Chapter 431

Tyrell looked utterly miserable as his three brothers confronted him, their anger palpable in the tense room.

Marcel’s voice was sharp, dripping with accusation. “Seriously? You talk as if your feelings were so deep and genuine. If you were truly determined, why didn’t you divorce Nataly sooner? Why wait until Kay showed up at your doorstep before giving her a chance to get hurt? Tyrell, a man who tries to keep both sides afloat—there’s no other word for you but a bastard.”

Beckett’s tone was colder, biting. “And then you thought you could control Kay with money? I shouldn’t even have brought up the Development Project in Mississippi, but look at what you did—handing her piles of cash, while Nataly and your mother schemed against her. Because of your greed, Kay nearly lost her life. No matter how you spin it, you’re nothing but scum, unable to protect the woman you claim to love and instead dragging her into danger.”

Deandre’s voice was heavy with disappointment. “Kay’s accident? That was your fiancée’s doing. And at the root of it all, it was your failure to handle things properly that put her life at risk. And where were you when Kay was in danger? If it weren’t for us stepping in, would she have survived? Or would you have just gone ahead and married Nataly like nothing happened?”

Tyrell’s face turned pale, panic setting in. “No, no, I do love Kaylie. I admit I’ve been immature, and that’s caused her harm more than once. But I swear, from now on, I’ll protect her with everything I have. I won’t leave her side ever again!”

Before he could say more, Aunt raised her hand firmly to silence him. “Enough. Your mother has called me several times, expressing her disapproval of your relationship with Kay. I’ve already made my decision.”

Tyrell’s voice grew desperate. “Aunt, my mother isn’t on my side. She’s the one who planted doubts about Kay in my mind. She’s done wrong by all of us—please don’t listen to her.”

Conclusion

Amidst the tension, Kaylie’s quiet observations revealed a bittersweet understanding of Tyrell’s vulnerability and the loneliness that seemed to haunt him. Though she felt a flicker of sympathy, the moment underscored the painful reality that love alone might not be enough to heal the wounds inflicted by years of mistrust and missteps. The chapter closed on a note of poignant uncertainty, leaving the characters to grapple with their fractured bonds and the uncertain road ahead.
