Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1231

As soon as Darcy finished speaking, dozens of men in black suddenly surrounded Emerald and her people, cutting off any escape.

Emerald's expression darkened, her eyes burning with anger and frustration as she glared at Darcy. "Darcy, do you have to go against me at every turn?"
