From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27

“Isabella, come here,” Hayden called out to her.

Isabella looked up. “What is it?”

“Everyone has seen the video. We wrongly accused you back then. You

didn’t push Bianca–we misunderstood you.”

Isabella paused slightly in her steps.

Back then, she had cried her eyes out in desperation, fighting tooth

and nail to get the hospital surveillance footage, determined to prove

her innocence. But Tobias wouldn’t even give her a chance.

She had wanted the Taylor family to know that she wasn’t some

vicious person, that she hadn’t pushed Bianca, that she hadn’t hurt

her out of jealousy.

Back then, she cared so much about what the Taylor family thought

of her. But what happened? She never got the chance to clear her

name.

Now that her heart had died, these people came to tell her they misunderstood.

She raised her eyebrows indifferently. “Got it.”

With that, she turned to go upstairs.

Tobias watched her retreating figure, his brow furrowing slightly.

He couldn’t help but speak up, “Isabella, I didn’t deliberately prevent you from seeing the surveillance. I just didn’t expect things to turn

out this way.”

Isabella turned back to look at him. “If this video hadn’t been sent

out, would you still be saying this to me now?”

“Yes,” Tobias said firmly. “I went to the security office this afternoon.

Before I received this video, I was already planning to clear your

name…”

Isabella let out a cold laugh. She looked at him without any emotion.

“That’s just your side of the story.”

“If the video hadn’t been sent to everyone’s phone, who knows–you

might have seen the surveillance and just ignored it.”

Tobias frowned. “Is that really what you think of me?”

Isabella said, “What I think doesn’t matter to you. Similarly, your

2/9

Chapter 27

opinion doesn’t matter to me either.”

This one sentence drew a clear boundary between them.

Tobias froze, then stared at her intently. “What I think doesn’t matter

to you?”

Isabella replied, “Does it matter?”

The answer was obvious.

Tobias’s expression darkened.

The air around them became tense as well.

Tobias felt a fire burning inside him, though he couldn’t quite say

what caused it.

With a stern face, he pressed on, “What’s your relationship with

William? When did you meet him?”

He had asked lan. In recent days, besides him, the only other person

who had checked the surveillance was when the hospital director

brought William from the Brown Group to review the footage,

When he first heard Ian mention this, he instinctively assumed

3/9

Chapter 27

William was just checking the hospital for any suspicious persons

related to the kidnapping, so he didn’t think much of it.

Now that he thought about it, what William was checking at the time

must have been this same footage.

Besides that, he really couldn’t think of anyone else who could get

the surveillance video and use a virtual number to send it via text to

everyone in the Taylor family’s phones.

“William?” Isabella looked at him in confusion. “What does this have

to do with William?”

She didn’t know who sent the video, and hadn’t thought to connect it

to William at all.

But Tobias stared at her intently, certain. “It was William who got the

surveillance from the hospital.”

At these words, everyone in the Taylor family looked somewhat

shocked.

The Brown family was one of the four great families, already a

household name.

And the person in control of the Brown Group was William.

That man had a prestigious status and rarely appeared in public.

Many people knew of him, but few had actually seen him.

Rumor had it he was decisive and ruthless in his methods–not

someone to cross lightly.

“Tobias, what are you talking about?” Olivia looked at him in

confusion. “How could Isabella possibly know William?”

Isabella had only been in Emerald City for less than a month. She had

no social connections here.

Besides, with her upbringing, even getting her to meet some

socialites would be difficult–how could she possibly have contact

with someone like William?

“Tobias.” Chase also felt this was unrealistic. “Aren’t you overthinking

this? Even I’ve only met William once. How could Isabella possibly

know William?”

“Besides, even if Isabella really did know him, would someone like

William go to such lengths over such a small matter–going to the

hospital to check surveillance, then going through all the trouble to

send it to each of our phones?”

Being questioned by everyone like this, Tobias suddenly realized he

5/9

Chapter 27

must have been too angry to think straight.

How could he have thought the video was sent by William?

There were others who could access the surveillance–hospital

security, or maybe hackers…

Had Isabella, realizing she couldn’t get the truth from him, sought

help from someone else?

Thinking of the “friend” Isabella had been calling frequently lately,

and the “friend” she visited at the hospital, Tobias couldn’t help but

wonder–was it that friend who helped her?

Did she think even an ordinary friend was more reliable than him?

Tobias looked at Isabella and said coldly, “You don’t need to trouble

outsiders with these things in the future. This time was my fault. I’ll

help you from now on.”

Isabella quickly replied, “No need. I don’t need your help with

anything.”

If it weren’t for Tobias this time, she wouldn’t have been wrongly

accused in the first place.

All her suffering was brought on by him and now this man was

pretending to offer help.

Tobias’s expression stiffened slightly. “I heard from mom that you

weren’t satisfied with the tutor she found for you. I can tutor you

myself.”

If this could make up for his mistake, he was willing.

As soon as these words fell, everyone present turned to look at Tobias

with surprised expressions.

Especially Bianca–her face changed color almost instantly, while she

clenched her fists tight.

What did Tobias just say? Tutor Isabella?

How could that work?

Tobias was her brother–how could he tutor someone else?

Isabella shook her head in refusal. “No need.”

Having Tobias tutor Isabella was something Olivia hadn’t considered,

but since Tobias brought it up himself, she didn’t expect this

ungrateful daughter to refuse so decisively. Her face immediately

7/9

Chapter 27

turned cold. “You said to change your tutor. You weren’t happy with

Matthew, and now Tobias offers personally, and you still aren’t

happy.”

She was furious. “Isabella, what exactly are you trying to do?”

Being rejected so decisively by Isabella, Tobias’s expression also

turned ice cold. “Whatever. If you don’t want to, that’s even better-

I’m very busy anyway.”

Throwing out these words, Tobias turned and left, his retreating

figure looking somewhat angry.

Isabella couldn’t understand what Tobias was angry about. She turned

to look at Olivia. “I don’t need tutoring. If you insist on finding me a

tutor, I’ll figure it out myself.”

“You’ll figure it out yourself?” Olivia’s face looked terrible. “What do

you know? What kind of good teacher could you possibly find?”
