From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 480

Chapter 480 Aurelia’s Choice and Daniel’s Fear

Natasha walked up to Aurelia and slapped her across the face.

Aurelia froze in shock.

A second later, Aurelia burst into tears. “Grandma, you’re being unfair!”

Lilian rushed over and pulled her daughter behind her. “Mom, how could you hit Aurelia?”

Natasha defended Zera. “Zera is the older sister. Aurelia is the younger one. She’s spoiled by the whole family and thinks she can do anything, even hit her sister. I’m teaching her a lesson.”

Aurelia cried even harder. “I didn’t hit her!”

Natasha snapped, “You didn’t hit Zera? Did she slap herself, then?”

Aurelia insisted, “She did slap herself!”

Zera lowered her eyes, pretending to be hurt. Through tears, she said, “Grandma, don’t blame Aurelia.”

Zera said softly, “I know everyone misunderstands me and didn’t want me here. I don’t want to make things worse.”

She looked at Natasha. “Grandma, maybe you should let me leave.”

Natasha held her hand tightly. “Zera, the Hills are your home. As long as I’m alive, no one will bully you.”

She pulled Zera back into the room.

The three Hills brothers heard the commotion and came downstairs.

When Aurelia saw her brothers and Sophia, she cried even harder.

Sophia pulled her close. “Aurelia, don’t cry. Tell me who hurt you?”

Aurelia sobbed, “Sophia, Michael, Lysander, Daniel… I didn’t hit that woman!”

She pulled up her sleeve and showed her wrist. She almost broke my hand. It hurts so much.”

Everyone moved closer and saw the dark bruise wrapping around Aurelia’s wrist. They exchanged grim looks.

Sophia took Aurelia upstairs to apply medicine.

Lilian gave Thomas a pointed look. “Come upstairs. I need to talk to you”

Thomas followed her obediently,

The three brothers stood with serious expressions.

Lysander said, “Michael, has Grandma lost her mind? She hit Aurelia over an adopted daughter.”

Daniel said, “Michael, adoption is fine. But she doesn’t need to live with us. Maybe talk to Dad, Mom, and Grandma about letting her live somewhere else.

Michael sighed. “Even Dad and Mom can’t decide this. Grandma may not listen to me.”

The next morning, Zera accompanied Natasha to breakfast.

The large dining room held only the two of them.

Zera stood awkwardly beside Natasha and said pitifully, “Grandma, you saw it yesterday. No one wants me here. Let me move out. I’ll still come every day to take care of you.”

Last night, Natasha had insisted today’s breakfast would be the Hills‘ first family meal together and ordered everyone to come downstairs on time.

But not a single person showed up.

Zera etched the insult into her memory.

One day, she would make every one of them pay it back double.

Natasha’s face darkened. “Call the whole family here.”

The housekeeper hurried off.

He returned shortly after. “Mrs. Hill, Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Lilian will be down later.”

Natasha asked, “Where are the rest?”

The housekeeper said, “Ms. Aurelia’s wrist was injured by Ms. Zera, and she was slapped by you. She cried all night and didn’t sleep. This morning, Mrs. Sophia and the three Mr. Hills took her to the hospital.”

Natasha turned to Zera. “Zera, did you injure Aurelia’s wrist?”

Zera shook her head fast. “Grandma, no. She hit me, and I dodged. I just joined the family.

How would I dare hurt Aurelia?”

The housekeeper added, “But Ms. Zera, Ms. Aurelia couldn’t have twisted her own wrist that badly with her own hands, could she?”

“You…”

Zera was choked speechless and lowered her head.

Daniel and Lilian entered the dining room, both looking unhappy.

Zera rushed to greet them. “Dad, Mom.”

She quickly scooped soup for Thomas and Lilian to change the topic. “Mom, I made this mushroom soup early this morning. Please try it”

Lilian accepted the bowl, then placed it back on the table.

Natasha frowned. She turned to Michael and Sophia. “After breakfast, prepare gifts. We’re visiting the Winters.”

Thomas said, “Mom, you can go alone. There’s no need to bring so many people.”

Zera gripped her spoon hard. Thomas clearly didn’t want to get involved.

Natasha said, “There were misunderstandings between Zera and the Winters. This visit is to clear things up. And second, I want the Winters and Hills to consider a marriage alliance.”

Thomas and Lilian tried hard to stop her, but Natasha refused to back down.

Soon the Hills family prepared lavish gifts.

Natasha, Thomas, Lilian, and Zera headed to the Winters estate to pay a visit.
