"Are you insane? Are you going against me for Prospectus Technology?" Emerald demanded.
Alexander took a deep breath and replied firmly, "Aunt Emerald, I''m helping you."
"Helping me? If you really want to help me, then get back to Meristate immediately and stop interfering with Prospectus Technology''s downfall!" Emerald snapped.
"I''m afraid I can''t do that," Alexander said.
There was a long silence on the other end of the line. Emerald was clearly struggling to contain her emotions.
After a pause, her voice turned frosty. "Alexander, if you insist on staying in Saintornia and helping Prospectus Technology, then you are officially opposing me. Don''t me me for not showing mercy."
Years of ruthless decisions had earned her the position of head of the Nixons. She would never allow anyone to disrupt her ns, not even her own nephew.
"Aunt Emerald, don''t you understand? If you want N to stay obedient, thest thing you should do is target Prospectus Technology.
"Everyone has their limits. If you push N too far, who knows what she''ll do? Don''t wait until it''s toote and regret it," Alexander reasoned.
Emerald let out a bitterugh. "What can she possibly do? I warn you, stay out of Prospectus Technology''s business. You can''t save them."
With that, she hung up.
Alexander sighed, pocketed his phone, and got into his car.
Back in Emerald''s office, fury consumed her. She mmed her phone onto the desk.
She had supported Alexander for so many years, and now he had the audacity to turn against her.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Grabbing thendline, she dialed her brother. "Control your son! Stop him from interfering in Saintornia! If he messes up my position in the Nixons, we''ll all go down together!"
Not long after that call, Alexander received a call from his father.
His father warned, "Alexander, your aunt is
in

If she really loses her

There was a long silence before Alexander quietly replied, "I understand. I''ll go back in a few days."
After hanging up, concern crept over his face. He had a sinking feeling that if things continued this way, the situation could spiral out of
swtrol.
For the next two days, Alexander tried repeatedly to arrange a meeting with
Damon, but thetter refused to see him.
Finally, on the third morning, Alexander instructed Nigel to book him a flight back to Meristate.
Enough was enough. Damon''s stance was clear, and there was no point in pushing further.
That afternoon, Alexander left Saintornia.
Not long after his departure, Damon received the news.
"Mr. Sumner, Mr. Kinsey seems to have given up," Spencer reported.
"Mm. How''s N?" Damon asked.
Before N had left, he had sent his men to Meristate, instructing them to be ready in case she reached out for help.
"Stings has already infiltrated the Nixon estate. Now, we just have to wait for Ms. Kinsey to contact them," Spencer replied.
Damon nodded. "Yes. If N needs help, she''ll reach out."
"Mr. Sumner, with Stings watching
over her, she should be safe. The
most important thing now is to
stabilize Prospectus Technology so Emerald can''t make another move against us," Spencer reminded him.
"Mm. If anything happens over there, let me know immediately," Damon
instructed.
"Sure," Spencer replied.
"That''s all," Damon said.
After Spencer left, Damon picked up his files, but his mind couldn''t focus. All he
could think about was how N was faring over there.
