Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Chapter 686



Nyla hadn't expected Damon to force Rebecca to marry Nathaniel.

"After everything she put you through, you don't want to get back at her?" Valarie asked.

If it were five years ago, Nyla might have sought revenge.

Since having Mason, her only goal had been to work hard and provide a happy, carefree life for him. Other matters simply didn't hold the same significance anymore.

"Didn't you say she married Nathaniel and suffers frequent abuse? That sounds like retribution to me," Nyla replied.

Valarie pouted and scoffed. "You might be able to let it go, but I can't. She's been hiding for years, so I haven't had a chance to deal with her. Now that she's finally out in public, I definitely have to teach her a lesson."

Nyla frowned. "Valarie, I know you're trying to stand up for me, but it's not worth it. You said she's with that Mr. Nuttall, right? Don't go offending others because of me."

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," Valarie assured her.

Realizing that Valarie wouldn't listen, Nyla could only sigh helplessly.

Soon, the auction began.

Nyla wasn't interested in the jewelry anymore. She rested her chin in her hand and watched casually. In contrast, Valarie was fully engaged, frequently raising her paddle to bid.

Not long after the auction started, Rebecca noticed them. When she saw Nyla, her face darkened, and she dug her fingers into her palm, glaring at her with intense resentment.

Orlando sensed the shift in her mood and followed her gaze. When he saw Nyla sitting beside Valarie, his eyes flashed with intrigue. "You know her?" he asked.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Rebecca quickly looked away and said in a low voice, "No."

Orlando raised an eyebrow but didn't press further.

As the auction continued, Rebecca noticed that Valarie had won several pieces of jewelry.

A calculating look flashed in her eyes as she clung to Orlando's arm, her voice sweet and flirtatious. "Mr. Nuttall, I like that set of jewelry."

Orlando was clearly enjoying her attention. "Go ahead and bid. Anything under 15,000,000 dollars is yours."

He had recently taken an interest in Rebecca, so he was willing to spend some money to make her happy. "Thank you, Mr. Nuttall," Rebecca said sweetly.

Her flirtatious tone melted Orlando's heart, and he playfully pinched her waist.

As a result, every time Valarie expressed interest in a piece, Rebecca deliberately raised the price, causing Valarie to buy the jewelry at much higher amounts.

Despite this, Valarie remained calm, smiling all the while.

Soon, Valarie started bidding on a set valued at 7,000,000 dollars.

Rebecca raised the price again.

Valarie narrowed her eyes and called out directly, "15,000,000 dollars."

Rebecca raised her paddle at Valarie's provocative glance, calling, "20,000,000 dollars."

She was confident that Valarie

would continue bidding since Valarie had been pursuing this particular set she wanted it badly.

As soon as she made her bid, the room fell silent.

Orlando's face darkened. However, given the prominent figures present, he restrained himself from

Startled by his reaction, Rebecca explained in a whisper, "Mr. Nuttall, I don't intend to buy it. Valarie is sure to outbid me."

Orlando frowned. "You're sure?"

"Yes," Rebecca replied.

As soon as she spoke, the auctioneer began calling out, "20,000,000 dollars, going once!"

There were no other bids.

Rebecca looked appalled as she turned to Valarie, who was looking back at her with a mocking smile. It was clear Valarie had seen through her strategy.
