Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1098

With the lawyer's efforts, Gabriel was temporarily released on bail.

On the drive back, he turned to his secretary in the passenger seat. "How's the company doing while I was away?"

The secretary's expression grew grim. "Mr. Hackett, since news broke about your arrest, the company's stock has been plummeting. Several shareholders have already started selling off their shares to cash out."

Gabriel's face darkened as he growled, "Those old fools! They act high and mighty when things are going well, but the moment there's trouble, they rush to jump ship. A bunch of spineless idiots!"

"Some shareholders have even sold their shares at a loss..." the secretary added cautiously.

"Head to the company first!" Gabriel snapped.

He couldn't let this continue. At this rate, Nyce Tech would collapse within a month.

"Understood..." the secretary replied.

Philip, seated beside him, interjected with a frown, "Mr. Hackett, the priority right now is resolving the lawsuit Prospectus Technology has filed against you. If this isn't handled properly, you will face…"

He trailed off, but Gabriel caught his meaning.

"I don't pay you handsomely to spout nonsense!" Gabriel barked. "Your job is to win this case, not lecture me."

Philip hesitated. The evidence Prospectus Technology had submitted was damning and thorough. Unless they could prove it was falsified, there was little hope of victory.

Getting Gabriel out on bail had already been a challenge, and if he were taken back into custody, securing another release would be nearly impossible.

"Mr. Hackett, if the evidence Prospectus Technology submitted is legitimate, I recommend you start planning for the aftermath," Philip said carefully.

Gabriel's expression turned icy as he stared at Philip in silence.
