Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 981

Jane turned to glare at Theo, who stood off to the side, clearly enjoying the scene. Her eyes were filled with disdain.

"Theo, don't think for a second that you've won. You know exactly how incompetent you are. There's no way the Wilkie Group will ever fall into your hands!" she hissed.

Theo's expression darkened briefly, then he chuckled. "Oh, you're capable, all right. So capable that partnering with Starlite nearly bankrupted the company, and those cheap tricks with Prospectus Technology landed you in jail. Not many people can boast that kind of talent."

Jane struggled to her feet, her face icy. "Once the Starlite project is completed, all those losses will be nothing. When that happens, the position of general manager will still be mine!"

Theo snorted. "Still dreaming, I see. The shareholders have made it crystal clear—they don't want you anywhere near the company. By the time the Starlite project wraps up, you'll have been completely sidelined.

"My advice? Take the monthly allowance Grandpa offered, stay home, and live the cushy life of a trophy wife. Leave the company out of your mess."

"Shut up! You have no right to say that!" Jane screamed.

"Fine. Let's see who ends up with no right to speak." With that, Theo brushed past her and walked off.

Jane's eyes burned with anger, her heart seething with resentment.

She hated how, despite all her sleepless nights and tireless work for the Wilkie Group, she was now being cast aside like trash. She hated Pedro for turning against her and siding with the shareholders who demanded her removal.

When she finally limped back to her villa, Wendy gasped and rushed to support her. "Ms. Wilkie, what happened to your leg?"

"I'm fine. Where's Gabriel?" Jane asked.

She'd been locked up for two days, and Gabriel hadn't even shown up. So much for the man she'd chosen so carefully.

Wendy sighed. "He's been working overtime these past two days. He only comes back late at night."
