Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex Novel

Chapter 928 Jane had been waiting for two days at the police station before the Wilkie Group's lawyer finally arrived. "Why are you just getting here? Do you have any idea I've been locked up for two whole days?" Jane demanded, looking haggard, frustration evident on her face. "Ms. Wilkie, your actions have caused significant damage to the company's reputation. Over the past two days, the shareholders have been scrambling to manage the PR fallout, which delayed my visit. "Once I finish filing the bail paperwork, you'll be released.

However, the shareholders have unanimously decided that you must issue a public apology to Prospectus Technology and resign as general manager of the company," the lawyer explained. Jane's eyes widened in disbelief. She had endured two agonizing days in custody, only to hear this? "I won't resign! I want to speak with my grandfather!" she cried. "I'm here on your grandfather's behalf. He has agreed that you must step down," the lawyer replied. Jane froze for a moment, then shook her head violently. "No! I don't believe it!

Grandpa wouldn't do this to me!" Her agitation was palpable, and her gaze at the lawyer was filled with anger and disbelief. "Ms. Wilkie, if you don't believe me, feel free to confirm it with your grandfather after you're released. Now, let me handle the bail paperwork," the lawyer said calmly. Half an hour later, Jane walked out of the police station, following the lawyer. Her first stop was the Wilkie residence to find Pedro. As soon as she reached the gate, a maid stopped her. "Ms. Wilkie, Mr. Wilkie is still furious and doesn't want to see you.

Perhaps you should come back in a few days." Pedro had been at his angriest when he had previously threatened to sever all ties with Jane. Although he hadn't brought it up again, the atmosphere at the Wilkie residence had become stifling. The service staff were wary of even speaking out of turn, afraid of provoking his wrath. "Tell him I'll wait here until he's ready to see me," Jane said firmly. The maid hesitated, sighing. "Ms. Wilkie, you're only making things harder on yourself-" "Just do as I say!" Jane snapped, her tone sharp and unyielding.

Reluctantly, the maid went inside to relay the message. Pedro slammed his hand on the table when he heard the news, his face twisted with rage. "Let her wait then! Pretend she doesn't exist!" When the Starlite Enterprise project ran into trouble, Pedro had four met keep Jane in the general manager position despite growing opposition. And how had she repaid him? By causing a scandal that humiliated him in front of the entire industry. The hypocrites on the Wilkie Group's board were polite to his face, but he knew they were all laughing at him behind his back.

The more Pedro thought about it, the angrier he became. How could he have been so blind as to think Jane was fit to inherit the company? Theo, observing Pedro's fury, cautiously handed him a cup of tea and coaxed, "Grandpa, don't let this upset you so much it's not worth harming your health over this." Pedro took the cup and asked, "How are the documents I gave you coming along?" Theo had never been particularly skilled in business, which was why Pedro had chosen to groom Jane. Despite Jane's undeniable talent, she often resorted to underhanded tactics.

Normally, smaller companies that suffered losses wouldn't dare challenge the Wilkie Group. However, Jane had taken on Prospectus Technology this time-a company that cared little about the background or power of those they faced. Now, seeing the disastrous outcome, Pedro had no choice but to give Theo another chance.
