Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1093

Theo's expression froze. If he had been willing to pay for the shares she held, he wouldn't have sought her out in the first place.

"Jane, don't push your luck. Don't forget, Grandpa gave you 10% of the Wilkie Group's shares because he wanted you to divorce Gabriel. You didn't lift a finger, so why should you keep those shares?!" he snapped.

Jane raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Why? You just said it yourself. The 10% shares were my compensation for divorcing Gabriel. So why should I hand them over just because you're shameless?"

"You—" Theo's face darkened.

Pointing a finger at her, he spoke coldly. "Don't forget, the Wilkies will still provide you a monthly allowance once you go abroad. If you cross me now, don't expect to see a single penny from us!"

"Fine, then I won't take it! And don't think you can take advantage of me!" she shot back.

He wanted her shares without offering anything in return—his audacity was unmatched.

"Fine. Don't regret it!" Theo stormed out, slamming the door so hard the sound reverberated through the house.

After he left, Wendy cautiously approached. "Ms. Wilkie, you've angered both Mr. Pedro and Mr. Theo. What will you do now?"

Jane glanced at her, her expression unreadable. "With them like this, do you think I can rely on them in the future?"

She had finally understood: one could only rely on oneself in this world.

Wendy hesitated but seemed ready to speak again.

Jane waved her hand impatiently. "Enough, I don't want to hear it. If you have time, go pick up Wilhelm from Gabriel's place."

She had heard about Gabriel's illegal acquisition of Prospectus Technology's core data. His actions would likely make it impossible for him to evade consequences, and Wilhelm needed to be brought back to her side.

"Alright, I'll leave shortly," Wendy replied.

After a long pause, he nodded. "Understood. I've saved some money for him. It should be enough for the two of you to live comfortably abroad."

Jane blinked in surprise but quickly scoffed. "Even if you do that, don't expect my gratitude. And Wilhelm won't be forced to remember your so-called good deeds in the future."

If it weren't for Gabriel, she wouldn't be in this position. The Wilkies' abandonment of her was entirely his fault.

Gabriel's voice turned cold. "I don't need your gratitude. Never mention me to Wilhelm. Act as if I don't exist."

"Don't worry. I won't. I hope this is the last time we meet," Jane said flatly.

Gabriel looked at her for a long moment before speaking softly. "Please take care of our son."

Jane gave no reply. She turned and left without another word.
