Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1236

Now, Harrison was nothing more than a bargaining chip for Emerald to use against Nyla. He couldn't even die if he wanted to.

He lifted the blanket and glared at the restraints tying him to the hospital bed. If he could, he would have cut through the ropes and jumped out the window right then and there.

…

Back at the estate, Nyla had regained her composure.

As soon as she stepped into the main hall, Filipe approached her. "Ms. Kinsey, Madam has asked you to go to the study."

She had been planning to see Emerald anyway, so she nodded. "Alright, I understand."

When she reached the study, she didn't bother knocking. She simply pushed the door open and walked in.

Emerald was on the phone.

Hearing the noise, she looked up at Nyla with clear displeasure, quickly saying a few final words before hanging up. "What do you want? When are you going to fix your bad habit of barging into people's rooms without knocking?"

"You could always lock the door," Nyla said flatly. "That way, I wouldn't be able to walk in."

They spoke at the same time. Their eyes met, both filled with cold hostility.

Emerald let out a sharp laugh. "If you don't fix that habit, you can forget about seeing your father again."

Disgust flickered across Nyla's face. "Do you not find it revolting to use my father to threaten me?"

"You have no right to ask me that. I called you here for something important." With that, Emerald slid a document across the desk toward her. "Sign this."

"Want it or not, you're signing that paper today." Emerald's tone left no room for argument. She wasn't asking for Nyla's opinion—she was simply informing her of the decision.

If Nyla refused, she had plenty of ways to force her.

Slowly, Nyla clenched her fists at her sides and locked eyes with Emerald. "Fine. I'll sign it. But I want to know what you're doing to me. I don't want to go down without knowing anything."

Emerald frowned, her patience thinning. "I wouldn't need to use a small company against you. If I want to do anything to you, I have means for it. Just sign the document and leave my study. I don't want to see you."

Nyla stared at the agreement for a while before speaking. "I have one condition."

"What condition?" Emerald asked.

"From now on, I want to be able to visit my father whenever I want," Nyla stated.
