The driver opened the car door. Virginia turned back and looked at Zera. “If that day ever comes,” she said coldly, “I’d love to see whether he would turn on his mother for you.”
Zera froze. She hadn’t expected that, after Tyrone showed the DNA report to his family, they still refused to accept her and her son.
On top of that, Virginia actually had the nerve to threaten her.
Zera watched Virginia step into the car and leave. Tears spilled over as she grabbed her phone and called Tyrone.
That evening, Tyrone returned to the estate.
Virginia and Raine were in the living room arranging flowers.
“Mom,” Tyrone asked as he walked in, “why did you go to see Zera?”
Virginia didn’t look up from her work. “And what did she tell you this time?”
Tyrone hesitated. He said nothing.
Raine spoke with a mocking tone. “Let me guess. That woman called you again, crying her out?”

Tyrone sat down on the couch, staring at the messy bouquet soaking in the water bucket. His chest tightened with frustration. “Mom, I’ve made myself clear,” he said. “My life is my business. Can you please stop interfering?”
Virginia wiped her hands. She opened the drawer of the coffee table and threw a small voice recorder at him.
Her expression was serious–stricter than he’d ever seen before. “You better pay full attention. Listen to what’s on that recorder before you say another word.”
Before Tyrone could reply, Virginia continued, “I’ve decided. If you really want to divorce Aella, I won’t stop you.”
She reached into her bag, pulled out a bank card, and tossed it on the table.
“The debts you once paid for her family? I covered those for Aella. That money came from my dowry, not a single dollar from this family. Sign the divorce papers and let her go.”
Tyrone’s face darkened. He pushed the card back onto the table but picked up the recorder.

Chapter 49 The Lost Recording
“Mom,” he said tightly, “what kind of mother pushes her son to divorce?”
Raine jumped in, her tone sharp. “Since that woman and her kid came back, everything you’ve done has been about forcing Aella to pay off debts and step aside for that homewrecker, hasn’t it?”
Tyrone looked at his mother, then at his sister. He said nothing, his face stormy, and walked out of the estate.
Late that night, Tyrone drove back to the villa he shared with Aella.
He checked his phone. The message he had sent that morning was still unanswered. It was midnight now.
They had known each other since childhood. He had given Aella her very first cell phone.
He still remembered how happy she was, throwing her arms around him and planting a kiss on
his cheek.
Tyrone’d acted annoyed, warning her to behave, but she’d just laughed and set a special ringtone for his messages.
From that day on, she always texted back right away.
Now, for the first time, he knew what it felt like to wait, and it was torture.
He reached into his pocket and realized the voice recorder was still in his car.
As he went downstairs to get it, his phone rang. It was Zera. Her voice trembled through the line. “Tyrone, my son’s running a high fever. The small clinic nearby won’t take him in. Can you please help me get him to a hospital?”
Tyrone didn’t waste a second. “Don’t worry. I’m on my way.”
By the time Orson’s fever finally went down, it was already two or three in the morning.
In the hospital room, Zera looked worn out and guilty. She gently pushed Tyrone toward the door. “You should go home and get some rest. I only called you tonight because I didn’t know what else to do. Please go explain things to your wife so she doesn’t misunderstand again.”
Tyrone didn’t tell her the truth–that Aella had already moved out and was staying with her
parents.
When he got back to the car, he searched for the voice recorder, but it was nowhere to be found.
He picked up his phone, ready to call Zera, then stopped himself. Then he put the phone

He must have dropped it while helping her in the rush.
