Lahat ng Kabanata ng Your Uncle’s My Husband Now—Back Off, Ex!: Kabanata 1241 - Kabanata 1250

Who would let a disabled man inherit the Nixons?Emerald's expression shifted slightly as she gritted her teeth. "Why not?""Even if you're willing, the other members of the Nixons wouldn't be," Brian retorted.Before his accident, many had already criticized his lack of ability and opposed him inheriting the family business. Now that he'd lost a leg, those people were even less likely to let him take over.No matter how hard he worked from now on, he would never inherit the Nixons.Emerald's face darkened. "It's normal for others to give up on you, but if you give up on yourself, that's it—you'll be beyond saving."With that, she stopped talking and turned to leave.Watching her go, Brian subconsciously clenched the blanket in his hands. He didn't want to give up on himself, but the situation was forcing him to.The more he thought about it, the darker his mood became.…Emerald returned to her study.It wasn't long before Filipe knocked and entered. "Madam, Mr. Salter is h

Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open, and several men in black rushed in.When Delia saw they were Emerald's subordinates, she immediately set her wine glass down, her face contorting in a grimace. "What are you doing here?!"Seeing the group, Andre looked surprised for a moment before raising an eyebrow. He swirled his wine glass without saying a word.The leader stepped forward, bowing slightly before addressing Delia. "Ms. Nixon, Madam sent us to bring you back to the estate."Delia's expression changed, panic and fear filling her eyes. The moment those men entered, she had a sinking feeling, and now it was confirmed.Emerald had forbidden her from associating with Andre, and now that Delia was sneaking around with him, her mother must be furious. She could already imagine the anger awaiting her return to the estate.Grounding her teeth, Delia stubbornly said, "I'm not going back!"The men in black exchanged a glance before one spoke slowly. "Madam said if y

Emerald shook her head, wanting to refuse, but suddenly her vision went black, and she fainted.When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital room. She stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, recalling how she had collapsed in the study earlier.Fully awake now, she sat up slowly and noticed an IV in her arm. She couldn't help but frown.The door to the room opened, and Filipe walked in.When he saw that Emerald had woken up, a look of relief flashed in his eyes. "Madam, you're finally awake! You've been unconscious for an entire day!"Emerald could hardly believe what she was hearing. Her frown intensified, and she asked, "How could I have been unconscious for so long?""The doctor said you've been sleep-deprived for a long time, and with the recent emotional strain, it caused you to cough up blood.“From now on, you need to get at least eight to ten hours of sleep each day, or your health will continue to decline," Filipe explained.Emerald's face darkened

Edward did not believe Mary's explanation. He stared at her blankly, his face expressionless. After managing the Nixons for so many years, his cold gaze carried an undeniable pressure.Mary's anxiety was palpable. She nervously shifted her gaze, unwilling to meet his stare.The silence stretched on until Edward finally broke it, his voice chilling. "If you don't tell me, I'll have someone investigate."Mary panicked. "No! Please, don't!"If anyone discovered that Vik was responsible for Brian's car accident, Vik's life would be ruined. And Edward would never forgive him.But now, Mary had no choice but to tell Edward the truth. If she kept lying, Edward would surely see through it. She was trapped in a no-win situation."Since you don't want me to investigate, then tell me the truth," Edward demanded.Taking a deep breath, Mary hesitated for a long moment before finally giving in. She spoke slowly. "Brian had an accident and lost one of his legs."Edward's eyes widened in shock

"You!" Edward was so enraged that he fainted on the spot.Mary sat down in a chair, her expression calm as she dialed a number on her phone. "Bring Vik back."Mary had already received word when Vik was taken by Emerald's men. She hadn't acted immediately, planning instead to use the situation to test Edward's feelings toward Emerald.To her surprise, Edward showed no concern for her or Vik.After hanging up, she glanced at Edward, still unconscious on the bed. As she thought about all the years she had spent with him, her gaze grew colder.Soon, the doctor knocked and entered. "Ms. Jewell, did something happen to Mr. Nixon?"Mary looked at the doctor, her voice cold. "From now on, I don't want his health to improve. You know what to do."The doctor's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly nodded. "Understood, Ms. Jewell.""Good. You can go now," she dismissed him.…An hour later, Vik was brought into the hospital room by Mary's men. He took a deep breath and pushed open the
