"Do you think I would tell him that?!" Emerald shot back. "Think about it. What man would want to be with you if he knew you were already married?!"
Nyla remained unfazed by Emerald's harsh words. Instead, she looked up at her with a smirk. "You were married to my dad before, yet you still managed to marry your current husband and have two more kids. Why don't you introduce me to someone else? I'm sure there's always someone willing."
Emerald trembled with anger, pointing at Nyla as though she wanted to lash out, but no rebuttal came to mind.
Unbothered, Nyla poured Emerald a glass of water and said calmly, "Don't get too worked up. You're not young anymore.
"What if you have a stroke? I doubt either of your precious children would be available to take care of you."
"Shut up!" Emerald growled.
Every word out of Nyla's mouth hit a nerve, making Emerald's chest rise and fall with fury.
How did she end up with such an ungrateful daughter?!
Nyla shrugged and continued. "You better keep introducing me to potential suitors. I don't mind a business marriage."
After all, she was certain Emerald wouldn't waste her as a pawn. If she were to arrange a marriage, it would be with someone useful.
Emerald's face darkened. "If you don't want something to happen to Damon and Buddy, you'd better behave. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I might do to them."
A cold glint flashed in Nyla's eyes, but she didn't look the least bit threatened.
"Ms. Kinsey, you should get one thing straight. The only reason I'm even tolerating you and not making things ugly is because of Damon and Buddy.
"If anything happens to them, I promise you'll lose me as a pawn immediately," she said, her voice steady.
Emerald narrowed her eyes. "Are you sure about that?"
"Ever since the last time you went back on your word, I've stopped giving you chances to threaten me. Do whatever you want," Nyla retorted.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
