Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex! novel Chapter 90

**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond**
by Sage Hunter Lane

A chilling glimmer flickered in Tom’s eyes, a spark of concern igniting within him. Was Jacqueline, in her impulsive determination, being manipulated by Erin? Despite his reservations about her choices, Tom understood that Jacqueline’s actions stemmed from a place of care for him.

“Jacqueline, you need to reconsider this path you’re taking. Damon is a merciless individual; he shows no compassion to those who cross him. Engaging with him will only lead to chaos,” he cautioned, his voice carrying a weight that echoed in the air between them.

Jacqueline, feeling the intensity of Tom’s gaze, hesitated, biting her lip in contemplation. “Tom,” she spoke cautiously, “Ms. Jayston wasn’t harmed in any way. If I had simply apologized, this could have been resolved. But she wouldn’t let me off the hook. Do you think it’s because of Ms. Weir?”

Tom’s expression hardened further, his eyes narrowing as he processed her words. “Are you suggesting that she’s retaliating against you because of Valarie?” His tone was icy, a hint of disbelief lacing his inquiry.

“Honestly, I can’t fathom any other reason for her relentless pursuit,” Jacqueline admitted, her voice tinged with frustration.

The connection between Nyla and Valarie was undeniable; they were close friends, and Valarie had misconstrued Tom’s relationship with Jacqueline. If Nyla was indeed seeking to teach Jacqueline a lesson on behalf of Valarie, it would certainly explain the situation.

As Tom remained silent, his face a mask of grim contemplation, Jacqueline chose to hold her tongue. She understood that sometimes, silence spoke louder than words, and she was cautious not to provoke him further.

After what felt like an eternity, Tom finally broke the silence, his voice cold and resolute. “I’ll take you home first.”

Jacqueline recognized the importance of navigating Tom’s moods with care; she nodded in agreement, her voice soft. “Okay.”

Meanwhile, Nyla lingered at the auction, her heart set on finding a particular individual who never materialized. This person had once held a prestigious position at Harris Pharmaceuticals and had shifted to another company following its collapse. He was privy to the investigation surrounding the incident that had shaken their lives, possessing knowledge that could illuminate the shadows of the past.
