Mary pulled a document from her bag and handed it to Emerald. "You can check it carefully—it has Edward's signature."
Emerald's expression remained cold as she took the papers. Sure enough, Edward's signature was on the last page.
She slammed the document onto the table. "I heard Edward's health has been declining. Does he still have the energy to authorize you to attend the meeting?"
"Of course. After all, Brian lost a leg and can't inherit the Nixons anymore. But Vik is still perfectly fine. As Edward's son, he has every right to the family legacy," Mary announced.
Emerald's face twisted with anger. "Mary, if you say one more word about Brian, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Mary chuckled. "Emerald, I'm just stating facts. Why are you so mad?"
"Shut up!" Emerald hissed.
Tension crackled between them, but the other Nixon members quickly grew impatient.
Cortez frowned. "Are we holding this meeting or not? If not, I'm leaving. I didn't come here to watch you two argue."
Suppressing her fury, Emerald snapped, "Let's start the meeting."
Mary and Vik took their seats.
Vik looked nervous, while Mary sat back leisurely, her gaze taunting Emerald.
The meeting proceeded as planned, discussing recent developments within the Nixons and deciding on future business directions.

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....
