Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 819

Wilhelm looked up and saw Jane glaring at him fiercely.

Startled, he stammered, "Mom... Mommy, why are you—"

Before he could finish, Jane yanked him up and delivered two hard smacks to his backside.

She scolded, "Why did you lie?! Do you have any idea how serious the consequences of your lie are?!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the harder she hit Wilhelm.

Having been spoiled while growing up, Wilhelm had never been hit like this before. He immediately burst into tears, his sobs echoing throughout the villa. "Wah... Mommy, please stop! I know I was wrong! I'll never lie again..."

Jane smacked him a few more times, still fuming. "Shut up!"

Frightened by her terrifying demeanor, Wilhelm was stunned before bursting into a high-pitched, panicked cry that filled the entire villa.

A maid rushed over. "Ms. Wilkie, you can't hit a child like this, and Mr. Wilhelm is frightened…"

Jane shot the maid a cold glance, causing her to fall silent. The maid shrank back and stared at the floor as if she hadn't seen anything.

Bothered by Wilhelm's cries, Jane tossed him to the maid. "Make him shut up!"

Without a care that Wilhelm was crying so hard he could barely breathe, Jane headed upstairs to her bedroom. Once inside, she tossed her bag on the floor and sat at her vanity, looking utterly exhausted.

If Gabriel didn't help her, she honestly didn't know who else to turn to. Could she really have to come clean to Pedro?

Just the thought of that possibility made her chest feel heavy, but it seemed there were no other options.
