Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Nyla looked at Theo with confusion. "Mr. Wilkie, we're not close, and I don't think I can help you with anything."

"Ms. Kinsey, you're the only one who can help me." Theo gazed at her intently, speaking slowly. "Before Jane went abroad, she sold her 10% stake in the Wilkie Group to Mr. Sumner for a low price of 7,000,000 dollars.

"Now, I want to buy those shares back from him. Could you help me by talking to him? I'm willing to pay 30,000,000 dollars for the shares."

His expression was earnest, but Nyla frowned. "I don't understand business matters, and I don't have the power to intervene. You should discuss this with Damon."

Theo sighed deeply.noveldrama

"My grandfather has already met with Mr. Sumner. He wants us to buy the shares back at market price, but the Wilkie Group nearly went bankrupt recently.

"We're just starting to recover and don't have that kind of money. That's why I'm asking you to help us plead with Mr. Sumner.

"If you're willing to help, Ms. Kinsey, I'm prepared to transfer a vacation resort under my name to you as a token of gratitude," Theo offered.

Valarie raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't know Theo well, she had heard enough about his stinginess. If he was willing to offer an entire vacation resort, it meant he was truly desperate.

Nyla shook her head. "Mr. Wilkie, I really can't help you. We have other plans, so we'll be leaving now."

With that, she grabbed Valarie and left immediately.

Once seated in a restaurant, Valarie broke the silence. "It seems those 10% shares are critical to the Wilkie Group. Otherwise, there's no way that miser Theo would offer up a resort just to get you to talk to Damon."

If Nyla asked Damon, there was a chance he might agree to sell the shares back to Theo.

Nyla opened the menu, glancing through it as she replied, "If he's willing to part with a resort, those shares must be worth far more than 30,000,000 dollars, plus the resort. Besides, I don't want to get involved in Damon's business."

"Good call. Business matters are beyond us anyway." Valarie paused, then

added, "By the way, I actually had something to tell you."

"What is it?" Nyla asked.

"I got kidnapped yesterday by Drake's people. He wanted to use me to threaten Tom into revealing how much he had told Damon about him. Luckily, Damon showed up just in time to save us," Valarie said.

Nyla froze, frowning at Valarie. "Why are you only telling me this now?"

"I didn't get the chance before! Besides, it seems Drake's after you. You need to be careful," Valarie warned.

Nyla nodded. "I know. He came to me yesterday too. I'll be cautious. You stay safe as well."

"Mm. What bad luck. Tom and I

Drake's killing intent had been clear.

Suddenly, she frowned. "Oh, right. I just remembered. Tom mentioned that Drake has always wanted to marry you. Do you know him from before?"

Nyla stared at Valarie in shock. "You must have misheard. I've only met him once. How could he want to marry me?"

"I'm sure I didn't mishear. If you don't believe me, I can call Tom now to confirm," Valarie suggested.

Seeing Valarie's serious expression, Nyla quickly said, "I believe you. It's just... hard to wrap my head around."

Drake wanting to marry her? It sounded absurd!
