Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1091

Pedro scowled as he said coldly, "She's about to leave the country. What's the point of holding so many shares?

"It's not that we're unwilling to give her money, but you all know the situation at the Wilkie Group. Even if we were to give her the money, it will have to wait until the company stabilizes."

Jane sneered. "You make it sound so reasonable. If I handed over all my shares to Theo, I'd be lucky to see a penny from him. That's assuming he'd even bother to get my name right!"

Pedro glared at her. "Are you really going to push me?"

"You're the one forcing me," Jane replied, her voice icy. "Even if the shares rot in my hands, I'll never give them to Theo!"

"Fine! You're a truly good granddaughter!" Pedro snapped, his voice brimming with fury.

The meeting ended on a sour note, with everyone leaving in frustration.

…

Back at the villa, Ruth sat beside Jane. "Now that they couldn't get the shares, they'll surely come up with other ways to take them from you. Jane, don't let your guard down."

Soft-hearted? Jane scoffed. When Pedro chose Theo and abandoned her, she had stopped feeling sorry for him.

Still, the shares weren't safe in her hands. Given Theo's nature, he might resort to something worse to get them.

Jane glanced at her mother. "Mom, I'm going out for a while."

She left the villa and went straight to Prospectus Technology.

...

When Damon heard Jane was there to see him, he raised an eyebrow.

Jane fixed her gaze on him. "I don't want money. I want to trade 10% of the Wilkie Group's shares for 1% of Prospectus Technology's shares."

If the shares were no longer in her possession, Pedro couldn't force her to transfer them to Theo. She was determined not to let Theo win.

Damon frowned.

Trading 10% of the Wilkie Group for 1% of Prospectus Technology seemed favorable at first glance. However, with the Wilkie Group in decline, those shares held little value for him.

"Sorry, Ms. Wilkie. I can't accept that offer. Prospectus Technology just weathered some turbulence, and I have no plans to sell my shares," he replied.

Jane's expression tightened. She hadn't anticipated his refusal. "Mr. Sumner, I don't intend to join the board of Prospectus Technology. I'm only interested in the dividends. Besides, I'll be leaving the country soon and won't be coming back."

Damon's tone remained cool. "Ms. Wilkie, I don't rely on guarantees that aren't legally binding. It seems this deal isn't feasible."
