Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 985

Jane felt as though she had been struck by a heavy blow, standing frozen in place.

For the past few days, she had remained in the villa, hearing nothing from Pedro or anyone at the company.

She had been clinging to the faint hope that there was still a chance to salvage the situation. But now, with the fallout from the Starlite project, it was clear—she was finished.

Seeing her motionless, Pedro roared, "Why are you still standing there? Get back and prepare! Let me make one thing clear: if you screw up the press conference later, you're out of this family. You'll cease to exist in the Wilkies!"

"Grandpa..." Jane tried to speak.

Theo sneered. "Jane, I suggest you get ready for the press conference. Oh, and by the way, Damon will be attending. If he's not satisfied with your apology, you might find yourself back in a holding cell."

"What did you say? Damon is coming?" Jane repeated.

The shock on her face twisted her features into something almost grotesque.

"That's right," Theo confirmed. "And don't think you can get away with just a hollow apology after what you pulled during the bidding process. You'll also need to cough up hundreds of millions in damages to Prospectus Technology."

The Wilkie Group and Pedro weren't going to help her pay a dime.

…

Jane had no recollection of how she made it back to the villa.

Snapping out of her thoughts, she realized it was already evening.

Wendy approached with concern. "Ms. Wilkie, you haven't eaten anything all day. Please, eat something."

"I don't feel like eating," Jane replied.

Wendy persisted, "But if you don't eat, your health—"

"I said I don't want to! Don't you understand? Get out! I don't want to see anyone right now!" Jane snapped.
