Miriam turned back to glance at Tyrone and Zera, her face cold. “No need, Mrs. Winter,” she said flatly.
The older couple crossed the street without another word.
Raine spun around, anger burning in her eyes when she saw Zera standing next to Tyrone. “Mom! Tyrone’s with that woman–right in front of Aclla’s family!” she shouted.
Zera spotted Virginia and instinctively stepped back. “Mrs. Winter.”
Virginia didn’t hesitate. Her hand whipped out and landed a loud slap across Zera’s face.
Zera screamed and threw herself into Tyrone’s arms for protection.
Tyrone moved in front of her, shielding her. “Mom, what are you doing?”
Virginia glared at him, disappointment clouding her eyes. “Teaching her how to behave.”
Raine lunged forward and tried to grab Zera. “You little tramp, what are you hiding for?”
Tyrone caught Raine’s wrist and pushed her aside.
Raine stomped her foot, nearly in tears. “You betrayed Aella for this woman, and now you’re pushing me away because of her too. What kind of spell did she put on you?”
Tyrone’s face turned stormy. “Raine, stop making a scene.”
Virginia pulled Raine back and gave Tyrone a sharp look. “I want to see if you’d really turn your back on your own mother for this woman.”
Tyrone reached out, ready to protect Zera again, but Raine blocked him.
Virginia said nothing more. She just kept slapping.
The sound of her hand striking Zera’s face rang out again and again, drawing a crowd of onlookers.
Virginia had always been gentle and well–mannered. Even when Ralph cheated, she never lowered herself to hit the other woman.
But today, she wasn’t holding back.
Zera was completely helpless in front of her. She couldn’t even get a word out.

With Tyrone and the crowd watching, she didn’t dare fight back or curse. She only dodged and begged for mercy.
Finally, Virginia grew tired and let go.
Zera collapsed onto the pavement, trembling all over, clutching her head as she burst into
tears.
Virginia pointed at Tyrone. “Do you even know? Six years ago, this woman took a 60–million- dollar check from your grandpa, dumped you, and fled overseas the very same night!“”
Tyrone froze, his pupils contracting in shock.
He stared at Zera, disbelief written all over his face.
Seeing his reaction, Virginia immediately understood.
He must never have heard that recording she had kept.
Zera shook her head, sobbing as she crawled toward him. “Tyrone, it’s not like that. Please, let me explain!”
Tyrone slowly came back to his senses.
He forced himself to stay calm, bent down, and helped her up. “We’ll talk somewhere else.”
They were standing at a busy intersection with people filming.
He didn’t want the next morning’s headlines dragging the Winter name through the mud.
Virginia shook her head in disappointment, pulled Raine into the car, and drove off.
Tyrone led Zera to his own car.
Zera barely had time to fix her messy hair. Crying, she started to explain, “Tyrone, I did take your grandfather’s 60 million dollars, but I didn’t want to. He threatened my family’s lives and forced me to.”
Tyrone’s face darkened. “You’ve been back for so long. Why didn’t you ever mention this?”
Zera’s voice rose defensively. “He’s your grandfather, the person you respect most. How could I say something like that?”
Tyrone stared at her silently, his lips pressed into a thin line.
Panic welled up inside her as the silence stretched.
