Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 The Ex-Wife Who Stole the Spotlight

Jenny snapped. “I have a name, you know! Say one more word and I’ll rip your mouth apart!”

Her voice was shrill and furious. Henry ran forward, hugging Aclla’s leg protectively. “Hey, lady, didn’t your dad ever teach you that yelling at people is rude?”

“You-”

Jenny choked on her words, silenced by a child.

Aella bent down and pulled Henry into her arms, her face cold as she looked at Jenny.

“Ms. Townsend, you can call me Ms. Reid or Dr. Reid. But if you call me ‘Mr. Winter’s ex-wife’ again, I won’t be polite next time.”

She was who she was-no one’s accessory.

Not far away, Tyrone watched her take back her dignity in front of everyone, her tone steady and proud.

For a moment, fear crept into his heart-fear that they might never have anything to do with each other again.

Jenny hadn’t managed to get the upper hand, and Aella had embarrassed her in front of everyone. Her face went pale with humiliation.

Raine arrived fashionably late in a fitted black dress that screamed confidence.

“Aella, why waste time talking to people like her? If she dares to mouth off again, just slap her.”

Jenny’s friend immediately shot back, “This is Aurelia’s birthday party. Who do you think you are, acting so arrogant?”

Raine’s aura was fierce and untamed.

She strode up to the woman who’d just spoken, looked her over with contempt, and sneered, “Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?”

Jenny didn’t dare provoke her. She grabbed her two friends and stormed off in embarrassment.

Brad gently stopped Raine. “Alright, let it go.”

Aella could feel Tyrone’s eyes on her and frowned, but she kept her composure.

Just then, the Hills’ princess, Aurelia, appeared in a sparkling tiara and a dreamy gown. She

smiled brightly. “Daniel, is this the Dr. Reid you always talk about?”

Daniel Hill immediately corrected her. “Mind your manners. Call her Aella.”

Aurelia linked arms with Aella and grinned. “Aella, you’re so pretty!”

Aella smiled and handed her the gift box. “Thank you, Aurelia. Happy birthday.”

Aurelia opened it for a peek, her eyes lighting up before she shut it quickly. “Wow, you have such great taste. I love it!”

Aella glanced at Mason. “It was Mr. Fulford’s idea. He has great style.”

Sayer pouted. “When did you two go shopping for gifts together? Why didn’t you invite me?”

Everyone turned toward Tyrone, who stood silently, his expression tight.

Mason explained calmly, “Don’t misunderstand, Mr. Locke. I just ran into Dr. Reid by chance.”

The others accepted that, but Tyrone didn’t.

He stood in the crowd, his eyes fixed on Aella, his possessiveness plain as day.

Aurelia turned to Sayer with a playful smile. “Who’s this handsome guy? He’s so cute!”

Sayer dodged her teasing touch. “Hey, princess, talk all you want, but no touching!”

At 8p.m., the dinner officially began.

Tyrone stayed upstairs with Lysander, but his eyes never left Aella.

Downstairs, Aella stood beside Mason and Sayer, scanning the guests.

There were a lot of people tonight, but one face was missing-Victor .

Aella leaned toward Mason. “Mr. Fulford, have you heard from Victor lately?”

He shook his head, and Aella’s brow furrowed.

Victor wouldn’t talk. His assistant, Norman, kept his mouth shut too. Tyrone definitely knew something, but he refused to tell her.
