Chapter 1212
“Ms. Nixon,” Filipe called out.
Hearing his voice behind her, Delia turned around. She suppressed her anger and demanded, “Why didn’t you leave any food for
me?”
Filipe, accustomed to Della’s temper, said calmly, “Ms. Nixon, after Madam learned you wouldn’t be having dinner, she had all the leftovers thrown away. If you’re hungry, you can have some biscuits or something to tide you over. Breakfast will be ready in the morning.”
“Tomorrow morning?!” Delia exclaimed.
Seeing the disbelief in her eyes, Filipe nodded. “Yes, tomorrow morning.”
Delia sneered. “Fine, I get it.”
Ever since Nyla’s arrival, Delia hadn’t had a peaceful day. She had to find a way to get Nyla out of the estate–no matter what.
Nyla was chatting with Damon when she suddenly sneezed.
“Are you okay? Caught a cold? You didn’t dress warmly enough today,” he said, concerned.
Nyla gave him a side glance and teased, “Wasn’t it you who couldn’t take your eyes off me when you saw me just now?”
“This dress does look great on you, but you’re wearing too little. You might catch a cold. Dress warmer tomorrow,” Damon urged.

As he watched her walk away, his hands clenched at his sides without him realizing it. He wouldn’t let Nyla stay by Emerald’s side for too long.
It was already past 8:00 p.m. when Nyla returned to the estate.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, Filipe informed her that Emerald wanted to see her in the study.
She frowned but reluctantly made her way to the study.
“Ms. Kinsey, did you need something?” she asked when she arrived.
Emerald remarked, “I heard that today you decided to change the office’s decor and even told the secretaries not to work overtime. You’re really making a name for yourself, aren’t you?”
Detecting the sarcasm in Emerald’s tone, Nyla similed. “Even if I am making a name for myself, I have you to thank for transferring all the shares to my name. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare do this. Besides, isn’t this what you wanted to see?”
Emerald snorted but didn’t refute her. “I warn you, I don’t care about the rest, but if you do anything that harms the company,
