Goodbye, Ex-husband! I’m Pregnant with Your Uncle’s Child!
Chapter 317: I Want Her Life!

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: I Want Her Life!

Uncle Moore looked at his face in the mirror, seeing the scratches left by fingernails.

Even though only faint traces remained now, these scars still made him incredibly angry.

The crazy act by Mrs. Hamilton that day caused him to lose face, especially during the family gathering.

Everyone had seen the pathetic state he was in when he was attacked by his wife’s grandmother.

Uncle Moore just needed to recall the scene from that day, and rage would start churning in his chest.

Even though he had already sent the old lady back to her hometown, it did nothing to quell his fury.

He simply couldn’t swallow this grievance.

Why Mrs. Hamilton insisted that Finn Hamilton was caught because he was acting for him, behind this there must be Julia Land’s shadow. Definitely, it was she who manipulated everything from behind the scenes.

Uncle Moore now truly hated Julia Land to death.

Recently, the stock prices of Dale Group have been continuously climbing.

And as they had all sold their shares, they were sarcastically ridiculed by other members of the Moore family during the family gathering.

Now, they are all being laughed at behind their backs.

Claire Hamilton silently walked into the room, gently closing the door; she knew Uncle Moore was in a fit of rage and didn’t dare to provoke him further.

Uncle Moore glanced at Claire and said coldly, "This whole mess wouldn’t have happened if not for your stupid brother."

Claire bit her lip, feeling aggrieved inside. Why did they get her brother involved in such dangerous affairs!

Uncle Moore walked out of the room; today, he had arranged to meet with Mason Moore and others at the clubhouse to discuss matters.

For now, they couldn’t do anything to Julia Land and could only watch as Dale Group’s fortunes rose.

Naturally, this made them feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, inside the clubhouse, Mason and the others were already waiting for Uncle Moore.

Daniel voiced his irritation coldly, "What’s the purpose of meeting us today?"

Logan glanced at Daniel and said nothing.

Following Uncle Moore’s advice, they had all sold their company shares and now each of them felt disgruntled.

Uncle Moore pushed open the door of the clubhouse and saw several of his cousins already waiting there.

As he sat down on the sofa, he heard Daniel asking with a sarcastic tone, "What is it that you want to discuss with us this time?"

Uncle Moore frowned, "What kind of tone is that?"

Daniel sneered, "A normal one."

Uncle Moore knew Daniel and the others were dissatisfied with him for the share-selling matter.

He looked coldly at Daniel and said, "I’ll be direct. The reason I called you here today is to discuss taking revenge on Julia Land."

Mason raised an eyebrow, interest flashing in his eyes, "Revenge on Julia Land? What are you planning exactly? We haven’t gained any advantages from her in the recent encounters."

Uncle Moore snorted, "She’s soaring high right now, with Dale Group’s stock price still rising. I can’t accept this!"

Mason made an acknowledging sound and asked curiously, "Uncle, what’s your plan?"

Uncle Moore smiled faintly, a chilling light in his eyes, "I want her life!"

Mason and the others exchanged glances with each other.

Hearing this, Mason showed a hint of a smile, "In that case, we need a good plan."

Mason actively discussed with Uncle Moore on how to take Julia Land’s life.

After a while, they came up with a venomous scheme.

Daniel didn’t participate in their plan, while Logan occasionally offered a suggestion.

Until the gathering was over, Uncle Moore and the others went their separate ways home, and as soon as Daniel got in his car, he sent a message to Tyler.

[Assistant Hughes, I have an important piece of information to sell to Julia Land, concerning her life, worth two billion.]

*

The next morning, Julia Land saw the message from Daniel to Tyler on the phone handed to her by Tyler.

"My life is apparently worth two billion. I’m delighted," she smiled and looked up at Tyler, "Assistant Hughes, you’ve done a good job this time. How did Daniel turn to sell information so quickly?"

Tyler smiled, "Daniel likes to gamble in various forms, and he’s nearly lost all the money from selling his shares."

There was also Tyler’s own designs in this, or else Daniel’s money wouldn’t have run out so fast.

Julia Land nodded, "Two billion, agree to it."

Tyler affirmed and immediately arranged the transaction.

After Tyler left the office, Julia Land buried herself in work again; as for the life-threatening matter mentioned by Daniel, she wasn’t in a hurry.

Sophie Woods was set to fly back to Inkwell City tomorrow. She had given up any hope of seeing James before she left Capital City.

But things took a surprising turn.

When she went to the hospital to bid farewell to Mr. Shaw and Elizabeth Shaw around noon today, she ran into Jasper who was there to visit Mr. Shaw.

"Mr. Winters, thank you for coming to visit my grandfather," Elizabeth spoke with politeness.

Jasper smiled, "I’ve already asked the doctor. Mr. Shaw’s recovery from surgery is going well," seeing Elizabeth’s somewhat haggard face, he suggested, "Miss Shaw, you could hire a nurse to help."

Elizabeth was taken aback by Jasper’s thoughtfulness; she nodded, "I’ve been intending to hire a nurse; I’m in the process of looking for one."

Jasper didn’t stay long; upon seeing that all was well, he said his goodbyes and left.

Sophie, seeing Jasper leaving the ward, followed after him.

Elizabeth saw her friend following Jasper out of the hospital room, her brow furrowing with a hint of worry.

Sophie hurried to catch up with Jasper, "Mr. Winters, may I take a few minutes of your time?"

Jasper stopped and turned, looking puzzled, "Miss Woods, what’s the matter?"

Sophie mustered up courage, her voice trembling slightly, "I need to ask for your help in a matter."

Jasper listened patiently, nodding, "Please, go ahead."

Sophie gripped the bag in her hand nervously and said, "I would like to meet with the boss for a moment, is that possible?"

Jasper didn’t immediately answer her request, he sized up Sophie and smiled, "May I ask what business you have with the boss?"

Realizing Jasper was brushing her off, Sophie spoke urgently, "I have some words that I need to convey to the boss personally, or even just a few words over the phone would suffice."
