NovelUpdateChapter 1132 Drake smiled faintly. "I want to marry Nyla." Alexander scoffed. "Ambitious, aren't you?" If Nyla successfully inherited the Nixons' legacy, Drake's status would soar as her husband.
Drake pulled out a chair and sat across from Alexander. "If I'm engaged to her, I can legitimately support her return to the Nixons. Don't you agree?" He leaned forward. "I don't have lofty ambitions. I only want the MK Company. Once she's secured her position, we can annul the marriage anytime. This arrangement benefits you without costing you a thing." Alexander tapped his fingers on the rim of his glass, considering Drake's proposal.
After a prolonged silence, he said, "MK could be yours, but I don't trust you." "Mr. Kinsey, we can draw up a contract if trust is an issue. That way, if I break my word, you'll have legal recourse," Drake suggested.
Alexander didn't respond immediately. "Leave for now. I need to think it over." He also needed to gauge Nyla's reaction to learning about her ties to the Nixons. This wasn't a decision he could make alone.

Once Drake left, Alexander set his glass down and exited the room.

Nyla was about to head hafter dropping Mason off at school when Alexander approached her.
"Ms. Kinsey, we've met before. I'd like to talk. Do you have time?" he asked.

Alexander passed the menu to the waiter. "An iced Americano for me! and warm milk for the lady." "Got it. Coming right up," the waiter replied.
Once the waiter left, Nyla turned to Alexander. What did you want to talk about?" He studied her intently before speaking. "Aren't you curious why we share the slast name?" She blinked in surprise before chuckling. "Plenty of people share the ssurname."
"Your mother is my father's younger The sister," Alexander said evenly. That makesyour co cousin." His calm tone didn't soften the impact of his words.
Nyla stared at him, stunned. She had never heard anything about her mother having siblings.
"Mr. Kinsey... are you serious?" she asked hesitantly.
Seeing her disbelief, Alexander pulled out a family photo and placed it in front of her. "This is a picture of the family. Your mother always regretted that you weren't inat."
