From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571 Bumping into Zera

Raine nodded obediently, half understanding.

She glanced at her own brother and asked Aella tentatively, “Aella, you’ve already slept in my brother’s bed–can I start calling you my sister–in–law now?”

“Well–Aella glanced at Virginia and quickly changed her words, “That wouldn’t be appropriate at all.”

Tyrone looked at Aella with indulgent affection in his eyes.

Virginia smiled so hard her mouth almost wouldn’t close.

She had watched Aella grow up since she was little.

Though she had a bit of a young–lady temper and tended to act on emotion.

Her looks were outstanding, and her personality was outgoing and smart.

She complemented her son’s personality perfectly.

Having grown up as childhood sweethearts, it would please her greatly if they ended up together.

After breakfast, Virginia urged Tyrone to hurry to the Reids to visit Aella’s parents.

Raine wanted to go too, but Virginia stopped her “Aella, you go with Tyrone first. I need to take Raine to your uncle’s place. She can join you later.”

Aella didn’t think much of it and happily went out with Tyrone.

At 9 a.m., Aella led Tyrone back to the Reids‘ home.

Tyrone took the initiative to wish Aella’s parents a Merry Christmas.

As usual, Aella’s parents gave Tyrone a gift.

Tyrone tried to decline.

Back in high school, he had co–founded a game company with Brad.

After turning 18, he balanced his studies while learning business at his father’s side.

Even without the Winter Group backing him, he had long been financially independent.

He shouldn’t be taking any gifts from elders anymore.

As in previous years, Miriam forcefully stuffed the gift into Tyrone’s pocket.

Tyrone quietly passed it to Aella.

As always, Aella happily accepted it. “Tyrone, wait for me a moment–I’ll go change clothes, then we’ll go to the Christmas market.”

She pattered upstairs.

Tyrone followed Warren into the study.

Warren asked about Tyrone’s grandfather’s condition, and upon learning that Edwin had awakened, he finally relaxed.

Warren handed Tyrone a large check.

Tyrone was puzzled. “Warren, why are you suddenly giving me this?”

A one–billion–dollar check wasn’t insignificant, even for the Reids.

Warren said, “You nearly lost your life helping the Reids through their crisis, and you also brought trouble to both the Winters and McCarthys.”

Warren added, “This one billion isn’t much—just a small token from Miriam and me. A few days ago, we approached both your father and your mother, but they both refused to accept it.

The Christmas market were incredibly lively.

Aella was like a bird just released from its cage, chirping excitedly through the crowd.

To keep her from getting lost, Tyrone took the initiative to hold her hand.

“Tyrone, hurry up,”

Aella tugged him towa a stall selling Christmas light–up decorations.

Aella and Zera reached for the same lantern at the same time.

They locked eyes and spoke simultaneously. “Why is it you?”

What rotten luck.

Aella’s gaze fell on Zera’s tightly clenched grip on the lantern handle, and she pulled her hand back in disgust.

She didn’t want a lantern to ruin her good mood for the day.

Aella turned and linked arms with Tyrone, heading in the opposite direction.

Zera watched Tyrone walk past without even sparing her a glance.

In anger, she threw the lantern aside and struck first.

Zera blocked Aella’s path and deliberately raised her voice for everyone around to hear. “Even if you didn’t like that lantern, you can’t just throw it away.”

Aella shoved Tyrone aside, rolled up her sleeves, walked up to Zera, and slapped her hard. “Which eye of yours saw me throw it?”

Zera covered her stinging cheek, looked around, and her eyes reddened with grievance.
