Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Chapter 846





Pedro was getting old, but none of his children or grandchildren seemed ready to take over. If things continued like this, the Wilkie Group would soon need to change its name.

At that thought, a wave of sorrow washed over him.

Among his grandchildren, Jane stood out as one of the more capable, but she still lacked the skills to manage the Wilkie Group.

Gabriel was competent enough to turn around a gaming company that had been losing money for years, which proved he had some skill. However, he was still not a Wilkie, and Pedro didn't fully trust him.

It seemed Pedro would have to find a way to train Theo. If Theo didn't work out, he would have to hand the company over to Jane in the future.

Unaware of Pedro's thoughts, Jane returned to her villa, looking dejected.

"Jane, why do you look so upset? Did Grandpa disagree?" Gabriel asked.

Jane weakly nodded. "Yeah, he thinks half a billion dollars is too much."

Before meeting with Pedro, she had already suspected the outcome. She had just thought it was worth trying after putting in so much effort. Gabriel pulled her into a loving embrace and comforted her. "Don't be upset. There will definitely be better projects in the future."

"But... I don't feel like giving up just like that..." Jane mumbled.

Gabriel patted her back, whispering reassuringly, "Right now, the shares are in Grandpa's hands, so we have to listen to him. If there's any news from Starlite Enterprise in the future, I'll let you know."

Suddenly, Jane had an idea. She pulled back from Gabriel's embrace and looked up at him. "Gabriel, your gaming company should be able to free up quite a bit of money, right?"

Gabriel frowned, looking troubled. "I could probably free up some hundreds of millions, but that money belongs to the company, not us. I wouldn't agree to take it out."

Jane's expression hardened due to his refusal. "If you don't want to, then forget it. I was just asking."

There was a flicker in Gabriel's eyes before he nodded. "You've had a long day. You must be tired. Let me draw you a bath so you can wash and rest well for tomorrow."

Jane nodded. "Okay."

After Gabriel left, Jane lowered her gaze, a glint in her eyes as she pondered something.

The next morning, Nyla opened her eyes to see a handsome face

looming close. She blinked in

surprise before recalling that Damon had slept in her room the night before.

She stared at his face, and as she did, she smiled involuntarily. Just as she was about to reach out to touch his thick eyebrows, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Nyla froze, her hand stopping just a few centimeters from his brow. Realizing what she was doing, she quickly pulled her hand back. "Good... morning..." she murmured.

Damon smirked, his voice laced with amusement. "Nyla, were you trying to touch my face just now?"

Nyla feigned calmness. "No, I just saw a hair on your face and wanted to help you brush it off."

"Is that so?" Damon asked.

Meeting his teasing gaze, Nyla quickly averted her eyes and answered, "Yes, and it's getting late. We should get up."

As soon as she finished speaking, he grabbed her hand. Before she knew it, he placed her hand against his face.

"Feel free to touch," Damon offered.

Nyla was about to pull her hand back when a knock sounded at the door. A maid informed her, "Ms. Kinsey, Ms. Weir is here."noveldrama

Nyla was surprised. Why would Valarie come to see her so early?

She replied, "Okay, I understand. Tell her to wait for me downstairs for ten minutes."

After the maid left, Nyla turned back to find Damon still holding her hand, and her face involuntarily flushed. She asked, "Let go quickly, I need to get up."
