Chapter 1204 The maid nodded. "Yes, Madam. And this young lady is..." "Nyla Kinsey. My... eldest daughter," Emerald replied.
"I understand. Ms. Kinsey, please cwith me," the maid said.
Without another word, Nyla turned and followed the maid out of the study, leaving only Emerald and Alexander behind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexander approached the desk and said, "Aunt Emerald, you shouldn't be too harsh on Nyla. She didn't grow up by your side, so naturally, she'll think differently from you.
"If you want her to listen, you'll need to ease into it. Once the distance between you two shrinks, she'll naturally caround." Emerald huffed. "Am I not being nice enough? Did you hear what she called me? 'Ms. Kinsey'? I could die of anger right now!" The cold, detached way Nyla had acted toward her stirred another wave of frustration in Emerald's chest. True, she had divorced Harrison when Nyla was young, but during the tthey had spent together, Emerald had done everything she could to care for her.
And this was how Nyla repaid her? Like sungrateful child? Alexander continued. "It's been years since you last saw each other, and she only recently found out that you built a life here-married and raised two kids.
"It's understandable she'd have complicated feelings. If you really want a relationship with her, you can't treat her the way you treat your subordinates. You need to show her the spatience you show Delia and Brian." Emerald glared at him. "Do you think that's possible? Every tI see her emotionless face, it pissesoff." "If she feels like you're always dissatisfied with her, she'll only pull further away," Alexander pointed out.
"I don't care about that. As long as she does what I say, that's all that matters," Emerald said firmly. Alexander sighed and shrugged.
"Alright, Aunt Emerald. Do whatever you think is best. Just don't be surprised if the outcis the complete opposite of what you expect." With that, he turned and left the room.
Emerald tossed the files on her desk aside, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it. No matter how much she smoked, she couldn't shake the irritation gnawing at her.
Before she returned to the country, her sole intention was to bring Nyla to Meristate, use her as a shield against the political infighting within the Nixons, and protect Bria and Delia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, the moment she saw Nyla in person, she realized how much Nyla resembled her younger self.
Although she hadn't changed her initial plan, the cold indifference in Nyla's eyes still left her feeling inexplicably irritated.
With a sigh, she stubbed out the cigarette and left the study.
The maid led Nyla to a room in the farthest corner of the third floor. "Ms. Kinsey, this will be your room from now on."
Nyla pushed open the door. The decor was simple, the colors to her liking. She nodded. "Alright. By the way, how far is this from Ms. Kinsey's room?" The maid hesitated momentarily, realizing "Ms. Kinsey" referred to Emerald, before answering, "It's about a ten-minute walk from here to her bedroom."
From the start, she had no intention of placing Nyla near Emerald Delia, or Brian The last thing she wanted was for Nyla to find an opportunity to win Emerald's favor.
After all, the next successor of the Nixons had yet to be decided For Nyla to suddenly be brought into the picture, it was possible she was here to compete for power. The maid had watched Brian and Delia grow up, and she naturally didn't want an outsider to take what rightfully belonged to them.
