Philip shook his head. "Ms. Wilkie, I have other matters to attend to. If you need a lawyer, I can refer one to you."

"Fine. Let's see if you'll get your lawyer's fee after this," Jane shot back.

Without another word, Philip walked past her and left.

Fuming, Jane grabbed the divorce papers and prepared to tear them up again.

As her hand hovered over the papers, though, she paused.

She took a deep breath and read the contents. After that, she tossed them straight into the trash.

Gabriel had truly lost his mind he was offering her 10,000,000 dollars as compensation for the divorce.

He had worked at a game company under the Wilkie Group for years, earning only a few thousand each month. Where could he possibly get 10,000,000 dollars?

Jane picked up her phone and called her assistant. "Find out where Gabriel is now!"

She expected a quick response, but after an entire day, the assistant still hadn't located him.

Jane lost her temper. "What kind of job do you do? You can't even find a man who doesn't have a job?"

The assistant, feeling aggrieved, tried to explain, "I checked the surveillance, but after he left the villa, his trail went cold. Ms. Wilkie, maybe you should hire a private detective?"

"Useless!" Jane snapped, hanging up.

After a moment of thought, she called her mother-in-law, Wren.

When Wren heard that Gabriel wanted a divorce, she couldn't believe it. "Divorce? You have a child together. How could he want a divo-"

She froze. Then, she recalled how Gabriel had warned her to stay away from Harrison when she tried to reconcile with him.

Could it be that he still liked Nyla? Was he out of his mind?

Jane could sense the hesitation in Wren's voice but didn't press her. Instead, she coldly said, "Mom, I can't get in touch with him. Can you call him and tell him to come back? Wil misses him. I won't agree to the divorce for his sake."

"Don't worry, Jane. I'll call him right now. I'll make sure he comes back tonight," Wren assured.

"Thanks, Mom," Jane replied.

After hanging up, Wren immediately dialed Gabriel's number. "Where are you?"

Gabriel's tone was cold. "What's the matter?"

"What do you mean, 'what's the matter'? Why are you divorcing Jane? Gabriel, don't forget, you have a family and a child now. Are you really going to ruin your life just for Nyla?" Wren demanded.

"It's been years now. Nyla and Damon already have a child, and you have a family. Can't you just leave things alone?"

Gabriel's voice was icy. "Don't forget, you have your own family, but you still want to get back together with Harrison. Why can't I divorce and pursue Nyla?" noveldrama

"That's different!" Wren snapped.

"I don't see how," Gabriel replied flatly.

"If you abandon your wife now, you'll regret it when you're older. Jane and Wilhelm will hate you for the rest of your life!" Wren warned.

Gabriel let out a cold laugh. "Mom, I don't care. As long as I'm with Nyla, nothing else matters to me."

"You're crazy!" Wren yelled. "Where are you? I'm coming to see you!"
