Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Jane's words were met with Pedro's cold stare, causing her to stiffen. "Grandpa, don't tell me you're actually considering this!"

"That gaming company generates hundreds of millions in profit every year," Pedro said pointedly.

"So what? You're willing to force me into a divorce for the sake of a company?" Jane questioned.

"Jane, recovering that company would stabilize the Wilkie Group's finances. And let's face it, there's no love left between you two. Dragging this out serves no purpose," Pedro replied.

Jane laughed bitterly. "Grandpa, you've said it all, haven't you? What more can I say? But don't forget-Gabriel has Nyce Tech. If I divorce him, we lose half of Nyce Tech."

Pedro shook his head at her naivety. "Nyce Tech was established before your marriage. Even if some of its profits were earned after, he's had plenty of time to hide assets. You won't get a dime."

The fact that Gabriel had been able to remain so low-profile within the Wilkies for years proved how difficult it would be to trace any hidden assets. He might be wealthy, but Jane had no claim to any of it.

"But we're married. If I can prove he's transferred assets, I can claim those profits. Five years of Nyce Tech's earnings-do you really think a gaming company compares?" Jane insisted.

"He won't give you the chance to find that proof," Pedro said bluntly. "All I care about is retrieving the gaming company. If you agree to the divorce, I'll transfer 10% of the Wilkie Group's shares to you."

Jane had once seen 10% of the Wilkie Group as a tempting offer, but now it seemed insignificant.

"Grandpa, 10% of the Wilkie Group versus half of Nyce Tech? I'll take the latter," she stated.

Pedro studied her for a long moment before speaking slowly. "What you can hold onto is what truly matters. Go home and think it over. I expect your answer in a few days."

"I don't need a few days. I can answer now. I refuse to divorce him," Jane said firmly.

Pedro's face grew colder due to her stubbornness. "You don't have a

Take the 10% and divorce him, or get nothing-and still divorce him. The decision is yours."

Jane clenched the armrests of her wheelchair, her face contorted with rage. "Grandpa, you're forcing me! You're not giving me a real choice!"

"Choices are for those with leverage. You have none. Do you really think you're in a position to negotiate?" Pedro challenged.

His words hit her like a bucket of ice water, dousing any remaining resistance.

He was right. She had no leverage. Whether it was Gabriel or Pedro, both had the power to force her hand.

now, I'm focused on saving the company. Your foolishness brought us to this point. You have only yourself to blame."

Taking a deep breath, Jane extended her hand. "Fine. I want the shares first."

Pedro wasted no time, summoning a lawyer to draft the share transfer agreement.

Within hours, the documents were signed and sealed.
