    Wilhelm froze for a moment, then shook off Jane''s hand as he processed the situation, whining, "No! He hurt me. He has to be expelled!"


    Once the center of attention in ss, Wilhelm had enjoyed the adoration of his ssmates.


    However, since Mason''s arrival, those who once fawned over him had turned their affections toward Mason instead, leaving Wilhelm feeling isted each day.


    Only by getting rid of Mason could he reim their attention.


    Seeing Wilhelm''s angry little face, Jane sighed and crouched down to speak to him slowly. "Wil, Mason''s father is very influential. Daddy and Mommy can''t provoke him. If you really don''t want to see Mason anymore, how about I transfer you to another school?"


    "No! I don''t want to transfer schools!" Wilhelm protested. "Mommy, didn''t you say you could do anything? Why can''t you get the principal to expel Mason?"


    He shouted, "You liar! You''re a big liar! I won''t believe anything you say anymore!" Wilhelm shoved Jane away and ran for the door.


    Caught off guard, Jane stumbled and fell to the ground, pain shooting through her and making her frown.


    When she saw Wilhelm running away without a nce back, anger bubbled inside her. She quickly got up and chased after him.


    Just as Wilhelm was about to burst out of the Wilkie residence, Jane grabbed him by the back of his cor and pulled him back.


    With tears streaming down his face, Wilhelm kicked and punched Jane while yelling, "Liar! Let me go! You''re a bad mom! Useless mom! I don''t want you as my mom anymore!"


    Although he was small, he thrashed about with all his might, causing Jane considerable pain. Already angry about him shoving her earlier, her frustration deepened.


    "Wilhelm!" Her voice was stern, her expression frighteningly cold.


    Wilhelm froze in surprise before starting to wail, “Bad mommy! Bad mommy! You''re yelling at me! I hate you!"


    "Shut up!" Jane shouted.


    Wilhelm ignored herpletely, his cries only growing louder.


    Jane red at him coldly, then opened the door and dragged him out of the residence, pulling him toward the vi next door.


    When Wilhelm saw Jane''s tense face, fear crept into his heart. He cried even harder, struggling as he protested, "Let me go! Let me go! I want to find Great- grandpa! I don''t want to go with you!"


    However, no matter how hard he tried, a small child like him couldn''t match the strength of an adult. He was quickly dragged back to the vi by Jane.

    Once they were in the living room, Jane locked the door behind them and looked down at him coldly. "Keep crying. Let''s see how long you can keep it up."


    "Wahhh... I want to find Great-grandpa..." Wilhelm cried.


    "It won''t help to find him. He can''t offend Mason''s father either. You have two choices now-first, I can transfer you. Second, you can ept Mason''s apology and get along with him from now on," Janeid out the options.


    "No!" Wilhelm yelled, ring at Jane with resentment. "I want to wait for Daddy toe back!"


    Gabriel usually spoiled Wilhelm, going out of his way to give him everything he wanted. But right now...


    Jane let out a coldugh. "Your dad can''t help you this time. If you keep misbehaving, who knows? Maybe soon, your dad won''t want you anymore!"

    As N was about to finish her work in the evening, Ruby gestured for her to look out the window.


    N was surprised to see Damon standing outside. He was dressed in a gray suit, looking tall and poised, his dark eyes fixed on her with a warm, tender gaze.


    Ruby spoke up. "N, you should go. I can tidy up here. Don''t keep Mr. Sumner waiting."


    Noticing the teasing tone in her voice, N couldn''t help but smile. “Alright, thank you. I''ll bring you breakfast tomorrow."


    "Sounds good," Ruby replied.


    As N walked out of theb, she took off herb coat and asked, "Why are you getting off work so early today?”


    Typically, she was the one leaving first. Sometimes, Damon stayedte, and she''d spend time in the office catching up on literature.


    Damon looked at her. Today, she wore a dress with a ssic cut, her long hair simply tied back with a hair tie, giving her a neat and capable appearance. Despite not wearing any makeup, she was still stunning.


    "The meeting ended early. When do you finish?" Damon asked.


    "I just need to tidy up my desk before I leave," N answered.


    Damon nodded. “Alright, I''ll wait here for you."


    Back in N''s office, while she organized her things, Leon approached her.


    "N, aren''t you going to ask about Ruby?" he asked.


    N paused and looked up at him. "Well, it''s her personal matter. If I pry too much,


    it might make her ufortable. If she needs my help, she''ll tell me. If she hasn''t said anything, it means she doesn''t want to share. There''s no need to push."


    Leon frowned but couldn''t refute her logic. "Okay."


    "Mm, you shouldn''t ask her either. If she wants to talk, she will," N reminded him.


    Leon nodded and didn''t say anything else as he turned to leave.


    N finished packing and walked out of the office, telling Damon, "Let''s go."

    Damon took her bag from her, his expression neutral. "What did Leon want?" Surprised, N looked up at him. “You know his name?".


    "Aren''t you in the sameb? I''ve seen him a few times before," Damon borated. "Oh," N replied.


    Noticing that she had fallen silent, Damon sighed. "You still haven''t answered my question."


    Just as he finished speaking, N smiled and raised an eyebrow. "If I don''t say anything, are you going to get

    jealous again?"


    “Not at all. You''re overthinking it," Damon denied.


    "But your expression suggests otherwise," N teased.


    Damon remained silent.


    Upon seeing his straight face, N''s smile deepened. "He just asked me about


    Ruby. Nothing else."


    "Oh," Damon replied.


    The two fell silent, and the quiet continued until they reached the car.

    On the way back, N pondered for a while before deciding to tell Damon about what had happened at the kindergarten that morning.


    After listening, Damon''s expression darkened. "You don''t need to worry about this anymore. I''ll handle it."


    N thought it made sense to involve Damon in handling Mason''s matters. It would help the father and son bond more quickly, so she nodded. "Alright."


    Damon took out his phone and called Spencer. "Find out what happened to Buddy at the kindergarten this morning. Do it quickly."


    After hanging up, he asked N if Mason''s injuries were serious. When he learned that Mason only had a few scratches on his face, he sighed in relief.


    Soon, the car pulled up in front of the vi.


    Unexpectedly, a red BMW was parked by the vi''s entrance, blocking Damon''s car.
