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

Chapter 972

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

Chapter 976

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 had been waiting for two days at the police station before the Wilkie Group's lawyer finally arrived."Why are you just getting here? Do you have any idea I've been locked up for two whole days?" Jane demanded, looking haggard, frustration evident on her face."Ms. Wilkie, your actions have caused significant damage to the company's reputation. Over the past two days, the shareholders have been scrambling to manage the PR fallout, which delayed my visit."Once I finish filing the bail paperwork, you'll be released. However, the shareholders have unanimously decided that you must issue a public apology to Prospectus Technology and resign as general manager of the company," the lawyer explained.Jane's eyes widened in disbelief. She had endured two agonizing days in custody, only to hear this?"I won't resign! I want to speak with my grandfather!" she cried."I'm here on your grandfather's behalf. He has agreed that you must step down," the lawyer replied.Jane froze for a mo

Chapter 980

At least stupidity was better than scheming.Theo stammered through his thoughts on the documents, but Pedro's frown deepened with every word."Did I say something wrong, Grandpa?" Theo asked nervously, sensing his disappointment.If he didn't seize this opportunity, he knew he'd have no future with the Wilkie Group.Pedro sighed heavily. "Compared to Jane, you're far behind."The words stung, and Theo's face reddened with shame.Growing up, he had always been overshadowed by Jane, despite being the eldest grandson. Even now, after her major mistakes, their grandfather still found him lacking.Swallowing his pride, Theo lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'll work harder."Pedro waved him off impatiently. "Go study more. If your performance doesn't improve next time, you won't need to bother with the company."With Theo's current capabilities, he would ruin their family's businesses within two years."Alright," Theo muttered before leaving the room.Once he was gone, Ped
