Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 30

Brad finally gave in. “At least admit it, Zera came back for you, didn’t she?”

Finished

Tyrone corrected him. “Don’t make this sound so complicated. Zera isn’t a bad person. What we had between us is over.”

Brad stared at him like he’d lost his mind. “You know she’s your ex, and you’re willing to play stepdad–keeping her and her kid under your roof? Raising another man’s child?”

Tyrone’s face darkened.

Brad pushed further. “What is this? Six years ago you didn’t have enough fun with her, so now you’re trying to make up for it?”

Tyrone shot him a sharp, warning look. “I don’t cross lines with women. Not mentally, not physically. No matter what history I have with Zera, I won’t touch her.”

Brad clicked his tongue. “Funny. Raine told me Aella threatened to end her life, and you didn’t even flinch. And you claim Zera is your past?”

Tyrone rubbed his temple.

His sister had a big mouth. She told everyone everything.

Brad pressed on, “You’re always calling Aella dramatic and spoiled. But haven’t you noticed? She’s not the proud, untouchable heiress she once was.”

Tyrone stayed silent.

Aella had changed after marrying him.

She had become clingier, softer, even gentle at times.

But deep down, he didn’t believe her stubborn, reckless nature had truly disappeared.

When Tyrone returned to the hospital room, the maid was helping Zera with her meal.

He pulled out his phone and told her to open her payment app. After transferring her full month’s salary, he said, “Starting tomorrow, we won’t need you here.”

The maid froze, baffled.

She stood by the bed, flustered. “Mr. Winter, Ms. Caldwell, if I did something wrong, please tell me. I’ll change.”

Tyrone lowered his eyes, hiding whatever he felt. “You’re not suited for this job. Pack your things and go.”

The maid turned to Zera for help, but Zera lowered her head, too afraid to speak up.

Tyrone was the one who hired the maid. If he wanted her gone, what could she say?

The truth was, Zera had been very happy with the maid. Just yesterday, she had mentioned it to Tyrone, and he had even promised to raise her pay next month.

Why fire her so suddenly?

Then it hit Zera–Raine.

That night when Raine came to cause trouble, the maid had stepped in and said something out of line.

Raine must have run to Tyrone with it. That was why he dismissed her.

Zera hadn’t expected Tyrone to protect his family so fiercely.

From now on, she realized, she would need to find a way to get along with Raine.

Zera was smart enough not to ask questions, and Tyrone offered no explanation.

After the maid left, the hospital room fell into silence.

Tyrone seemed distracted, and Zera carefully spoke up. “Your wife is upset with you. She even told her coworkers that you and I are the real couple. Don’t you think I should apologize to her properly?”

Tyrone’s voice remained calm. “No. That’s not necessary.”

Zera tried again. “Your wife works at this hospital. If she sees you taking care of me, she’ll be upset and cause another scene. Starting tomorrow, you shouldn’t come. Just hire a nurse to look after me.”

Tyrone didn’t argue.

He said, “Zera, about what happened–I apologize on behalf of my sister and my wife. I’ll have someone renovate your place. For now, stay here in the hospital.”

Then Tyrone’s tone hardened. “I know you’ve been wronged, but I’ll say it again. Without my permission, you must not see my wife.”

Zera rushed to explain. “Tyrone, I only wanted to apologize. I didn’t mean anything else.”

Chapter 30 The Past Isnt Over

“Even an apology is not allowed,” Tyrone said firmly.

As long as the two women didn’t meet, there would be no new conflict.

Aella was proud. Unless someone provoked her, she wouldn’t even notice Zera.
