Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 That Child is Mine

The study door was soundproof. Aella stood outside and couldn’t hear a thing.

She hesitated, then gathered her courage and pushed the door open just a crack.

The moment she did, Tyrone’s furious voice burst out. “The woman I want to marry is Zera, not Aella!

“If it hadn’t been for all of you interfering, Zera and I would’ve been together long ago. You ruined her, and you destroyed my happiness!”

Aella froze at the doorway, her mind buzzing so loud she could barely think.

She staggered back step after step until her shoulders hit the cold wall behind her.

Bending over weakly, she struggled to breathe. The pain in her chest spread through her whole body.

He had held it in for so long. Now he had finally exploded.

He finally said what was buried deep inside.

He loved Zera. He wanted to marry Zera.

And he hated Edwin for tearing them apart, for robbing him of his happiness.

From the very beginning, she realized it had always been one–sided.

Aella closed her eyes in despair, as if her heart had been ripped in two.

Inside the study, Edwin sat behind his desk. Ralph and Justin stood on each side.

Across the wide desk, Tyrone faced Edwin.

His fists clenched at his sides, veins bulged on his forehead, and his bloodshot eyes locked on his grandfather. His face was dark with fury.

Ralph’s expression was just as grim. “You’re the only heir,” he said coldly. “Everything you do affects our family’s future. If your wife wants to work, she can work at our company. Otherwise, she needs to stay home, have a child, and take care of her husband. We don’t raise freeloaders here.”

Tyrone bit out each word. “Whether she works or not, whether she has kids or not, that’s between us as husband and wife. It’s none of your business.”

Ralph was about to argue again, but Edwin stopped him with a gesture.

Edwin rose to his feet, Justin rushing to steady him.

The old man walked slowly around the desk until he stood right in front of Tyrone. His tone was firm and threatening. “Six years ago, I made Zera disappear right under your nose. If I did it once, I can do it again–and this time, I’ll make sure that woman and her child vanish from this world completely.”

“Grandpa, don’t push me!” “Tyrone warned,” his voice trembling with rage.

Edwin’s voice turned cold and dangerous. “You are the heir of the Winters. I won’t let one woman and some unknown child destroy you or our company.”

Tyrone met his gaze, his voice unwavering. “That child is mine.”

The room fell silent after Tyrone’s words.

Ralph stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face. “You ungrateful fool! What on earth are you trying to do?”

Tyrone staggered back a step and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb. He said coldly, “Dad, didn’t you have an illegitimate son years ago? Why are you acting so outraged now?”

Ralph raised his hand again, but Edwin stopped him. “If you claim the boy is yours,” Edwin said coldly, “then prove it. Do a DNA test. I want the results.”

Tyrone’s voice was sharp with warning. “Grandpa, I know with one move of your hand you could make Zera and her son disappear without a trace. But hear me clearly, if anything happens to them, I’ll bury the entire family and company with them.”

Edwin’s eyes narrowed, a flash of cruelty passing through. “Fine,” he said. “If you can prove that child is yours, I’ll spare them.”

Some of the tension in Tyrone’s body loosened. “I’ll have the DNA results sent to you as soon as possible,” he said, and turned to leave.

But the moment he opened the study door, he froze. Aella stood there. Her face was pale as a sheet, and her body was trembling.

Their eyes locked.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, silent and full of despair.

Tyrone’s chest tightened.

He rushed forward to steady her weak body, his voice trembling. “Let’s go home.”
