Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354 I Cannot Go to Her

George’s face went pale. “No! That can’t be. My wife didn’t say that!”

Jenny, who had followed Noel out, jumped in. “Mr. Cunningham, don’t listen to him. He and his bodyguards threatened Mrs. Cunningham.”

Daphne pointed at Noel and spat, “Cut the crap! You’re making things up!”

Noel glanced at Tyrone, his face bitter and miserable.

Tyrone patted Noel’s shoulder and kept his face calm. “You’re a Winter Group employee. It’s not right for you to be treated like this. Go to the hospital and get checked. I will make this right for you.”

Raine, who had started the trouble, hid behind Brad and refused to show her face.

Brad pointed to his face. “No. I need to get checked too. Tomorrow I’ll have my grandma go to all of your houses and make you pay for this.”

George watched as the situation shifted. His face kept changing.

Tyrone kept his eyes on the door. Aella came out last. He hurriedly walked up to her.

“Aella.”

He saw a thin, long cut on her cheek and reached out to move her hair to check her wound.

Aella turned her head away to dodge him.

Tyrone stared at her stupidly. He remembered the promise he’d made to her on the island. His fingers curled for a moment, then he quietly pulled his hand back.

Ralph looked at Aella with clear disgust.

He pointed at Aella and accused, “It’s you again. Trouble follows you.”

Before Aella could answer, Tyrone spoke up. “Dad, what nonsense is that?”

Ralph shot back, “Am I wrong? If it weren’t for this woman, Raine wouldn’t have gotten into a fight.”

Raine couldn’t help herself and defended Aella. “Dad, don’t blame the wrong person. I just didn’t like Anna. I wanted to slap her.”

Ralph was about to shout at his daughter, but Virginia stopped him.

Since both of his children took Aella’s side, Ralph finally held back.

Daphne turned to George and spoke with steady confidence, “Jenny and I were at the scene. Noel brought men with him and threatened us. Ms. Winter started the fight. There are cameras at the restaurant entrance and inside. Check them and you’ll see.”

Jenny chimed in, “Mrs. Cunningham almost lost her baby because of this. Are you sure you want to let this go?”

Daphne and Jenny’s firm stance gave George more confidence.

He didn’t want to offend the Winters, but he also didn’t want the matter buried. He pointed at Aella and said, “For your family sake, I won’t press charges against Ms. Winter.”

He paused and looked at Tyrone. “Mr. Tyrone, my wife was attacked for no reason and almost lost the baby. Someone must be held responsible. You can take Ms. Winter away, but your ex- wife-”

George didn’t get to finish. Tyrone cut him off. “An ex–wife is still my wife. Her problems are my problems.”

Ralph’s angry voice kept echoing, scolding Tyrone nonstop.

Aella, who had stayed quiet the whole time, finally spoke up. “Mr. Winter, my problems are none of your concern,” she said, her voice cold and polite.

Tyrone stood a few steps away.

For a brief second, they just stared at each other in silence before Aella turned her gaze away.

Tyrone clenched his jaw, forcing himself not to move closer.

Just then, Mason walked out from the police station.

He went straight to Aella. “Have you been waiting long?”

Aella shook her head. “Thanks for coming all the way.”

Mason’s smile was warm and calm–it carried a kind of steadiness that could hold the whole world.

Jenny and Daphne saw Mason. Their faces twisted with envy.

Virginia glanced at Mason, then at her son, worry clouding her face.

Raine whispered to Brad in a worrisome tone, “Do you think Aella and Mr. Fulford are actually

together?”

Brad gave Tyrone a quick, uneasy glance. “Even if she’s not with him, she’ll be with someone else. It just won’t ever be Tyrone again.”

Raine fell silent.

Tyrone’s eyes flicked between Aella and Mason.

He wanted to pull her away, to stop Mason from standing beside her, but he couldn’t.

His legs felt heavy as stone. His hands, hanging at his sides, curled into tight fists.

He had promised Aella he’d respect her choices, that he’d give her freedom.

So he couldn’t go to her now, no matter how much it tore him apart.

Tyrone’s face darkened, his expression twisted with pain and struggle.

No wonder she was so calm–she had called Mason ahead of time.

Mason politely greeted the Winters, then turned to face George.

“Mr. Cunningham,” he said coolly, “whether your wife’s charge against Dr. Reid for intentional harm holds up, I don’t know. But if you actually allow her to go through with it, I can promise you, someone’s going to end up behind bars first.”

Daphne pointed at Mason and shouted, “You’re sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong! She’s Mr. Winter’s ex–wife now. Even the Winters don’t want to help her. Who do you think you are to butt in?”
