Semua Bab Your Uncle’s My Husband Now—Back Off, Ex!: Bab 1041 - Bab 1050

Theo's expression froze. If he had been willing to pay for the shares she held, he wouldn't have sought her out in the first place."Jane, don't push your luck. Don't forget, Grandpa gave you 10% of the Wilkie Group's shares because he wanted you to divorce Gabriel. You didn't lift a finger, so why should you keep those shares?!" he snapped.Jane raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Why? You just said it yourself. The 10% shares were my compensation for divorcing Gabriel. So why should I hand them over just because you're shameless?""You—" Theo's face darkened.Pointing a finger at her, he spoke coldly. "Don't forget, the Wilkies will still provide you a monthly allowance once you go abroad. If you cross me now, don't expect to see a single penny from us!""Fine, then I won't take it! And don't think you can take advantage of me!" she shot back.He wanted her shares without offering anything in return—his audacity was unmatched."Fine. Don't regret it!" Theo stormed out, slamming the

"If I don't take him with me, should I just watch him fend for himself?" Jane defended.Ruth sighed. Wilhelm was her grandson, and she naturally wanted what was best for him. But that shouldn't come at the cost of sacrificing her daughter's happiness for the rest of her life."I'm not saying that, but if you want to take him abroad, I absolutely disagree. If it's unavoidable, then leave him here. Your father and I will take care of him," she said.Jane immediately refused. "No, I've already arranged for his travel documents. We're flying out together tomorrow morning. I won't leave him here."Once Pedro and Theo found out she had sold the shares of the Wilkie Group to Damon, they would be furious.By the time that happened, she wouldn't be in the country, and Wilhelm would just become the target of their anger.As for her parents, they were Pedro's son and daughter-in-law. He wouldn't mistreat them, and Theo wouldn't dare to, either.Ruth's anger flared. "Why don't you ever list

Andrew frowned. "Are you crazy?""Yes, I'm crazy! I want a divorce!" Ruth yelled.Andrew's hands clenched into fists."Our child is still here, and you're spouting nonsense. Aren't you ashamed? I'm not going to argue with you," he said coldly.Without waiting for a response, he turned and strode toward the study.Ruth stayed on the sofa, tears streaming down her face. She didn't follow him.Watching her mother's distress, Jane felt a pang of guilt."Mom, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, Dad wouldn't have lost his temper," she said, her voice soft with regret.In Jane's memory, her parents had always been close and rarely quarreled, especially in her presence. For her father to lash out like this, he must have been pushed to his limits.Ruth wiped her tears and looked at Jane, her expression softening. "Jane, I was furious when Theo told us you sold the shares to Damon. I couldn't understand why you'd sell them to an outsider."But now, I've thought it through. If you hadn't s

The once-bustling top floor of Nyce Tech was eerily quiet. Only a few secretaries remained at their desks.Gabriel approached one of them with a scowl. "Where is everyone?"The secretaries froze at the sound of Gabriel's voice.After a brief moment, one of them looked up, confirming it was him, and quickly stood. "Good afternoon, Mr. Hackett.""I asked you a question," Gabriel repeated, his tone sharp. "Where is everyone else? Why is it so empty here?"The secretary stammered, "T-They've all resigned..."She didn't dare mention that she and the others still present were planning to quit as soon as their work was handed off.Gabriel's expression darkened. "Notify all shareholders to meet me in the conference room in 30 minutes.""Y-Yes, sir..." The secretary hurried off.Back in his office, Gabriel stared at the pile of untouched documents on his desk, his frustration mounting.A bunch of useless slackers! They hadn't even tried to delegate tasks to other shareholders in his a

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Nyla replied in a disappointed voice, "Alright. Just make sure you eat something. I'll call Spencer later to check if you've eaten. Don't skip meals and upset your stomach.""Alright. I'll send you a picture when I eat," Damon replied."Make it a video call instead—how do I know you're not lying to me otherwise?" Nyla challenged.Damon chuckled helplessly. "Fine. I'll call you when I eat.""Okay. I won't bother you anymore. Get back to work," Nyla said.After hanging up, Nyla went to the kitchen and told Lydia to prepare fewer dishes for dinner since Damon wouldn't be home.Lydia nodded. "Got it, Ms. Kinsey. I'll skip the fish and greens.""Perfect," Nyla agreed.Back in the living room, Mason was busy putting his toys into a storage box.Nyla crouched down to help. "Buddy, why aren't you playing anymore?""I'm sleepy, Mommy. I want to take a nap," Mason said.Seeing his drowsy eyes, Nyla replied, "Alright. Let's fi
