Trading My Ex for His Uncle Chapter 816
Damon's profile was cold when he answered, "Let's see what Jane wants to discuss before we decide.""Okay," Nyla replied.…Jane had just finished getting ready to leave when a maid from the Wilkie residence hurried over."Ms. Wilkie, Mr. Pedro wants to see you," the maid informed her.Jane frowned. "Did Grandpa say what it was about?"The maid shook her head. "No, he didn't.""Alright, I understand. You can go back now," Jane replied.After the maid left, Jane changed her shoes and turned to Gabriel, who was still having breakfast. "Gabriel, take Wil to school later. Grandpa called me over, and I don't want to delay."Gabriel replied gently, "Sure."Once Jane left, Wilhelm threw down his spoon in indignation. "Daddy, I don't want to go to school. I don't want to see Mason!"Gabriel looked at him and asked, "But you promised Mommy and me last night that you'd be good."After Gabriel returned home the previous night, Jane had told him about her plan to use Wilhelm's injury t

"If we can resolve this matter, I plan to give you a portion of the company's equity. This way, your voice in the company will carry more weight," Pedro said.Jane's eyes lit up with excitement. "Grandpa, really?"Over the past few years, she had made significant contributions to the development of the Wilkie Group. Without shares, however, the company's shareholders often questioned her authority.Having a stake in the Wilkie Group would make it much easier for her to manage tasks. Moreover, owning shares would give her a say in company matters, bringing her one step closer to taking over!"Of course. I've seen your efforts, so don't worry. As long as you continue to work hard for the company, I won't shortchange you," Pedro promised.Jane felt a rush of excitement but tried to maintain a calm demeanor. "Grandpa, it's an honor to contribute to the company's development. I will work even harder to live up to your expectations!"…When Jane arrived at Prospectus Technology, it wa

Jane stared at him coldly. "Are you saying my son is lying?""Perhaps you should take a look at this first," Damon suggested.He pulled up a video he had received that morning and showed it to Jane. At first, she didn't understand, but three minutes later, her face turned ashen.Wasn't the classroom surveillance camera broken? How had Damon gotten it?Her complexion shifted rapidly, turning from pale to flushed in disbelief. She murmured, "No… this can't be happening…"If Wilhelm had truly fallen on his own, she would not only have gained nothing from Damon, but she also would have further angered him.Damon's expression remained indifferent. "If you don't believe me, I can have the video verified. You can also choose to call the police since you mentioned that yesterday."Jane shook her head repeatedly. "No… it can't be… This isn't happening…"Damon no longer looked at her. He stood up and said coldly, "I have work to do, so I won't see you out."…As Jane left Prospectus Te

Wilhelm looked up and saw Jane glaring at him fiercely.Startled, he stammered, "Mom... Mommy, why are you—"Before he could finish, Jane yanked him up and delivered two hard smacks to his backside.She scolded, "Why did you lie?! Do you have any idea how serious the consequences of your lie are?!"The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the harder she hit Wilhelm.Having been spoiled while growing up, Wilhelm had never been hit like this before. He immediately burst into tears, his sobs echoing throughout the villa. "Wah... Mommy, please stop! I know I was wrong! I'll never lie again..."Jane smacked him a few more times, still fuming. "Shut up!"Frightened by her terrifying demeanor, Wilhelm was stunned before bursting into a high-pitched, panicked cry that filled the entire villa.A maid rushed over. "Ms. Wilkie, you can't hit a child like this, and Mr. Wilhelm is frightened…"Jane shot the maid a cold glance, causing her to fall silent. The maid shrank b

"First, let's go downstairs for dinner. After we eat, I'll tell you," Gabriel said.Jane scowled. "Gabriel, I'm not in the mood for jokes!"Gabriel looked at her with a gentle gaze. "Jane, how could I joke about something like this? Come on, let's eat. You can't neglect your health, no matter what."Upon meeting his tender gaze, Jane's anger subsided a little, but she still maintained a stern expression. "You have to promise you're not lying to me.""Okay, I promise. Can we go eat now? Wil knows you're upset and hasn't had dinner yet. He's been waiting for you," Gabriel replied.Jane bit her lip. Upon recalling how she had hit Wilhelm earlier, a flicker of guilt crossed her eyes. In the heat of the moment, she had lost her temper, but now that she was calmer, she regretted it.Gabriel felt her forehead. "Your temperature is normal, but why do you look so pale?"Jane shook her head, avoiding his gaze. "I'm fine. Let's go down."They descended the stairs one after the other and s

Gabriel's expressionless face softened into a smile as Jane held his hand and led him to the dining room.After dinner, she eagerly asked him about the solution he had in mind. He gestured for her to follow him to the study.Once inside, Jane was about to press Gabriel further when he pulled a document from the drawer and handed it to her."Take a look at this first," he said.Jane took the document with a confused expression, frowning as she read the title: Golden Waters Resort Project Proposal.The Golden Waters Resort was Starlite Enterprise's largest project of the year.Starlite Enterprise, a subsidiary of Nyce Tech, had emerged in the Saintornia market about five years ago and quickly became one of Prospectus Technology's main competitors in tech manufacturing and innovation.Currently, the two companies were essentially equals.Although Starlite Enterprise had been founded just last year, it had already launched several hotel chains in major cities, achieved profitabilit

Gabriel gave her a helpless look. "Because my friend wasn't dating the Starlite Enterprise general manager's secretary before now."Jane froze for a moment before understanding. She set the document on the desk, walked around to face Gabriel, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned up and kissed him.Gabriel held her at the waist and returned the kiss, the sound of their passion filling the study.When they broke apart, Jane rested her head against Gabriel's chest and spoke softly. "That's your reward."Gabriel's gaze darkened as he twirled a strand of her hair around his finger with a smile. "Thank you, honey."He was handsome, and the smile on his face now made Jane recall their first meeting.Back then…It was a rainy day, and Pedro was in the hospital. She rushed there and accidentally bumped into Gabriel as she entered, her umbrella splashing rainwater onto his clothes.Her mood had been low due to Pedro's illness, but she was caught off guard by the gentleness in

"Just this call is proof!" Theo snapped.Gabriel's smile deepened. He murmured something low, causing Theo to fall silent immediately."I don't appreciate dealing with fools. But since you're Jane's cousin, I'll let it go this time. If there's a next time..." Gabriel warned.He didn't finish before Theo quickly replied, "Gabriel, don't worry. That recording was all my doing—nothing to do with you. I just lost my head for a moment, so don't take it personally."He added, "If that's all, Gabriel, I'll be hanging up now. I've got a few things I need to do."Without waiting for Gabriel's response, Theo hastily ended the call.Gabriel set his phone down and looked out the window into the dark night, his eyes soft with thought. Soon, he'd finally be able to be with Nyla.At Damon's villa…Nyla was playing with Mason in the living room when she sneezed.Damon and Mason both turned to her, their faces full of concern."Mommy, are you okay?" Mason asked."Are you coming down with som

"We can sign an agreement if you're still worried. I promise never to challenge your custody of Wilhelm in my lifetime," Jane assured.Seeing her determination, Gabriel remained silent.Noticing his hesitation, Jane gripped the armrests of her wheelchair tightly. "Gabriel, you're already hesitating, even though you haven't remarried yet. How can I believe you'll treat Wilhelm fairly in the future?"Gabriel's gaze turned cold. "No matter what, Wilhelm will be better off with me than with you. When and how much of the shares I give him is my decision, not yours."With that, he turned to leave.As he reached the doorway, Jane's voice echoed behind him. "If you don't transfer half your shares to Wilhelm, I won't leave the country!"Gabriel paused, then glanced back at her mockingly. "Whether you leave or stay means nothing to me. And why would you think your refusal to leave is a threat to me?""Gabriel, you're a bastard!" Jane shouted.Gabriel smirked and left without another word

Wilhelm froze for a moment, his eyes welling up with tears as confusion and hurt clouded them."Mommy, do you really not want me anymore?" he asked, his voice trembling.Jane's gaze flickered with a brief trace of pain as she looked at Wilhelm sitting pitifully on the floor. But the softness in her eyes vanished as quickly as it appeared.She stared at him coldly. "That's right. I never wanted you. I hit you to try and get your father to come back."The other day, when I took you out for steak, I deliberately let you eat that hazelnut cake. You started itching later because you're allergic—that was intentional, too. I wanted you hospitalized so I could force your father to see me."Her tone grew harsher. "Now that Gabriel and I are divorced, you're of no use to me. You're just a burden. Taking you with me would only drag me down."And I hate your father. Naturally, I hate you, too. Don't show up in front of me again!"Wilhelm sat frozen, her words cutting into him like shards of

If Wilhelm stopped wanting to see Jane, the bond between them would naturally fade over time."No! I don't want food!" Wilhelm cried, hurling Gabriel's phone onto the car seat.He began pounding on the car door, trying to open it. "I want to see Mommy! I want to live with her, not you!"Gabriel, his patience wearing thin, locked the doors with a sharp click and turned to Wilhelm, his expression darkening."Your mother doesn't want you. Even if you find her, she won't take you. I'm the only one you have now," he said."I hate you! I don't want to be with you! I don't want you as my dad!" Wilhelm screamed.Gabriel's restraint, already fraying after days of tantrums, finally snapped. He stared at his son and said coldly, "It doesn't matter whether you want me or not. No one wants you now except me."Jane didn't want Wilhelm. The Wilkies wouldn't want him either."That's not true!" Wilhelm sobbed uncontrollably. "Mommy wants me. Mommy's just mad. If I'm good, she'll take me back! S

Lydia nodded. "Okay, Ms. Kinsey."Shortly after, Lydia returned with Mason by her side.When Mason saw Gabriel and Wilhelm standing at the door, he frowned and turned to Nyla. "Mommy, why is Wilhelm here?"Nyla patted his head gently. "He's here to apologize to you.""Oh." Mason's response was wary, clearly unconvinced.Gabriel observed Nyla's affectionate interaction with Mason, his eyes flickering with a trace of emotion. He turned to Wilhelm. "What did you promise me before we came?"Wilhelm's reluctance was evident. He had agreed to apologize, but only under the threat of losing his chance to see his mother."Mason, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you yesterday. I hope you can forgive me," Wilhelm said, his voice subdued.Mason didn't respond immediately. Instead, he looked up at Nyla, silently seeking her guidance."Buddy, this is your decision to make," Nyla said softly. "I'll respect whatever you decide."Mason lowered his head, thinking for a moment.Finally, he s

Brandon sighed and placed the items on the desk. "Aunt Nyla, this crisis is unlike anything Prospectus Technology has faced before. If things go wrong, the company can go bankrupt."Uncle Damon prepared these after finding out Buddy is his son, but he hadn't found the right time to give them to you."Keep them for now. If Prospectus Technology collapses, he'll need this to start over."After a moment's silence, Nyla nodded. "Alright, I'll hold onto them. Is this the only reason you came?""Yes, I need to get back to work," Brandon replied."I'll see you out," Nyla offered.After sending Brandon off, she returned to the study and placed the documents and bank card in the safe upstairs.The next morning…As Nyla was getting dressed, Lydia knocked on the door."Ms. Kinsey, there's a man outside who says he's your brother," Lydia informed her.Brother?Thinking it was likely Gabriel, Nyla's expression turned cold. "I don't know him. Tell him to leave.""Understood," Lydia said

Damon put the file down and sat across from Nyla.Noticing two portions of breakfast on the table, he asked, "You haven't eaten either?""No," Nyla replied as she opened the packages and handed one to him. "I came to eat with you. Spencer told me he brought you breakfast this morning, but you didn't touch it.""I was too busy," Damon said."Being busy isn't an excuse to skip meals. I saw your assistants running around like crazy, and I heard they barely got any sleep last night. Is the issue with the company that serious?" Nyla asked."It's significant," Damon admitted. "Our chips might be causing malfunctions in our partner's machines. If that's confirmed, the company will face a massive compensation payout."Nyla frowned, worry flashing in her eyes. "I can't help much with work, but the least I can do is keep things in order at home. By the way, are you coming home tonight?""Probably not," he replied. "There's still a lot to handle.""Alright. Finish your breakfast. I'll hea

Gabriel took the document, skimmed its contents, and his face darkened."What is it?" Tom asked.Gabriel tossed the document onto the table with a cold laugh. "Nothing important. Damon's just trying to catch me off guard."The document contained evidence of Nyce Tech hiring paid posters to smear Prospectus Technology, but Gabriel wasn't worried.Soon enough, those allegations would become the truth.Tom glanced at the papers and grinned. "As long as it's not a big problem. Anyway, I should get going.""Fine, but don't forget your part in this," Gabriel said pointedly.There was a cold glint in Tom's eyes, though his smile remained. "Relax. I won't let you handle Prospectus Technology alone."After Tom left, Gabriel drained his wine in one gulp.As he prepared to head to his study, a maid approached with a concerned expression."Mr. Hackett, Mr. Wilhelm still refuses to eat," the maid informed him.Gabriel had brought Wilhelm straight back to the villa instead of letting him

Damon's expression was icy as he spoke. "I've already sent the head of R&D with a team to investigate. Let's wait for their findings before jumping to conclusions."He added, "The Agihop 6th Gen isn't out yet. If the issue does lie in the Agihop 5th Gen, we should prepare for the worst—compensation payouts and the possibility of... bankruptcy.""What?!" A collective gasp echoed through the room, disbelief etched on everyone's faces."All this over a single batch of faulty machines from the Longbow Company? Isn't that a bit extreme?""Exactly. If the problem is with the Agihop 5th Gen chips, wouldn't paying compensation suffice?""Mr. Sumner, aren't you exaggerating?"The notion that Prospectus Technology could face bankruptcy over a single chip seemed absurd.Meeting their skepticism with a calm demeanor, Damon elaborated, "The news about Longbow Company's machines breaking down after using our chips has already spread.They're attributing the issue to Prospectus Technology's p

Damon's expression remained unmoved. "As I said, we'll investigate thoroughly. Asking us to accept responsibility before the investigation is complete seems unreasonable, doesn't it?"Jeffrey let out a cold laugh. "Fine, Mr. Sumner. But I hope you act quickly. Every day of delay costs us millions. The longer this drags on, the more Prospectus Technology will have to pay."With that, Jeffrey turned and stormed out of the room.Damon, his expression as icy as ever, summoned the head of the R&D department to his office."Take two of your team members to the Longbow Company and investigate the root cause of the machine failures. Determine whether it's our chips," Damon instructed."Mr. Sumner, it can't be our chips! We've invested so much in their development, and they've been on the market for over three years without a single issue. The problem must be elsewhere," the department head replied.Damon's tone sharpened. "I want accurate results based on the investigation—not assumption
