Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1306

Emerald's expression darkened. "Cortez, that's a serious accusation. I have never tried to hollow out the Nixons. Since taking over, I've worked tirelessly for the family's success. If you choose not to believe me, so be it."

She added, "If you insist on resolving the Kajer Tech issue first, then this meeting is over. We'll discuss it again once I find my daughter."

Without another word, Emerald stood and left.

The moment she was gone, murmurs erupted throughout the room-voices filled with frustration and resentment.

"We can't let Emerald keep leading the family like this! Who knows how much more damage she'll cause?"

Several people turned sharp glares toward Cortez.

"Cortez, you've always backed Emerald. Did you really not know she's turned Kajer into her own company?"

"I bet he turned a blind eye because she gave him something in return!"

"Hold on. If Cortez was really benefiting from Emerald's deals, he wouldn't have called her out just now. I trust him."

Cortez let out a cold laugh, sweeping his gaze over the group. "Believe whatever you want it makes no difference to me. I only look out for my own interests."

Without sparing them another glance, he turned and walked out.
