Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off Ex (Nyla and Clark) novel Chapter 1205

Chapter 1205

There was a glint in Andre’s eyes before his smile widened. “Don’t worry, Ms. Kinsey, I’ve always seen Ms. Nizon as a younger sister.”

Satisfied with his answer, Emerald smiled. “Good. You probably have other things to do. I won’t keep you.”

“Sure, Ms. Kinsey. Goodbye,” Andre replied before turning to leave.

As soon as he was gone, Emerald was about to resume her work when Filipe suddenly knocked and entered.

“Madam, Mr. Nixon got into a fight with someone from the Bumards at the bar last night,” he reported.

Emerald jumped to her feet. “What happened?! Where is he now?”

Filipe’s expression was grim. “He was captured by the Bumards. I just received a call from them asking us to go pick him up.”

Emerald’s eyes flashed with fury. Her voice turned cold. “What an idiot!”

The Eumards had been the Nixons‘ biggest rivals in recent years. Instead of avoiding them, Brian had run straight into their people—and fought. He was a fool!

The Bumards hadn’t called just to return Brian. They wanted to slap her in the face.

Now that they had him in their hands, they would certainly take advantage of the situation. Getting Brian back safe and sound wouldn’t be easy.

If he weren’t her son, Emerald would have let him deal with his own mess.

“Prepare the car,” she ordered.

An hour later, Emerald sat across from Ross Bumard, the head of the Bumards, in his study.

“Ross, what do you want in exchange for Brian?” she asked.

Ross, with his graying hair and deeply lined face, had sharp, calculating blue eyes. He smiled. “Emerald, since Brian hit one of our people, don’t you think some compensation is in order? Otherwise, if word gets out, our family’s reputation will suffer.”

Emerald’s tone was ice–cold. “Just tell me your terms.”

“I’ve heard the Nixons recently purchased a plot of land in the south,” Ross said smoothly. 1

Emerald’s expression darkened. “That land isn’t available.”

She had bought the land as the Nixons‘ future base, planning to relocate the family there. It wasn’t even purchased under the Nixons‘ name. She hadn’t expected Ross to know about it.

Ross sighed. “I’ll buy the land from you–10% more than what you paid.”

“Not possible.” Emerald refused without hesitation.

Ross’s smile faded. “Well, if we can’t reach an agreement, don’t blame me if Brian comes back with a missing arm or leg. Young men can be reckless in fights, after all.”

Emerald scowled. “Are you threatening me?”

Ross smiled again, unbothered. “Not a threat–just a choice. I have guests to attend to, so I won’t be seeing you out.”

He stood and left.

Emerald gnashed her teeth, watching his retreating figure. “Wait!”

Half an hour later, Emerald walked out of the Bumard estate, her expression grim.
