No matter how furious Warren was, Alexander didn't look back. He was certain that Emerald would reach out to him soon and agree to his terms.
At present, she had no one else to rely on. Even the people she could use, she didn't fully trust. Besides, the condition he proposed wasn't that difficult.
After Alexander left, Warren fumed for a while before finally calming down. He then dialed Emerald's number and relayed everything Alexander had said, word for word.
There was a brief silence on the other end before Emerald's cold voice came through. "Ignore him. If he wants to go against me for Nyla's sake, I want to see how long he can keep it up!"
Warren quickly tried to soothe her. "Don't be too upset. Alexander is still young. It's normal for him to act impulsively. Once he thinks things through, he'll come back."
Emerald let out a cold laugh. "He knows exactly what he's doing. If we wait for him to come to his senses, who knows how many years that'll take? I won't let him threaten me. From now on, he's no longer my nephew!"
"Alright, alright. Don't get too worked up. I'll find a chance to talk to him," Warren coaxed.
Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "By the way, how's Brian doing?"
Emerald glanced at the unconscious man on the hospital bed and said in a low voice, "Still not awake. We're heading back in the morning."
"Alright. Stay safe," Warren said.
After hanging up, Emerald stared at Brian, her expression dark.
She hadn't expected that at such a critical time, Alexander wouldn't just refuse to help her but would also take advantage of the situation to demand Nyla's return.
What a good nephew he was!
No matter what, she would never agree to his conditions!

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....
