I wouldn't dare."

After finding out Nyla was alive, Valarie had confronted Oliver and given him a piece of her mind. He had apologized multiple times before she finally forgave him.

"Good to hear." With that, Valarie led Nyla away.

While watching them walk off, the smile on Oliver's face deepened. He thought Nyla must be happy to be back in Saintornia and reconnecting with Valarie.

A few people nearby recognized him and came over to chat, so he soon engaged in conversation with his business associates.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Meanwhile, Valarie guided Nyla to a cozy corner and whispered, "Nyla, guess who showed up today?"

Nyla thought for a moment and shook her head. "I've been away from Saintornia for years. How would I know?"

"It's someone you know," Valarie supplied.

Nyla frowned, trying to guess. "Could it be Gabriel?"

She had seen Gabriel on TV occasionally over the years. He had started a pharmaceutical company that grew rapidly, often competing with Prospectus Technology and ever poaching several of its

employees. He was quite a

headache for them.

Nevertheless, they were no longer in the same world.

Gabriel had moved on, gotten married, and even had a child. If they were to meet again, he likely wouldn't react the same way he did in the past. "Nope, guess again. Who used to give you the most trouble?" Valarie hinted.

"I really can't think of anyone. Just tell me," Nyla said.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing. It's Rebecca," Valarie answered.

Nyla's gaze hardened. No one had mentioned that name to her in five years, but just hearing it again filled her with deep disgust.

"She didn't leave Saintornia?" she asked.

"You wish. After your accident five years ago, Damon forced her to

Nyla lowered her gaze, suppressing the emotions stirring within her. "Her situation has nothing to do with me. I don't care."

Valarie gossiped, "Right, but I'm

Seeing the glint of gossip in Valarie's eyes, Nyla shook her head, her interest lacking. "Her affairs have nothing to do with me."
