Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman Chapter 129: Your father is definitely finding out

Thud!

Lola slamd the can of beer onto the table and groaned dramatically.

"Those little brats," she muttered through gritted teeth. "How dare they ruin my hair like that?"

Even after washing it multiple tis, she swore she could still sll egg yolk.

The mory alone made her want to hunt those girls down personally.

Across from her, Ivy took a calm sip from her drink.

"They learned their lesson," she said. "I doubt they’ll be cornering anyone again anyti soon."

"I agree with Ivy," Sal added while leaning back in his chair.

The three of them had ended up at a bar after the photoshoot.

Originally, everyone planned to head ho after work.

But after dealing with Kevin’s fans, public humiliation, flying eggs, and an unexpected confrontation, all three desperately needed a drink.

"Well," Lola sighed dramatically, "at least they cleaned up the ss."

Sal chuckled.

"Only because they thought Ivy was about to call their school."

"That was honestly terrifying," Lola admitted.

Ivy simply shrugged.

anwhile, a few minutes passed as they casually chatted.

Then Lola noticed sothing.

Every few monts, Ivy would glance down at her phone.

At first, she ignored it.

But after the fifth ti, it beca impossible not to notice.

"Are you waiting for soone’s call?" Lola finally asked.

Ivy looked up from the screen.

"Oh."

A small frown appeared on her face.

"I was just checking on my son."

Both Lola and Sal froze.

"I texted him earlier that I’d be late tonight," Ivy continued casually. "But he still hasn’t replied."

Silence.

Lola blinked.

Then blinked again.

"...You have a son?"

Her voice ca out much louder than intended.

Several nearby custors glanced in their direction.

anwhile, Sal nearly choked on his drink.

Ivy calmly nodded.

"Yes."

Lola stared at her in complete disbelief.

She genuinely hadn’t expected that answer.

Ivy had just started her modeling career.

Most people entering the industry at this stage were focused on building their image, networking, and attracting sponsors.

Having a child wasn’t exactly sothing many openly talked about.

Across the table, Sal shot Ivy a warning look.

’Why would you tell her that?’

The ssage was obvious.

But Ivy completely ignored him.

She had never intended to hide Leo’s existence.

He was her son.

That fact wasn’t sothing she considered shaful.

"Yes," Ivy repeated calmly. "I have a son."

Then a small smile appeared on her lips.

"And soday I’ll introduce you to him."

Lola stared at her for several seconds.

The strange thing wasn’t the revelation itself.

It was how naturally Ivy talked about it.

There was no hesitation.

No embarrassnt.

No attempt to change the subject.

Just pride.

"Ivy..." Lola said carefully. "You do realize this could beco a huge obstacle in your career, right?"

Ivy remained silent.

Lola sighed.

"You’ve only just started. The industry can be brutal."

Her voice softened slightly.

"I’ve seen models hide marriages, relationships, pregnancies... even children."

The mory made her expression darken.

So gave up everything for their careers.

Others gave up their careers for their families.

Very few managed both.

But Ivy didn’t even look worried.

Instead, she calmly set her drink down.

"That’s exactly why I need you as my manager."

Lola blinked.

Ivy’s gaze remained steady.

"You need to make sure any attention aid at never reaches my son."

The atmosphere shifted slightly.

"I don’t care what people say about ," Ivy continued honestly. "But I won’t allow what happened today to happen to him."

For the first ti since eting Ivy, Lola understood sothing important.

This wasn’t a request.

It wasn’t even a discussion.

It was a mother’s boundary.

And judging from the look in Ivy’s eyes, anyone who crossed it would regret it.

Lola found herself unexpectedly smiling.

In an industry built on appearances and lies, Ivy’s honesty felt refreshing.

"Done," Lola said firmly.

"I’ll handle it."

Ivy nodded once.

"Thank you."

Both won exchanged a knowing look before returning to their drinks.

***

anwhile, inside the police station, Aaron spent the next half hour dealing with the aftermath of the incident.

After giving his statent, he spoke with the officers handling the case and made sure every detail was properly recorded.

The three older boys who had attempted to extort Nate were detained for questioning, while the officers promised to contact their parents imdiately.

Aaron also requested that Theo’s parents be inford about the situation.

Despite Theo’s role in luring Nate there, Aaron could see the boy was terrified and clearly being manipulated by those older teenagers.

Still, that didn’t excuse what he had done.

Actions had consequences.

And Theo would have to face them.

Once everything was settled, Aaron finally left the station with Leo.

anwhile, Marius escorted Nate ho after insisting that a doctor examine him.

The ride back was unusually quiet.

Aaron sat in the back seat beside Leo while Teddy drove.

Neither of them spoke.

The silence stretched on for several minutes.

Leo glanced toward his uncle.

Then glanced again.

Even a child could tell Aaron was upset.

Not angry.

Upset.

And sohow, that felt much worse.

"Uncle Aaron..."

His small voice finally broke the silence.

Aaron imdiately turned toward him.

The mont his eyes landed on Leo, most of the frustration inside him disappeared.

It always did.

Unfortunately, that didn’t an he was letting his nephew off easily.

"Leo," Aaron began seriously, "if you’re about to apologize for risking your life today, then trust , Uncle Aaron isn’t going to forgive you that easily."

He tried his best to sound stern.

But the effect was imdiate.

Leo’s eyes instantly began to water.

Aaron froze.

"Oh no."

The little boy lowered his head.

"I only did what I thought was right," Leo whispered.

His voice trembled slightly.

And just like that, Aaron’s entire act collapsed.

"Ah..."

His eyes widened in panic.

"Leo, no."

Before the first tear could even fall, Aaron quickly pulled him onto his lap.

"Nephew, don’t cry."

His stern expression vanished completely.

"I’m not scolding you."

Leo looked up at him with red eyes.

"Then why are you upset?"

The question imdiately hit Aaron where it hurt.

He sighed heavily and gently ruffled Leo’s hair.

"Because you scared ."

Leo blinked.

Aaron’s expression softened.

"What you did today was brave."

His voice remained calm.

"Very brave."

Leo’s eyes brightened slightly.

"But it was also dangerous."

The brightness imdiately disappeared again.

Aaron gently cupped his cheek.

"Do you know what would’ve happened if Teddy, Marius, and I hadn’t arrived when we did?"

Leo fell silent.

Aaron didn’t wait for an answer.

"You would’ve ended up exactly like Nate."

The words made Leo lower his eyes.

Aaron’s stomach twisted just imagining it.

When he arrived at that alley, Nate had already been bruised and beaten.

And if those boys had turned their attention toward Leo...

Aaron didn’t even want to think about it.

His nephew was the pride of the entire family.

The child they had cherished, spoiled, and protected for years.

Seeing even a small scratch on Leo usually made everyone panic.

If anything serious had happened to him today...

Aaron was fairly certain Xander would’ve torn the city apart looking for soone to bla.

Even Ivy would have lost her mind.

The thought alone made him shudder.

"Next ti," Aaron said quietly, "if you see sothing dangerous, you call an adult first."

Leo hesitated.

"But Nate needed help."

Aaron sighed. Of course that would be his answer. The child had inherited the Erson stubbornness. Unfortunately.

"You still call an adult," Aaron insisted.

"Then what if they don’t arrive in ti?"

Aaron opened his mouth.

Then closed it again.

Because honestly?

That was a fair question.

anwhile, Teddy glanced at them through the rearview mirror, silently enjoying the struggle on Aaron’s face.

Finally, Aaron pointed a finger at Leo.

"You are not allowed to use logic against right now."

Leo blinked.

"But—"

"No."

"Uncle Aaron—"

"No."

"I was just—"

"No."

Leo finally pouted. anwhile, Aaron felt slightly victorious. For approximately three seconds. Then Leo quietly asked,

"Are you going to tell my dad?"

Aaron’s expression froze. The car suddenly beca silent again. Even Teddy looked away. Because everyone already knew the answer.

Aaron slowly rubbed his forehead.

"...Your father is definitely finding out."

Leo imdiately looked horrified.

And sohow, Aaron finally felt a little better knowing he wouldn’t be the only one suffering tonight.

After all... explaining this situation to Xander was about to beco soone else’s problem too.

***

anwhile, Xander had already been inford about everything that had happened at the school. Taylor had expected his boss to scare the life out of him, but Xander appeared surprisingly calm after learning that Master Aaron had been with Leo and had handled the situation himself.

However, the next update Taylor delivered instantly darkened Xander’s expression.

Ivy, who was supposed to be ho by now, was drinking at a bar.

Even though Xander had no idea how much alcohol she could actually handle, he wasn’t willing to take any chances when it ca to her.

Just when he thought he couldn’t be any more uneasy, his phone suddenly rang.

The mont he heard the voice on the other end of the line, the temperature inside the room seed to plumt.
