Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1075

It turned out Mason's father had gone bankrupt, which was why Mason's mother was considering marrying Wilhelm's father.

Wilhelm stormed up to Mason and shoved him. "Mason, I won't let your mom marry my dad! Your family goes broke, and now your mom wants to marry my dad to become my stepmom? No way! I won't let you get what you want!"

Mason nearly lost his balance but quickly steadied himself, his cold gaze locking onto Wilhelm.

Despite being only five years old, there was already a trace of Damon's commanding aura in Mason's expression—a look that demanded respect and fear.

It startled Wilhelm, making him instinctively take two steps back.

Realizing their classmates were watching, Wilhelm forced himself to stand tall and glare back. "What are you staring at me for? I'm just telling the truth! Your mom's doing something shameless, and I'm not allowed to say anything about it?"

He had made up his mind—there was no way Nyla would marry Gabriel!

"My mom would never marry your dad. She can't stand him," Mason shot back sharply.

Whenever Nyla saw Gabriel, her face filled with disgust. She avoided speaking to him whenever possible. How could she ever marry someone she couldn't stand?

"You're lying! I hate your mom, and I hate you too! I'll never let your mom be with my dad!" Wilhelm shouted.

The argument quickly escalated.

When Wilhelm ran out of words, he resorted to his fists, and soon the two were locked in a full-on fight.

Mason had learned from their previous brawl and now knew Wilhelm's weaknesses. Wilhelm was no match for him this time.

In no time, Wilhelm was pinned to the ground, crying out as Mason landed blow after blow.

The commotion frightened some timid kids, who rushed to get the teacher.

The teacher arrived quickly, pulling the boys apart and summoning their parents.

Wilhelm, however, was covered in bruises, his face swollen and pitiful. He hesitated, wanting to run into Gabriel's arms for comfort, but froze when he met his father's cold gaze.

"Daddy..." he murmured, his voice filled with guilt and fear.

Gabriel ignored him, turning instead to Laura. "Ms. Ferrier, I'm sorry for the trouble Wilhelm has caused."

Laura blinked, caught off guard by his response. Something about it felt off.

Wilhelm had been beaten black and blue, yet Gabriel hadn't even asked about his son's injuries or tried to understand what had happened. He went straight to apologizing on Wilhelm's behalf.

Even if Wilhelm was at fault, shouldn't a parent at least seek an explanation before assigning blame?

"Mr. Hackett, I called you here to help us understand what happened. This isn't the first time Wilhelm and Mason have fought.

"I think it's time for the parents to discuss how to handle this moving forward," Laura said, her tone firm.
