Chapter 1239
If there were nothing special, Vik wouldn’t possibly go to Chyland.
“We’re not sure yet, but he’s the only one going for now,” George replied.
Emerald furrowed her brow, sensing that something was off. She said coldly, “Stop him. Don’t let him leave the country.”
“Understood,” George answered.
“Have you found any leads on Nyla? Any clues?” Emerald asked.
“No, not yet,” George replied.
Emerald instructed, “Keep looking.”
After hanging up, Emerald placed her phone on the desk, her face clouded with anger.
Where were Nyla and Damon hiding? Even George couldn’t track them down. It seemed she would have
to speak with Ross.
The next morning, Emerald went straight to Ross‘ residence.
When Ross saw her, he smiled, appearing in a good mood. “Emerald, what brings you here today?”
Emerald got straight to the point. “Ross, where have you hidden my daughter?”
Ross raised an eyebrow in surprise. “If I’m not mistaken, didn’t your people rescue Ms. Nixon from Darcy already?”
Emerald sneered. “You know exactly who I’m talking about!”
Ross thought for a moment, then smiled. “You mean Ms. Kinsey? But she doesn’t acknowledge you as her mother, does she?”

“Sorry, I have no information to give you,” Ross replied.
Emerald’s smile turned cold. “So, you plan on going against me?”

“We were never friends,” Ross countered. 1
“Fine, Ross. You schemed with Brian, using him to force me to give up land in the south to the Burnards, which eventually led to Brian losing his leg in a car accident. And now, you refuse to tell me where Nyla
“I’ll make you pay for both of these things! From today on, the Nixons will no longer cooperate with the Bumards!” Emerald declared.
Her voice was full of anger, her eyes cold as she glared at Ross.
If it were before, Ross might have feared her words.
Now that Edward was awake, and it was uncertain how long Emerald could hold control over the Nixons, he saw no reason to continue flattering her.
“Emerald, what happened before was mutual. It’s not accurate to say I schemed against you. As for Brian’s accident, it was a tragic incident, something nobody wanted. It’s just fate, not something I can be blamed for,” Ross clarified.
