Nathaniel cut her off. “If you really don’t want to upset me, then go public about your breakup with Damon right now and announce our relationship.”

Rebecca fell silent, frustration and hesitation flashing in her eyes.

She couldn’t understand why Nathaniel, who had always been so accommodating, was suddenly pushing her like this.

She had just told Damon that she and Nathaniel were only friends. If she turned around and made their relationship public, how would Damon perceive her?

“Nathaniel, do you really have to force me?” she asked.

Nathaniel chuckled. “Rebecca, it’s because you’ve never given me any security in this relationship that we’re at this point. Either you make it public or never show up in front of me again. If I don’t see an announcement by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, I’ll assume you’ve made your choice.”

Before she could respond, he hung up.

Rebecca frantically tried to call him back several times, but he didn’t answer. It was clear–he was forcing her to choose. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She was furious but also realized that, aside from Nathaniel’s feelings for her, she had nothing else to rely on right now.

The idea of going public? She couldn’t accept it.

Once she announced her relationship with Nathaniel, it would be nearly impossible to reconnect with Damon in the future.

After a sleepless night of contemplation, Rebecca saw no other option and grudgingly posted online.

Her post quickly went viral.

The next morning at breakfast, Valarie brought it up. “You wouldn’t believe the nonsense Rebecca posted! She said that after getting back with Damon, she realized they had missed too many years and were no longer compatible, so they broke up and stayed friends. The nerve! That’s not what she said when she stole Damon from you!”

Nyla quietly took a bite of her bread, her expression calm. “I saw it. But honestly, if Damon hadn’t given her the opportunity, she wouldn’t have been able to interfere in our relationship in the first place.”

Seeing Nyla’s composure, Valarie hesitated before speaking again. “Now that Damon has broken up with her… You and Damon…”

“Whether they broke up or not, there’s no chance for me and Damon. Right now, my priority is studying for grad school. I’m not interested in relationships at the moment, “Nyla replied.

Both Clark and Damon had taught her that relying on romance wasn’t enough. She needed to be strong on her own.

“Alright, then,” Valarie relented.

They didn’t discuss it any further.

After breakfast, Valarie left for work, while Nyla returned to her room to study.

She had barely studied for an hour when she received a call from Wren.

“Nyla, what did you do to Gabriel? Why was he taken by the police?” Wren demanded.

Wren’s accusatory tone made Nyla frown.

“Maybe you should ask what Gabriel did to me. And consider why the police took him and not me.” With that, Nyla hung up and immediately blocked Wren.

Wren was shaking with anger. She turned to Harrison, seething. “Harrison, your daughter has really grown wings now. Not only has she cut ties with you, but now she’s had Gabriel sent to the police! It’s like she won’t stop until this family is torn apart!”

Harrison frowned, his voice serious. “Go to the police station and find out exactly what’s going on. We’ll discuss it after we know the full story.”

Since the police had taken Gabriel, it must be serious.

Deep down, Harrison still sided with Nyla–after all, the police had been involved.

Wren quickly nodded. “You’re right. I’ll go to the station and figure out what’s happening.”
