Just as Aella was about to walk away, Zera spoke up again. “Tyrone promised me he’d never let you get pregnant with his child. That’s why I figured you might need the box, I thought I was doing you a favor.”

Aella turned back and said, deliberately provoking her, “He did pin me down in bed last night, but he didn’t use that. I even told him to divorce me and make things official with you and your kid, but he flat–out refused. Maybe try whispering a little harder in his ear, get him to hurry up and divorce me so you can finally move up in the world.”

Jealousy flashed in Zera’s eyes. “Ms. Reid, you don’t need to get under my skin. Tyrone’s only holding off on the divorce for the bigger picture. We love each other. We understand each other. For Tyrone, my son and I are willing to go our whole lives without a title.”

Just then, a line of sleek black cars pulled up to the curb.

Aella’s brow furrowed when she saw Tyrone step out of one.

Zera quickly bent down to grab the box off the ground and stuffed it back into her bag. She smiled and walked up to him. “Tyrone, what are you doing here?”

Tyrone’s eyes locked on the clear handprint across Zera’s cheek. He stared for a few seconds, then said flatly, “I came to pick up my wife.”

Behind him, a car window slowly rolled down.

Zera caught a glimpse of Virginia sitting inside and instantly panicked.

Flustered, she rushed to explain herself. “Tyrone, I just came to grab some medicine and ran into your wife. I only said hello, that’s all.”

Without waiting for a response, Zera made up an excuse and hurried off.

Tyrone walked up to Aella, watching her face closely. “My parents are here. They want to meet with yours.”

Aella’s eyes followed Zera’s fleeing figure. “You’re not even gonna ask who slapped her?”

Tyrone frowned. “Aella, I’m talking about us.”

Aella didn’t hesitate. “If this is about the divorce, save it. If you agree, we can go sign the papers right now. If not, I’ll see you in court.”

Tyrone’s expression darkened. He lowered his voice. “My grandpa’s here too, you know how he

is.”

Aella lowered her gaze.

Winter Group was a publicly listed company, and her marriage to Tyrone had been officially announced.

Now that she was moving forward with legal divorce proceedings, Tyrone’s cheating scandal would inevitably come to light.

Edwin, who cared deeply about the Winters‘ reputation and the future of Winter Group, would definitely step in and try to stop it.

It was clear now, there was no avoiding this meeting between the two families.

Aella knew Edwin and Ralph weren’t coming with good intentions, so she quickly called Warren.

Ten minutes later, Aella opened the door and let the Winters into her home.

Their 3,000–square–foot government resettlement apartment felt cramped the moment the Winters stepped into the living room.

Miriam gently patted Aella’s shoulder in reassurance, while Warren invited the Winters‘ elders to take a seat.

Tyrone walked straight over to Clyde, his eyes landing on Clyde’s left wrist. “How’s it healing? Do you need to go back for a check–up?”

Clyde shot Tyrone a hostile look and instinctively reached for a small stool, but Aella stopped him.

She pushed Clyde back toward his room. “They’re here to talk about the divorce. Just stay in your room and let us handle it.”

Clyde gave a small nod, holding back his emotions.

Aella closed the door behind her, gave Tyrone a quick glance at the doorway, and then turned toward the living room.

Tyrone’s eyes stayed locked on her back, his expression unreadable. Silently, he followed her into the room.

In the small living room, the two families sat across from each other.

Aella sat next to Miriam, while Tyrone took the single armchair beside her.

Edwin gave Virginia a look, and she took the hint to speak. “We’re here today to talk about the

divorce between our two kids.”

She hesitated, then forced herself to keep going. “Our families go way back. Tyrone and Aella grew up together, they’ve shared so many years and so much history. It would be a real shame for it to end like this.”

She gave a polite, strained smile. “We didn’t raise our son right, and Aella’s the one who suffered for it. So we’re here to apologize, sincerely. But more than anything, we wanted to hear what you think, and maybe ask if Aella could give Tyrone one more chance.”

Miriam glanced at Aella beside her, then answered without hesitation. “No need to try. We fully support Aella’s decision to divorce.”

The moment those words left her mouth, every elder from the Winters‘ side looked visibly displeased.

Tyrone stayed quiet, his deep eyes locked on Aella’s face, studying her reaction.

Aella sat still beside Miriam, silent and staring down at her lap.

If Virginia had come alone, maybe Aella would’ve believed they were here to make peace.

But Ralph and Edwin showing up? That was never a good sign.

Sure enough, Ralph’s tone turned harsh as soon as he opened his mouth. “Back when your family went bankrupt, if my son hadn’t stepped in, no matter how many kids you sold off, you still wouldn’t have cleared that debt.”

Aella couldn’t take it and she stood up abruptly, but Miriam quickly pulled her back down.

Ralph kept going. “A fallen heiress marrying into the Winters? You don’t actually think that wasn’t marrying up, do you?”

Warren suddenly stood up, eyes blazing. “Sure, Aella marrying into the Winters was marrying up, but don’t get it twisted. We didn’t beg you to take our daughter!”
