Chapter 230 Paper and Debt
Virginia laughed softly. “You claimed I promised you. Do you have proof?”
Zera’s body trembled violently. She bit her lip hard.
She had fallen for her trick.

Virginia’s voice went cold. “It’s all on paper. I won’t take a penny more, and I won’t take a penny less. You and your son need to move out tonight.”
“I know you don’t have that kind of money,” she added. “So before I came, I already had people check on your family. Your purse and jewelry will cover part of it. The rest of your family can pay.”
Panic flared in Zera’s eyes. “You can’t go to my family!” she snapped.
Virginia sneered coldly. “Your family raised a good daughter. You sold your body to support two nephews‘ schooling. Of course, I need to help you and make this public. Let your family share the spotlight and be proud of your achievement.”
Zera ground her teeth and threatened, “No matter what, I’m Tyrone’s beloved,” she hissed. “Aren’t you afraid your son will hate
your son will hate you for this?”
Virginia gave her a cold look. “Whether I even want to call him my son is still up for debate. Why would I care if he hates me?”
Zera froze, staring at her in disbelief.
Virginia leaned closer, her tone suddenly sharp. “Edwin already knows the truth about your son. If you want to stay alive, you’d better find a way to survive.”
She gave a look at the bodyguards, then walked away.
Thirty minutes later, everything valuable Zera owned was gone,
Her phone buzzed nonstop. First her mom, then her brother, Julian Caldwell, then her sister- in–law, Daphne Caldwell, Zera had a mental breakdown. She snapped and slammed the phone against the floor, shattering it.
The sound of her son crying behind her was irritating.
She stormed over, roughly grabbed the boy, and dragged him into the bathroom.
She pressed his neck and shoved him toward the toilet. After that, she forcibly twisted his small body.

The boy screamed in pain and begged, “Mom, please don’t hit me. I’ll be good.”
Zera’s eyes were bloodshot. Anger twisted her face into something dangerous.
She pinched her son and hissed through her teeth, “You useless brat. You can’t make anyone like you. What good are you? If I’d known you’d be so useless, I should never have kept you. You’re just dead weight.”
Zera had fallen for Virginia’s bait. Someone had framed her for selling knockoffs. She’d lost her job. For more than a month the internet had turned on her. Her reputation was ruined.
Someone had thrown paint on her rented house. Her car was smashed. People had blocked the school gate when she went to pick up her son. Even her mother had gotten dragged down into this. Shirley had broken her leg and was now staying at her brother’s house.
Now that old hag had taken the last thing Zera had. She’d cut off every option and driven Zera and her family to the edge.

Aella smiled lightly. “If he really can’t change it, I don’t mind being his godmother.”
Before she could finish, Mason nodded firmly. “Then that’s settled.”
Aella was taken aback by his decision. “Wait, what?”
She stared at him in bewilderment.
Mason explained himself embarrassingly. “Dr. Reid, you’re the only person in three years Henry has ever warmed up to. When you were away these past few days, he actually spoke to me–the first time in years. He asked to go look for you. I just thought—”
Before he could finish, Aella said kindly, “You don’t have to explain, Mr. Fulford. You’re a good father. I understand. If being his godmother helps him heal, then so be it.”
Mason noticed the sweat on her forehead and quickly took the boy from her arms. “I didn’t expect you to be so open–minded, Dr. Reid. On Henry’s behalf, thank you.”
Aella smiled faintly. She didn’t argue.
Typical lawyer. He knows exactly what to say.
As they turned toward the main hospital building, Aella heard someone call her name.
She stopped and turned around. Tyrone was standing a few steps away, holding a small paper bag. He walked up and handed it to her. “You didn’t answer your phone, so I brought your medicine over myself.”
Aella took the bag without a word.
Beside her, Mason politely said hi to him. “Mr. Winter, may I ask? What’s your relationship with Dr. Reid?”
