Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Nyla wasn't prepared for what happened next. Her lower back slammed against the edge of the marble sink, sending a sharp pain shooting through her body. Her face turned pale. Nathaniel quickly rushed over to support a swaying Rebecca, his expression anxious. "Rebecca, are you alright?"

A bruise was already forming on Rebecca's forehead, but she managed a weak smile. "Nathaniel, I'm fine. Ms. Jayston didn't do it on purpose... Besides, I just got back, and Damon broke up with her. It's only natural for her to be angry with me..."

Nathaniel's expression darkened as he glared at Nyla. "Rebecca and Damon were together before. They're just getting back together now. No matter how unhappy you are, there's nothing you can do about it. If I see you lay a hand on Rebecca again, I won't let you off easy!" Nyla had been caught off guard by Rebecca's little stunt, and her back still throbbed from when Nathaniel had shoved her into the sink.

Already irritated, she couldn't help but sneer at his words. "Mr. Preston, by your logic, since Rebecca and Damon are a couple, it should be Damon saying this to me, not you. Anyone who doesn't know better would think you were her boyfriend."

Nathaniel's expression darkened further, his eyes cold. "Considering you were with Damon before, I'll let this slide if you apologize now. Otherwise, when Damon shows up, you won't be able to handle the consequences!"

Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice came from the side. "Apologize for what?"

Nathaniel turned to see Damon and said coldly, "Damon, you're just in time. Ms. Jayston pushed Rebecca on purpose. Who knows what could have happened if I hadn't stepped in?"
