Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1305

Emerald frowned, her voice cold. "Cortez, we have more important matters to discuss."

"In my opinion, this is the most important matter today," Cortez replied evenly. "If Kajer becomes your private company, won't the Nixons lose a significant portion of their annual revenue?"

Emerald's expression remained unchanged. "You don't need to worry. Regardless of who owns Kajer Tech, my share of the dividends will always be reinvested into the Nixons."

Cortez gave a slight smile, though his eyes held no warmth. "Emerald, that's just your word. How can we trust it?

"If Kajer Tech truly has no ties to the Nixons anymore, doesn't that mean you'll have the power to use its revenue as leverage against other family members?

"If someone upsets you, you can cut off their funding. How is anyone supposed to voice a differing opinion under those conditions?"

Emerald's gaze darkened. "Cortez, I can assure you, that will never happen."

"We're not children, Emerald. Promises mean nothing. My stance is clear—we use the Nixons' funds to buy back Kajer Tech's shares. It must belong to the family, not to any one individual," Cortez insisted.

As he finished speaking, murmurs of agreement spread through the room.

"That's right, we need to buy those shares back! No one should own Kajer Tech outright!"

"If we let this slide, the Nixons will fall apart in no time!"

"She's right! We need answers today. We won't just let this go!" the others chimed in.

Cortez's voice cut through the tension like a blade. "Emerald, you already gave away the Nixons' southern land to the Bumards to save Brian. Now you've handed Kajer Tech over to your daughter. Are you trying to turn the Nixons into an empty shell?"

At first, the southern land incident had only made him wary of Emerald. But with Kajer Tech, this was the moment he realized she needed to be removed.

If she stayed in power, the family would become completely unmanageable.

What the Nixons needed was a leader who could elevate them to new heights, not someone who kept diminishing their assets.
