Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Emerald raised an eyebrow and leaned back in her chair, a mocking glint in her eyes as she looked at Nyla. "I thought you'd make some outrageous demand, but this is it?"

Her tone dripped with disdain, as if ridiculing Nyla for not seizing the opportunity to ask for more.

Nyla remained expressionless. "Yes, that's my only condition."

"Fine, I agree. Now, will you sign it?" Emerald asked.

Without another word, Nyla picked up the pen and signed her name at the bottom of the document. She clicked the pen shut, placed it atop the papers, turned, and walked out.

Emerald narrowed her eyes as she watched Nyla leave.

After confirming the signature, she immediately called her assistant to take the document and begin the legal process.

Word quickly spread through Meristate's high society-Emerald had transferred all her shares in Kajer Tech to Nyla.

Some saw it as a clear sign that Emerald was grooming Nyla to take over the Nixons. After all, Kajer Tech generated billions in revenue each year, making it one of the family's most profitable businesses.

Even Brian and Delia, who had grown up under Emerald's care, had only received moderately successful companies. Emerald had never shown any intention of making them her successors.

However, while some accepted this shift, others remained skeptical, watching closely to see what would happen next.

Then there were those who outright refused to believe it.

To them, it made no sense. Emerald had spent years apart from Nyla-why would

she suddenly hand over control of such a critical company to a daughter she barely knew?

When they imagined themselves in Emerald's position, they simply couldn't fathom doing the same.

The next morning, a maid knocked on Nyla's door.noveldrama

The persistent knocking roused Nyla from her sleep. She checked the time. It was

barely 6:30 a.m., and the sun hadn't even risen yet.

She frowned, debating whether to ignore it. But the knocking continued, steady and relentless, as though the person outside had all the time in the world to wait. swnovel

Her sleep had always been light, and now that she was fully awake, she had no choice but to get up and answer the door.

The maid stood there, expressionless. "Ms. Kinsey, Madam has ordered you to wake up. You must wash up, get dressed, and be in the study before 7:00 a.m."

Nyla furrowed her brow. "Is this her latest way of tormenting me?"

"I'm only relaying Madam's instructions. I have other tasks to attend to." With that, the maid turned and left.

Shutting the door, Nyla gave up on going back to sleep. She freshened up, changed her clothes, and made her way to the study.

When she arrived, she simply pushed the door open and walked in.

Emerald frowned, clearly displeased with her fack of manners. But instead of scolding her, she lett go perhaps realizing it wouldn't

make a difference. fo swnovel

"Ms. Kinsey," Nyla began. "You had someone wake me up at the crack of dawn

and drag me here. I assume this must be something urgent?"

There was a biting sarcasm in her voice, and Emerald's expression

darkened. "Of course it's imponet
