Chapter 179 Distance Between Them
Zera lowered her head, her heart sinking with guilt.
Orson isn’t even Tyrone’s biological child–what right do I have to fight for anything?
I’ve been back in the country for so long, but Tyrone has kept me at arm’s length the entire time.

If he’d ever given me the chance, I would’ve already taken Aella’s place as Mrs. Winter instead of living with this constant humiliation.
Zera grabbed Jenny’s hand, putting on a pitiful look. “Jenny, the Winters are the most powerful family in Vleka. My background doesn’t even come close. Of course, his family doesn’t think I’m good enough.”
She sighed softly. “But titles don’t matter to me. As long as Tyrone truly loves me, that’s enough. I just want to work hard, prove myself, and be someone who deserves him.”
Then, as if testing the waters, she added, “Jenny, your family’s so respected, and you know so many people. Having you as a friend is such a blessing for me. You know how people say having the right friends opens new doors? Maybe you could introduce me to some of your circle? I promise I won’t be a bother.”
Jenny patted her chest, smiling confidently. “Don’t worry, Zera. From now on, my friends are your friends. I’ll introduce you to everyone I know.”
Zera’s lips curved in satisfaction.
That evening, Tyrone came home and saw Aella curled up on the couch, scrolling through her phone.
He set a thick envelope on the coffee table and asked, “Feeling any better?”
Aella lifted her gaze lazily, giving him a look. “Do you even hear how dumb that sounds?”
Tyrone loosened his tie and sat down beside her.
He met her eyes and said quietly, “You were the one who started this.”
Aella’s lips twitched, but she turned her head away, not responding.
When she didn’t say anything, Tyrone nudged the envelope toward her. “Open it.”
Aella ignored him, so Tyrone leaned over and took her phone right out of her hand.

With a sigh, she grabbed the envelope, opened it, and skimmed through the pages. It was full of documents listing Tyrone’s personal assets.
She closed it again and handed it back.
Tyrone pushed it toward her once more, then took her hand gently. “These are all mine. The contracts are ready. Once you sign, everything’s yours.”
Aella stared at him, not sure what trick he was trying to pull this time.
But she didn’t want any of it.
Even if she took it, she wouldn’t keep it.
All she wanted was to end things cleanly–no strings attached.
She said calmly, “Tyrone, I know how you work. Even if you transfer everything to me, you could still take it all back whenever you feel like it.”

No matter what I say or do, she doesn’t believe me anymore.
Before, even after our worst fights, she’d still show that she cared.
But ever since the marriage contract was voided, she doesn’t even bother pretending.
