Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318 I Never Agreed to the Engagement

Tyrone looked at Vivienne and asked, “How did you find out?”

Vivienne’s father, Hugo Guinevere, answered for her. “It was Mr. Vic who let us know. Otherwise, we’d have been left in the dark.”

His tone carried a hint of accusation and frustration.

Tyrone glanced at Brad, who quickly helped him up.

Tyrone then said, “I’m heading back to the hospital. You all go ahead and talk.”

The Guineveres had just sat down, but Tyrone was already trying to leave. Naturally, the anger and disappointment on their faces were obvious.

Vivienne’s mother, Jasmine Guinevere, spoke up. “Mr. Tyrone, it seems like you don’t want us

here.”

Ralph jumped in to smooth things over. “Mrs. Guinevere, don’t take it the wrong way. This kid just got an earful from me when we were arguing earlier.”

Brad took the chance to speak. “Tyrone’s badly hurt and has been out for a while. We should get him back to the hospital. You all take your time and chat. I’ll run him back.”

As Brad started to help Tyrone out, Vivienne got up too.

She smiled and said, “Actually, I need to pick up some medicine for my grandma at the hospital. I’ll drive Mr. Tyrone there.”

Tyrone asked Vivienne, “Didn’t you pick up my medicine when you stopped by the hospital earlier?”

Vivienne answered smoothly, “I was going to, but once I heard you’d left with your injuries, we got so worried we forgot all about it.”

Jasmine spoke up with clear irritation. “Mr. Tyrone, what’s that supposed to mean?”

Tyrone replied, “Just asking.”

The mood grew tense.

Brad quickly stepped in, “Ms. Guinevere, let’s not argue. I’m stronger, so it’s easier for me to get Tyrone back to the hospital.”

But before he could move, Edwin’s voice rang out with a warning. “Brad, you stay. Let Ms.

Guinevere take Tyrone to the hospital.”

Edwin had spoken, so Brad, a guest, had no choice but to let go of Tyrone.

Vivienne walked over and waited at Tyrone’s side, but he didn’t move.

He glanced around the room, then turned to Vivienne and said firmly, “Ms. Guinevere, this engagement was my grandfather and father’s idea. I never agreed to it.”

Tyrone’s words changed the mood in the room instantly.

Edwin and Ralph’s faces fell, and Vivienne’s parents looked just as shocked.

Hugo shot up from his chair and slammed the table. “This engagement was agreed upon by both families. If you didn’t want it, why didn’t you say so sooner?”

Jasmine lifted her chin. “The Winters might be the top family in Vleka, but Mr. Tyrone’s cheating was an open secret. It ended in divorce. My daughter focused on her career and always. carried herself well. The Guineveres never looked down on you for being divorced, but now you look down on my daughter?”

Ralph and Virginia looked uncomfortable. Edwin stayed silent.

The tension in the room thickened even more.

Vivienne tried to calm her parents. “Dad, Mom, you should respect Mr. Tyrone’s decision. Let’s not make it bigger than it is.”

As Tyrone quietly left the room, Vivienne hurried after him.

Brad and Raine exchanged a look and started to follow, but Edwin’s gaze stopped them in their tracks.

Ralph, meanwhile, beamed at Vivienne. “Now that’s how a real heiress should act. Vivienne’s so gracious and understanding.”

A few minutes later, Tyrone and Vivienne were in the car.

As soon as the door closed, Vivienne said, “Sorry, I forgot my bag. Wait for me a second, Mr. Winter.”

She got out and returned to the Winters‘ living room just in time to overhear her parents blaming the Winters.

“He’s about to get engaged, and yet he got hurt saving his ex–wife. Now, he’s saying that he didn’t agree to this engagement.

Chapter 3181 Never Agreed to the Engagement

“What exactly is he up to?”

Vivienne spoke up right away. “Dad, Mom, this just shows that Mr. Winter is loyal and responsible.”

Hearing this, Ralph and Edwin hurried to agree, showering Vivienne with praise.

Vivienne turned to Edwin. “Mr. Edwin, since Mr. Winter has made up his mind, please don’t force him. Let him do what he wants.”

Edwin asked, “You’re saying you want to call off the engagement?”

Vivienne smiled. “Mr. Edwin, I’ve always admired Mr. Tyrone’s business sense. If this engagement works out, it would be great for both our families.

“But such things can’t be forced. I’d rather see the Winters and Guineveres getting along, not fighting each other. Mr. Edwin, maybe you should focus on smoothing out things at home before you discuss this with Mr. Tyrone again. If you keep pushing, it’ll just backfire.”

With Edwin and Ralph both nodding, Vivienne added, “Mr. Ralph, just leave the rest to me.”

She grabbed her bag and left, saying that Tyrone was waiting in the car.

Behind her, Edwin and Ralph couldn’t stop singing her praises.

Virginia sat quietly beside Ralph, never saying a word.

She realized Vivienne was even smarter and more rational than she’d expected.

If a marriage of convenience was all they wanted, Vivienne would be perfect.

But her son was stubborn. His heart was still with Aella, and he wouldn’t give up on her any time soon.
