Chapter 999 Gabriel was the owner of Nyce Tech? If anyone else had told Jane this, she would have dismissed it as nonsense. But since Pedro mentioned that the document cfrom Damon, she knew it was the truth.
However, now that Gabriel owned Nyce Tech, there was no longer any need for her to pursue Pedro. The market value of Nyce Tech far exceeded that of the Wilkie Group.

Jane quickly stopped the maid, breathless. "Has Grandpa drunk the tea yet?" The maid, looking confused, shook her head. "No, Mr. Wilkie said he was going to bed and that the tea might cause insomnia. He had someone bring him a glass of warm milk instead." "Oh... that's good..." Jane sighed in relief, though she noticed the maid eyeing her with suspicion.
"I just remembered that I read somewhere that old people shouldn't drink tea at night because it's bad for their health..." she quickly added. "Givethe tea. It's my favorite.

"Just do as I say," Pedro ordered.
"Of course..." the butler complied.

The butler handed Pedro a report. "Mr. Wilkie, here are the results of the tea's analysis."
Pedro took the report and, after a long pause, opened it. He stared at the test results for several moments for before slowly closing the document. He couldn't believe it. His own granddaughter, whom he had raised with so much care, had planned to harm him.
