NovelUSAChapter 1232 Nyla wasn't sure of Andre's connection to Emerald and the others, so she remained cautious.
"I prefer quiet places," she answered.
Andre nodded. "Shere. The banquet is a bit too lively for me. I don't quite fit in." Nyla observed him discreetly. Anyone with an invitation to the estate had to be part of Emerald's social circle, which meant Andre was either incredibly wealthy or influential.
Still, she had no intention of getting to know him further. She stood up. "Mr. Quinnett, I have something to do. Excuse me." Andre chuckled. "Alright, Ms. Kinsey. I have a feeling we'll meet again." Nyla didn't take his words seriously and left.
When she returned to the main hall, the banquet was still in full swing.

Emerald's social standing was exceptional-otherwise, such an elite crowd wouldn't have attended.
None of it interested Nyla, nor did she have any desire to mingle. She headed straight to her bedroom instead.
Emerald had just arrived back at the estate when she received a call from Brian.
"Mom, I've confirmed it. The day Nyla disappeared, she was with Darcy," Brian reported.
At the mention of Darcy's name, Emerald's barely suppressed rage flared up. Her expression turned ice-cold.
"Got it. I want you to investigate Darcy further. I remember he recently invested in a new project-I want it to fail." Brian hesitated. "But that project involves the Nixons' interests. If it collapses, we will lose billions." "I don't care how much is lost. What matters is that I get him out of the Nixons!" Emerald hissed.
As long as Darcy remained in the family, she would never have peace of mind or security in her position.
As for his claims about Edward recovering, she didn't believe them for a second- nor did she care.
She knew Edward's health better than anyone. The best he could do was maintain his current state. There was no chance of him getting better.
"Understood, Mom," Brian replied.
After Emerald hung up, she slipped her phone into her bag, stepped out of the car, and put on a smile as she walked into the grand hall.

By the tshe finally found a moment to rest, over an hour had passed.
She scanned the room and noticed Nyla was nowhere to be seen. Her brows furrowed as she turned to the butler.
Upon hearing that Nyla had gone back to her room, her face darkened.
"Go get her. She is not allowed to leay@the banquet hall until the event is over." The primary purpose of this banquet was to introduce Nyla to эледия

I'll go right away." Ten minutes later, he returned, looking uneasy. "Madam... Ms. Kinsey has locked her door and refuses to cout."
Emerald's expression grew even colder. She lowered red her voice. "Use the spare key. If she won't cwillingly, drag her here if you have to." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
