Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1277

Darcy's eyes flickered. If he released Nyla while still holding onto Delia, he would retain enough leverage to negotiate with Emerald.

Seeing Darcy waver, Ross pressed on. "I'll give you three minutes to think about it. If you don't release her, Mary and Vik will suffer the consequences."

At Ross' threat, Darcy remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "Fine, I agree."

He turned to his men and ordered coldly, "Go get Nyla."

"Yes, sir!" one of them said.

…

Nyla and Delia were leaning against the wall in the basement, half-asleep, when the door suddenly swung open.

Two men dressed in black strode in and headed straight for Nyla.

Delia, watching with amusement, made no move to speak up for her. She could barely protect herself, let alone someone else.

Besides, as Emerald's most beloved daughter, she was certain Darcy's men wouldn't dare harm her.

Nyla's gaze turned icy. "Where are you taking me?"

The men in black didn't respond. They simply seized her and led her away.

Soon, they exited the basement.

As Nyla was escorted to the villa entrance, she spotted Ross standing not far away. At last, she felt a sense of relief.

The two men in black brought her to Darcy. Once he confirmed it was really her, he gestured for them to hand her over to Ross.

"Ross, I'm giving her to you. Now let Mary and Vik go," Darcy demanded.

Ross nodded. "I will—but only after we leave safely."

Darcy's face darkened. "You're breaking your word!"

"Darcy, who's really going back on their word here? Do you think I don't know you have men waiting to ambush us on the way?" Ross shot back.
