Realizing that Alexander had no intention of helping him, Brian let out a cold laugh and stopped pleading. "Fine. Remember what you said today. Since you refuse to help us, from now on, we're enemies!"With that, he stood up and stormed out.Watching him leave, Alexander shook his head, sighed, and returned to his bedroom.Whatever had happened between them was no longer his concern, and he had no intention of getting involved further.…After storming out of Alexander's villa, Brian headed straight back to the estate. With Alexander refusing to help, Brian was left with no options for resolving the issue with the land in the south. Should he really go and beg the Bumards? The thought crossed his mind, but he dismissed it almost immediately. Even if the Bumards were willing to return the land, they'd surely demand an exorbitant price.The mere thought of it made Brian's expression darken. That night, no one in the estate slept well, except Nyla. …The next morning, B

When George arrived, Emerald wasted no time. "George, Brian is heading south. You're going with him."Surprised, George asked, "Ms. Kinsey, what is Mr. Nixon going there for?""The land we bought in the south fell through. We need to find a new one. Brian doesn't know the players down there, so I need you to guide him."Do not provoke anyone. If you haven't found the right property within two weeks, come back immediately," Emerald instructed.George nodded. "Understood. I'll start preparing now.""I'll have tickets booked for you both for tomorrow morning," Emerald said."Got it, Ms. Kinsey," George replied.After George left, Brian returned to his room to pack. He and George headed to the airport after lunch....When Nyla arrived at the office that afternoon, Jenny approached her. "Ms. Kinsey, these are the design drafts from the team. Let me know if any of them match your vision. If not, I'll have them redone."Taking the stack of drafts, Nyla nodded. "Alright, I'll review

Robin Hiett let out a cold laugh. "She doesn't own any shares in Kajer anymore. Why would I go to her?"The idea of Emerald transferring all her shares to her daughter without consulting the shareholders—and appointing her as CEO—seemed absurd to him.What could this clueless girl possibly know? Aside from running the company into the ground, what other skills did she have?Jenny's expression grew serious. "It doesn't matter if you're upset with Ms. Kinsey. She now holds the largest share of the company, making her the rightful successor to Ms. Emerald as Kajer's CEO.""Did Emerald hold a meeting about this? Did any of us shareholders agree?" Robin sneered. "I demand a shareholder meeting and a vote! There's no way I'll let a woman who knows nothing about business run Kajer!"The conversation was in Meristate's native language, but Nyla understood every word.She spoke calmly to Robin. "You can call for a shareholder meeting, but it won't change the fact that I hold the majority

Nyla paused and turned to look at Emerald. "What is it?""I heard Robin went to see you today," Emerald said."Yeah. What about it?" Nyla responded.Emerald pressed her lips together before speaking sternly. "He's Kajer's second-largest shareholder and the head of R&D. Try not to offend him. If he approaches you, avoid conflict."Nyla found this amusing. "You should be telling him that. I didn't even know who he was until today. He's the one who came looking for trouble.""I don't care. Just don't provoke him," Emerald repeated.Seeing Emerald's cold expression, Nyla lowered her gaze and spoke evenly. "That's not happening. I won't go looking for a fight, but I'm not just going to sit there and take it if he comes after me."Emerald frowned. "I didn't put you in that company to make enemies.""Oh, so you put me there to be a punching bag?" Nyla retorted.Emerald fell silent, and an awkward tension settled between them.Finally, Filipe spoke up. "Madam, your next meeting is ab

"Ms. Kinsey, Madam is in a bad mood today. If she says or does anything unpleasant, try to endure it to avoid unnecessary trouble," Filipe reminded her."Got it," Nyla replied.…Dinner that night was tense.Emerald sat at the head of the table, her face so dark it seemed a storm was brewing.Even the usually chatty Delia was unusually quiet, keeping her head down and eating timidly, not daring to crack a single joke.Nyla remained indifferent, acting as if she noticed nothing. She ate at her usual pace, unbothered by the heavy atmosphere.Halfway through her meal, she set down her utensils and announced, "I'm done."Just as she stood to leave, Emerald spoke in a cold voice. "Wait. I need to talk to you later."At this, Nyla sat back down, casually pulling out her phone and starting a zombie-shooting game.Delia glanced at her from the side, her eyes flashing with dissatisfaction at how Nyla seemed unaffected by Emerald's mood.She could understand why Emerald didn't like Ny

Nyla exited the chat app, set her phone aside, and contemplated whether or not to follow through with the engagement.The prospect of moving out of the estate was a huge incentive. However, if Emerald went back on her word, Nyla would have no recourse.While she was lost in thought, a sudden, urgent knock interrupted her.She rose and opened the door to find a flustered maid. "Ms. Kinsey, Madam wants you in the main hall immediately."Seeing the maid's ashen face, Nyla felt a sinking sensation in her gut. She asked quietly, "What happened?"The maid hesitated, as if struggling to find the right words. "I-It's Mr. Nixon... You'll understand when you get there."Without further questioning, Nyla hurried to the hall.Upon entering, she saw Emerald sitting on the sofa, her expression as dark as a thundercloud. Delia sat beside her, crying.Nyla took a seat across from Emerald.Before Nyla could speak, Emerald did. "Brian had an accident. I'm leaving for the south first thing in th

Darcy nodded. "Alright. I'll contact you once I get any updates.""Mm. Darcy, I'm counting on you," Mary replied.After Darcy left, Mary returned to the bedside, sitting down and clasping her hands together in prayer. She gazed at the unconscious, pale-faced Edward, hoping that Darcy would succeed this time.If he failed, Emerald would never let her or her son, Vik, go.…Back in her bedroom, Nyla couldn't shake off a growing sense of unease, though she wasn't sure why.She reached for her phone, about to contact Damon, when she suddenly heard urgent footsteps approaching.Before she could react, the door burst open, and several men in black stormed in.A maid from the estate stood behind them.Nyla tightened her grip on her phone and demanded coldly, "Who are you?!"The maid pointed at her and told the leader of the men in black, "She's Emerald's other daughter."The leader nodded, and in an instant, the men swarmed her, restraining her tightly.In the struggle, Nyla's pho

Nyla pressed her lips together and said nothing."Hey, why aren't you answering me? Say something!" Delia exclaimed."I don't feel like talking," Nyla replied flatly. "If you have the energy to waste, use it to think of a way out of here."Delia pouted. "I don't need to. Mom will definitely come save me, and Darcy wouldn't dare do anything to me."But you? That's another story. You always argue with her, so she might just leave you here."Nyla ignored her childish remark and leaned against the cold wall, eyes closed.The fact that Darcy had locked them up instead of harming them right away meant he likely planned to use them as bargaining chips against Emerald. As long as Emerald hadn't returned yet, they were probably safe.Delia grumbled to herself for a while. Seeing that Nyla had no intention of responding, she eventually fell silent as well.…After hearing about Brian's car accident, Andre immediately sent a message to Nyla, but there was no response.An hour passed.S

Mary pulled a document from her bag and handed it to Emerald. "You can check it carefully—it has Edward's signature."Emerald's expression remained cold as she took the papers. Sure enough, Edward's signature was on the last page.She slammed the document onto the table. "I heard Edward's health has been declining. Does he still have the energy to authorize you to attend the meeting?""Of course. After all, Brian lost a leg and can't inherit the Nixons anymore. But Vik is still perfectly fine. As Edward's son, he has every right to the family legacy," Mary announced.Emerald's face twisted with anger. "Mary, if you say one more word about Brian, I'll tear your mouth apart!"Mary chuckled. "Emerald, I'm just stating facts. Why are you so mad?""Shut up!" Emerald hissed.Tension crackled between them, but the other Nixon members quickly grew impatient.Cortez frowned. "Are we holding this meeting or not? If not, I'm leaving. I didn't come here to watch you two argue."Suppressin

Mary looked at Vik expressionlessly. "Of course. He was ready to make you pay for Brian's leg. Do you still see him as your father?"Vik's expression shifted. After a long pause, he finally spoke. "But... he used to treat us well..."Although Vik had been deeply disappointed when he discovered that Edward was willing to sacrifice his leg for Brian's, he still couldn't bring himself to harm his father.Mary let out a cold laugh. "He did treat us well in the past, but didn't we treat him well, too?"She had been with Edward since she was 20, willingly playing the role of the woman he kept outside his marriage. She had once believed that Edward truly loved her.But today, she had come to a painful realization: no matter what, she and Vik would never compare to Brian and Emerald in Edward's heart.Even after Emerald and Brian drugged him and nearly killed him, Edward had chosen to stand by them. If that were the case, then Mary wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless either.Vik couldn't a

The day Vik was locked up was the longest and most agonizing of his life. He no longer wanted to live in constant fear. If they kept fighting with Emerald, they could end up dead.Mary looked at him. "Vik, do you really think Emerald will let us go? Do you think you can hide the truth about Brian's accident forever?"Vik's face went pale, and his entire body trembled. "Mom... I don't know what to do. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm scared."Mary stepped closer, placing her hands on his shoulders. "Vik, look at me."At her commanding tone, Vik summoned the courage to lift his head."The only thing we can do now is fight Emerald and Brian," she said."If we succeed, you'll never have to worry about Brian finding out about the accident because I won't let him live. If we fail, then the outcome will be the same as if we hadn't fought at all."She paused. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think carefully about whether you want to fight."Vik swallowed hard. After a long

"You!" Edward was so enraged that he fainted on the spot.Mary sat down in a chair, her expression calm as she dialed a number on her phone. "Bring Vik back."Mary had already received word when Vik was taken by Emerald's men. She hadn't acted immediately, planning instead to use the situation to test Edward's feelings toward Emerald.To her surprise, Edward showed no concern for her or Vik.After hanging up, she glanced at Edward, still unconscious on the bed. As she thought about all the years she had spent with him, her gaze grew colder.Soon, the doctor knocked and entered. "Ms. Jewell, did something happen to Mr. Nixon?"Mary looked at the doctor, her voice cold. "From now on, I don't want his health to improve. You know what to do."The doctor's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly nodded. "Understood, Ms. Jewell.""Good. You can go now," she dismissed him.…An hour later, Vik was brought into the hospital room by Mary's men. He took a deep breath and pushed open the

Mary smiled. "Guess."Edward narrowed his eyes and tried to press the nurse's call button, but Mary quickly grabbed his hand to stop him."Edward, don't you think you've been too heartless toward me and Vik?" she asked calmly."Mary, Vik is my son, and so is Brian. If Vik caused Brian to lose a leg, don't you think he should pay for that with his own leg?" Edward shot back."You have two sons. One has already lost a leg. Are you really going to make the other one disabled too? If I were you, I'd make Vik your only heir—train and support him," she countered.Edward scowled. "Call Vik back here first, then we'll talk about the rest."Mary smirked and said slowly, "No need. As long as you're alive, you'll still be able to help me and Vik. How you stay alive, though, doesn't matter."She called out to the door, "Daniel, come in here."Daniel Belcher pushed open the door, looking surprised when he saw Mary holding Edward down on the bed."Ms. Jewell, what's the matter? Why did you

Edward did not believe Mary's explanation. He stared at her blankly, his face expressionless. After managing the Nixons for so many years, his cold gaze carried an undeniable pressure.Mary's anxiety was palpable. She nervously shifted her gaze, unwilling to meet his stare.The silence stretched on until Edward finally broke it, his voice chilling. "If you don't tell me, I'll have someone investigate."Mary panicked. "No! Please, don't!"If anyone discovered that Vik was responsible for Brian's car accident, Vik's life would be ruined. And Edward would never forgive him.But now, Mary had no choice but to tell Edward the truth. If she kept lying, Edward would surely see through it. She was trapped in a no-win situation."Since you don't want me to investigate, then tell me the truth," Edward demanded.Taking a deep breath, Mary hesitated for a long moment before finally giving in. She spoke slowly. "Brian had an accident and lost one of his legs."Edward's eyes widened in shock

Delia stared at Emerald, her eyes wide with disbelief, filled with confusion and helplessness. "I just wanted to move out. When did I say I wanted to sever ties with you?""Moving out is the same as severing ties, isn't it? I told you I wouldn't give you another penny. After you leave, are you really going to stay in contact with me?" Emerald asked.Delia was momentarily choked by Emerald's words. It took her a while to respond. "I just want to become independent, not sever ties with you."Of course, deep down, she also wanted to prove that the man she loved wasn't wrong. She had decided long ago that she would never marry anyone but Andre.Emerald didn't look at her and said nothing further.Delia sat down, continuing to stare at her. "Mom, how did you suddenly collapse and end up in the hospital? Do you have any test results? Let me see them."Emerald's tone remained cold. "Don't worry. I'm not going to die.""Mom, don't say such ominous things!" Delia whined.Emerald pursed

Emerald shook her head, wanting to refuse, but suddenly her vision went black, and she fainted.When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital room. She stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, recalling how she had collapsed in the study earlier.Fully awake now, she sat up slowly and noticed an IV in her arm. She couldn't help but frown.The door to the room opened, and Filipe walked in.When he saw that Emerald had woken up, a look of relief flashed in his eyes. "Madam, you're finally awake! You've been unconscious for an entire day!"Emerald could hardly believe what she was hearing. Her frown intensified, and she asked, "How could I have been unconscious for so long?""The doctor said you've been sleep-deprived for a long time, and with the recent emotional strain, it caused you to cough up blood.“From now on, you need to get at least eight to ten hours of sleep each day, or your health will continue to decline," Filipe explained.Emerald's face darkened

"We'll see how long you can hold out!" Emerald challenged.Delia sneered. "Fine, you said it. Don't go back on your word!""Don't worry, I won't." With that, Emerald turned sharply and walked away.Once in her study, she sank into a chair. Her icy expression slowly turned to one of exhaustion.She had spent years fighting to become the head of the Nixons. But now, one of her children had lost a leg in a plot, and the other was infatuated with a man utterly unworthy of her.For the first time, she felt like a failure.Even though she had finally gained control of the Nixons, what was the point? She was still alone.Lost in thought, Filipe hurriedly knocked and entered. "Madam, Mr. Jayston was secretly taken from the hospital!"Emerald's angry voice echoed. "What were those people at the hospital doing? How could they let him be taken, with so many people watching?"Harrison was her only leverage over Nyla. If he disappeared, she would lose control of Nyla. But, as she considere
