Chapter 564 Two Different Homes
Last night, both the Cunninghams and the Winters had reached out to his parents, trying to get him to drop the charges.
When he refused, the Hills tried both threats and bribes, offering a massive settlement in exchange for letting Zera off the hook.
Luckily, he had acted fast enough.
He had used the internet to leak the story first, making the case public.
Otherwise, with the Hills‘ influence, getting Zera off would have been easy.
This also meant he had completely burned bridges with both the Cunninghams and the Hills.
Brad asked, “Tyrone, when Zera was chasing you, her family was dirt poor. How did she suddenly get connected to a powerhouse like the Hills?”
Tyrone’s gaze drifted into the distance. “You’re certainly well–informed.”
On the other end of the line, Brad couldn’t stop gossiping. “If the Cunninghams and the Hills are pulling strings to protect Zera, she must have some serious ties to those families. Good thing you moved fast.”
A cold smirk tugged at the corner of Tyrone’s lips.
No matter how powerful the Cunninghams and Hills were, they couldn’t ignore the law and risk public outrage.
With the eyes of Vleka’s citizens watching, both families had no choice but to stand by as Zera was convicted.
Even with the two–year suspended sentence, this stain would follow her for the rest of her life, directly affecting her career and even her future children’s prospects.
For her, that was a punishment in itself.
After hanging up with Brad, Tyrone went back to his bedroom to return Aella’s call.
Hearing her bright, cheerful voice instantly lifted his mood.
That evening, Tyrone came to the Reid Residence.
Warren and Miriam welcomed him warmly,
Warren sighed in deep gratitude. “If it weren’t for your help, the Reids would have been finished. We’ll never forget what you did for us.
Tyrone was straightforward. “Warren, Aella and have known each other our whole lives. Doing this for her is the least I could do. Please don’t feel like you owe me anything.”
Miriam nodded approvingly from the side. “Aella’s upstairs. Go on up.”
Tyrone handed her a gift bag. “Miriam, my aunt brought this back from overseas for you.”
Miriam happily accepted it. “Next time your aun is in town, you have to let us know.”
Tyrone nodded and headed upstairs with another gift bag in hand.
As he climbed the stairs, the melodic sound of a violin filled the air, and Tyrone felt his whole body relax.
In the music room, Aella was playing.
She wore a pink loungewear set, her long, soft hair cascading down her back.
Her eyes were closed, her feet moving lightly as she swayed and spun with the notes, her expression peaceful and content.
Tyrone stood in the doorway, watching her play

In the blink of an eye, it was Christmas Eve.
Although Edwin had woken up, he still couldn’t move around normally and had been taken abroad by his daughter for treatment.
At 10 am, Tyrone arrived at the Winter Estate.
In the vast living room of the mansion, the only people present were Justin and his father,
The house was cold and empty, with no sign of Holiday warmth.
When justin saw Tyrone enter the living room, He hurried over. “Mr. Tyrone, should we still prepare a holiday dinner for tonight?”
Tyrone shook his head. “No need”
justin sighed and stepped aside. Tyrone walked into the living room.
Tyrone stood before his father, his face expressionless, “Why did you call me back?” Ralph looked visibly worn down, a shadow of his former commanding self.
