Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1215

"Do you think I would tell him that?!" Emerald shot back. "Think about it. What man would want to be with you if he knew you were already married?!"

Nyla remained unfazed by Emerald's harsh words. Instead, she looked up at her with a smirk. "You were married to my dad before, yet you still managed to marry your current husband and have two more kids. Why don't you introduce me to someone else? I'm sure there's always someone willing."

Emerald trembled with anger, pointing at Nyla as though she wanted to lash out, but no rebuttal came to mind.

Unbothered, Nyla poured Emerald a glass of water and said calmly, "Don't get too worked up. You're not young anymore.

"What if you have a stroke? I doubt either of your precious children would be available to take care of you."

"Shut up!" Emerald growled.

Every word out of Nyla's mouth hit a nerve, making Emerald's chest rise and fall with fury.

How did she end up with such an ungrateful daughter?!

Nyla shrugged and continued. "You better keep introducing me to potential suitors. I don't mind a business marriage."

After all, she was certain Emerald wouldn't waste her as a pawn. If she were to arrange a marriage, it would be with someone useful.

Emerald's face darkened. "If you don't want something to happen to Damon and Buddy, you'd better behave. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I might do to them."

A cold glint flashed in Nyla's eyes, but she didn't look the least bit threatened.

"Ms. Kinsey, you should get one thing straight. The only reason I'm even tolerating you and not making things ugly is because of Damon and Buddy.

"If anything happens to them, I promise you'll lose me as a pawn immediately," she said, her voice steady.

Emerald narrowed her eyes. "Are you sure about that?"

"Ever since the last time you went back on your word, I've stopped giving you chances to threaten me. Do whatever you want," Nyla retorted.

Nyla kept her eyes on her food, pretending she hadn't heard a thing.

Delia scowled and raised her voice. "Hey, Nyla! I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?!"

At this, Nyla finally looked up, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, so it was you talking? I thought it was a dog barking. I was just wondering how one got into a heavily guarded estate."

"You!" Delia's face turned red with fury, and she immediately turned to Emerald for support. "Mom! Did you hear her? She called me a dog!"

She had been spoiled her whole life. When had she ever been insulted like this?

Emerald's expression darkened. "Nyla, apologize to your younger sister!"

Nyla smirked. "Oh? So you do acknowledge that she's younger than me? Tell me, have you ever seen a younger sister screaming at her older sister like that? Calling her deaf? What poor manners."
