Chapter 1281 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.

If he wants to go againstfor 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 cback." Emerald let out a cold laugh. "He knows exactly what he's doing. If we wait for him to cto 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! At Darcy's villa...
Mary and Vik sat across from Darcy, looking uneasy.
"Darcy, are you sure this will work?" Mary asked.
If it failed, they would all be doomed.
Darcy nodded. "Yes. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong this time. Once Emerald returns, I'll find a way to take her out of the equation. Once Vik takes control of the Nixons, she will no longer be a threat to two." охой IMS Mary sighed in relief. "Thank you, Darcy. With Edward's health deteriorating, Vik and I wouldn't have survived this long without you." Ever since Emerald found out that Mary had given birth to Edward's child, she had seen them as thorns in her side. She had set them up multiple times, trying to kill them. If not for Darcy's interventions they would've been dead by now.
