Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1309

Alexander was silent for a moment before meeting Emerald's gaze. "Fine, I'll help you secure your position as head of the Nixons, but I won't help you eliminate your opponents."

As long as there were threats to her power, she wouldn't have time to target Nyla and Damon. Keeping a balance of power was the best way to keep Nyla safe.

Emerald's expression darkened. "You don't trust me?"

Alexander nodded. "Aunt Emerald, I'd like to, but you need to give me a reason to. Back in Saintornia, you promised Nyla you'd support Prospectus Technology, but the moment she arrived in Meristate, you tried to bankrupt it.

"Now, you're making promises without proof. How can I trust you?"

"Alexander, don't forget-I'm your aunt. We're family!" Emerald hissed.

"To me, Nyla is my cousin, so she's my family too. Think about my offer, Aunt Emerald," Alexander said calmly.

He remained unbothered by the situation. He knew Emerald was already backed into a corner-without his help, she had no chance of holding onto power in the Nixons.
