Trading My Ex for His Uncle Chapter 956
Jane's words reminded Pedro of something he had almost forgotten.Years ago, he had assigned Gabriel to the gaming company, not expecting it to thrive. He had done so simply to keep Gabriel away from the Wilkie Group's core operations. Yet somehow, Gabriel had managed to turn it around.Pedro glanced at his butler and said, "Go and call Gabriel."Half an hour later…Pedro sat behind his desk in the study, while Gabriel stood in the center of the room.Jane remained kneeling on the floor."Gabriel," Pedro began, his tone firm. "I hear your gaming company has been doing well these past couple of years. You're aware of the Wilkie Group's crisis. I've decided to sell the company to save the group. Start preparing the necessary documents for the handover."Gabriel didn't seem surprised by this decision. He nodded calmly. "Alright. But selling in a rush might mean we won't get the best price.""I know. How much do you think it's worth right now?" Pedro asked.After a moment of thoug

Gabriel looked at Jane and said, "That's not what I mean. I'm just planning ahead. If the Wilkie Group does go bankrupt, at least we'll have a fallback plan."Jane scoffed. "The Wilkie Group will never go bankrupt!""Maybe not," Gabriel said evenly. "But it's always good to have a contingency plan. After all, you and I can endure it, but I don't want Wil to suffer."Upon hearing this, Jane's expression softened slightly. No mother would want her child to endure hardship."Fine, let's go. Let's try to get all the documents organized today," she said, briskly heading toward the company's entrance.She didn't notice the sudden coldness that flashed in Gabriel's eyes.…By the time they finished organizing the critical documents, it was nearing midnight.As they stepped out of the company, Jane glanced at the still-lit Wilkie Group building in the distance. Her lips pressed into a thin line, her expression complicated, as if lost in thought.Gabriel put an arm around her shoulders

Pedro's words immediately silenced the room.No one dared to argue further. His statement was clear—Jane would remain general manager."This partnership with Starlite was indeed a risky move," Pedro said. "But all of you were in favor of it at the time. We can't pin the blame solely on her. I trust she'll learn from this and avoid such risks in the future."The shareholders exchanged uneasy looks but said nothing more. After all, with Pedro holding 80% of the shares, the general manager would remain a Wilkie, no matter what.Jane mentally took note of the shareholders who had spoken against her, planning to deal with them once this crisis was truly over.…Back in the office after the meeting, Jane turned to Pedro. "Grandpa, thank you for speaking up for me just now. Otherwise, I can't imagine how far those shareholders would have gone in tearing me down."Pedro's gaze was icy. "Don't misunderstand. I only defended you because you're family. You'd better behave yourself and avoi

Before Gabriel could respond, Mason quickly ran to the waiting driver. He climbed into the car and drove off without looking back.Gabriel watched the Cayenne disappear into the distance, narrowing his eyes slightly."Daddy!" Wilhelm shouted.Feeling a tug at his leg, Gabriel looked down to find Wilhelm staring up at him, full of excitement."Daddy, why are you here to pick me up today?" Wilhelm asked.Both Gabriel and Jane were usually so busy with work that they relied on the driver for school pickups and drop-offs. As a result, Wilhelm was rarely greeted by either parent.When he saw his father standing outside the school gate, he almost couldn't believe it.Gabriel smiled and lifted Wilhelm into his arms. "I finished work early today, so I thought I'd come pick you up. Did you have fun at school?""Mm-hmm. It was okay," Wilhelm said.Gabriel noticed Wilhelm didn't seem unhappy, so he carried him toward the car and asked, "What would you like to eat tonight? I'll have the h

Jane's expression shifted as she asked, "Why the sudden decision?""The gaming company's been sold, and the Wilkie Group isn't out of the woods yet. Grandpa likely won't assign me to a new role anytime soon, and I can't keep living off you. I might as well look for a new job," Gabriel replied.Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Jane hesitated. "Let's talk about it when I get back. Grandpa might have other plans for you."Gabriel crouched in front of her, looking up into her eyes. His voice was gentle, almost pleading. "Jane, I don't want to rely on Grandpa anymore. When we first got married, I didn't want to work for the Wilkies at all. But I couldn't say no to him back then, and one year turned into several."Now that the gaming company is gone, I want to forge my own path. And more than that, I hate that I couldn't help you during this crisis. It's been eating at me."If I have my own career, maybe I can create opportunities to support you. Don't you think so?"Jane was moment

Upon hearing that, Damon set the file in his hand down and said, "The purpose of Starlite's project is likely to bring down the Wilkie Group."Unfortunately, neither Jane nor Pedro had caught on. They were walking straight into the trap.Not that Damon cared. Whether the Wilkie Group sank or swam meant nothing to him."I recall that Starlite is a subsidiary of Nyce Tech. Look into who's really behind Nyce Tech," Damon instructed.A project this massive wouldn't happen without someone from Nyce Tech's higher-ups signing off. The general manager of Starlite Enterprise wouldn't dare act alone, no matter how bold they were."Mr. Sumner, the owner behind Nyce Tech has never shown their face publicly. Finding out who it is might take some time," Spencer replied.Damon raised an eyebrow. "Isn't Falcon idle right now?"After Falcon's investigation into Drake in Meristate had been exposed, the entire team had been recalled locally and were currently on leave.If Falcon found out their b

Sullivan wrote that if Ruby chose to stay and build her career in Saintornia, the apartment could provide her with a sense of security.If she decided to leave, she could sell it and use the money to start fresh elsewhere. Whatever choice she made, he would support her.Ruby knew most of the money Sullivan had used to buy the apartment had been misappropriated from Prospectus Technology's pharmaceutical research fund.Somehow, he had managed to keep his accounts clean and avoid suspicion from the authorities. On paper, the apartment had no connection to him and hadn't been seized by the police.With his salary, however, it would have been impossible for him to afford an apartment in downtown Saintornia outright.At first, Ruby intended to sell the apartment and use the proceeds to repay the misappropriated funds. After a sleepless night, though, she began to hesitate.An apartment in downtown Saintornia was worth millions. Selling it could provide her with the means to leave the

The police were thorough, not leaving until they had escorted Ruby to a hotel and ensured her safety.Once inside the room, Ruby felt a fleeting sense of security after locking the door and drawing the curtains. She sat at the edge of the bed, still visibly shaken, her face pale from the ordeal.After sitting in silence for a while, she went into the bathroom to shower.As the warm water streamed over her, she made up her mind—she was going to sell the apartment.She knew it was selfish but also knew that this was the only way to break free from her oppressive family.The next morning…Ruby contacted a realtor and listed the apartment for sale.The property, located in the heart of the city, quickly attracted interest.Within three days, it sold for 1,800,000 dollars.When the money hit her account, Ruby stared at the large sum in disbelief. Her emotions were a turbulent mix of relief and unease. This was more money than she could ever hope to make in a lifetime as a pharmaceu

Jane smiled and praised, "You're such a good boy, Wil. Come here—Mommy wants to tell you something."Hesitant but trusting, Wilhelm slowly moved closer to her.The moment he was within reach, Jane grabbed his collar, her expression dark and menacing. "When I called you earlier, why didn't you come immediately?"Terrified, Wilhelm turned pale, tears brimming in his eyes. "Mommy… I was scared…""Scared of what?" Jane demanded."Scared you'd hit me… Waaaah…" Wilhelm cried.When Wilhelm had been staying with Gabriel, he'd worried he'd never see his mother again.But now, seeing her up close, she seemed frightening—nothing like the gentle mother he used to know.Jane's patience snapped at the sound of his crying. "Shut up! If you keep crying, I'll throw you out!"Wilhelm immediately clammed up, though he couldn't stop the little hiccups that followed. His face was streaked with tears, making him look pitiful.Just then, the door to the room opened, and Wendy walked in carrying som

Embarrassment flickered across Wren's face as she muttered, "I didn't… I just didn't know the situation before, okay?""If you don't know the situation, then don't meddle," Gabriel rebuked.After a moment of silence, Wren stole a glance at Gabriel and softly said, "Gabriel, this time it's my fault. I'm sorry. But Wil absolutely cannot be sent back to Jane. Who knows how she'll treat him? She's already proven she's capable of terrible things."Just thinking about Jane intentionally causing Wilhelm's allergic reaction made Wren's skin crawl. What kind of mother could be so cruel?"I know what I'm doing. From now on, if Jane contacts you, don't respond," Gabriel instructed.Wren quickly nodded. "Okay… I understand…""If there's nothing else, you can go. I have work to do," Gabriel dismissed."Alright… I'll leave now…" Wren answered.As Wren walked out of the villa, she finally let out a sigh of relief.Just as she was about to call her driver, her phone rang.Seeing that it was

Wilhelm froze at Gabriel's stern expression, shrinking behind Wren and peeking at his father with frightened eyes.Without looking at him, Gabriel called for a maid. "Take him to the Wilkies with the driver later."The maid nodded. "Understood."Just as the maid was about to lead Wilhelm away, Wren pulled the boy behind her and snapped, "Gabriel, can't you see how scared he is?"Gabriel finally lifted his gaze to her, his tone icy. "Weren't you the one who brought him to me and insisted I let him see Jane? Now that I've agreed, what more do you want?"Wren stiffened but quickly composed herself. "I only brought him because he was crying so pitifully. That doesn't mean I want him to live with Jane again."She wasn't stupid. It was clear that Wilhelm was better off with Gabriel than with Jane.If the divorce went through, Jane would eventually remarry, and who knew how much Wilhelm would suffer in her new household?At least with Gabriel, Wren could visit Wilhelm often, and he wo

Raymond and Gabriel stayed in the study for over an hour before emerging.By then, Raymond's expression had shifted from initial unease to radiant joy, his face brimming with smiles.It seemed the fortune teller had been right—Wren was indeed his lucky star.Despite his company's brush with bankruptcy, Gabriel not only promised to inject 70,000,000 dollars into it but also agreed to partner with them on future projects.The potential profits were enough to make it impossible for Raymond to hide his grin.Seeing his cheerful demeanor, Wren let out a breath of relief.Setting Wilhelm down from her lap, she turned to Raymond and asked, "So, you reached an agreement?""Yeap. I need to get back to the office, though. I'll have the driver pick you up later," Raymond replied."Alright. Will you be home for dinner?" Wren asked."Of course! Tonight, we'll celebrate properly," Raymond promised.After Raymond left, Wilhelm tugged on Wren's sleeve. "Grandma, when are you going to talk to

"Okay," Wilhelm answered.He accepted the bowl and took a couple of sips, then looked up at Gabriel and asked, "Daddy, where's Mommy?"Upon seeing the cautious look in Wilhelm's eyes, a complex expression crossed Gabriel's face.He crouched down to the boy's level and said gently, "Wil, from now on, you'll live with Daddy. Is that okay?"Wilhelm froze, tears welling up in his eyes. "Daddy, does that mean you don't want Mommy anymore?"Jane's words echoed in his mind—that Gabriel had a bad woman outside and didn't want them anymore.Now that his father didn't want his mother, it wouldn't be long before he didn't want him either, especially if he had a child with that bad woman.Gabriel sighed and spoke softly. "Wil, this is an adult matter that you won't understand. Daddy isn't abandoning Mommy. We're just going to live separately. But no matter what, both of us love you very much.""You're lying!" Wilhelm cried, throwing the bowl to the floor, where it shattered into pieces.H

Looking at Jane's self-righteous demeanor, Gabriel remained expressionless. His gaze was indifferent, as if she were a stranger of no consequence.His lack of reaction agitated Jane even more."Gabriel, why aren't you saying anything? Why?!" she shouted.Gabriel's voice was calm. "Because I think you're pitiful.""Pitiful?!" Jane repeated, then burst into laughter. "Do you think you're any less pitiful than I am? You abandoned your wife to be with Nyla, but has she even spared you a second glance? In the end, you and I are no different—we're both pathetic losers."Gabriel showed no visible reaction but said, "Jane, I'm not like you.""What's so different about you?" Jane demanded."I can make my own choices. You can't. Take this situation, for example—I can ensure you'll never see Wilhelm again, but there's nothing you can do to stop me," Gabriel stated.Jane froze, her laughter faltering. An overwhelming sense of unease gripped her. "What are you going to do?"Gabriel waved h

Although Wilhelm wanted more, he hesitated briefly before obediently putting down his spoon."Okay, Mommy," he said.His compliance sparked a brief flicker of guilt in Jane's eyes. But the feeling vanished as quickly as it had come, replaced by a calm determination.After settling the bill, she led Wilhelm back to the car.As soon as they were on the road, Wilhelm began squirming in his seat, scratching himself furiously. His small face scrunched in discomfort as he complained, "Mommy… I don't feel good. I'm itchy all over…"Jane glanced at him and saw red spots breaking out across his skin."Hold on, Mommy's taking you to the hospital right now," she said.She sped toward the nearest hospital, reaching it in less than ten minutes.…By the time Jane pulled into the ER, Wilhelm's face was covered in hives. He was clawing at himself, leaving red marks all over his pale skin.Jane rushed to unbuckle him and carried him inside, moving quickly toward the emergency desk.A doctor

Wilhelm thought that when Gabriel was home, Jane never hit him without a reason.But ever since his father left, his mother had become unpredictable. Sometimes, even the sound of him making noise while eating would lead to punishment, forcing him to stand in the corner.He missed the mother who would kiss him and speak to him gently. He didn't want the mother who hit him for no reason."But Daddy's out there with another woman now and won't come home," he said.Although he was young, he understood a lot of adult issues.Lately, Gabriel hadn't been around. With Jane's constant hints, Wilhelm had started to believe that Gabriel had left because of a bad woman, choosing her over their family."Mommy, when I grow up, I'll protect you. I won't let any bad woman bully you!" Wilhelm vowed.Tears welled in Jane's eyes at his words, her heart filled with a mix of emotions. Yet, her moment of hesitation lasted only a second before her resolve hardened.The only way to give Wilhelm a comp

Besides, Nyla didn't even like Gabriel. It had always been him chasing her.What was Jane supposed to do—crack open his head and make him stop liking Nyla?Wren frowned, clearly irritated. "Alright, I'm not in the mood to talk about this. Go home," she said, waving Jane off.Jane protested, "Mom, we haven't even discussed how to bring Gabriel back to me and Wilhelm. I need your help.""What do you want me to do?" Wren asked."Later, call Gabriel and tell him Wilhelm has a fever and wants to see him. Get him to come home," Jane requested.Wren hesitated. Gabriel's attitude toward her had grown increasingly cold. If he found out she was conspiring with Jane to deceive him, it could further damage their relationship.Seeing her reluctance, Jane sighed. "Mom, do you really want to watch him chase after Nyla? With the way things are between you two now, do you think Nyla will treat you kindly if they end up together?""That's impossible! Nyla doesn't like him. They won't end up to
