Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Wilhelm froze for a moment, his eyes welling up with tears as confusion and hurt clouded them.

"Mommy, do you really not want me anymore?" he asked, his voice trembling.

Jane's gaze flickered with a brief trace of pain as she looked at Wilhelm sitting pitifully on the floor. But the softness in her eyes vanished as quickly as it appeared.

She stared at him coldly. "That's right. I never wanted you. I hit you to try and get your father to come back.

"The other day, when I took you out for steak, I deliberately let you eat that hazelnut cake. You started itching later because you're allergic—that was intentional, too. I wanted you hospitalized so I could force your father to see me."

Her tone grew harsher. "Now that Gabriel and I are divorced, you're of no use to me. You're just a burden. Taking you with me would only drag me down.

"And I hate your father. Naturally, I hate you, too. Don't show up in front of me again!"

Wilhelm sat frozen, her words cutting into him like shards of glass.

Then, his body trembled as tears streamed down his cheeks. "No! That's not true! Mommy, you're lying! You would never abandon me!" Jane turned her face away, her expression hardening.

She noticed Gabriel standing in the doorway and paused briefly before saying coldly, "Gabriel, I'm leaving the country soon. Why do you keep bringing Wilhelm here to disgust me? Take him and leave-I don't want to see him anymore."

Gabriel stepped into the room, his gaze indifferent as it swept over the mostly packed belongings. He appeared unfazed.noveldrama

"Wil, do you believe me now? Let's go," he said evenly.

He extended a hand toward Wilhelm, but the boy slapped it away in defiance. "Go away! I hate you! I'm not going with you! Neither of you wants me, so I don't want either of you anymore!"

Wilhelm rubbed his tear-streaked face with his sleeve and bolted out of the room.

Gabriel didn't chase after him-the service staff wouldn't let Wilhelm leave the premises.

Instead, he turned his attention to Jane, his voice calm. "Wendy told me you're planning to leave the country."

Jane sneered. "Isn't that exactly what you wanted?"

Gabriel sighed, his tone measured. "Jane, even though we're divorced, you're still Wilhelm's mother. If you ever face difficulties abroad, you can always contact me."

"I don't need your charity, Gabriel," Jane snapped.

With the 10% stake in the Wilkie Group and the money Gabriel had given her, she could live comfortably overseas for the rest of her life.

As for Wilhelm...

She met Gabriel's gaze, her tone

firm. "Since you've taken custody of Wilhelm, I hope you'll treat him well. Even if you remarry and have other children, don't neglect him

Gabriel's expression didn't waver. "You can rest assured, he's my son too."

"Your words mean nothing to me," Jane retorted bitterly.

For years, Gabriel had deceived her with empty promises. She wouldn't fall for his words again.

"What do you want from me to prove it?" Gabriel asked.

"Transfer 50% of your shares in Nyce Tech to Wilhelm's name," Jane demanded without hesitation.

Gabriel's eyes narrowed, his presence radiating cold fury. "Do you take me for a fool?"

stake now. If he transferred half his shares and Jane later fought for custody, those shares could easily end up back in her control.
