From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 Buy It

Edwin’s meaning was clear. Virginia nodded. “I’ll try.”

But just because she agreed didn’t mean she planned to do exactly what he said.

Vivienne was young but calculating. Her ambition matched any ambitious man’s.

A woman like that might fit well in business–but not in marriage.

Besides, Virginia could tell Tyrone had been unusually attentive toward Aella lately. As his mother, of course, she noticed.

When Tyrone returned from his business trip, Virginia followed Edwin’s instructions and invited Jasmine and Vivienne to the Winter Estate as guests.

Edwin also told the butler to personally pick Tyrone up from the airport.

That evening, the butler entered the living room with his head lowered. “Mr. Edwin, about Mr. Tyrone … ”

Seeing him hesitate, Virginia spoke up in front of Jasmine and Vivienne. “There’s no one here but family. Just say it.”

The butler lowered his voice even more. “Mrs. Winter, after landing, Mr. Tyrone went straight to Ms. Reid’s house.”

Virginia shot Jasmine and Vivienne an apologetic look.

Ralph’s face darkened. “Go bring that brat back here right now!”

The butler looked torn but said nothing.

Vivienne stepped in to ease the tension. “Mr. Ralph, it’s already such an honor for my mother and me to be invited here. If Mr. Tyrone has business to handle, that’s perfectly fine. He doesn’t have to rush back.”

She spoke politely, but her expression was stiff.

Tyrone knew she was visiting the Winter Estate, yet he had gone straight to Aella’s place instead.

His attitude toward her couldn’t be clearer.

It looked like the idea of getting engaged to Tyrone was nothing more than wishful thinking.

After Jasmine and Vivienne left, Edwin slammed a glass on the floor in anger. “He’s the heir of the Winter Group, yet he keeps chasing after a bankrupt woman! This is outrageous!”

Ralph called Tyrone himself, demanding he comes home immediately.

At that moment, Tyrone was sitting in Aella’s living room when the call came. He left shortly after hanging up.

Once he got into the car, Noel spoke carefully, “Mr. Winter, I thought you said you’d wait until Ms. Reid got home?”

Tyrone gripped the jewelry box tightly. “Take me back to the Winter Estate.”

Noel quickly told the driver to start the car.

Not long after Tyrone left, Aella returned from work.

When she walked into the living room and saw the expensive health supplements piled on the table, she frowned. “Dad, Mom, did we have guests today?”

Warren and Miriam exchanged a look.

Miriam tried to reassure her. “This is one of the best properties here. Great location, brand- new, no one’s ever lived in it, and no accidents or bad history. Don’t overthink it.”

Aella shook her head. “Nothing good comes that cheap. Houses priced way below market value usually have hidden problems.”

“Don’t say that!” Warren flicked her forehead lightly. “Tyrone talked to the developer and got us an insider price!”

Aella blinked. “When did you even tell him we were buying a house?”

Miriam explained, “Your dad and I had been looking for weeks without luck. Then we ran into Tyrone. We mentioned it, and he said he knew the developer here. As soon as we came to see it, we loved it.”

Warren added, “The developer was going to give us the house for free because of Tyrone, but we refused. We just asked for a discount. We didn’t expect them to cut the price in half!”

Aella didn’t know what to say.

Looking at her parents‘ excited faces, she finally gave in. “If you both like it, then buy it.”

No matter whose favor the discount came from, since it was the developer offering it, she couldn’t object.

Besides, Warren and Miriam had always treated Tyrone like their own son. It wasn’t strange for him to help them out.

After they finalized the purchase, the three of them left the sales office, chatting happily.

They decided to move in on the 20th of the month.

Since moving day fell on a Friday, Aella requested the day off from work.
