Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Nyla was taken aback. She hadn't expected Jane's son to be shunned by his classmates, but she didn't feel the slightest sympathy.

"Ms. Wilkie, before the facts were even clear, you threatened to call the police. And after discovering that it was your son lying to get mine in trouble, you didn't even make him apologize. I'm not sure where you get the audacity to come and question me now," Nyla retorted.

"I'm not like you. I don't have that kind of sway over the school's vice principal. As for your son being left out, I don't know how it happened, but kids naturally prefer to play with those who are kind and honest. They don't appreciate a liar. Instead of blaming me, maybe you should reflect on your own parenting," Nyla said.

Jane's face contorted in fury as she replied, "Nyla, just because Damon's backing you, don't think you can do whatever you—"

Nyla didn't let her finish and hung up, unwilling to waste any more time on someone who wouldn't listen.

Jane was so angry she nearly threw her phone. She gritted her teeth, about to call back, when Gabriel rang in.

"Jane, where are you right now?" Gabriel asked.

Jane took a deep breath to calm herself, though her irritation still seeped through. "I'm at the office, heading over to Wil's school. He just called, saying all his classmates are ignoring him. No one will talk to him."

"I'll go talk to Wil. Theo's getting in touch with Starlite's general manager. I'll send you the address-go there now. If he beats us to the Golden Waters Resort project, he'll officially join the Wilkie Group. Your failed negotiation with Damon will also upset Grandpa," Gabriel reminded.

Jane's expression darkened. "Understood. I'm on my way."

After hanging up, she received the address Gabriel sent and immediately drove off.

Gabriel smirked in his office after sending the address. He tossed on his jacket and headed out.

At the same time, his secretary entered with a stack of files. "Mr. Hackett, these documents need your signature today."

He gave a slight nod. "Leave them on my desk. I have to head out."

"Understood, Mr. Hackett," she replied.

Gabriel's office was only a short drive from Wilhelm's school, so he arrived in less than half an hour.

Having previously visited the school

with Pedro and Jane when the Wilkie

Group made a donation, the security recognized him and opened the

gate.

After parking, he called Wilhelm's teacher and learned Wilhelm was in the office. As soon as he entered, he saw Wilhelm standing in the corner with his head down.

"Wilhelm," Gabriel called.

Wilhelm looked up at the sound of his voice.

"Daddy!" he cried. He ran over and clung to Gabriel's leg, looking wronged.

"They're all being mean to me. I don't want to be in that class anymore and I don't want to be friends with them either. Daddy, make the principal kick them out!" he

demanded.

Wilhelm's face was scrunched up in anger, fists clenched as if he wished all the kids who wouldn't play with him would just disappear.

Gabriel frowned and squatted down to be at Wilhelm's eye level. "Wil, did you forget what Daddy told you yesterday?"
