Nyla exited the chat app, set her phone aside, and contemplated whether or not to follow through with the engagement.

The prospect of moving out of the estate was a huge incentive. However, if Emerald went back on her word, Nyla would have no recourse.

She rose and opened the door to find a flustered maid. "Ms. Kinsey, Madam wants you in the main hall immediately."

Without further questioning, Nyla hurried to the hall.

Upon entering, she saw Emerald sitting on the sofa, her expression as dark as a thundercloud. Delia sat beside her, crying.
