Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1247

As Filipe reached Nyla's bedroom door, he overheard Emerald reprimanding the maids inside.

"I only told you to lock her in the attic. Who told you to leave her in this miserable state?!" she barked.

None of the maids dared to speak. They kept their heads down, barely even breathing, afraid of drawing Emerald's attention.

Filipe knocked on the door before stepping inside. "Madam, Ms. Kinsey just arrived in Meristate. She's probably not used to the climate yet, so her health is still fragile. It's not surprising she caught a cold after being locked in the attic overnight."

Emerald took a deep breath, suppressing her irritation, then turned to ask Filipe, "Has Andre left?"

"Yes, Madam. I walked him out, but we ran into Ms. Nixon on the way. She said her car had broken down and asked him for a ride to the mall. They left together," Filipe reported.

Emerald's expression darkened. She might not know much about Andre, but she knew her own daughter all too well.

Delia had never shown interest in getting close to men. And with all the cars in her garage, was she really expecting Emerald to believe that every single one of them had broken down?

"Understood. When she gets back, tell her to come see me," Emerald instructed.

With that, she cast a cold glance at the maids still standing there in silence before walking out of Nyla's bedroom.

As for Nyla—still lying sick in bed—she was of no use to Emerald at the moment, so there was no point in wasting any more time on her.

Filipe turned to the maids. "Take good care of Ms. Kinsey. She needs to have fully recovered by the morning after tomorrow. If not, none of you will have a job here anymore."

Leaving them with that warning, he hurried after Emerald. "Madam, should we send someone to keep an eye on Ms. Nixon?"

After all, she seemed far too interested in Andre.

"No need. Just make sure she comes to see me when she gets back. And from now on, when Andre visits, don't let Delia have any opportunity to meet with him," Emerald ordered.

"Understood, Madam," Filipe answered.
