Upgrading My Ex to His Uncle Chapter 1304

Mary pulled a document from her bag and handed it to Emerald. "You can check it carefully—it has Edward's signature."

Emerald's expression remained cold as she took the papers. Sure enough, Edward's signature was on the last page.

She slammed the document onto the table. "I heard Edward's health has been declining. Does he still have the energy to authorize you to attend the meeting?"

"Of course. After all, Brian lost a leg and can't inherit the Nixons anymore. But Vik is still perfectly fine. As Edward's son, he has every right to the family legacy," Mary announced.

Emerald's face twisted with anger. "Mary, if you say one more word about Brian, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Mary chuckled. "Emerald, I'm just stating facts. Why are you so mad?"

"Shut up!" Emerald hissed.

Tension crackled between them, but the other Nixon members quickly grew impatient.

Cortez frowned. "Are we holding this meeting or not? If not, I'm leaving. I didn't come here to watch you two argue."

Suppressing her fury, Emerald snapped, "Let's start the meeting."

Mary and Vik took their seats.

Vik looked nervous, while Mary sat back leisurely, her gaze taunting Emerald.

The meeting proceeded as planned, discussing recent developments within the Nixons and deciding on future business directions.

Midway through, Mary suddenly looked at Emerald. "Emerald, I heard you transferred all your shares in Kajer Tech to your long-lost daughter, Nyla. And yet, just days after she joined the company, she disappeared without a trace. Don't you think you owe everyone here an explanation?"

At her words, everyone turned to Emerald, some already showing signs of discontent.

Emerald kept a straight face. "Why should I explain myself to anyone for transferring my own shares to my daughter?"

Mary scoffed. "Your shares? Don't forget that Edward gave you those shares—meaning they were part of the Nixons' assets."

Edward had handed over those shares to Emerald when he fell ill, giving her temporary control of the Nixons. Without that, she never would have had a stake in Kajer Tech.

"That's true," Emerald admitted.

"But when he gave them to me, I paid him for them. That means Kajer Tech has no ties to the Nixons anymore.

"Yet for the past few years, I've reinvested all my dividends from Kajer Tech back into the Nixons.

"Now that I've transferred the company to my daughter, what's the problem?" she retorted.

Mary's expression darkened. "You're lying! You never paid Edward a cent! Kajer Tech is one of the Nixons' most valuable assets. There's no way he would've let it become your private property."

"If you don't believe me, feel free to ask Edward. Now, we have other matters to discuss. If you have nothing useful to say, I suggest you keep quiet," Emerald snapped.

Without sparing Mary another glance, she turned to the other members. "Let's continue with our agenda."

"Hold on." Cortez leaned forward, his tone casual but sharp. "Emerald, Kajer Tech is one of the Nixons' most profitable businesses. Now you're claiming it belongs solely to you. I think that's something we need to discuss further."
