Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Jane told the maid, "I understand. You can head back first. I'll check if Wilhelm is asleep, then I'll go over." The maid nodded. "Alright, Ms. Wilkie."

Jane went upstairs, placed the drug in her bag, changed her clothes, and headed for Pedro's residence. Knowing that Pedro was in the study, she didn't hurry to see him. Instead, she went to the kitchen.

"Grandpa loves the tea I make, so I'll brew a pot and bring it to him," she told the maids.

She prepared the tea and then personally carried it to the study.

After knocking on the door and entering, Jane was met with Pedro's cold, piercing gaze.

She paused for a moment, then walked over and set the tea on the table with a smile. "Grandpa, who upset you?"

Pedro sneered, grabbing a document and throwing it onto the table. "Take a look for yourself!"

Jane poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him. "Grandpa, please have some tea first."

Before she could finish speaking, Pedro suddenly knocked the cup from her hand.

The hot tea splashed onto Jane's hand, and a sharp pain shot through her. She quickly pulled her hand away from the cup.

As she checked her now-red hand, Pedro's cold voice echoed above her head. "Jane, take a good look at this document and see who you really married!"

Jane froze. Enduring the pain in her hand, she picked up the document and flipped it open. Her expression shifted from confusion to shock. "This... How is this possible?!" she gasped.

How could Gabriel be the hidden owner of Nyce Tech?

She had been married to him for five years, and in her eyes, he was just a man who relied on the Wilkies. How could he be the owner of a publicly listed company?!

"Grandpa... are you sure about this? If he's really the owner of Nyce Tech, why would he spend five years as a son-in-law in the Wilkies?" she asked, her voice trembling with doubt.

Pedro sneered. "I wish I were mistaken, but this document came from Damon. Do you think it'd be fake?"

"Why would Gabriel do this?" Jane asked.

"Why?" Pedro fixed her with an angry

gaze. "For the Wilkie Group, ofnoveldrama

course! The game company that was sold is now under his name. We

used the

Group's money to

buy that company, and without

paying a single cent, he took that profitable company away from us!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became.

Pedro had originally hoped to groom Jane as the future successor of the Wilkie Group. Now, he was utterly disappointed in her. "You married him, lived with him for five years, and never saw any signs. That shows just how foolish you are!" he scolded.

"You spent the most time with him. If you didn't notice, how could anyone else have?" Pedro shot back.

Facing Pedro's furious gaze, Jane felt a mix of frustration and confusion. Why was she being blamed when it was Gabriel's fault?

"Enough. Go back now. From now on, be careful around him. As for your divorce, I'll send a lawyer from the company to help. Since he's harmed the company so badly if you want a divorce, make sure he pays the price!" Pedro declared.

Jane didn't respond, her head lowered as she turned and left.

Back at the villa, Jane sat on the sofa in a daze.
