NovelEnglishChapter 1247
As Filipe reached Nyla's bedroom door, he overheard Emerald reprimanding the maids inside.
"I only told you to lock her in the attic. Who told you to leave her in this miserable state?!" she barked.
None of the maids dared to speak. They kept their heads down, barely even breathing, afraid of drawing
Emerald's attention.
Filipe knocked on the door before stepping inside. "Madam, Ms. Kinsey just arrived in Meristate. She's probably
not used to the climate yet, so her health is still fragile. It's not surprising she caught a cold after being locked in
the attic overnight."
Emerald took a deep breath, suppressing her irritation, then turned to ask Filipe, "Has Andre left?"
"Yes, Madam. | walked him out, but we ran into Ms. Nixon on the way. She said her car had broken down and
asked him for a ride to the mall. They left together," Filipe reported.
Emerald's expression darkened. She might not know much about Andre, but she knew her own daughter all too
well.
Delia had never shown interest in getting close to men. And with all the cars in her garage, was she really
expecting Emerald to believe that every single one of them had broken down?
"Understood. When she gets back, tell her to csee me," Emerald instructed.
With that, she cast a cold glance at the maids still standing there in silence before walking out of Nyla's
bedroom.
As for Nyla-still lying sick in bed-she was of no use to Emerald at the moment, so there was no point in wasting
any more ton her.

tomorrow. If not, none of you will have a job here anymore."
Leaving them with that warning, he hurried after Emerald. "Madam, should we send someone to keep an eye on
Ms. Nixon?"
After all, she seemed far too interested in Andre.
"No need. Just make sure she comes to seewhen she gets back. And from now on, when Andre visits, don't
let Delia have any opportunity to meet with him," Emerald ordered.
"Understood, Madam," Filipe answered.
By the tDelia returned to the estate, evening had fallen.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, she spotted Emerald sitting on the couch,
her expression unreadable and her sharp eyes fixed on her.
Feeling uneasy, Delia quickly averted her gaze. "Mom, shouldn't you be busy with work around this time?"
"| thought you didn't care what | was doing anymore," Emerald replied.
A flicker of guilt crossed Delia's face as she stole a glance at Emerald, trying to gauge her mood. "Of course |
care. | always care about you."
"Do you care about me, or do you care about Andre?" Emerald shot back.
