All Chapters of Trading My Ex for His Uncle: Chapter 1221 - Chapter 1230

If they couldn't find Nyla by 6:00 p.m., the banquet would have to be canceled, and Emerald would become a laughingstock.At another estate on the west side of the city…Nyla was having lunch in the garden with an elderly man who appeared to be around 70, his graying hair neatly combed."Ms. Kinsey, try this truffle omelet. It's the chef's specialty," the old man said.Nyla smiled and nodded. "Thank you."After breakfast, they took a walk through the garden."Ms. Kinsey, how does my estate compare to your mother's?" the old man asked.Nyla glanced around, then smiled. "Each has its own charm. Both are beautiful.""And which one do you prefer?" he pressed.Nyla thought for a moment before meeting his gaze. "Do you want the truth or a polite answer?""The truth, of course," he replied.She answered honestly, "I prefer Ms. Kinsey's estate because it has my favorite Damask roses.""Just because of that?" he asked, amused."Yes," Nyla said simply.The old man chuckled. "Alrigh

Alexander frowned. "Aunt Emerald, must you force me?"Before going to Saintornia, Emerald had promised to respect Nyla's wishes as much as possible.Yet, once she arrived, she acted entirely on her own terms, leaving no room for negotiation. She even went back on the conditions she had agreed to once Nyla reached Meristate.Sometimes, Alexander couldn't understand.Was Nyla really Emerald's daughter, or was she her enemy? What kind of mother could be so ruthless to her own child?Even if Emerald had only ever seen Nyla as a tool, did she really have to be this cruel?Emerald's expression darkened, her gaze filled with anger and disappointment as she looked at Alexander."Alexander, who's really forcing whom here? Don't forget, the Kinseys' success today is in no small part thanks to me. The position your father and you enjoy now exists because of my efforts. Anyone else can betray me, but you cannot!" she barked.Alexander pressed his lips together, staring at his aunt, who now

"Mm," Nyla hummed in response.Just as she was about to continue asking, the old man suddenly said, "Ms. Kinsey, you've lost."Hearing this, Nyla looked down and realized her pieces were completely surrounded. "I'm not skilled enough. Looks like I need to keep practicing."The old man tossed his pieces back into the container, smiling. "You lost because your mind wasn't calm. Playing chess requires focus and patience. Without them, you'll quickly lose everything. The same goes for the battles between people—one can't rush things."Realizing he was indirectly pointing something out to her, Nyla nodded. "Alright, I understand.""I'll go back to work. Once you're ready, I'll have the driver take you to your destination. From here on out, whether you can get information from your mother depends on you," the old man said."Alright," Nyla replied.The old man left and went straight to his study.He had just sat down when he received an overseas call."How is she?" the caller asked.

The makeup artist and stylist glanced at the dress, their eyes widening in disbelief."This dress… Is it the one designed by Bell Burton?" they exclaimed.The dress had become famous in the fashion world, with countless people eager to see it in person. However, after being purchased by a mysterious buyer three months ago, it had disappeared from the public eye—until now.To their astonishment, it was right in front of them.Nyla nodded. "Yes."At her confirmation, the makeup artist and stylist's eyes lit up.The makeup artist eagerly asked, "Ms. Kinsey, may I take a closer look? I promise I won't touch it—just a quick glance."The stylist quickly added, "I'd like to see it too, Ms. Kinsey. Could I?"Nyla was slightly taken aback. "But didn't you just say we're running out of time?""Just one minute! I swear I'll have your makeup done before the event starts," the makeup artist promised."Me too!" the stylist echoed.Seeing their longing expressions, Nyla finally relented an

Nyla nodded. "Yeah, go ahead and speak louder if you want—draw everyone's attention. Let's see if Ms. Kinsey yells at me or you.""You!" Delia's face turned red with anger. She knew all too well that if she ruined tonight's banquet, Emerald would definitely not let her off easy.Her expression darkened as she realized that and said coldly, "Just wait for it."With that, she turned and walked away.A cold glint flickered in Nyla's eyes while watching her leave.Emerald favored this daughter of hers too much. Otherwise, how could she be so foolish as to think she could threaten Nyla's position?Nyla picked up a drink and sat down, hoping for a moment of peace. However, she had barely settled in before a man approached, striking up a conversation.Not in the mood for his obvious flattery, Nyla responded coldly and quickly sent him on his way.As soon as one man left, another took his place, buzzing around her like a fly.The relentless attention only made her more annoyed.It se
