Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Chapter 678



After Nyla and her group introduced themselves, Ethan smiled and said, "Alright. Mr. Colwell and Ms. Jenner, your accommodations are ready. I'll take you there now."

"Thank you," Leon and Ruby replied.

Prospectus Technology had arranged for Leon and Ruby to stay in apartments just two blocks from the company. They each had a one-bedroom unit, and there were other out-of-town staff members on the same floor.

Seeing that they were satisfied with the arrangements, Ethan said apologetically, "Ms. Kinsey, I should have treated you all to a welcome dinner today, but I have a meeting shortly.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"If there's nothing else, please come to the office at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. I'll have someone issue your work IDs and access badges and give you a tour of the company."

Nyla nodded. "That's alright, Mr. Jack. We can handle dinner ourselves."

"Alright, I'll get going then. I apologize for the inconvenience today," Ethan said as he excused himself.

After Ethan left, Nyla planned to let Leon and Ruby rest for a while before taking them to dinner. However, both were excited and eager to explore since it was their first time in Saintornia.

"Nyla, you're a local. Take us around! I've heard there are a lot of shopping centers here, and I can't wait to check them out!" Ruby said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Leon also looked eager. "Yeah, Nyla! Before I left, my relatives gave me a shopping list and asked me to buy them things here."

Nyla nodded and replied, "Alright, let's go shopping first."

They spent the entire afternoon at the mall, and by the end, all of them were carrying bags full of items.

Seeing how tired they were, Nyla decided not to take them to the restaurant she had originally chosen. Instead, they found a popular eatery in the mall.

As they sat down, Leon and Ruby's faces glowed with excitement.

"Big cities like this really live up to the hype. I've learned so much

ay they gushed. "Yeah, I've had a chance to go shopping like this before!"

Nyla shot them an amused glance and quipped, "Capitarnia isn't bad either. You just never made the time to explore."

Ruby nodded. "We spend so much time in the lab that we don't feel like going out when we have time off."

Their lab was far from the city center, and with their busy schedules, they usually just wanted to rest during their breaks.

If it weren't for the fact that the

like going shopping today.

As they chatted and laughed, they remained oblivious to the hateful gaze fixed on Nyla from a distance.

Rebecca gripped her cutlery tightly, her eyes filled with jealousy and rage.

Why had she been living in misery for years while Nyla seemed so happy?

Die! She should just die! Nyla should die!

Rebecca trembled, and the smile she had been wearing twisted into a look of rage.

It was the screech of her knife

against the plate that prompted the man across from her to say with a frown, "If you don't want to eat, just put the utensils down. Don'to embarrass me in public."

Snapping back to reality, Rebecca shivered under Nathaniel's menacing gaze.

Forcing a smile, she nodded toward Nyla's table and said, "Nathaniel, look. Do you see who that is?"
