Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 979

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.
