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?"

Darcy sneered. "Emerald, you and I have always been on opposite sides. If you want to take Edward, fine-just as long as the people you brought can defeat mine."

His tone dripped with contempt, his confidence unmistakable—he had no doubt that Emerald's men were no match for his own.

The standoff stretched on until Emerald clenched her teeth and said coldly, "Darcy, you're going to regret this."

Darcy smirked. "Instead of wasting time threatening me, you should focus on keeping your position as the head of the Nixons. Once Edward recovers, you won't have a say in the family's affairs anymore."
