Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1257

On the way back to the estate, neither Emerald nor Brian spoke. The atmosphere in the car was tense and heavy.

When the car stopped at the estate entrance, Emerald didn't even glance at Brian. She opened the door and stepped out without a word.

Brian quickly followed. It wasn't until they reached the door of her study that she finally turned around, visibly annoyed. "Why are you still following me? Go see the family doctor and get your wounds treated."

Brian looked at her with guilt. "Mom, I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I promise I'll listen to you from now on."

Emerald didn't bother to respond. She simply pushed open the door to her study and shut it behind her.

...

Not long after Emerald and Brian left the Bumard estate, a black Maybach pulled up at the entrance.

As the car came to a stop, a maid immediately stepped forward and opened the back door.

Damon got out, and the maid bowed his head slightly. "Mr. Sumner, Mr. Bumard has been waiting for you."

Following the maid, Damon walked through the grand hall and down a long corridor to the door of Ross' study.
