Chapter 1165
Emerald stiffened. “That still doesn’t give you the right to insult her
Setting her utensils down, Nyla feigned innocence. “So what you’re saying is, she can insult me, but ! can’t insult her back?”
Emerald could tell she was being led into a trap and held her tongue.
Seeing her silence, Nyla pressed, “Since you’re not saying anything, I’ll take that as a yes.”
“Who said I agreed?!” Emerald snapped, her face grim.
She took a deep breath and added, “I’ll let it slide this time. But if it happens again, both of you will be punished.”
Delia opened her mouth to protest, but under Emerald’s icy stare, she had no choice but to drop her head and angrily stab her food.
Still, her eyes burned with resentment. She wouldn’t let Nyla off the hook so easily.
Meanwhile, Nyla stood up with a smile. “I’m full. You guys enjoy your meal. I hope this little incident didn’t ruin your appetite!”
With that, she turned and left.
Delia ground her teeth, her face twisted with frustration.
Emerald frowned, clearly displeased, but said nothing and continued her meal.
Across the table, Brian watched Nyla’s retreating figure with amusement. It seemed his half–sister wasn’t the submissive pushover everyone had expected her to be.
After dinner, Emerald called Delia and Brian into the study.
“I’m planning to throw a banquet for Nyla this Saturday,” she said. “It’s time to officially introduce her as a member of our family.”
Delia’s face twisted with outrage. “Mom, I hate her! I don’t want a sister! Can’t you just send her back to where she came from? She doesn’t respect you at all, and she treats us terribly!”
Emerald ignored her and turned to Brian. “What about you? What do you think?”
Brian’s expression remained neutral. “Mom, whatever you decide, I’ll support you. Besides, since she’s already living here, it makes sense to introduce her to everyone.”
Emerald nodded in approval. “Good. Many important people will be attending, so make sure you behave properly. We can’t afford to embarrass the family.”
Brian nodded. “I understand, Mom.”

Delia scoffed. “Why should I? I hate her! Even if you and Mom throw a banquet for her, I will never acknowledge her as my sister”
