Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1267

Realizing that Alexander had no intention of helping him, Brian let out a cold laugh and stopped pleading. "Fine. Remember what you said today. Since you refuse to help us, from now on, we're enemies!"

With that, he stood up and stormed out.

Watching him leave, Alexander shook his head, sighed, and returned to his bedroom.

Whatever had happened between them was no longer his concern, and he had no intention of getting involved further.

…

After storming out of Alexander's villa, Brian headed straight back to the estate.

With Alexander refusing to help, Brian was left with no options for resolving the issue with the land in the south.

Should he really go and beg the Bumards?

The thought crossed his mind, but he dismissed it almost immediately.

Even if the Bumards were willing to return the land, they'd surely demand an exorbitant price.

The mere thought of it made Brian's expression darken.

That night, no one in the estate slept well, except Nyla.

…

The next morning, Brian followed Emerald into the study after breakfast.

"Mom, I plan to go south myself and see if I can find another piece of land comparable to the one we lost," Brian announced.

"Besides, this mess is my fault. I should be the one to make it right. If I don't start handling things myself, when will I ever grow up?"

Seeing his determination, Emerald was silent for a long time before speaking. "If I refuse, will you sneak off anyway?"

Brian nodded. "Yes."

Once he made up his mind, no one—not even his mother—could change it.

"Fine. I'll have George go with you. But you have to promise me one thing—no conflicts with the local forces. If you don't find suitable land in two weeks, you come back immediately," Emerald relented.

"Got it," Brian replied.

Emerald picked up her phone and called George Salter, instructing him to come to the estate immediately.
