Chapter 492
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
Rebeccaâs whole body froze in shock.
âNathaniel⦠wâwhat did you say?â she asked.
Nathaniel looked at her and replied slowly, âDidnât you just say you wanted to stay with me?â
Panicked, Rebecca shook her head. âNo⦠I donât want to gol Please, spare me, Nathaniel. I know I was wrong. Donât do this to me⦠I canât live like that Without legs, how could she live?
Seeing her in such a state, Nathaniel felt only disgust. âHow could you not live? Donât worry. Iâll make sure you live well!â
His grim expression sent a chill down Rebeccaâs spine.
âNo! No! I want to leave! I want to leave!â she cried.
She tried to crawl toward the door, pushing with her hands. Before she could get close, two blackâclad bodyguards dragged her away.
âNo! Nathaniel, please spare me! Pleaseâ¦â Rebecca pleaded.
Her cries grew faint and eventually disappeared.
Troy stood by, his head lowered, unable to meet Nathanielâs gaze. âMr. Preston, Iâm sorry.â
âWhy did you listen to Rebecca?â Nathaniel questioned.
Faced with Nathanielâs icy stare, Troy clenched his hands subconsciously, his mind in turmoil.
If Nathaniel found out about that matter, Troy knew he wouldnât be allowed to stay. Even if he didnât speak up, Nathaniel would eventually discover the tru Seeing Troyâs silence, Nathaniel said coldly, âTroy, youâve been with me for years. You should know my character. If you donât come forward, I will find ou Troy took a deep breath and finally confessed that he had used company investment funds for stock speculation.
Hearing this, Nathaniel threw the documents in his hand at Troy, enraged. âYou let yourself be blackmailed by her over such a small thing? What an idiot Nathanielâs fury was almost overwhelming.
The thought that such a trivial matter had given Rebecca the chance to have Nyla killedâand turned him from Damonâs friend into an enemyâ
made him want to kill both Rebecca and Troy on the spot.
His eyes were filled with frost, causing Troy to tremble uncontrollably.
âMr. Preston⦠whatever you decideâwhether itâs calling the police or something elseâI accept it. Iâm the one who dragged you downâ¦â Troy said.
âGet out!â Nathaniel barked. âGet out!â
N After Troy left, Nathaniel swept everything off his desk in a fit of rage.
At least Damon had given him a chance. If he married Rebecca, he could save the Preston Group.
On the way back to Prospectus Technology, Spencer couldnât help but glance at Damon, who was resting with his eyes closed in the backseat.
He asked, âMr. Sumner⦠are you really going to let Nathaniel and Rebecca off like this?â
They were the ones primarily responsible for Nylaâs death. If it were up to him, he would never let them go, let alone allow them to get married..
Damon opened his eyes, his expression indifferent. âYou talk too much.â
Upon meeting Damonâs cold gaze, Spencerâs heart lurched. He quickly looked away, not daring to speak further.
Since Nylaâs jump, Damon had become even colder and more indifferent, making him hard to approach. Spencerâs unease only grew stronger, sensing t As soon as they arrived at Prospectus Technology, their car was stopped.
Damonâs expression remained neutral upon seeing Clark.
Clark, visibly agitated and full of anger, shouted, âUncle Damon, youâre the one who killed Nyla! Are you pleased now? Iâll never forgive you for this!â
âMr. Sumnerâ¦â Spencer was about to ask what Damon wanted to do, but the latter coldly ordered, âJust drive over him.â
Spencer was startled. âBut Mr. Clarkâ¦â
