Semua Bab Trading My Ex for His Uncle: Bab 1271 - Bab 1280

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

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

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

"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. "Da

As Mason's mentor, Alexander couldn't just sit by and watch his family fall apart.After a long pause, Damon finally said, "Alright. I'll give you one more chance."When Nyla came out of the shower, Alexander had already left.Hearing sounds from the kitchen, she walked over and found Damon cooking pasta."Damon," she called softly.He turned to her with a small smile. "All done? Go sit down. The pasta will be ready soon.""Okay," she replied.Five minutes later, Damon brought out a steaming plate of pasta and placed it in front of her. "Eat up. Get some rest after this."The delicious aroma filled the air. Nyla picked up her utensils and glanced at Damon. "Aren't you eating?"He shook his head. "I'm not hungry.""Alright," she answered.As she ate, she finally had the chance to ask about his conversation with Alexander."He said he'd help us return home and make sure we're never dragged into the Nixons' business again," Damon said.Nyla nodded. "Do you think he's telling
