Chapter 1222 Brian's expression was grim as he approached Emerald. "Mom, do you have any suspects for who took Nyla?" "There are a few-Jacob, Darcy, Toby, and Antoine. These four have been the biggest obstacles to my control over the Nixons. Every tI make a decision, they push back on purpose," Emerald replied.
Brian nodded. "Alright, I'll look into them now and update you as soon as I find anything." "Good. We need to find her before the banquet begins," Emerald reminded him.
"I understand," Brian answered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Brian left, Delia grew even more anxious.
A message from her friend popped up on her phone, asking if she had used the methods they had discussed to deal with Nyla.
She frowned at the message, ignored it, and deleted the chat.
An hour later, Alexander entered the estate's living room.
The moment Delia saw him, it felt as if an angel had descended her whole body relaxed in relief.
Alexander, however, barely noticed her reaction. He walked straight to Emerald. "Aunt Emerald, you called me?" that someone is "Do you know tha secretly helping Prospectus Technology? And that Nyla disappeared last night after leaving the estate? I still haven't f her." Emerald's voice was heavy, her expression unreadable.
Alexander remained indifferent. "I didn't know. Now I do." Emerald frowned, her voice sharpening. "I'm telling you so you can helpresolve it. Prospectus Technology must go bankrupt, and Nyla must be found before the banquet!" "Aunt Emerald, I'm afraid I can't help you. I've already decided to stay out of the Nixons' internal affairs," Alexander said.
"What?!" Emerald stared at him in disbelief, fury flashing in her eyes. "What do you mean? Are you still holding a grudge over last time?!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander shook his head. "No, you misunderstand. I just don't agree with yourcan't support sof your actions, and you refuse to listen to my advice. So I've decided to step away completely. Do whatever you want." "So you chere not to help me, but to sever ties?" Emerald demanded.
She had raised Alexander like her own son for years, yet now he was turning his back on her just because she wanted to take down Prospectus Technology? "Aunt Emerald, I'm not severing ties with you. I just don't want to be involved anymore.
"And let's be honest this situation is your own doing. If you had kept your and I word and supported Prospectus Technology instead of trying to destroy him, Nyla wouldn't have run away," Alexander stated. "If I had to guess, whoever took her is positioning themselves to take over the Nixons instead of you.
"Even if you manage to bring her back, she won't be on your side anymore. You should give up on her and find another way," he analyzed.
"Impossible!" Emerald's face was m ice-cold as she glared at him, disappointment written all over her features. "Alexander, I misjudged you. If you refuse to help me, then from this moment forward, we're done!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
