Trading My Ex for His Uncle



"Understood. As for Ms. Wilkie..." Shane inquired.

"Go ahead with the signing as usual," Gabriel replied.

"Got it," Shane answered.

After ending the call, Gabriel's expression turned icy.

If Nyla had never returned, he might have spent the rest of his life with Jane for Wilhelm's sake. But now that Nyla was back, Jane had become nothing more than an obstacle-one that needed to be removed.

As for Wilhelm, Gabriel was confident he would quickly accept Nyla as his new mother.

When Gabriel's secretary entered after a knock, he couldn't help but comment on the rare sight of Gabriel's smile, "Mr. Hackett, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Gabriel, known for his stoic demeanor and unapproachable aura, rarely displayed his emotions openly.

"Not bad," he replied casually.

"These are the quarterly financial reports for the company. Please review them when you have time," the secretary said, handing him a file.

Gabriel accepted it with a nod. "Alright. You can go."

After the secretary left, he flipped through the report.

The company's value was steadily increasing, with no issues of concern. Satisfied, he set the file aside and turned his attention to other documents requiring his signature.

Just then, his phone rang again.noveldrama

The number was unfamiliar.

Few people had access to his private line, which piqued his curiosity.

Setting the papers down, he picked up. "Who's calling?"

A calm, steady voice responded. "Mr. Hackett, this is Tom Genge. Do you have time to meet? I'd like to discuss a business opportunity."

Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Genge, as far as I know, the Genge Group doesn't operate in the gaming industry. If you're looking to collaborate with the Wilkie Group, I can provide my wife's contact information."

A quiet chuckle came from the other end. Then, Tom asked, "Aren't you worried I might tell your wife that you still have feelings for Nyla?"

Gabriel's expression darkened instantly. After a pause, his tone grew icy. "Mr. Genge, I'd advise you not to make baseless accusations."

"Would you like me to send over

evidence of you gathering

information on the Wilkie Group to prove my point?" Tom's voice

remained calm, almost amusi

though he were discussing

as

something trivial.

Gabriel's grip on the phone tightened, his aura sharp and dangerous.

"Where?" he asked tersely.

Tom chuckled and provided an address.

An hour later...

Gabriel entered a private room at the designated location.

Inside, Tom sat alone, greeting him with a faint smile, "Mr. Hackett, you're late."

Ignoring the comment, Gabriel sat down coldly across from him.

"What do you want?" he asked bluntly.

Tom's smile widened. "I want Prospectus Technology, and you want Nyla. I believe we can work together."

Gabriel scoffed. "Why would I partner with you? Don't think for a second I don't have evidence of your crimes, Mr. Genge."

Threats were something Gabriel wouldn't tolerate.

Yet, Tom remained unfazed, his grin

unwavering. Mutual destruction wouldn't benefit either of us.

Besides, even if you take over the Wilkie Group, it won't be easy to take Nyla away from Damon. If we join forces, however, it'll be much simpler. Why not take the win-win route?"

His tone was calm but calculated, as though he had already accounted for every possible outcome.

If Gabriel agreed, all the better. If not, Tom would ruin him first and then deal with Damon. Either way, Tom intended to come out on top.

Gabriel's expression hardened as he weighed the options.

After a long, tense silence, he finally said coldly, "Fine. I'm in."
