Chasing the Unexpected CHAPTER 818

Jane stared at him coldly. “Are you saying my son is lying?”

“Perhaps you should take a look at this first,” Damon suggested.

He pulled up a video he had received that morning and showed it to Jane. At first, she didn’t understand, but three minutes later, her face turned ashen.

Wasn’t the classroom surveillance camera broken? How had Damon gotten it?

Her complexion shifted rapidly, turning from pale to flushed in disbelief. She murmured, ‘ No… this can’t be happening…”

If Wilhelm had truly fallen on his own, she would not only have gained nothing from Damon, but she also would have further angered him.

Damon’s expression remained indifferent. “If you don’t believe me, I can have the video verified. You can also choose to call the police since you mentioned that yesterday.”

Jane shook her head repeatedly. “No… it can’t be… This isn’t happening…”

Damon no longer looked at her. He stood up and said coldly, “I have work to do, so I won’t see you out.‘

As Jane left Prospectus Technology in a daze, she felt only cold despite basking in the warm sunlight. It was as if she had fallen into an ice pit.

Having messed up this matter meant Pedro wouldn’t give her the promised shares. If he found out that Wilhelm had lied, he would certainly be even more displeased with her, thinking she hadn’t raised him properly.

With this in mind, Jane gritted her teeth and resolved to keep this matter under wraps at all costs. The question was… how could she do that?

If she lied to Pedro about reaching an agreement, he would surely find out she had deceived him once it came time for the bidding. By then, he would be even angrier when he learned the truth.

In that case, there was only one option left.

No matter what, she had to find a way to acquire the plot of land from Prospectus Technology.

Having made up her mind, Jane immediately called Gabriel.

Gabriel learned that Jane wanted him to pull all the company’s funds to buy the plot of land

from Prospectus Technology.

He refused outright, “Jane, this is illegal. If Grandpa finds out, we’re both finished, and you’ll never have a chance to enter the Wilkie Group again.”

Jane felt her emotions spiraling out of control as she gritted her teeth. “This is all because Wilhelm lied! After all these years, it’s the first time Grandpa has agreed to give me shares in the company. I have to take this chance!”

“No way.

If I did that, I wouldn’t just be harming you–I would be hurting our family. I can’t agree to it!” Gabriel insisted.

Seeing the uncompromising expression on Gabriel’s face, Jane felt a surge of disappointment, and her gaze turned icy.

“Gabriel, I never thought you’d turn out to be this kind of person. You owe your current success to me! And now you refuse to help me!” she snapped. “Grandpa might not even notice. If I can secure that plot of land, I’ll gradually repay the money without anyone knowing!”

Jane’s expression was almost hysterical, but Gabriel remained unmoved, replying firmly,‘ No matter what you say, I won’t agree to this. I’m doing this to help you.”

Jane let out a cold laugh. “Fine! Gabriel, I see your true colors now!”

With that, she grabbed her bag and angrily stormed out, slamming the office door behind her.

Gabriel appeared indifferent as he returned to his desk to continue working.

Instead of going to the company, Jane headed straight to Wilhelm’s kindergarten. The fact that he hadn’t come to class today only made her angrier. She sped home.

As soon as she stepped into the villa, she saw Wilhelm playing on the floor, and her surged like a fire.
