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.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
