Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex Novel

Chapter 1157 Emerald's furious voice echoed behind Nyla, but she didn't even flinch. She quickened her pace and disappeared down the corridor. The once-cheerful atmosphere at the dining table instantly turned tense. Brian and Delia glanced at Emerald's dark expression and didn't dare say a word. They respected and feared her in equal measure. Whenever Emerald was displeased, they instinctively tread carefully, never daring to step out of line. Alexander looked at his aunt's stormy face and couldn't help but say, "Aunt Emerald, why are you making such a fuss over something so trivial?

Besides, you were the one who broke the agreement first. You can't blame her for not respecting you." Emerald shot him a cold look. "Shut up!" She had dealt with all kinds of people in her lifetime-she wasn't about to let Nyla get the better of her. Alexander sighed in resignation but didn't press the issue. He knew his aunt well. She never listened to anyone else's advice. However, the way she was handling this would only push Nyla further away. Their already fragile blood ties would eventually snap beyond repair. Brian and Delia finished their meals in silence and got up to leave.

Once only Alexander and Emerald remained in the dining room, he spoke again. "Aunt Emerald, I hope you'll seriously consider what I said earlier. If you go after Prospectus Technology, the only thing you'll achieve is driving Nyla further away. Don't forget-you still need her for many things." Emerald's expression remained stoic. "I've thought it through. I'm not about to raise a competitor for myself. And now that she's here in the estate, there's nothing she can do to change that." Alexander shook his head. "I've said my piece. How you handle it is up to you." With that, he got up and left.

Meanwhile, Brian and Delia had just stepped into the garden when Delia pulled her brother aside. "Brian, do you think Mom really plans to let that woman inherit the Nixons?" Brian's expression darkened slightly, and he lowered his voice. "No way. Just from the way Mom treated her at dimmer it's obvious, she doesn like her. There's no chance she'd hand the Nixons over to her." He was certain of it. Besides, his private tutors had recently started teaching him how to manage both the company and the family's affairs. There was no way they would have dared'do that without Emerald's approval.

Thinking about it, Brian smirked. Undoubtedly, he was the one Emerald had chosen to inherit the Nixons. "But she dares to talk back to Mom, and Mom hasn't done anything about it. Mom has never been this lenient with us," Delia muttered, a hint of jealousy in her voice. In the past, the moment Emerald shot them a cold look, they knew she was displeased and wouldn't dare cross the line. But Nyla? She did whatever she wanted, and Emerald still hadn't punished her. The thought alone made Delia resentful. Brian turned his gaze toward the dark night in the distance, his voice low.

"Delia, all you need to know is that we are Mom's favorites. That's all that matters." "But-" Before Delia could finish, Brian suddenly picked up his pace and walked toward the front gate. Delia frowned in confusion, but when she turned, she saw Alexander leaving the estate. Without hesitation, she followed Brian. Brian quickly stepped in front of Alexander. "Alexander, what did you talk to my mom about today?" Alexander looked at him and raised an eyebrow at his probing gaze. "Brian, we discussed business matters. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand.

Right now, your only priority should be school Don't concern yourself with anything else."
