Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1299

Edward did not believe Mary's explanation. He stared at her blankly, his face expressionless. After managing the Nixons for so many years, his cold gaze carried an undeniable pressure.

Mary's anxiety was palpable. She nervously shifted her gaze, unwilling to meet his stare.

The silence stretched on until Edward finally broke it, his voice chilling. "If you don't tell me, I'll have someone investigate."

Mary panicked. "No! Please, don't!"

If anyone discovered that Vik was responsible for Brian's car accident, Vik's life would be ruined. And Edward would never forgive him.

But now, Mary had no choice but to tell Edward the truth. If she kept lying, Edward would surely see through it. She was trapped in a no-win situation.

"Since you don't want me to investigate, then tell me the truth," Edward demanded.

Taking a deep breath, Mary hesitated for a long moment before finally giving in. She spoke slowly. "Brian had an accident and lost one of his legs."

Edward's eyes widened in shock, but quickly, reality settled in. His voice was cold as he asked, "Is this related to Vik?"

"Edward, Vik only intended to teach Brian a lesson, but it turned into an accident. He's really scared and guilty about it, so he's been hiding," Mary explained.

The room fell into a suffocating silence as Edward looked at her, his anger rising like a tidal wave.

"An accident? Mary, do you really think a car crash was just an accident? Don't forget, Brian is also my son! Where's Vik? Get him back here right now!" he demanded.

Mary let out a cold laugh and stood up, looking down at him. "Edward, don't forget, it was Emerald and Brian who poisoned you. It's because of that poison that you became so weak.

"And when you were unconscious, it was me taking care of you. I thought that once you woke up, Vik and I wouldn't have to live in fear anymore. But I guess I was wrong.

"Since you've become so heartless, I can't hold back anymore."

Her voice was thick with bitterness

Edward sensed something was off. "What are you planning to do?!"
