Mason said, “Of course I have a reason.”

Seeing Tyrone’s face darken, he added, “I just want Dr. Reid to be happy. If she’s happy, my son’s happy. And if my son’s happy, I’m happy, too.”
Tyrone stood up, ready to leave. “My wife and I have been together for over 20 years. It’s not something you can just walk away from. If you really want to go head–to–head with the Winter Group’s legal team, then let’s see how that goes.”
Mason understood the warning behind Tyrone’s words but still politely walked him to the door.
After leaving the law firm, Noel carefully asked, “Mr. Winter, what did Mr. Fulford say?”
Once inside the car, Tyrone loosened his collar, clearly irritated.
Mason had only known Aella for a short time, yet he was already willing to offend the Winters for her.
Tyrone leaned back and closed his eyes. “How’s the progress with Zera?”
Noel answered carefully, “No progress yet.”
Tyrone frowned. “Head back to the office.”
For the next few days, Tyrone kept himself busy with work.
But he still kept an eye on Aella.
He noticed she had been acting weird lately–like she was scared of him.
She went to work and came home on time, stayed quiet, and followed the rules. Everything else was fine, except she wouldn’t let him into the main bedroom or talk to him.
She was on guard against him, as if he were a murderer.
Early Friday morning, Tyrone waited until Aella came out of her room.
He stopped her and said, “You’re off tomorrow. I’ll go with you to visit your parents and bring them some health supplements.”
Aella refused right away. “My parents don’t want to see you.”
Without thinking, Tyrone wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close.

Aella tried to push him away, but when she met his sharp, dangerous gaze, her heart started pounding.
Just as her thoughts were spinning, Tyrone’s phone rang.
He let her go and turned to answer it.
Aella could clearly hear Noel’s voice over the phone. “Mr. Winter, the ten–billion–dollar deal you just closed got snatched by someone else.”
Aella muttered under her breath, “Who’s strong enough to steal such a huge deal from Winter Group?”
Tyrone turned around, his face dark.
At ten that morning, in the Winter Group CEO’s office.
Noel reported, “It was someone from Mr. Vic’s side.”
Tyrone tapped his fingers against the desk and said, “Get the car ready. We’re going to Webster
Manor.”
Noel didn’t move and said, “Mr. Ralph and Mrs. Winter are already at Webster Manor.”
Tyrone leaned back in his office chair, exhausted.
After a short pause, he said, “Get ready. We’re flying to Mudrus this afternoon.”
He had to land that project.
At the same time, at Webster Manor.
Leland heard that his own grandson had maliciously snatched a ten–billion–dollar project from the Winters. He wasn’t completely shocked.
He turned to Victor. “Is this true?”
Victor sat in his wheelchair, eyes lowered.
As he rolled the prayer beads in his hand, he nodded. “The younger generation’s getting too cocky. As his elder, I couldn’t just stand by. I helped Mr. Ralph teach him a lesson.”
Ralph, not wanting to offend the Websters, said, “Mr. Vic, if you’ve got something to say, just say it. You may have issues with the McCarthy elders, but our family never wronged you, right?”
Victor looked up. “Anyone who wrongs my personal doctor … wrongs me.”
