Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 986

Pedro's irritated voice crackled through Jane's earpiece. "What are you waiting for? Start apologizing!"

Jane drew a deep breath before speaking into the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, members of the press, good evening. I am here tonight to address the recent events surrounding the bidding process for the Mosaic Date Mall.

"First, I want to extend my sincerest apologies to Prospectus Technology's CEO, Mr. Damon Sumner.

"For the sake of my company's interests, I sabotaged Prospectus Technology, preventing their team from competing. Their months of hard work were wasted because of my actions.

"I take full responsibility and am willing to compensate Prospectus Technology for all their losses. I sincerely hope Mr. Sumner can forgive me.

"Second, I must clarify that my actions during the bidding process were entirely my own and had no connection to the Wilkie Group.

"Finally, after this press conference, I will resign from my position as the Wilkie Group's general manager and will no longer participate in the company's affairs."

Jane bowed deeply to the audience as murmurs rippled through the room.

The press conference dissolved into chaos, reporters shouting over one another with more questions.

Jane remained silent.

The company's lawyer stepped forward and took control of the microphone. "Good evening. I'm the Wilkie Group's lawyer, Matthew Coburn, and I will address your inquiries."

Jane sat off to the side, now little more than a prop. Her hands, hidden beneath the table, were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

When the conference concluded, she rose stiffly to leave, but Matthew intercepted her.

"Ms. Wilkie, Mr. Wilkie has asked that you stay behind after the conference," he said.

"For what?" Jane asked, her tone flat.
