From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409 Accused

That afternoon, when Aella came home from work, she found Tyrone and Clyde out on the balcony, carrying her flower pots one by one.

She stopped by the doorway, watching them.

In the past, Tyrone had always been the proud and untouchable one–the kind of man who’d never lift a finger for manual work.

Yet now, he was doing the most ordinary chores.

If Edwin and Ralph saw this, they’d probably be furious.

When Tyrone turned around and saw Aella standing there, his expression softened into something cautious.

Before Aella could say anything, Warren walked over. “Aella, Tyrone’s been helping us move all day. He’s exhausted. Everything’s almost done here. Why don’t you and your mom go buy some groceries and cook something at the new house? Tyrone and I can share a drink tonight.”

Just as Warren finished speaking, the butler from the Winter Estate knocked on the door. “Mr. Tyrone, Mr. Edwin has arranged a dinner at the hotel tonight and has invited Ms. Reid’s family to join him.”

Aella let out a short, cold laugh.

Edwin hadn’t changed one bit–still as overbearing as ever.

She was about to refuse, but Tyrone spoke first. “Go back and tell Grandpa he doesn’t need to do this.”

The butler looked uneasy but didn’t leave. “Mr. Tyrone, Mr. Edwin gave strict orders. Please convince Ms. Reid to attend.”

Warren hesitated, then turned to Tyrone. “Tyrone, we were in the wrong for ending the engagement so suddenly. Even though it’s been a while, we never formally apologized to your parents. Since your grandfather extended an invitation, we should at least meet.”

The butler nodded quickly. “Mr. Reid, I’ll inform Mr. Edwin right away.”

Tyrone’s dark eyes stayed fixed on Aella’s face, unreadable.

Aella stood silently for a moment.

She knew exactly what kind of men the Winters were.

Even if she refused this time, Edwin would just find another excuse later.

So, she might as well face it now and get everything out in the open.

She pulled Tyrone aside into a separate room. “Tyrone, you can see it yourself. The closer you get to us, the angrier Mr. Edwin becomes. You should stay away from us. It’s better for everyone.”

Tyrone’s voice softened. “Aella, what my family thinks doesn’t represent how I feel.”

He promised, “Don’t worry. I won’t let my family give you or your parents a hard time.”

In his last life, he hadn’t protected her.

In this one, he swore he would never let her suffer again.

But Aella wasn’t convinced. “We’ll see how they act tonight.”

A few hours later, Aella arrived at the hotel with Warren and Miriam.

His tone turned icy. “Your engagement has already been canceled. Why are you still accepting gifts from Tyrone? Do you take him for your family’s personal ATM?”

Warren stepped forward, ready to speak, but Tyrone cut him off. “Grandpa, I was the one who wanted to call off the engagement. The Reids haven’t taken anything from me. How could you accuse them like that?”

Edwin snorted. “I won’t even mention the things you bought on your business trip to Mudrus. But what about the charity auction? You spent more than 100 million dollars there–who exactly did you buy those gifts for?”

Tyrone’s face went cold. “Grandpa, I earned that money myself. What I buy and who I give it to is my business. You have no right to interfere.”

Bang!

Before he even finished, Ralph slammed his hand on the table and stood up, face flushed with

anger.

“You think we don’t know?” he shouted. “Back then, you embezzled company funds and falsified the books just to help the Reids pay off their debts! You really thought we wouldn’t find out?”

The entire Reid family froze.

Virginia’s eyes darted between Tyrone and Aella, shock flickering in her gaze.

She hadn’t expected Tyrone to go that far for them.

Warren and Miriam exchanged a heavy look, their faces dark with worry.

But Tyrone didn’t flinch. “Dad, if you’re accusing me of embezzlement, then show me the proof.”
