Chapter 1270

Author: Hello Spring
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

    After Ross' secretary left, he turned to Damon. "Damon, don't worry. I won't let Ms. Kinsey come to any harm."Damon nodded. "Thank you, Ross.""If it weren't for you back then, I'd already be dead. I should be the one thanking you. Right now, the most important thing is getting Ms. Kinsey out safely," Ross replied.Damon hummed in agreement.…By the time Emerald arrived outside the operating room of a private hospital in the south, Brian's surgery had just ended.Seeing him lying on the hospital bed, his face as pale as paper, Emerald felt her heart ache.She turned to the doctor beside her. "How is he?""The surgery was successful. He should wake up in a few hours," the doctor answered.Hearing this, Emerald finally let out a sigh of relief.Just as she was about to speak, her phone started ringing from inside her bag.Seeing it was Filipe calling, she frowned and declined the call."Thank you," Emerald told the doctor."No need to thank me. It's my job," the doctor rep

    Darcy hung up.Emerald's face darkened with fury. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she turned and walked toward Brian's hospital room.George was standing guard outside, looking almost as bad as Brian himself.As Emerald approached, she took in the sight of his injuries—his face and body covered in wounds. Though bandaged, blood still seeped through the gauze, making for a horrifying scene."George, what happened? Why did the accident occur?" she asked.George's face was pale, his voice grim. "Ms. Kinsey, I don't think Mr. Nixon's accident was just an accident. I believe someone orchestrated it."Emerald's expression turned ice-cold. "Do you have any proof?"George shook his head. "No, just a gut feeling. The driver who hit us seemed to know Mr. Nixon was in the back seat. He deliberately rammed into the rear of the car. That's why the driver and I only suffered minor injuries, while Mr. Nixon's condition was severe enough to require amputation."Emerald tightened her gr

    Darcy's eyes flickered. If he released Nyla while still holding onto Delia, he would retain enough leverage to negotiate with Emerald.Seeing Darcy waver, Ross pressed on. "I'll give you three minutes to think about it. If you don't release her, Mary and Vik will suffer the consequences."At Ross' threat, Darcy remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "Fine, I agree."He turned to his men and ordered coldly, "Go get Nyla.""Yes, sir!" one of them said.…Nyla and Delia were leaning against the wall in the basement, half-asleep, when the door suddenly swung open.Two men dressed in black strode in and headed straight for Nyla.Delia, watching with amusement, made no move to speak up for her. She could barely protect herself, let alone someone else.Besides, as Emerald's most beloved daughter, she was certain Darcy's men wouldn't dare harm her.Nyla's gaze turned icy. "Where are you taking me?"The men in black didn't respond. They simply seized her and led her away

    "You did a lot too. You negotiated directly with Darcy and risked offending him just to save me." Nyla's gaze into Ross' eyes was full of gratitude.Ross smiled. "It was my honor to help you and Damon."After a brief hesitation, Nyla couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer. "How do you know Damon?"Before coming to Meristate, she had no idea that Damon was acquainted with someone as powerful as Ross.The night Emerald had thrown her out of the estate, she hadn't walked far when a car suddenly pulled up in front of her. Two men in black had gotten out, taken her without explanation, and brought her to Ross' estate.At first, she had assumed she was being kidnapped. It wasn't until Ross mentioned that he knew Damon—and even called him right in front of her—that she realized he had no ill intentions.Later, Ross had been a great help to both her and Damon.Nyla couldn't help but wonder what kind of relationship the two men had for Ross to go so far for them.Ross chuckled.

    After the maid left, Warren dialed Emerald's number. "I heard Edward woke up. Is that true?"Emerald, on her way back to the estate, furrowed her brow. "Yes.""So, what's your plan now? Once Edward recovers, he'll want you to return control of the Nixons to him," Warren asked.A flash of frustration crossed Emerald's face. "We'll see. I have things to take care of, so I'll talk to you later."She hung up and set her phone down, still unsettled.The land issue remained unresolved, and now Edward had woken up. The people who were already unhappy with her because of the land might side with Edward. She needed to come up with a solution, or things could spiral out of control quickly.She had finally secured her position. Even if Edward recovered, she wasn't going to give it up without a fight.As she thought it over, George's call came through. "Ms. Kinsey, we've captured Darcy. Should we bring him to the estate now?"A cold glint crossed Emerald's eyes. "Yes."…Upon returning t

    "I'll handle things with Nyla's father. Now that my aunt is looking for you and Nyla, you two should stay in and avoid being seen by anyone for now," Alexander said.Damon nodded. "Got it."Just as Alexander was about to speak, his phone rang.His face instantly darkened after he answered the call. He stood up and said, "I have to go. If you need anything, just call me."With that, he quickly left.Once he stepped out of Damon's villa, he got into the car and told the driver, "Take me to the Kinseys."…An hour later, Alexander's car arrived at the Kinsey residence. He got out and rang the doorbell.When the maid saw him, she hesitated. After all, Warren had given strict orders to cut ties with Alexander. If he showed up again, they were instructed not to open the door.Noticing the maid's hesitation, Alexander furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "Open the door."After a brief pause, the maid nervously looked at him and replied, "Mr. Alexander, it's not that I don't wa

    If there were nothing special, Vik wouldn't possibly go to Chyland."We're not sure yet, but he's the only one going for now," George replied.Emerald furrowed her brow, sensing that something was off. She said coldly, "Stop him. Don't let him leave the country.""Understood," George answered."Have you found any leads on Nyla? Any clues?" Emerald asked."No, not yet," George replied.Emerald instructed, "Keep looking."After hanging up, Emerald placed her phone on the desk, her face clouded with anger.Where were Nyla and Damon hiding? Even George couldn't track them down. It seemed she would have to speak with Ross.…The next morning, Emerald went straight to Ross' residence.When Ross saw her, he smiled, appearing in a good mood. "Emerald, what brings you here today?"Emerald got straight to the point. "Ross, where have you hidden my daughter?"Ross raised an eyebrow in surprise. "If I'm not mistaken, didn't your people rescue Ms. Nixon from Darcy already?"Emerald sn

    After Vik left, Edward looked at Mary. "Mary, is something bothering you? You look so pale."Mary forced a smile. "It's nothing. I was just thinking about when you'll fully recover.""Didn't the doctor say I could be discharged in half a month? Don't worry, I'll get better, and I won't let Emerald bully you anymore," Edward promised.His expression turned cold as he recalled the things he had overheard Emerald say while he had been unconscious.He would never allow her to continue running the Nixons. Neither Brian nor Delia would inherit the Nixons, either.Moreover, his worsening condition before had been due to Emerald poisoning him. He wouldn't let her get away with it."Alright…" Mary answered.…Emerald quickly received the news that Edward had woken up.When Filipe reported the news, he saw Emerald's dark expression and couldn't help but lower his gaze. "Madam, do you want to go to the hospital?"Although Edward and Emerald's marriage had long been a mere formality, the

    Before Mary could respond, the door to the hospital room opened suddenly, and Vik hurried in.His face lit up with joy when he saw that Edward was awake, and he rushed to the bedside. "Dad, you're finally awake!"Edward patted his shoulder. "Yes, both of you have been through a lot."Vik shook his head. "It's not hard. For us, the best thing is that you woke up."Edward had only just regained consciousness and was still far from fully recovered. After a brief conversation with them, he grew tired.Seeing his exhaustion, Mary urged him to rest and went to the kitchen to prepare food for him.Not long after, Vik followed her into the kitchen. "Mom, I need to talk to you about something."Mary, washing vegetables, glanced over. "What is it?""I might have to leave for a while," Vik said quietly.Mary froze for a moment, then turned to him, her confusion clear. "Why? Your father just woke up, and now that no one will bother us. Why would you leave at this moment?"Seeing the conf

    Emerald knew all too well that prosthetic limbs could never truly replace a person's own leg, but all she could do was suppress her own pain and sadness and comfort Brian.When his sobs gradually faded away, she left, her eyes red.…Back in her study, Emerald immediately called George, her voice cold as she said, "Make sure you find out who planned Brian's accident as soon as possible."George's voice was serious. "Understood, Ms. Kinsey. I'll do everything I can to track down the culprit. Also, there's something else I need to report.""What is it?" Emerald asked."After Damon took Nyla from Mr. Bumard's manor, they haven't been seen for the past few days. Finding them may be more difficult than expected," George reported."Keep looking. I don't believe they've disappeared into thin air," Emerald ordered."Got it, Ms. Kinsey," George replied.Emerald hung up, her irritation simmering beneath the surface. She picked up a few documents and continued working.…Edward slowly

    The porcelain shattered against the floor, tea splattering everywhere.Emerald's gaze remained fixed on the broken shards, her eyes burning with rage.Filipe, who had been walking down the hallway, entered the room.Upon seeing the mess on the floor, he didn't seem the least bit surprised. Instead, he turned to Emerald and said, "Madam, Mr. Nixon has woken up."At those words, the anger on Emerald's face was replaced by a flicker of relief. She immediately stood and hurried toward Brian's room.Before following, Filipe glanced at the nearby maids, who were trembling in fear, and instructed, "Clean this up.""Yes, sir!" the maids answered in unison.Only after Emerald and Filipe had left did the maids finally breathe a sigh of relief, quickly grabbing cleaning supplies.…A short while later, Emerald arrived at Brian's bedroom.He was already sitting up in bed, eating some soup. His face was pale, drawn with exhaustion and a deep sense of despair.From the moment he had woken

    Mary's face turned pale in an instant. "What did you do to Darcy?!"She leered at Emerald, her eyes burning with rage.Emerald smiled. "Nothing much. Just putting him back where he belongs."Then, with a teasing lilt, she added, "But the way you're so concerned about him makes it easy to suspect there's something more between you two."Mary's expression grew even uglier."Emerald, what nonsense are you talking about?! Darcy and I are completely innocent!" she snapped.Emerald raised an eyebrow. "No need to get so worked up. I was just making an observation. But now that Darcy is out of the picture, you should face reality—there's no one left in the Nixons to support you."You can forget about your little dream of Vik taking over. The only thing you should focus on now is taking care of Edward. Once he's gone, I'll give you and Vik some money so you can leave. But if you try anything foolish again, don't blame me for what happens next."Mary ground her teeth. "Don't get too comf

    For years, Tony had watched Darcy lose himself over Mary, taking increasingly reckless risks for her. He had always known that one day, Darcy would destroy himself because of her.Darcy's expression twisted with rage. "Tony, I will never forgive you!"Tony ignored him and turned to Emerald. "Madam, we've secured Ms. Nixon. As for Mary and Vik, they're still in the hospital under Edward's men's watch. We weren't able to bring them in."Emerald nodded. "You've done well. From now on, you will take over all of Darcy's operations.""Understood, Madam," Tony replied.Darcy's face contorted in fury. "Emerald, you have no right to do this! If Edward finds out, he won't let you get away with it!"Emerald's smirk was cold. "Edward is lying in a hospital bed, barely able to move. Do you really think he has time to deal with you?"As of this moment, you are no longer part of the Nixons. Everything you had—your wealth, your status—I will take it all back.
