Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1274

Nyla pressed her lips together and said nothing.

"Hey, why aren't you answering me? Say something!" Delia exclaimed.

"I don't feel like talking," Nyla replied flatly. "If you have the energy to waste, use it to think of a way out of here."

Delia pouted. "I don't need to. Mom will definitely come save me, and Darcy wouldn't dare do anything to me.

"But you? That's another story. You always argue with her, so she might just leave you here."

Nyla ignored her childish remark and leaned against the cold wall, eyes closed.

The fact that Darcy had locked them up instead of harming them right away meant he likely planned to use them as bargaining chips against Emerald. As long as Emerald hadn't returned yet, they were probably safe.

Delia grumbled to herself for a while. Seeing that Nyla had no intention of responding, she eventually fell silent as well.

…

After hearing about Brian's car accident, Andre immediately sent a message to Nyla, but there was no response.

An hour passed.

Still nothing.

A deep sense of unease settled in his chest, so he immediately called Damon. "Damon, I can't reach Nyla. I have a bad feeling something's wrong."

Damon's voice was ice-cold. "I just got word from someone inside the estate. She was taken by a man named Darcy. Do you know him?"

Andre's expression darkened. "Yes. He's from the Nixons. He's always been at odds with Emerald and supports Edward's illegitimate son, Vik. If he took Nyla, she could be in danger."

"Really? With Brian's accident, do you think she still has time to manage anything?" Darcy mocked.

Ross took a deep breath, his voice turning even colder. "So, you refuse to release her?"

"I refuse," Darcy replied curtly.

"Fine. You'll regret this." Ross hung up and turned to his assistant. "Gather our men. We're surrounding Darcy's villa."

Darcy's ambition to make Edward's illegitimate son the head of the Nixons was laughable. Even if Brian couldn't inherit the family, there were plenty of other qualified successors.

Vik? The only one supporting him was Darcy. He had no real chance.

Darcy was nothing more than a fool, blinded by Mary's manipulation. It was pathetic how he was willing to do anything for that woman and her son.
