Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

As Melody spoke, she kept her eyes locked on Gabriel's. His eyes widened slightly, turning her suspicion into certainty.

"Why are you doing this to Nyla? Isn't she like a sister to you?" she demanded.

Initially shocked, Gabriel quickly regained his usual gentle demeanor. "Melody, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"No one understands better than you. Did you put sleeping pills in the coffee you've been sending us?" Melody pressed.

Her tone was firm, and her eyes burned with anger as she stared at Gabriel.

He had been so considerate, claiming that working in the lab every day was exhausting, so he would send coffee to help them stay awake. He had even asked her not to tell Nyla.

Blinded by love, she had believed he genuinely wanted to build a good relationship with Nyla. Looking back now, she felt foolish!

She had handed Nyla the very coffee that led to the data leak scandal. The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, and her eyes welled up with tears. She felt like an accomplice. Gabriel's expression remained calm and gentle, though a trace of helplessness flickered in his eyes.
