Ralph said, “Talk to Virginia and Tyrone. Get them to agree to let Dad come back from abroad. You’re getting engaged to Tyrone. If he isn’t here, people will gossip.”
Aella scratched her head, looking innocent. “But Mr. Ralph, I listen to whatever Tyrone says.”
Ralph gave her a look of disgust. “You aren’t even married yet, and you’re already listening to everything he says? You’ll have zero power in the house! Tell him to personally bring his grandpa back. If he refuses, delay the engagement and make him worry.”
Aella gasped, covering her mouth in shock. “Mr. Ralph! I thought we were family, but you’re trying to use, me!”
“What are you talking about?”
Virginia walked over in high heels.
Both Ralph and Aella jumped.,
Ralph changed his face instantly and smiled at Virginia. “Nothing. I was just reminding Aella to be more careful and not embarrass our family.”
Virginia looked at Aella. “Is that so, Aella?”
Aella shook her head and walked toward Virginia. Ralph quickly blocked her and shot her a warning look.
Aella widened her eyes and glared back.
Paper tiger! How dare he glare at me?
Aella pushed Ralph’s arm away, walked up to Virginia, and said, “Virginia, Mr. Ralph just secretly told me he’s hiding a lot of private money. He said if I listen to him, he’ll sneak me a huge gift on the engagement day!”
She made a huge circle with her arms to show how “big” the gift was.
Ralph couldn’t believe this girl just threw him under the bus. “Aella, shut up!”
He turned to Virginia, trying to please her. “Honey, don’t listen to her! I swear, I don’t have a single penny hidden away!”
Back then, just to get Virginia back to the Winter Estate, he gave her all his assets. Even the gifts people gave him that day, he handed over everything. He didn’t keep even a single coin.
If Virginia really thought he had secret money, where was he supposed to get it?
Virginia didn’t care about his feelings. She grabbed Ralph by the ear and pulled. “Whether you have it or not, I’ll check, and we’ll see.”
Aella watched Ralph bending over and begging for mercy while Virginia twisted his ear. She quietly slid

along the wall and slipped away.
She jogged to the corner of the hallway and slammed right into a solid chest.
When she looked up and saw it was Tyrone, she let out a huge breath and patted her chest.

Tyrone glanced down the hallway at his dad getting lectured, then looked back at Aella. “Not even married yet, and you’re already setting up your future father–in–law?”
Aella looked down, feeling super guilty. “Tyrone, I was just joking.”
Edwin had a nasty temper.
He was strict with his grandkids and even harsher with his daughter–in–law.
Ralph was trying to trick her into helping that old man come back.
Hmph. He deserved it!
Tyrone wrapped an arm around Aella’s waist and pulled her into his arms. “That joke went too far.”
He knew his mom always took Aella’s side.
If Aella said his dad had a secret stash, his mom would believe it.
And if his dad couldn’t produce that money, his mom definitely wouldn’t let him off.
Tyrone led Aella back to the private room. “Your parents are still inside Let’s go back first.”
Aella went back with Tyrone. After chatting with her parents for a bit, Virginia and Ralph came back in.
Ralph shot Aella a hard glare.
Seeing Ralph’s ear red and swollen, Aella lowered her head and focused on eating, feeling guilty.
Luckily, the rest of the lunch went pretty smoothly, and Ralph didn’t give her a hard time.
After lunch, Tyrone drove Aella, her parents, and her brother home.
At 3:30 p.m., both families showed up on time at the press conference.
Tyrone wore a dark suit, looking sharp and striking.
Aella wore a white cocktail dress, holding his arm with a huge, confident smile.
With their parents standing right there, Tyrone officially announced that he and Aella were getting engaged.
In an instant, every news site and magazine had their photo on the front page.
