Trading My Ex for His Uncle Chapter 971
A flicker of annoyance crossed Gabriel's eyes, but his voice remained composed and gentle. "Jane, provoking Damon doesn't help us. Our focus should be on securing the project we need. Once the company's crisis is resolved, we can address everything else."Jane sneered. "If you were as capable as Damon with a company like Prospectus Technology, do you think I'd have to endure his disdain?"In her mind, Gabriel's lack of success was the root of her frustrations.Gabriel, however, seemed indifferent to her belittling remarks. His expression remained steady and unmoved. "Jane, don't get worked up. We don't want to be late for check-in or submission."With a cold huff, Jane fell silent, though she glanced at Gabriel with veiled contempt. If it weren't for Wilhelm, she would have left him for a husband more suited to her ambitions for the Wilkie Group.At the registration desk, she signed in and handed over the bidding documents.As they finished, her eyes briefly lingered on Prospectu

Prospectus Technology's folder was damaged, its seal clearly tampered with.According to the rules, any bidding documents that were not properly sealed would be automatically voided.Gasps rippled through the room."How did this happen? Did Prospectus Technology really submit an unsealed bid? That's a rookie mistake for a company like them. Surely their team knows better.""Or maybe they were trying to cheat—peek at the lowest bids and adjust theirs. Looks like they botched it.""Whatever the reason, it's against the rules. Prospectus Technology is definitely out of the running now.""This is great news! With Prospectus Technology out, our chances of winning just went up."The crowd's murmurs ranged from confusion to gloating.Onstage, Waylon followed protocol and addressed the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, the bid submitted by Prospectus Technology has been found improperly sealed. As per the regulations, the submission is disqualified."If Prospectus Technology wishes to cont

The Wilkie Group's bid price had already been slashed to the bone. Lowering it further would mean winning the project at a loss.Jane dialed Pedro's number and quietly explained the situation.After a brief silence, Pedro said firmly, "This is the lowest we can go. Don't drop the price any further. A project that loses money isn't worth taking on.""Understood," she replied, though her expression darkened once she hung up.She had spent over a month leading her team through grueling overtime to prepare for this bid. Before arriving that day, she'd promised them bonuses and a celebratory dinner if they won.Now, the odds didn't look good.She sighed in disappointment at the thought.Beside her, Gabriel noticed her mood and spoke gently to comfort her. "Don't worry, Jane. Just because those companies underbid the Wilkie Group doesn't mean they'll win. The Wilkie Group's reputation is much stronger than theirs."The lower bids came from smaller companies, desperate for the project

Jane thought this project would silence the board members who had criticized her since the Starlite Enterprise debacle and restore her standing with Pedro.Buoyed by euphoria, she stood up, her smile radiant as she addressed the crowd. "We at the Wilkie Group are honored to be selected. As always, we are committed to quality and integrity, and we promise to deliver this project with the utmost efficiency and excellence—"A chilling voice cut her off. "Ms. Wilkie, bribing staff to sabotage a competitor's bid in order to secure a win—do you really think your company deserves to claim integrity?"All heads turned to see Damon stride into the room, his face unreadable, his sharp gaze fixed on Jane.His stare's intensity made her skin crawl, and she felt her face go pale.Gritting her teeth, she retorted, "Mr. Sumner, your bid was disqualified due to an unsealed envelope. Now that the Wilkie Group has won, you're jealous and trying to smear my name? That's a bit much, don't you think?"

Damon didn't waste words on Jane. Instead, he gave a subtle nod to the staff member trailing behind him.The staff member walked up to the stage and plugged a USB drive into the nearby laptop.Moments later, a video began playing on the big screen.In the blind spot of the surveillance cameras, Jane was seen handing a bank card to a staff member in uniform."There's 30,000 dollars on this card. Go open Prospectus Technology's bidding file. Once you're done, I'll transfer another 30,000 dollars," she said.The staff member hesitated for a moment, then took the card."Fine. But if you don't keep your word, I'll expose what you've made me do," he replied, turning to walk away.As the video played, Jane's face drained of color.She shook her head in disbelief, muttering, "No… No way! This can't be real. That was a blind spot for the cameras—how could there be footage?"Damon's gaze was cold as he said, "The surveillance speaks for itself, Ms. Wilkie. Denying it now is pointless. T

Years ago, one of Bernard's subordinates made an offhand comment about him, and Bernard retaliated with workplace bullying that pushed the employee to the brink of suicide.Although the matter had been quietly suppressed, it was no secret within the industry. Given Bernard's personality, it was unlikely he would let Nyla's words slide.Gabriel began formulating a plan.Meanwhile, Jane glared at Nyla, snapping, "Don't think I'll thank you for defending me!""You're mistaken," Nyla retorted coolly. "I didn't speak up for you. I spoke up because I can't stand people using this incident to slander all women. This has nothing to do with you."Had Bernard not been so misogynistic over Jane's actions, Nyla wouldn't have said a word.Jane gritted her teeth and shifted her pleading gaze back to Damon. "Mr. Sumner, I know I made a mistake. Please, give me another chance. I swear it won't happen again."Damon replied coldly, "You're not sorry for what you did. You're sorry you got caught.

"You don't need to worry about me. You should start worrying about yourself," Gabriel countered.Initially, he had planned to keep playing along with Jane for a while longer. But since she was going to treat him like this, he didn't mind tearing off the mask right now.Without a moment's hesitation, he turned to leave."Gabriel, stop right there! If you dare leave now, we're getting a divorce!" Jane threatened.His steps faltered, and he turned back to look at her.Jane jutted her chin out, as if thinking she had him cornered. "If you apologize to me now, I'll forgive you.""Fine. Let's get divorced," Gabriel replied.Jane's eyes widened in disbelief. She gritted her teeth. "What did you say? Say that again!""I said, let's get divorced," Gabriel repeated, his tone calm.He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.Had Nyla not come back alive, he might have stayed in the marriage for the sake of their child.But now? He wasn't going to waste any more of his time."

Pedro's furious tone left Jane trembling. Her voice quavered as she tried to explain, "Grandpa... I didn't mean to. I was only trying to secure the bid for the company.""For the company?" Pedro spat."That's how you help the company? How did I raise such a failure?! Even Theo is better than you!"Pack your things and get out of the company! From now on, you have no right to interfere in the company's affairs!" he shouted.He hung up before Jane could respond.The phone slipped from Jane's hand as she stood frozen, her mind blank.The double blow of losing both her position and her marriage hit her like a freight train. Her legs buckled, and she collapsed to the floor, sobbing into her hands.How had everything spiraled so out of control?Not long ago, she had been the general manager of the Wilkie Group—a position that others envied.Now? Her husband wanted a divorce, and her role at the company had been stripped away.The more she thought about it, the more devastated she b

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
