Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: I am sure he has more to tell us

Gavin shot Aaron a glare, but Aaron simply ignored him and looked toward Edward.

At this point, Gavin had only one goal—to paint Leo as the villain and gain Edward’s sympathy for Nate.

"Grandpa, do you hear him?" Gavin said in disbelief. "Why is Aaron always taking Leo’s side? It’s clearly Leo’s fault, yet somehow my son is the one being blamed for everything he went through."

Despite the facts being laid out in front of him, Gavin refused to back down.

Aaron’s expression darkened.

He had always known his brother could be shameless, but watching him pin the blame on a child who had risked himself to help Nate was infuriating.

Before Aaron could respond, Edward spoke.

"Gavin, will you calm down for a moment?"

His voice was calm, but the irritation behind it was obvious.

"You’re giving me a headache."

The room instantly fell silent.

Edward had long grown tired of Gavin’s habit of turning every situation into an argument. Even now, when the truth was fairly straightforward, Gavin insisted on dragging Leo into a problem he had nothing to do with.

For a brief moment, Gavin hesitated.

Then he doubled down.

"No, Grandpa."

Everyone looked at him.

"You need to decide whether Leo should be punished."

The statement was so absurd that even Clara stiffened.

Gavin pointed toward Leo.

"If he had reported the situation sooner, Nate would never have been caught by those boys."

Aaron let out a sharp laugh.

This time, it wasn’t amusement.

It was disbelief.

Meanwhile, on the opposite couch, Nate quietly lowered his head.

His eyes drifted toward Leo.

Throughout the entire argument, Leo hadn’t said a word.

He hadn’t defended himself.

He hadn’t exposed Nate’s mistakes.

He hadn’t reminded anyone that it was Nate who had followed Theo.

Or that it was Nate who had left the academy grounds without informing anyone.

Leo could have easily shifted the blame where it belonged.

But he hadn’t.

The realization made guilt twist in Nate’s stomach.

His thoughts drifted back to that afternoon.

To the moment those boys had surrounded him.

To the punches.

The threats.

And then Leo stepping in.

Leo had been the one who refused to leave.

The one who had gotten help.

The one who had saved him from a situation that could have become much worse.

Nate swallowed hard.

Then he glanced at his father.

He hadn’t expected Gavin to twist the entire incident like this.

On the way to the estate, both Gavin and Clara had only told him one thing.

Stay quiet.

At the time, Nate hadn’t understood why.

Now he did.

"Gavin, you’re going too far," Aaron said firmly.

His patience was beginning to wear thin.

"You should be grateful Leo raised the alarm at the academy. If he hadn’t, the situation could have ended much worse."

Gavin immediately rounded on him.

"Stay out of this, Aaron."

His voice sharpened.

"I’m not talking to you."

Aaron raised an eyebrow.

"And yet you keep saying things that require correcting."

Gavin’s jaw clenched.

"Just because you’ve grown attached to Leo doesn’t mean I’m going to ignore reality."

"Reality?" Aaron repeated.

His expression turned cold.

"The reality is that Leo helped your son."

Aaron’s frustration was becoming increasingly visible, but Gavin wasn’t affected by it in the slightest.

If anything, he seemed more determined than ever.

"Grandpa, I want Leo to come forward and tell everyone the truth," Gavin declared.

The room immediately fell silent.

"What truth?" Edward asked, his voice calm but firm.

Gavin turned toward Leo.

"The truth that he knew Theo was involved with those boys."

The accusation hung heavily in the air.

"And not only that," Gavin continued, "he knew it before Nate ever met them."

The moment those words left his mouth, every pair of eyes shifted toward Leo.

The boy visibly shrank into his seat.
