The more Pedro thought about it, the more disappointed he became.
Seeing the disappointment on his face, the butler deduced that the tea had indeed been tampered with.
"Mr. Wilkie... what do we do about this?" he asked.
Pedro took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Pretend you know nothing. Don't tell anyone."
"Understood," the butler replied.
…
Jane thought no one knew about the drug she had slipped into Pedro's tea. After getting home, she poured the tea out and smashed the teapot into the trash.
Once everything was handled, she let out a sigh of relief, sat back down on the sofa, and began to reflect on her situation with Gabriel.
She hadn't considered divorce before. Now that she knew he was Nyce Tech's owner, divorce was out of the question.
As long as she remained Gabriel's wife, she would still have a claim to half of Nyce Tech. If they divorced, she would have nothing.
She had been married to Gabriel for five years and even had a child with him. For him to try to pay her off with a few million and take their son away was simply unacceptable.
The next morning…
Jane went straight to Nyce Tech to find Gabriel.
As soon as she entered the lobby, the receptionist stopped her. "Hello, Miss. May I ask who you're here to see? Do you have an appointment?"
Jane's demeanor was arrogant as she coldly replied, "I'm here to see Gabriel Hackett."
The receptionist paused, then checked and found no one by that name. "Miss, we don't have an employee named Gabriel Hackett. I think you've come to the wrong place."
"You don't even know your own boss' name? How are you working as a receptionist?" Jane snapped.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
