Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1296

"We'll see how long you can hold out!" Emerald challenged.

Delia sneered. "Fine, you said it. Don't go back on your word!"

"Don't worry, I won't." With that, Emerald turned sharply and walked away.

Once in her study, she sank into a chair. Her icy expression slowly turned to one of exhaustion.

She had spent years fighting to become the head of the Nixons. But now, one of her children had lost a leg in a plot, and the other was infatuated with a man utterly unworthy of her.

For the first time, she felt like a failure.

Even though she had finally gained control of the Nixons, what was the point? She was still alone.

Lost in thought, Filipe hurriedly knocked and entered. "Madam, Mr. Jayston was secretly taken from the hospital!"

Emerald's angry voice echoed. "What were those people at the hospital doing? How could they let him be taken, with so many people watching?"

Harrison was her only leverage over Nyla. If he disappeared, she would lose control of Nyla. But, as she considered her situation, she realized that controlling Nyla didn't matter much anymore.

After all, Edward had woken up. Once he returned to take control of the Nixons, he would surely pass it on to Mary's illegitimate child.

Emerald took a deep breath and steadied herself. "Find him. He must be found within three days!"

"Understood, Madam," Filipe replied.
