Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 984

Jane's expression changed as she angrily asked, "Do you really think I'd stoop that low?"

"You've already beaten our son to the point of bruises just to get me back here. What wouldn't you do?" Gabriel retorted.

"You!" Jane gritted her teeth and scoffed. "Fine. If that's what you think, then believe it. But I won't agree to the divorce. Get over it."

Gabriel repeated, "I told you, you'll agree soon enough."

With that, he turned and walked out.

"Stop right there!" Jane rushed forward to block him, but her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the screen and saw it was Pedro. Her expression changed.

After a moment of hesitation, she answered. "Grandpa, what— What?! I'll come right away!"

Hanging up, she turned pale, her hand trembling as it gripped the phone.

Jane took a deep breath to steady herself and hurried upstairs to change before rushing to the Wilkie residence.

The moment Jane entered Pedro's study, a slap landed across her face.

The impact left her stunned. She only realized how much it hurt when her cheek began to burn. She raised a hand to touch it, disbelief in her eyes.

"Grandpa..." she whispered.

"Don't call me that! I have no such foolish granddaughter!" Pedro snapped. "Our company is on the brink of collapse because of you!"

His face was dark, his glare so intense it seemed he might strangle her right then.

Theo smirked, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "You're right, I can't do much. But at least I've never nearly bankrupted the company with my stupidity."

"You!" Jane gritted her teeth, trembling with anger.

She took a deep breath and turned back to Pedro. "Grandpa, let me call Mr. Tonra and ask what's going on."

She called Shane multiple times, but the attempts all went unanswered. Her complexion slowly drained of color.

Theo snickered. "Jane, stop wasting time. Mr. Tonra fled the country last night, and you're still thinking of looking for him?"

Panic and fear flooded Jane, and her hand holding the phone went limp. "Grandpa, this is my fault, but—"

"Enough!" Pedro cut her off. "This afternoon, the Wilkie Group will hold a press conference. You will apologize to Prospectus Technology, resign as general manager, and never involve yourself with the Wilkie Group again."
