Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1139

"You're saying... we should team up with other companies to go against Prospectus Technology?" Theo asked.

He frowned as he looked at Pedro. "But Prospectus Technology helped the Wilkie Group before. If we turn around and attack them now, won't people think we're ungrateful?"

Pedro let out a cold laugh. "I gave Damon a chance—he chose not to take it. If that's the case, I have no choice but to be ruthless. The Wilkie Group must reclaim that 10% stake!"

The thought of that stake being in Damon's hands felt like a sword hanging over Pedro's head, keeping him awake night after night.

Initially, he had offered to buy back the shares, but Damon had refused, driven by greed.

"But—" Theo began.

"No buts! Do you want the Wilkie Group to end up under the name 'Sumner'?" Pedro leered at Theo, his face contorted with fury.

Theo quickly said, "Grandpa, of course, I don't want that. But the Wilkie Group has just stabilized. If we rush into alliances with other companies, it may create future risks."

Besides, who would trust the Wilkie Group if they turned their back on Damon right after he helped them?

"Right now, the priority is retrieving that 10% stake. As for any risks, we'll deal with them later," Pedro replied.

Seeing his grandfather's resolute expression, Theo nodded. "Alright. What do you need me to do? I'll follow your lead."

"You don't need to worry about this. You won't handle it well anyway. Just focus on managing the company. I'll take care of the rest," Pedro dismissed him.

Theo understood his grandfather's reasoning. Being new to the company and without any significant achievements, he would struggle to earn the respect of potential allies.

With no objections, he nodded again. "Alright, I understand."

"Good. Now leave me be. I need to think about who to reach out to," Pedro said.

"Yes, Grandpa, I'll go now," Theo replied.

After Theo left, Pedro fell into deep thought.
