Daphne said, “Yeah, Zera graduated from an art school. She was a dance major–total star

vibes.”

Everyone went quiet after hearing that.

Noticing the awkward silence, Jenny quickly said, “Mr. Winter, we’re all dying to see what kind of special gift you prepared for Zera. How about showing us?”

People immediately joined in, cheering him on.

Zera glanced at Tyrone, who stood beside her looking calm, like nothing was happening.

Her eyes drifted toward Aella.

Putting on her sweetest tone, she said, “Tyrone, didn’t you promise me a birthday gift I’d never forget? Since everyone’s curious, why don’t you show them?”

Brad smirked. “Tyrone, Ms. Caldwell can’t wait any longer. Stop teasing us and let everyone see what you got for her!”

With his striking mixed features and deep brown eyes, Sayer scanned the room.

He tugged Aella’s arm and whispered, “Aella, I think Mr. Winter is planning something shady.”

Aella patted his arm lightly, signaling him to let go. “Just watch. Don’t say anything dumb.”

Sayer nodded obediently and kept quiet.

At that moment, Noel pushed through the crowd and walked up to Tyrone.

They exchanged a quick look before Noel stepped aside.

Tyrone then pulled out a small voice recorder and set it on the long table beside the cake and champagne tower.

He said calmly, “This is my gift. Everything is inside here. Why don’t you play it and find out?”

Zera stared at the recorder, her smile fading away.

Her heart thumped wildly as she stepped closer.

It wasn’t a pen–it was a recorder.

A wave of dread washed over her.

She carefully studied Tyrone’s face and asked, “Tyrone, isn’t this supposed to be my gift? Why do you want me to play this?”

He kept his cool. “You’ll understand once you play it.”

Zera picked up the recorder and hesitated, not wanting to hit play.

“Who’s Orson’s dad?”

“Blame Edwin. He threatened Tyrone. He said if Tyrone stayed with me, he’d leave everything to that bastard kid. Why should he get it?”

“So you killed Ivan?”

“I didn’t kill him. I just paid William 500,000 to move the warning signs at the ski resort. That way, that brat would ‘accidentally‘ die there.”

The recorder kept going, spilling every word of their talk. Then chaos broke out.

Shirley dragged Julian and Daphne out of the crowd, whispering about something.

Sayer muttered, “Man, I didn’t expect that ugly girl to be this twisted. Creepy.”

Brad gave Raine a hint.

Raine immediately comforted Virginia softly.

Across the crowd, Tyrone and Aella met eyes, then quickly looked away.

Zera’s mind went blank, like something inside her just exploded. She couldn’t even move.
