Chapter 213 The Deal with Virginia
Zera lowered her head, clenching her hands tightly by her sides.
Her son wasn’t Tyrone’s child at all. What right did she have to make a scene with him?
She stayed silent for a long time, then put on an emotional act.
“Mrs. Winter,” she put up an act and said, “I can’t just fight with Tyrone and ignore his feelings. I truly love him. I’m willing to endure any hardship for his sake. I only worry about my son-he’s growing up without a family, without a father’s recognition. I don’t want him to grow up being called a kid without a dad.”
She watched Zera’s performance calmly, not saying a word until Zera finished crying. “No matter what, Orson is still my grandson. We won’t turn our backs on you two.”
Zera’s heart fluttered with excitement at that promise.
Virginia went on, “I’ll talk to Tyrone and make sure he ends the marriage properly. You and your son will get the respect you deserve. But you need to do your part too and do what I told you.”
Zera nodded eagerly. “Mrs. Winter, you can trust me. As long as you mean well for me and my son, I’ll listen to you.”
Virginia gave her a long look. She calmly reached into her bag, pulled out a document, and slid it across the table.
Zera cautiously opened it-it was a house rental contract.
Confusion and caution flashed in her eyes. “Mrs. Winter, what is this for?”
Virginia spoke with her usual grace and composure.
“This is one of my private properties downtown. Not even my son knows about it,” she said.
“You’ve been blacklisted online for selling fake goods. It’s unsafe for you to stay where you are. Pack up and move downtown with Orson.”
Zera’s eyes flickered.
That old hag kept claiming Orson was her grandson. She also knew they had nowhere else to go. Then why not just give her the house? Why make her rent it?
Virginia rested her folded hands on the edge of the table. She said lightly, “Don’t doubt my intentions. I’m doing this for your own good.”

Zera hid her irritation behind a polite tone. “Mrs. Winter, I still don’t understand what you really mean.”
Virginia raised an eyebrow. “Zera, you come from an ordinary family. You don’t have an impressive job or education. Even though you gave birth to the heir of our family, the truth is, your background is far below my son’s.”
Zera bit her lip hard.
That old hag was still looking down on her after everything that happened.
Virginia went on, “Tyrone always tells us you’re pure, kind, independent, and not materialistic. I don’t want to destroy that perfect image he has of you. I also want Edwin to see your better qualities.”
She went on. “I had pondered about this for a long time before deciding. The lease is ready for you to sign. The rent will be paid annually at market rate.”
Virginia added quickly, “But don’t worry. I’m only doing this for appearances. I won’t take your money. You and your son can live there comfortably and with dignity. No one, except me, will know that the house isn’t really rented by you.”
She smiled softly. “You’ve been struggling, yet you still refused our help. When Tyrone finds out, he’ll only feel more sympathy for you and admire you even more. He’ll see how strong and independent you are. I’ll also put in a good word for you with Edwin.”
Zera lowered her eyes, trying to hide her excitement.
So that’s what this was.
Good thing she had held back earlier and didn’t lose her temper with this old hag.
Virginia was right.
She couldn’t let those dinosaurs from the Winters think she was after their power or money.
Even though the high rental fees on the contract made her worried, Zera still gathered her courage, signed her name, and pressed her fingerprint.
After all, Virginia had already said she wouldn’t really take the money,
Once she moved downtown, she’d be one step closer to Tyrone.
Virginia took the signed contract and prepared to leave.
Zera quickly asked, “Mrs. Winter, if we move in, what about Orson’s schooling?”

Virginia stood, picking up her bag. Her smile was gentle and harmless.
“My grandson deserves the best education,” she said. “I’ll have Tyrone enroll him in a private school. You don’t need to worry about the cost.”
Zera stood there, watching Virginia walk away.
She couldn’t hide her joy. Zera wanted to scream with excitement.
