At another estate on the west side of the city...
Nyla was having lunch in the garden with an elderly man who appeared to be around 70, his graying hair neatly combed.
"Ms. Kinsey, try this truffle omelet. It's the chef's specialty," the old man said.
Nyla smiled and nodded. "Thank you." After breakfast, they took a walk through the garden.
"Ms. Kinsey, how does my estate compare to your mother's?" the old man asked.
Nyla glanced around, then smiled. "Each has its own charm. Both are beautiful." "And which one do you prefer?" he pressed.

She answered honestly, "I prefer Ms. Kinsey's estate because it has my favorite Damask roses." "Just because of that?" he asked, amused.
"Yes," Nyla said simply.
The old man chuckled. "Alright. When I take over the Nixons, I'll give you that estate as a token of gratitude for helping me." Nyla smiled. "You're not lying to me, are you?" "Of course not. I always keep my word," he assured her.
"Well then, I wish you success in advance," she said.
"As long as you help me, I will definitely take the Nixons," he declared confidently.
After a short stroll, the old man retired to rest while Nyla, under his secretary's arrangements, began preparing for what was to come.
Emerald paced anxiously in the living room, her expression icy.
Brian and Delia sat on the sofa, not daring to make a sound.
Delia had secretly messaged Alexander, hoping he would cover.
Whenever Emerald was frustrated over something she couldn't resolve, Delia would turn to Alexander-he always had a solution.
This time, though, Alexander didn't reply.
Delia gripped her phone, waiting anxiously.
Suddenly, the butler hurried in and whispered a few words to Emerald. Her expression instantly darkened. "What did you just say? That's impossible!" Prospectus Technology was on the verge of bankruptcy liquidation. How could someone suddenly step in to help? And why couldn't they trace who this person was? "Madam, the people in Saintornia relayed this information. They're asking what you'd like to do next," the butler reported.
Emerald took a deep breath, her mind racing.

Nyla had mysteriously disappeared after leaving the estate last night, and none of herpeople had been able to track her down. She suspected that the person backing Prospectus Technology was the sone who had taken Nyla.
Several names flashed through her mind, but she couldn't be certain.
She exhaled slowly, her voice sharp. "Continue pressing Prospectus m Technology but focus on finding out who's behind them." "Understood, Madam. I'll notify them immediately," the butler said.
"Wait. Any news on Nyla?" Emerald asked.
The butler hesitated. "Still nothing..." "Got it. Call Alexander over," she instructed.
Once the butler left, the atmosphere in the living room grew even heavier.
Delia remained silent, too afraid to move. She frantically texted om Alexander of Enferald weren't in the room, she would have already sent a voice message or called him directly.
