From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 What Zera Didn’t See

Zera glanced down at the shoes on her feet, her face tight with embarrassment.

If she hadn’t fallen for Virginia’s lies and wrecked her own career, if she hadn’t been stupid enough to get played by that old woman, she wouldn’t be in this mess.

Tyrone refused to give her money. Most of what she borrowed from Jenny had already been squeezed out of her by her greedy sister–in–law. The payday loans she took out online barely covered her basic expenses. There was no way she could afford designer brands anymore.

But now, she wasn’t worried.

Tyrone had promised to let Aella treat her illness and said he’d take good care of her and Orson. She believed Tyrone, he was the type who either gave nothing or gave big.

Aella said, “Even if I am Tyrone’s ex–wife, I could call up Virginia right now, and the Winters‘ people would slap you three times a day. You believe that?”

Zera’s eyes flickered with all kinds of emotions.

When she spoke again, the arrogance from before had mostly faded.

She said, “Aella, we’re both women. Why make things harder for each other? I’m just trying to remind you that since you’re already divorced from Tyrone, maybe it’s time you stayed out of his life and stopped trying to make yourself relevant.

She sighed.

She said, “Zera, instead of wasting time running your mouth with me, maybe focus on locking down that marriage certificate with Tyrone. Because if Mr. Edwin sets him up with someone who actually matches his status, you’ll be screwed way worse.”

With that, Aella turned and walked away.

Zera stood there, furious, her foot stomping the pavement.

Aella had hit a nerve. She’d schemed and waited forever for Tyrone to finally get divorced. No way was she letting another woman swoop in and take her place.

Aella paused once she crossed the street.

Zera, that idiot, still didn’t get it.

Clearly, it was time for Aella to make good on her promise to Tyrone and hypnotize her.

Whatever drama they had going on, Aella didn’t care, as long as they stayed the hell out of her life.

As she walked, Aella called Tyrone.

He picked up almost instantly.

Aella said, “Friday morning. Bring Zera in to register.”

On the other end, Tyrone immediately left the conference room, abandoning the people inside. Before he could even get a word out, Aella had already hung up.

Just after nine on Friday morning, Tyrone brought Zera to the hospital.

Even though Aella knew perfectly well there was nothing wrong with Zera, she still went through the formalities–asked all the intake questions, ordered the tests, ran her through the whole process.

Over an hour later, Zera came back into Aella’s office.

Aella looked at Tyrone and said, “It’s hard to say right now. Let’s try a round of meds and some holistic therapy and see how it goes.”

Aella exchanged a look with Tyrone and instantly picked up on the message behind his eyes.

Victor hadn’t come back from Ressovia yet, and she didn’t have to be at Webster Manor any time soon. Might as well take care of the Zera situation while she had the chance.

Aella stood and said, “Since Mr. Winter’s so concerned, fine. Come back at 2:30 this afternoon. Don’t be late.”

Tyrone gave Aella a quick glance, then left the office with Zera.

He had the driver take Zera home, while he got into Brad’s car.

Zera walked into the house humming, and told Shirley, “Tyrone’s personally taking me to the hospital this afternoon for rehab. Can you believe that?”

Shirley raised an eyebrow. “The way those two divorced so clean, and now they’re both so cooperative about getting you treated … You sure there’s not something fishy going on?”

Her words made Zera’s heart skip a beat.

That woman Aella might look calm and classy on the outside, but who knew? Maybe she was just waiting for the perfect moment to get revenge.

Suddenly feeling uneasy, Zera turned to Shirley and said, “Mom, maybe you should come with me this afternoon. Don’t leave my side, not even for a second.”

At exactly 2:30, Zera and Shirley arrived at the hospital.

When Zera noticed Tyrone’s gaze land on Shirley, she quickly explained, “Tyrone, I know you’re busy with work. Since Dr. Reid already agreed to treat me, you go ahead and do thing, my mom will stay with me and help take care of everything.”

He gave a subtle nod, saying nothing. Then he brought both women to Aella.
