Trading My Ex for His Uncle Chapter 989
Pedro slammed the table in frustration. "Everything he has comes from the Wilkies! What right does he have to be angry? A grown man relying on his wife to live—what a disgrace if word gets out!"Seeing Pedro's reaction was exactly what she had expected, Jane quickly added, "Grandpa, I need to discuss the divorce with him first. Once that's settled, I can leave the country.""What's there to discuss? Call him right now and tell him to come over!" Pedro snapped.Jane's expression faltered as she replied, "He moved out a few days ago. Even if I call, he probably won't answer...""Call him!" Pedro insisted.She sighed in defeat, pulled out her phone, and dialed Gabriel's number. She tried several times, but he didn't pick up.Setting the phone down, she looked at Pedro. "Grandpa, he's ignoring my calls.""I'll have someone track him down and drag him here," Pedro growled.Seeing that Pedro was about to take action, Jane quickly intervened, "Grandpa, please don't get involved.

"Why don't you investigate who ended up with that gaming company?" Gabriel retorted.There was a brief silence before Tom chuckled.When the Wilkie Group partnered with Starlite Enterprise, they handed over hundreds of millions to the latter. Then, to salvage their cash flow crisis, they sold Gabriel's gaming company, using the proceeds to patch up their financial hole.In essence, Gabriel had contributed nothing yet walked away with a gaming company.Meanwhile, the Wilkie Group lost everything—the gaming company, the money, and now even the stability of its headquarters. The company was on the brink of collapse."I have to say, Mr. Hackett, your maneuvering is impressive. You've played the Wilkies like a fiddle."I wonder, though, how Jane would feel if she realized she spent billions of the Wilkie Group's funds just to gift you her gaming company? Do you think she'd be furious?" Tom quipped.Gabriel's gaze turned cold. "And how does any of this relate to our partnership?""Of

Tom gritted his teeth so hard he thought they might shatter, but he still managed to force a smile."You're right, Mr. Hackett," he said.…By the time their discussion had finished, it was already past 10:00 p.m.Gabriel had other matters to attend to and left first.Tom stayed in the private room for a while before stepping out.As he exited Violet Carriage, he saw Valarie and Brandon walking out of a nearby restaurant. They had just finished dinner, casually holding hands and both smiling.Valarie's gaze was almost entirely fixed on Brandon, not sparing a glance for anyone else.Her eyes, once filled with affection when she looked at Tom, now brimmed with disdain and impatience. She didn't even want to speak to him.A wave of emptiness washed over Tom, and he stood there, watching them walk away.Soon enough, when Prospectus Technology fell and the Sumner Group collapsed, Brandon would no longer be a threat to him over Valarie.Tom took a deep breath, turned, and headed f

Philip shook his head. "Ms. Wilkie, I have other matters to attend to. If you need a lawyer, I can refer one to you.""Fine. Let's see if you'll get your lawyer's fee after this," Jane shot back.Without another word, Philip walked past her and left.Fuming, Jane grabbed the divorce papers and prepared to tear them up again.As her hand hovered over the papers, though, she paused.She took a deep breath and read the contents. After that, she tossed them straight into the trash.Gabriel had truly lost his mind—he was offering her 10,000,000 dollars as compensation for the divorce.He had worked at a game company under the Wilkie Group for years, earning only a few thousand each month. Where could he possibly get 10,000,000 dollars?Jane picked up her phone and called her assistant. "Find out where Gabriel is now!"She expected a quick response, but after an entire day, the assistant still hadn't located him.Jane lost her temper. "What kind of job do you do? You can't even fin

"No need. Tell Jane that if she refuses to sign the divorce papers, I will never see her again," Gabriel said before hanging up the phone.When Wren called again, he didn't pick up.She slammed her phone down, her mind boiling with rage.If it weren't for Nyla's return, Gabriel wouldn't have wanted to divorce Jane. It was all Nyla's fault.The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She immediately drove to Prospectus Technology to confront Nyla....When the receptionist informed Nyla that someone was looking for her, Nyla was confused. If it had been someone she knew, they would have called first. No one came unannounced."Did she say who she is?" Nyla asked.The receptionist shook her head. "No, but she insisted on seeing you. She seems to be someone you know.""Alright, tell her to wait a moment," Nyla replied.After the receptionist left, Nyla finished inputting the data for her experiment, removed her lab coat, and headed downstairs.As she stepped out of th

When Wren saw Gabriel, she was momentarily stunned, then sneered. "So, you won't come to see me, but you rush here when it's Nyla? Does she matter more than your own mother?"Gabriel didn't waste time arguing. He dragged her toward the car and told the driver to leave immediately. If she stayed there, who knew what other mess she'd create.In the car, Wren shoved his hand away and was about to open the door.Gabriel's cold voice stopped her. "If you jump out at this speed, you'll either die or be paralyzed."Wren froze, then turned to glare at him. "What do you want? You're throwing away your family for Nyla?""This is none of your business," he replied.Wren scoffed. "None of my business? Gabriel, do you really think Nyla will be with you just because you divorce Jane? I advise you to wake up. She didn't care about you five years ago. Do you really think she'll care now?"Gabriel's anger flared. His cold eyes bore into hers, and the temperature in the car seemed to drop.Wren

"Do you even believe what you're saying?" Wren demanded.If it weren't for Nyla's return to the country, Gabriel would never have asked Jane for a divorce. It was all Nyla's fault. If only Nyla had died when she fell into the sea five years ago…Gabriel stared at Wren, his expression unreadable. "Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter to me. You should mind your own business and stop interfering with mine.""Gabriel, are you really trying to drive me crazy?" Wren snapped."I'm not trying to upset you, and I haven't done anything to hurt you. It's you who keeps meddling in my affairs. I don't listen, so you get angry. You should reflect on whether it's right for you to interfere with my life," Gabriel replied flatly.Wren felt a wave of disappointment as she met Gabriel's cold gaze. "Gabriel, I worked so hard to send you abroad for school, not for you to come back and make me miserable!""If you just stayed out of my business, you'd have fewer problems," Gabriel retorted."

There was silence on the other end of the line before Gabriel's deep voice came through. "Mr. Sumner, Nyla probably doesn't want to see my mother.""And you think she wants to see you?" Damon shot back."Mr. Sumner, just because she doesn't want to see me now doesn't mean she won't in the future," Gabriel retorted. "It's like how you're with her now. It doesn't mean you'll always be together, right? Don't you agree?"Damon's gaze sharpened, his expression cold."Gabriel, let me warn you. Don't even think about anything inappropriate with her. If you do, don't think you're safe just because you're the CEO of Nyce Tech. Even if you're the richest person in the country, I'll make sure you have nothing," Damon warned."Mr. Sumner, you talk big. I'll be watching closely to see how you make me lose everything!" Gabriel replied, then hung up.Damon set his phone down, his face darkening.It seemed Gabriel was ready to leave Saintornia for good....That evening, as Nyla got into the

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
