Chapter 1074
Nyla frowned. "What are you trying to say?"noveldrama
Gabriel hesitated before explaining, "On Friday, when I left Buddy in my office, the company's system suddenly had issues during that same timeframe. I"
She cut him off sharply, "Are you suggesting my five-year-old son somehow sabotaged your company's system? Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?"
Gabriel stood in silence, his expression awkward. Even he knew how absurd it sounded.
"I don't have time for your nonsense," Nyla commented. "Instead of pointing fingers at Buddy, maybe you should look into whether your system was already faulty."
With that, she shoved past him and left.
Gabriel stood there for a moment, watching her car disappear down the road before finally heading back to his vehicle.
As Mason walked into his kindergarten classroom, he quickly noticed his classmates giving him odd looks.
He ignored them, found his seat, and waited quietly for the teacher to arrive.
After a while, one of the children approached him hesitantly. "Mason, I heard from my dad that your family went bankrupt. Is that true?" Before Mason could respond, the other kids burst into chatter.
"It's true! I heard my parents talking about it last night. They said I shouldn't play with Mason anymore because his family is poor now." "Same! My mom said he might have to transfer to a normal kindergarten soon because his family can't afford this one anymore!" The comments came in a flurry.
Mason frowned slightly. He understood what "bankrupt" meant.
Was this why his father had been so upset all weekend? If the company was out of money, then their family must be too.
But he quickly comforted himself
with a simple solution-he had money saved up in his piggy bank. He could give it to his father. That way, their family would have money again, right?
Lost in thought, Mason barely noticed the mocking and disdain from his classmates.
Not that it would have mattered-what they thought of him wasn't important. Even if his family's situation meant he had to transfer schools, he didn't mind.
Soon after, Wilhelm walked into the classroom and spotted Mason. A flicker of resentment crossed his face.
He still hadn't forgotten Friday, when Gabriel forced him to sit in the car with Mason, insisting they get along because they'd soon be brothers.
The thought infuriated him. He didn't want Mason as a brother and certainly didn't want Nyla as his new mom.
He had thrown a tantrum, demanding his dad kick Mason out.
Furious, Gabriel had slapped him and locked him in a room at another villa, telling him he wouldn't be released until he reflected on his behavior. The more Wilhelm thought about it, the more he despised Mason.
If it weren't for Mason and Nyla, his parents wouldn't have divorced, and he wouldn't have been torn away from his mother.
After being locked up for two days, Wilhelm pretended to apologize and agree to befriend Mason. But inside, he had already decided-he would never let Mason take his father's attention or affection away from him.

When he overheard the other kids gossiping about Mason's family going bankrupt, Wilhelm finally understood why his father had said they would soon be one family.
