Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 987

Damon glanced at Jane but remained silent.

The room fell into an oppressive silence, the air thick with tension.

Jane kept her head lowered, waiting for Damon to speak.

When he didn't, she finally lifted her gaze and said, "Mr. Sumner... I truly apologize. I was blinded by greed. For the damage I caused to Prospectus Technology, I'm willing to provide full compensation. Please, I beg you to forgive me. Please give the Wilkie Group another chance."

Pedro quickly interjected, "Mr. Sumner, Jane has made a grave mistake, and I take full responsibility for failing to guide her properly. I promise to discipline her moving forward. She won't repeat this kind of error. Could you find it in your heart to let this matter rest?"

Damon glanced at Pedro, his expression unreadable as he responded. "Since you've said as much, we'll let this go. But I warn you—if this happens again, there will be no leniency."

Pedro nodded eagerly. "Of course, Mr. Sumner! I assure you, there won't be another incident like this."

Given the Wilkie Group's current instability, a single decisive move from Damon could collapse the company within a month.

The stakes were too high, and Pedro knew he had no choice but to humble himself.

Jane clenched her fists in silent resentment and humiliation but kept her head bowed, standing beside Pedro.

Damon rose from his seat, Nyla following him as he said, "We'll leave now. My secretary will deliver an assessment of the damages caused by the bidding incident to your company tomorrow morning."

Pedro hurriedly offered, "Allow me to escort you out."

Damon waved him off. "That won't be necessary."

With that, Damon and Nyla left the room, leaving behind an overwhelming silence.

She couldn't accept it. Staying meant she might still have a chance to return to the Wilkie Group someday. Leaving would close that door forever.

Pedro's voice grew icy. "This isn't up for discussion. If you refuse to leave, don't expect another penny from me. You're free to fend for yourself."

"Grandpa, are you really planning to hand the company over to Theo?" Jane asked, desperation creeping into her voice.

She continued. "You've seen the results of my work these past years. What happened recently was just an accident. I can learn from this, and I swear it won't happen again!

"If you don't trust me, don't give me any shares. I'll just work a salaried position. But if you give the company to Theo, it will be ruined!"

Pedro sneered. "You're no longer a Wilkie Group employee. The company's future is none of your concern.

"I'll have someone deliver your flight tickets later. If you go abroad, I'll transfer you 150,000 dollars every month. If you stay, don't expect a single cent."
