Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1265

It was possible that even the fight between Brian and the Bumard member had been part of their plan.

Emerald's expression darkened, and she ordered Filipe to bring Brian to her.

A few minutes later, Brian timidly walked into the study. "Mom, what did you need?"

Emerald glared at him. "How did you end up in a conflict with the Bumard member that day?"

Brian winced, then cautiously asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about this? Did something happen?"

"Answer me!" Emerald barked.

"I had an argument with you that day, so I went to a bar. I met a woman there, and after having a few drinks with her, I was about to take her to a hotel. But when I got up to leave, that guy from the Bumards showed up..." Brian quickly confessed, terrified by her cold gaze.

"So, you had a fight because of that woman and ended up in a brawl?" Emerald asked.

Brian hummed in confirmation, keeping his head down, too afraid to meet her gaze.

Emerald sneered. "You really are an idiot. You don't even realize you were set up!"

The woman had been working with the Bumards. Once Brian took the bait, the Bumard member had intentionally provoked him, knowing it would make him lose control. Then, the Bumards simply took him away.

Thinking about how hard she had fought for over a year to secure that land, only for it to be sold to the Bumards because of Brian, Emerald was about to explode with rage.

She grabbed a file from the desk and threw it at Brian with all her might. "Get out! I never want to see you again!"

Seeing him like this only made Emerald more irritated. She shouted, "Get out! I don't want to see you!"

After the initial shock, Brian looked up at her. "Mom, I'll go to the Bumards and get that land back!"

He stood up and walked toward the door.

"Stop!" Emerald snapped. "Even if you go to them, they won't give the land back. Stay home and don't do anything. If I find out you cause any more trouble, don't blame me for disowing you!"

Brian lowered his head. "Got it."

After leaving the study, he returned to his room, completely defeated. He had no idea what to do to make up for his mistake. He knew better than anyone how important that land in the south was.
