Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1116

It was unexpected that Gabriel's plan would fail.

"Additionally, his secretary has been detained by the police. It looks like they'll both be facing jail time," Spencer reported.

Damon's expression remained icy. "Understood. Make sure he doesn't have any chance of getting out."

"Yes, Mr. Sumner," Spencer replied.

Just as Spencer was about to leave, the door to Damon's office swung open.

Pedro walked in, his face clouded with anger. "Mr. Sumner, it's been a while."

Damon raised an eyebrow and offered a polite smile. "Mr. Wilkie, it has indeed. What brings you here today?"

Pedro let out a cold laugh. "I heard that my useless granddaughter sold 10% of the Wilkie Group's shares to you for a mere 7,000,000 dollars without even knowing their actual value. I'm here about that."

"Mr. Wilkie, please take a seat. We can discuss this," Damon said, gesturing toward the chair opposite him.

Pedro sat down, his tone stern. "Mr. Sumner, I don’t plan to take advantage of you. My granddaughter sold the shares to you for 7,000,000 dollars, so I'm offering you another 1,000,000 dollars to buy them back for 8,000,000 dollars. What do you think?"

A quick turnaround like this—just two days—and Damon could pocket a free 1,000,000 dollars. If he had any sense, he'd agree to such a deal.

"Rest assured. Now that I'm a shareholder, I'll fulfill the responsibilities that come with the position," Damon added.

Pedro nearly choked on his anger.

Responsibilities as a shareholder? It was obvious Damon intended to seize a bigger piece of the Wilkie Group—or even swallow the entire company.

Regret surged through Pedro. If he had known Jane was going to sell the shares for just 7,000,000 dollars, he would have bought them from her himself.

"Mr. Sumner, let's cut to the chase. What will it take for you to give those shares back?" he asked.
