Valarie smirked. "I know. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have things to do."
Anthony stepped aside with a nod, and Valarie got back into her car, driving off.
She had originally planned to meet Nyla, but changed her mind and headed straight for the Genge residence instead.
When she arrived, a maid greeted her, "Ms. Weir, Mr. Genge is waiting for you in the living room."
Valarie snickered. Tom had known all along she would come.
Entering the living room, she found Tom lounging on the sofa with a smile. She mirrored his expression and sat across from him.
"Tom, didn't I tell you I want nothing to do with you and don't want to see you again?" Valarie asked.
Although she was smiling, her gaze was icy, filled with disdain.
Tom was unfazed by her attitude. Calmly, he poured her a cup of coffee. "I can't stand seeing anyone bully you, so I did something about it. How is that wrong?"
Valarie took the cup he handed her and promptly poured its contents into the trash bin beside her.
"I don't need your fake kindness!" she snapped.
Tom raised an eyebrow. "Fake? Is Brandon's affection any more real?"
"At least he's more genuine than you," Valarie shot back.
Her words wiped the smile off Tom's face.
With that, she turned to leave.
Watching her go, Tom smirked. "Well, Valarie, if you trust Brandon that much, let's see if he can resist temptation."
Valarie halted, turning back to glare at him. "Tom, the more you meddle, the more I despise you. If you try anything with Brandon, I won't let you get away with it!"
Seeing her so fiercely defend Brandon wiped the smile from Tom's face, leaving him cold.
He stepped closer, an ominous tension filling the air. "Valarie, if you keep defending him, I can't guarantee what I might do."
Valarie held his gaze, unafraid. "Do whatever you want. It won't change anything, and I'm not scared. But don't think for a second I'll come back to you."

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
