Chapter 1231

As soon as Darcy finished speaking, dozens of men in black suddenly surrounded Emerald and her people, cutting off any escape.Emerald's expression darkened, her eyes burning with anger and frustration as she glared at Darcy. "Darcy, do you have to go against me at every turn?"Darcy sneered. "Emerald, you and I have always been on opposite sides. If you want to take Edward, fine—just as long as the people you brought can defeat mine."His tone dripped with contempt, his confidence unmistakable—he had no doubt that Emerald's men were no match for his own.The standoff stretched on until Emerald clenched her teeth and said coldly, "Darcy, you're going to regret this."Darcy smirked. "Instead of wasting time threatening me, you should focus on keeping your position as the head of the Nixons. Once Edward recovers, you won't have a say in the family's affairs anymore."With that, he turned and left with Mary and Edward.As their car merged into traffic, the men in black swiftly disp

Nyla wasn't sure of Andre's connection to Emerald and the others, so she remained cautious."I prefer quiet places," she answered.Andre nodded. "Same here. The banquet is a bit too lively for me. I don't quite fit in."Nyla observed him discreetly. Anyone with an invitation to the estate had to be part of Emerald's social circle, which meant Andre was either incredibly wealthy or influential.Still, she had no intention of getting to know him further. She stood up. "Mr. Quinnett, I have something to do. Excuse me."Andre chuckled. "Alright, Ms. Kinsey. I have a feeling we'll meet again."Nyla didn't take his words seriously and left.When she returned to the main hall, the banquet was still in full swing.The room was packed with high-profile business figures she had only seen in news reports, as well as internationally renowned musicians and actors.Emerald's social standing was exceptional—otherwise, such an elite crowd wouldn't have attended.None of it interested Nyla, n

Filipe Gable, the butler, hesitated before speaking. "Madam, isn't this a little inappropriate?"After all, Nyla was still Emerald's daughter and, technically, one of the masters of the estate. It wasn't proper for a service staff to unlock the door to Nyla's room with a spare key.Emerald hadn't originally intended to take things this far, but Nyla was being uncooperative—so she only had herself to blame."Just do as I say!" Filipe let out a quiet sigh before nodding. "Understood."Filipe left the hall, taking a few staff members with him. He stopped outside Nyla's bedroom and knocked lightly before speaking through the door. "Ms. Kinsey, please come out. If you refuse, I will have no choice but to unlock the door with the spare key. Please don't make things difficult for me."Behind him, one of the maids frowned in confusion. "Why are you treating her with so much respect? It's obvious Madam doesn't care about her at all. Anyone can see that she despises her."Filipe shot the

Had Emerald actually kidnapped Harrison and brought him here?!Emerald's smile deepened. "Don't look so horrified. He's not in great health, so I simply brought him here to recuperate. Don't worry—so long as you behave, he'll be just fine."A buzzing filled Nyla's mind. She hadn't expected Emerald to be so utterly ruthless.She wanted to explode right then and there and rip off Emerald's mask before everyone—but she couldn't.The only reason Emerald hadn't harmed Harrison yet was that Nyla hadn't made a scene. If she exposed everything now, she would lose her value as a pawn, and Harrison would become disposable.At this point, Emerald didn't even see her as her own daughter anymore. Why would she spare an ex-husband she'd divorced years ago?Not only could Nyla not fight back, but she had to suppress her disgust and play along with Emerald's act of motherly love.She clenched and loosened her fists at her sides. After a few seconds, she forced a smile. "If anything happens to m

Nyla had a good impression of Filipe.Filipe quickly waved his hand. "It's just my duty, Ms. Kinsey. You should go now."Nyla said nothing more and turned toward the estate's entrance.Filipe sighed quietly as he watched her disappear into the distance.They were all Emerald's children, yet while Brian and Delia could act spoiled and willful around their mother, Nyla was met with nothing but disdain, forced into things she never wanted.The contrast was striking, and Filipe couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for her.…More than half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of a private nursing home.Because prior arrangements had already been made, someone was waiting the moment Nyla stepped out, ready to lead her to Harrison's ward.When she pushed open the door and saw him lying in bed, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the doorknob.She had wanted to believe Emerald was lying. But seeing Harrison here, weak and confined, she could no longer deceive hersel

Now, Harrison was nothing more than a bargaining chip for Emerald to use against Nyla. He couldn't even die if he wanted to.He lifted the blanket and glared at the restraints tying him to the hospital bed. If he could, he would have cut through the ropes and jumped out the window right then and there.…Back at the estate, Nyla had regained her composure.As soon as she stepped into the main hall, Filipe approached her. "Ms. Kinsey, Madam has asked you to go to the study."She had been planning to see Emerald anyway, so she nodded. "Alright, I understand."When she reached the study, she didn't bother knocking. She simply pushed the door open and walked in.Emerald was on the phone.Hearing the noise, she looked up at Nyla with clear displeasure, quickly saying a few final words before hanging up. "What do you want? When are you going to fix your bad habit of barging into people's rooms without knocking?""You could always lock the door," Nyla said flatly. "That way, I wouldn

Emerald raised an eyebrow and leaned back in her chair, a mocking glint in her eyes as she looked at Nyla. "I thought you'd make some outrageous demand, but this is it?"Her tone dripped with disdain, as if ridiculing Nyla for not seizing the opportunity to ask for more.Nyla remained expressionless. "Yes, that's my only condition.""Fine, I agree. Now, will you sign it?" Emerald asked.Without another word, Nyla picked up the pen and signed her name at the bottom of the document. She clicked the pen shut, placed it atop the papers, turned, and walked out.Emerald narrowed her eyes as she watched Nyla leave.After confirming the signature, she immediately called her assistant to take the document and begin the legal process.…Word quickly spread through Meristate's high society—Emerald had transferred all her shares in Kajer Tech to Nyla.Some saw it as a clear sign that Emerald was grooming Nyla to take over the Nixons. After all, Kajer Tech generated billions in revenue eac

Nyla let out a short laugh. "Wow, I really did come here to serve a sentence, didn't I? A strict wake-up time, a rigid schedule—should I get a sewing machine while I'm at it?"Emerald's eyes hardened. "I'm not joking. You signed that agreement last night. As of today, you are the owner of Kajer Tech. You have one month to learn how to run it.""Sorry, not interested," Nyla said, refusing."If you refuse, you'll never see Harrison again," Emerald threatened.Nyla's expression changed, her jaw tightening. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted you. You have no integrity whatsoever."Emerald sneered. "Did you really think you could just sign a piece of paper and be done with it? You have three minutes to decide. Either follow my orders, or forget about seeing Harrison ever again."Taking a deep breath, Nyla clenched her fists. "Fine. I'll do it."Emerald didn't look surprised. This was the outcome she had expected."You can go eat breakfast now," she said. "Since today is your first day

"I'm starting to wonder if you really intend to hand the Nixons over to Nyla. Is that why you gave her Kajer Technologies?" Brian asked.The moment his words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the study grew tense.Emerald's gaze hardened, anger simmering beneath the surface. "Brian, I've spent years planning everything for you, and this is how you see me?"Brian stood his ground. "Mom, it's not about what I think. It's about what you did. There are plenty of companies on par with Kajer Tech—why did you have to give her that one? Why Kajer?"Emerald took a steadying breath, forcing down her irritation. "I told you—I don't owe you an explanation. And even if I did, with your current understanding, you wouldn't get it.""If you don't explain this to me, I won't do anything for you anymore," Brian shot back.Emerald slammed her palm on the desk. "Say that again?!"Brian clenched his jaw, silent but visibly seething.The room fell into a heavy silence as mother and son stared each o

Brian's expression darkened, his eyes flashing with something almost sinister. "No matter what, I won't let Nyla inherit the Nixons."Emerald better be using Nyla as a mere pawn. If he found out she was seriously considering making Nyla the successor, he wouldn't hesitate to take action—even if it meant turning against his own mother.Delia failed to notice the change in Brian's demeanor and nodded vigorously. "I'm with you. There's no way we can let Nyla take over!"She had never hated anyone as much as she hated Nyla. Just thinking about the way men—especially the one man she had secretly admired for years—had looked at Nyla at last night's banquet made her seethe with jealousy. She wished Nyla would just disappear.Brian smirked. "Good. That's what I wanted to hear. From now on, she's our common enemy, and we need to work together against her."Delia huffed. "Agreed."Brian, seeing no real plan forming in Delia's mind, inwardly sneered—idiot.Outwardly, he simply said, "I hea
