From the corner of the second floor, Tyrone stood motionless, watching Aella’s figure fade down the hallway. He didn’t follow her.
Brad tried to talk some sense into him. “Tyrone, the divorce hearing’s in three days. Aella just made it public in front of everyone. That’s the second time she’s tossed your ring–she’s done. Let it go.”
Tyrone didn’t answer. He took the ring from Raine, slipped it into his pocket, and walked away.
Good news travels slow, but bad news spreads like wildfire.
By the next morning, every social circle was buzzing. Tyrone Winter’s Affair Exposed–Love Child Revealed, Divorce in Progress!”
Tyrone was immediately summoned back to the Winter Estate.
In the grand living room, Edwin and his parents were waiting, along with both his uncles.
Ralph was furious. “I told you to end things with that woman ages ago! You dragged it out, and now look where we are. What did you gain from this?”
Ralph’s voice got louder. “The whole upper circle’s gossiping about us. They’re all waiting to se the Winters humiliated!”
His uncles joined in. “Tyrone, you’re the head of this family. If you don’t deal with this properly, your and Winter Group’s reputation will take the hit. Think about that.”
Virginia sighed and tried to give Tyrone some advice. “Before the hearing, talk to Aella and end things peacefully.”
Tyrone sat quietly across from the elders. His lips parted slightly. “Whether I divorce her or not is my decision. Even as family, you don’t get to interfere.”
A cane struck the floor sharply.
Edwin’s cold voice followed. “Winter Group is a legacy built over generations. As heir, you can’t afford a scandal. If you don’t settle this quietly and cut her off, I’ll deal with the Reids myself. Don’t blame me then.”
Tyrone, Virginia, and Raine all stood up at once.
“Grandpa!” Raine blurted out. “The Reids are Aella’s family–they’ve done nothing wrong! You can’t go after them!”
Virginia stepped forward quickly. “Edwin, no matter what happens, Aella is still Tyrone’s wife. You should at least respect that bond.”
Edwin’s reply was sharp and cold. “This isn’t your place to speak.”
Tyrone’s gaze darkened. His voice was low, controlled. “If you lay a hand on the Reids, you’ll regret it.”
Justin helped the old man to his feet.
Edwin and Tyrone stood facing each other in tense silence for several seconds.
When Edwin finally spoke, his voice was even harsher. “Anyone who threatens your or Winter Group’s future will be eliminated. I don’t care if their last name is Caldwell or Reid.”
Tyrone’s fists tightened at his sides.
Edwin went on, “Before the hearing, make sure everything’s taken care of. Leave no loose ends. Otherwise, you’ll be the one paying the price.”
