Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1238

Nyla let out a short laugh. "Wow, I really did come here to serve a sentence, didn't I? A strict wake-up time, a rigid schedule—should I get a sewing machine while I'm at it?"

Emerald's eyes hardened. "I'm not joking. You signed that agreement last night. As of today, you are the owner of Kajer Tech. You have one month to learn how to run it."

"Sorry, not interested," Nyla said, refusing.

"If you refuse, you'll never see Harrison again," Emerald threatened.

Nyla's expression changed, her jaw tightening. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted you. You have no integrity whatsoever."

Emerald sneered. "Did you really think you could just sign a piece of paper and be done with it? You have three minutes to decide. Either follow my orders, or forget about seeing Harrison ever again."

Taking a deep breath, Nyla clenched her fists. "Fine. I'll do it."

Emerald didn't look surprised. This was the outcome she had expected.

"You can go eat breakfast now," she said. "Since today is your first day, your lessons will start at 8:00 a.m. But starting tomorrow, they'll begin at 7:00 a.m. If you're late, you won't be allowed to see Harrison for a week. So if you're planning to pull any stunts, I suggest you think about the consequences first."

Nyla turned and left without responding.

After breakfast, it was nearly 7:40 a.m.

A maid led her to a study next to the main hall.

Today's news had been a slap in the face.

Worse, he hadn't even heard it from his mother—his friends had told him. Was he really the last to know?

Emerald set her papers aside and looked at Brian, reading the resentment and frustration in his eyes. "Brian, I've told you before—everything in the Nixons belongs to you in the future. But not yet.

"I don't need to explain my decisions to you. Just know that one day, Kajer Tech will be yours. For now, all you need to do is follow my instructions."

Brian's expression darkened, his voice turning cold. "One day? When? In a year? Two years? Ten?

"Mom, I know you want people to believe you're grooming Nyla to take over the family, but there are other companies you could've given her. Why Kajer Tech?"
