Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1216

Emerald stiffened. "That still doesn't give you the right to insult her."

Setting her utensils down, Nyla feigned innocence. "So what you're saying is, she can insult me, but I can't insult her back?"

Emerald could tell she was being led into a trap and held her tongue.

Seeing her silence, Nyla pressed, "Since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes."

"Who said I agreed?!" Emerald snapped, her face grim.

She took a deep breath and added, "I'll let it slide this time. But if it happens again, both of you will be punished."

Delia opened her mouth to protest, but under Emerald's icy stare, she had no choice but to drop her head and angrily stab her food.

Still, her eyes burned with resentment. She wouldn't let Nyla off the hook so easily.

Meanwhile, Nyla stood up with a smile. "I'm full. You guys enjoy your meal. I hope this little incident didn't ruin your appetite!"

With that, she turned and left.

Delia ground her teeth, her face twisted with frustration.

Emerald frowned, clearly displeased, but said nothing and continued her meal.

Across the table, Brian watched Nyla's retreating figure with amusement. It seemed his half-sister wasn't the submissive pushover everyone had expected her to be.

After dinner, Emerald called Delia and Brian into the study.

"I'm planning to throw a banquet for Nyla this Saturday," she said. "It's time to officially introduce her as a member of our family."
