Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1173

Emerald looked at Nyla and asked, "What are your conditions?"

"First, Buddy stays in Saintornia. He can't come to Meristate with me. Second, I need you to provide resources to Damon's company to help him take it international. Third, I want full control over my marriage decisions," Nyla stated firmly.

Emerald narrowed her eyes and pondered briefly before letting out a soft laugh. "Once you join the Nixons, you and Damon will belong to two entirely different worlds.

"As for Buddy—if you leave him here, his life trajectory will end up just like yours. Are you sure you want to leave him behind?"

Nyla's second condition wasn't difficult for Emerald to guess. She could see where this was heading, though Nyla clearly underestimated the Nixons. Even with abundant resources, Damon could never compete with them.

As for Nyla's third condition? Once she was in Meristate, who she wanted to marry would hardly be her decision to make.

"I'm sure," Nyla said resolutely. "You want me to go to Meristate because you need a pawn. I refuse to let my son become one too."

"Naive," Emerald spat.

Whether it was Mason or Damon, Emerald knew either man could be used to control Nyla if necessary.

From the moment Emerald decided to bring her to Meristate, Nyla's autonomy ceased to exist. The only variable would be whether she complied willingly or resisted until it proved futile.
