Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 139

Jacqueline screamed, clutching her dress in desperation, her eyes filled with terror. “No! Don’t come any closer! I’ll kneel and apologize!”

She had initially thought Damon was merely trying to scare her, but now she saw that his men were actually advancing. He was mad. She would rather be dead than exposed in front of everyone. Kneeling and apologizing seemed preferable.

Damon’s expression remained icy as he sneered. “Alright, back off.”

The men in black retreated, leaving Jacqueline on the floor, desperately holding onto her dress. Her hair and clothes were in disarray, and she looked utterly disheveled.

Trembling with fear, she crawled over and knelt before Nyla.

“Ms. Jayston, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have framed you. I was wrong. I’ll never do it again. Please forgive me…” she pleaded.

Nyla regarded her with indifference, feeling no sympathy. Had she not discovered the necklace in her bag, she might have been the one facing humiliation now.
