Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Andrew and Ruth stared at Jane, their faces full of disbelief.

Andrew was the first to speak. "Jane, is what Theo said true? Did you really sell the Wilkie Group's shares to Prospectus Technology?"

Jane bit her lip, her face tense and silent.

Her silence confirmed their worst fears.

Andrew's expression darkened, anger flashing across his face as he leered at her. "Are you out of your mind? Why would you sell the shares to Prospectus Technology?!"

Ruth's eyes reddened, and she turned away, avoiding Jane entirely.

Although Ruth often criticized Pedro's methods, she had always sided with Andrew when it came to major decisions, especially regarding company shares.

Pedro glared at Jane coldly. "I'll give you three days to get those shares back. If you can't, you're no longer part of this family. I'll disown you!"

Andrew was appalled. He quickly spoke up. "Dad, this matter-"

"Shut up!" Pedro interrupted sharply. "You can't manage the company, and you can't even raise your daughter properly-what good are you? If you dare to plead for her, I'll kick you out of the family too. And I mean it!"

Andrew's face tightened, and he kept quiet, unwilling to say another word.

Jane looked up at Pedro and let out a cold laugh. "The shares are already sold. I sold them to Damon for 7,000,000 dollars. Even if you offered double that now, he wouldn't sell them back."

"What?!" Pedro roared. "You sold the shares for only 7,000,000 dollars? You... ungrateful wretch!"

His anger surged as he raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face.

The force of the blow made him stagger backward. If Theo hadn't quickly steadied him, he might have fallen.

The slap knocked Jane's head to the side, and she almost fell out of her wheelchair.

She slowly raised her head, her

expression emotionless as she met Pedro's gaze. "If I hadn't sold the shares to Damon, I probably wouldn't have even gotten 7,000,000 dollars. After all, Grandpa, you and Theo were planning to take the shares from me for nothing."

"You!" Pedro gasped, furious, nearly losing consciousness.

Ten percent of the company's shares! Jane sold them to Damon for only 7,000,000 dollars!noveldrama

Pointing at Jane, he roared, "From this moment on, you are no longer my granddaughter. The Wilkies have nothing to do with you!"

With that, Pedro stormed out.

Theo shot Jane a cold, malevolent glance.

"Jane, you really know how to stir up trouble. If the Wilkie Group runs into problems because of the 10% you sold, I swear I won't let you off!" He

left those icy words hanging in the air before turning to follow Pedro.

Soon, only Jane and her parents remained in the living room. Andrew turned to Ruth and snapped, "This is the good daughter you spoiled!"

Ruth frowned. "Spoiled? You didn't? Was it just me?

"Besides, those shares were hers to begin with. When your father and Theo tried to take them from her for nothing, you didn't say a word. And now that she sold them, you're blaming me?

"If your father and Theo had been willing to offer her 7,000,000 dollars back then, the shares wouldn't have ended up with Damon. This is all because of their greed! Serves them right!"

Andrew's face twisted with rage, and he raised his hand, slapping her hard.

The sharp sound of the slap echoed through the living room, plunging it into an oppressive silence.

Upon realizing what he had done, Andrew's expression softened with regret. "I—"

"Oh, so now you dare hit me, huh?" Ruth's voice trembled with fury.

"Ever since married you, I haven't had a single good day. And now,

over something that's clearly net

father and Theo's fault, you hit me? I've had enough. I want a divorce!"
