Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1207

Emerald put down the documents in her hand and narrowed her eyes. "Who told you that?"

Nyla stared at her coldly. "Does it really matter who told me? If you're not going to follow through on what we agreed upon, then I won't stay here and be your puppet."

Emerald met Nyla's icy gaze, laughed mockingly, and leaned back in her chair, a trace of ridicule flashing through her eyes. "You think you have a choice?"

From the moment Nyla agreed to come to Meristate, she had lost all say in the matter. Any bargaining power she thought she had was nothing more than an illusion.

As for Nyla, whether she liked it or not, she had to obey. There was no other option.

Nyla studied Emerald for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I understand."
