Chapter 39 Nyla’s Objection

“Grandma?” Eric’s voice filtered through the phone, tinged with confusion from his cluttered office. “Is everything okay?”

“You’ve really done it this time!” Nyla’s voice was shaking with anger. “Get over here now!”

With that, she ended the call.

bly upset.

“Hadley.” Nyla reached out, grasping her hand, tears streaking her face. “Why didn’t you tell me what you’ve

She thrust Hadley’s phone towards her, her voice wobbling. “Cristian has been calling nonstop about the

divorce papers!”

A chill ran through Hadley, her dread was evident.

Eric, puzzled and anxious, arrived swiftly. “Grandma, what’s the emergency?”

He was still piecing together the situation.

Eric’s expression shifted to one of unease as he observed Nyla, who appeared unharmed but visibly upset, and Hadley, who stood silent and tense.

Nyla’s voice cut through the air, sharp and commanding, saying, “Eric, come here now!”

“Understood.”

The urgency in his grandmother’s voice was something Eric couldn’t overlook, prompting him to drop all his plans and rush to her side.

“Grandma…” Eric tried to speak as he approached. But no sooner had he come close than a sharp slap landed across his face, taking him completely by surprise.

It was Nyla who had struck him, her expression stern.

“Grandma?” Eric, bewildered and rubbing his cheek, stared at Nyla. “Why did you hit me?”

“You brat! That’s why!”

Nyla’s stern expression was one Eric hadn’t seen in years, giving him an uneasy feeling. “You think you can just do whatever you want now? Mr. Flynn?”
