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.

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....
