Chapter 1119
“If you force her, she’ll resist even more. And don’t forget, she has unresolved feelings about the past,” Alexander reminded her.
Emerald’s face darkened. “What does she have to resent? If it weren’t for what happened back then, she wouldn’t even exist. She should be grateful I brought her into this world!”
Alexander frowned. “If you want her to follow you to Meristate, you’ll need to tone it down. She’s not like Brian and Delia, who grew up with you.”
“Fine. I’ll meet her tomorrow and see,” Emerald replied.
After divorcing Harrison and moving abroad, Emerald had initially thought about Nyla often. But over time, as her business grew and she had Brian and Delia, her thoughts of her eldest daughter faded.
Now, she only cared about Nyla because the Nixons needed her as a successor. Otherwise, she might never have thought about her again.
Emerald knew she had wronged Nyla, but she had gone through so much over the years. Besides, she had a son and a daughter who listened. She no longer had any affection or feelings toward Nyla.
To her, Nyla was nothing more than a mistake from her youth.
Staring out at the night sky, Emerald murmured, “I never thought I’d be back here.”
Alexander said nothing.
When they arrived at the hotel, Alexander finally spoke. “Aunt Emerald, I’m warning you–Nyla’s attitude toward you is…
mplicated. Tomorrow’s meeting might not go well. Be prepared.”
nerald waved dismissively. “I know. Just make sure to pick me up tomorrow. I’m busy, so keep it close to the hotel.”
With that, she strode into the hotel without a second glance.
Watching her go, Alexander sighed and drove away.
he next morning, as Nyla dropped Mason off at preschool, Alexander called. “Nyla, do you have time now? I’d like to meet with you first.”
Switching the phone to her left hand, Nyla waved goodbye to Mason with the other. “If it’s not urgent, let’s just meet this
afternoon.”
“Okay, but just so you know, your mom’s personality might be a bit… overbearing. If she says something upsetting, try not to take it to heart,” Alexander cautioned.
Nyla chuckled. He was already cautioning her. “Got it. Don’t worry.”
“Alright, see you at 2:00 p.m.,” Alexander said.
“See you.” After hanging up, Nyla got in her car and headed back to the villa.
At Prospectus Technology’s underground garage…
Damon had just gotten out of his car when several men surrounded him.
“Mr. Sumner, please, give us another chance. We know we were wrong.”
“Yes, Mr. Sumner. We’ve known each other for years. Surely, you wouldn’t let our companies go bankrupt like this?”
“We’ll do anything if you’re willing to forgive us!”

Damon’s expression was cold and unreadable, “When Prospectus Technology was struggling, I came to you for help, and none of you lifted a finger. Now you want me to believe you won’t betray me again?s
The men exchanged glances, sensing a glimmer of hope.
“Mr. Sumner, just tell us what you want. If saving my company means giving you my life, I’ll do it!”
