Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 The Woman No One Dares to Cross

#8 Fears

Six years ago, when Zera was dating Tyrone, she secretly hired someone to dig into his family background.

She already knew who Lara was, but Lara didn’t know her.

Zera bent down and whispered something to her son. The little boy ran straight toward Aella and Lara.

He called out, “Hi, Aella!”

Then, smiling sweetly, he added, “Hi, Great Aunt Lara!”

Lara froze for a second. She looked at the boy and shifted toward Aella in confusion.

Aella gave a calm introduction. “Lara, this is Tyrone’s son.”

Zera quickly stepped forward and greeted, “Nice to meet you, Lara.”

But Lara’s smile vanished instantly. She understood everything in a heartbeat. “You know me?” she asked.

Zera forced a nervous smile and explained, “I’ve heard Tyrone mention you a lot. I’ve seen your photo on his phone. You’re easy to recognize with your elegant and distinguished look.”

Lara’s expression turned solemn. She said, “Ms. Caldwell, it’s better not to claim family ties where there aren’t any. You may know me, but I certainly don’t know you.”

She said a few quiet words to Aella and walked away.

Zera’s hands clenched at her sides. Embarrassment flushed her cheeks.

She glared at Aella and hissed, “You told her something about me, didn’t you?”

Aella just gave her a glance and walked away.

Lara had been a legend among the socialites in her youth.

Years ago, to escape an arranged marriage, she dumped her cheating fiancé and secretly got pregnant by another man.

On the day of her wedding, she showed up holding her baby and exposed her fiancé’s affairs. Lara played videos of him making love with other women right there at the ceremony. The wedding turned into a mess.

*8 Pearls

She called off the marriage on the spot. Her child’s father, a powerful man, spent six years. winning her favor before she finally agreed to marry him.

After they got married, she gave birth to four children in three years. She had four children in total and had her husband’s family completely under her thumb.

A woman that bold and strong wasn’t someone you wanted to cross. Anyone who tried to play games in front of Lara only ended up humiliating themselves.

That night, Aella went back to her parents’ house.

She brought the gifts Lara had sent for her family and decided to stay the night.

Tyrone, knowing he’d pushed her too far, didn’t bother her again.

Five days passed in a flash.

After work, Aella walked out of the hospital and saw Tyrone waiting by her car.

He walked up slowly, trying to read her expression.

“I came here to pick you up,” he said.

Aella hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The five days apart had helped her avoid his tests.

If she could just hold on until the end of the month-get the abortion done-everything would be fine.

They drove home in silence.

The house looked spotless. Every room was perfectly arranged. Roses of all colors filled the dining table, the bar, the living room-even the bathroom counter.

The bedspread was her favorite color. On the nightstand sat a new framed photo of her and Tyrone smiling together.

Aella ignored the little romantic setup Tyrone had prepared and went straight into the bathroom.

She dragged it out as long as she could. After nearly half an hour, she finally came out. Tyrone was on the phone in the bedroom.

The moment he saw her, he quickly ended the call.

Aella noticed the hesitation in his eyes-the guilt, the flicker of uncertainty. She didn’t need to

ask who had called. She already knew.

She lowered her eyes to mask her disappointment. Aella sat at her vanity and began applying her skincare.

Tyrone walked up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders.

Leaning down, he met her eyes through the mirror. “Noel called,” he said. “Orson got into a fight at school and hurt another kid. The other family refuses to settle.”

Aella didn’t respond. “I’ll go take care of it,” Tyrone added softly. “I’ll be back soon.”

Aella pumped some essential oil into her palm and rubbed it between her hands. “Is that a notice,” she said flatly, “or are you asking for my opinion?”

Tyrone’s hands tensed on her shoulders.

He said, “If you don’t want me to go, I’ll stay.”

She gave a dry laugh. “That’s your flesh and blood, Tyrone. If I stopped you from going, I’d probably get struck by lightning.”

She stood and brushed his hands away, ready for bed.

Tyrone hesitated; he walked up to her and pulled her into his arms.

He pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I’ll be right back,” he murmured.

As soon as he left, Aella locked the bedroom door behind him.
