Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1230

Darcy had been with Edward for many years and had always supported him. Secretly, he had grown close to Edward's illegitimate son, hoping to help him become the next head of the Nixons. This had made him and Emerald like water and fire.

If the person behind Nyla was Darcy, he certainly had the ability to cover her tracks.

However, there was always a flaw in every plan.

The dress was the biggest mistake.

Darcy noticed Emerald's gaze and turned toward her.

When he saw the coldness in her eyes, he smiled and walked over. "Emerald, why are you staring at me like that? Do you have something against me?"

Emerald sneered. "Darcy, don't you have anything against me?"

Darcy chuckled. "It's your daughter's banquet today. I'm a guest here. Let's put aside our past grudges and enjoy a wonderful evening together."

Emerald was about to reply when Darcy's phone suddenly rang.

His expression changed when he saw the number on the screen. He glanced at Emerald, then stepped aside to answer, deliberately lowering his voice.

After the call ended, he turned and left in a hurry without so much as a glance back at her.

Emerald narrowed her eyes and immediately instructed a servant to have someone follow him.

Less than half an hour later, the person she sent returned with news—after leaving the estate, Darcy had gone straight to the hospital.

She connected this with the grim look on Darcy's face when he left, and her heart sank. She suspected that Edward's condition had worsened.

Without even changing her clothes, she instructed the butler to tend to the guests and rushed to the hospital with a group of people.

At her words, Darcy and Mary's faces darkened.

Mary was the first to speak. "No! I'll never let Edward go with you, you vicious woman!"

When Edward first fell ill, Emerald took him in for a while, but his condition worsened under her care. If Darcy hadn't discovered this and forcibly removed him, Edward might already be dead.

Because of this, Edward had decided to leave the Nixon inheritance to Mary's son rather than Brian or Delia.

"You have no say in this," Emerald said, not even sparing Mary a glance.

Fixing her cold gaze on Darcy, she declared, "I'm taking Edward with me today."

Darcy narrowed his eyes and said in a warning tone, "Emerald, you're not the only one who brought people."
