Chapter 483 I Didn’t Mean It
She knew better than anyone how calculating and ruthless Tyrone could be.
If he truly wanted to send Zera to prison, her powerful background would still be no match for him.
The only reason Zera had been released from prison again and again by George was because Tyrone had shown restraint.
When someone loves another person, even if that person is full of flaws, they still love them.
Whether Tyrone admits it or not, he still has feelings for Zera, both in his previous life or in this one.
Ralph asked Thomas and Lilian, “All four of your children are outstanding. We really can’t figure out why the Hills insisted on adopting a girl with such questionable character.”
With this topic brought up, Thomas was too embarrassed to explain further. He lowered his head and sighed.
Lilian stood up and said, “Mr. Ralph, to be honest, Zera once did the Hills a great favor. I hope you can consider the past friendship between the Winters and the Hills and spare her this
once.”

Lilian stopped there and did not elaborate.
Seeing that none of the Winters showed any sign of backing down, Zera’s eyes flickered.
She tested the waters carefully. “Mr. Edwin, I heard that if Grandma hadn’t saved you on the operating table back then, you probably would have…”
“Enough!”
Before Zera could finish, Thomas and Lilian both shouted at her.
Zera jumped in fright.
But her goal had already been achieved, so she immediately shut her mouth.
Virginia and Ralph exchanged a look.
Edwin’s expression darkened.

Tyrone remained completely unfazed. Raine was so furious that she started to curse, but Aella stopped her in time.
Zera was clearly trying to trade on a past favor to force the Winters into forgiving her.
After a brief silence, Edwin finally spoke.
With a dark expression, Edwin said, “Young people are bound to make mistakes. Since Mrs. Natasha has personally stepped forward, we will let bygones be bygones.”
Zera immediately thanked him. “Thank you, Mr. Edwin. Thank you, Mr. Ralph.”
Tyrone quietly looked toward Edwin.
Back then, when Edwin was gravely ill, countless specialists had refused to perform the risky brain surgery. In the end, Natasha had agreed to do it.
The surgery was successful. Edwin recovered, and Natasha gained both fame and fortune.
The Winters had always remembered that life–saving favor, but hearing it spoken out loud was another matter.
Just now, Zera had deliberately brought it up in public. Natasha had not stopped her, which showed how extremely biased she was toward Zera.
Since Edwin had already given his word, speaking up in opposition now would be like slapping his own family in the face.
Tyrone thought to himself, It’s all right. I’ll let her off the hook this time.
The higher one stands, the harder they fall.
If Zera continues acting this way, she will meet a miserable end someday.
Tyrone neither refused nor agreed to Edwin’s words.
He said calmly, “Mrs. Natasha, now that my grandfather has agreed, does that mean the debt between the Hills and the Winters is completely settled?”
Natasha replied, “Tyrone, Zera is simple–minded and speaks too bluntly. Please don’t take it to heart.”
With that, Natasha stood up and said, “With Mr. Edwin’s words, I feel at ease there is nothing else, we will take our leave.”

Zera immediately grew anxious.
Before we came, we agreed to bring up the marriage alliance between the two families. Why did that old woman leave without mentioning it at all?
Once Natasha spoke, Thomas and Lilian followed her immediately, eager to leave.
Tyrone accompanied his parents as he saw the Hills out.
The moment Zera got into the car, she impatiently questioned Natasha, “Grandma, didn’t we agree to bring up the marriage alliance between the two families? Why did you…?”
Natasha sighed regretfully. “Zera, Mr. Edwin and Mr. Ralph clearly hold hostility toward you. Tyrone is no longer suitable for you. Grandma will find you someone even better.”
Zera shook her head in anxiety. “But Grandma, I love him. I will marry no one but him!”
Lilian could no longer stand it. “Zera, if you had such determination, how could given birth to Leonardo’s child back then and then turn around and married another foreign

Zera was left completely speechless. “I… I only…”
Thomas scolded sharply, “The Hills have practiced medicine for generations and are a prominent family in Vleka. Saving lives is our duty as doctors. Yet you used gratitude as leverage to trade for personal gain. With your character, you are not worthy to be part of the Hills!”
Zera had not expected Thomas and Lilian to react so strongly.
Overwhelmed with guilt and humiliation, she cried as she apologized. “I’m sorry, Mom and Dad. I only misspoke in a moment of panic. I didn’t mean it.”

Lilian’s expression turned cold. “You framed Tyrone without meaning it. You gave birth to married man’s child without meaning to. You stole core secrets from the Winter Group without meaning to. And now you publicly used a favor to force the Winters to forgive you- again, without meaning to. Do you have any sense of shame at all?”
Zera was rendered speechless by Lilian’s words.
She shrank beside Natasha in embarrassment and cried softly.
Lilian shot Zera a look full of disgust.
Then she said to Natasha, “Natasha, wherever the Hills go, we are respected. If you com
