Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1234

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 my dad, don't expect me to cooperate anymore."

Emerald wrapped an arm around her and whispered in a gentle voice, "Relax. As long as you behave, your father, Damon, and Buddy will all be safe."

Her voice was soft, but it sent chills down Nyla's spine. It was like a venomous snake coiled beside her, hissing threats into her ear, ready to strike at any moment.

"How am I supposed to trust you?" Nyla asked.

"You don't have a choice," Emerald replied.
