Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 234

Tyrone changed the subject and told Noel, “Follow up tomorrow on merging the two tech teams. Promote Maxine as the new team lead.”

Noel hesitated. “Mr. Winter, Maxine’s only been full–time for less than a year. Once the groups merge, she’ll be managing over a hundred people. You think she can handle that?”

Tyrone sent Noel a photo from his phone. “That’s Maxine’s father–Brigham Herrera, core AI chip engineer at Ressovia. His contract ends in a week. Tomorrow, tell HR to draft an offer. Three days from now, have the vice president accompany Maxine to Ressovia. Bring him back, whatever it takes.”

It clicked for Noel. He couldn’t help but admire his boss.

No wonder Tyrone had personally insisted on Maxine Herrera’s promotion among all the interns.

The real goal wasn’t her; it was her father.

He couldn’t help but admire his boss again. When it came to recruiting top talent, Tyrone was as sharp as ever.

By midnight, Tyrone finally got home. The entire house was dark.

He went up to the main bedroom and tried the doorknob. It was locked from the inside.

Tyrone leaned against the door, exhausted. He closed his eyes in despair.

The next morning, Jenny showed up at Zera’s hotel to ask for her money back.

Zera smiled nervously and rejected, “Jenny, don’t worry. Tyrone gave me a check for 60 million dollars yesterday, but I left in such a hurry I forgot to take it. I’ll pay you back in a few days.”

Jenny asked suspiciously, “You already have a kid with Mr. Winter. What’s going on with his family? Even if they don’t like you, how can they ignore their grandchild?”

Zera forced a laugh and said, “Tyrone hasn’t gotten a divorce yet. He’s such a catch. It’s normal for his wife to refuse to let go.”

Jenny crossed her arms, irritated. “Whatever. You said you’d only need the money overnight. I’ll give you a few more days, but you’d better pay me back fast.”

As soon as Jenny left, Zera’s phone rang.

She picked up and rushed out of the hotel.

Outside a small diner on the south side of the city, Shirley was waiting, and she wasn’t alone. Julian and Daphne stood beside her, blocking Zera’s path.

Shirley scolded, “Why do you owe people so much money?”

Daphne grabbed Zera’s bag and snapped, “Back then, you were always chasing rich men to climb up the social ladder! We spent everything we had on you. While you were abroad for six years, we helped you to take care of your mother! You just came back, but you are already drowning in debt and dragging us down with you!”

Julian pointed a finger at her. “If you want to play homewrecker, that’s fine, just don’t drag us into it! You can ruin your reputation, but we still have kids to raise. They’ll need to marry one day!”

Zera’s head was spinning as her mother and sister–in–law screamed at her from both sides.

Finally, she shoved them away, shouting, “Will you two just stop already?!”

She looked at their faces, and all she felt was hurt and heartbreak.

Zera glared at Julian and snapped, “Six years ago, if I hadn’t secretly given you money, would you have even been able to buy a house in Vleka and send your kids to school?”

She pointed at him, her voice trembling with anger. “Everything you eat, wear, and live–and your kids‘ tuition–all of it came from me!

“I know you all think I’m shameless, that I was trying to climb higher,” she said bitterly. “But wasn’t I just trying to make sure our family lived better? That we didn’t have to stay poor forever?”

Daphne screamed back, waving her arms. “Don’t act like the victim, Zera! We had to move back here because of you! You caused all this! You better give us money to settle down, or I swear I’ll ruin you!”

People passing by started to stare. Zera clenched her jaw, forcing herself to stay calm. She pulled out her phone and transferred 100,000 dollars to them.

“Here,” she said coldly. “Take this for now. Once Tyrone gives me the check, I’ll send you more.”

Looking at their greedy faces, Zera warned, “You’d better remember this. If I go down, you go down too. If I’m okay, you’ll be okay. But if I fall, you’re finished.”

She warned, “The Winters already know about Orson’s true identity. I’m barely holding it together. Don’t make things worse for me. Even if someone holds a dagger to your throat, you
