Chapter 236 The Clash of the Families

That afternoon, Aella had an appointment with Beatrice.

Beatrice always spoke highly of Aella, but Jenny came along with a face full of disdain.

Aella ignored her and personally helped Beatrice into the car.

As soon as Aella closed the door, Jenny sneered, “Dr. Reid, if a man doesn’t love you, you’re just taking up space. Zera already has Mr. Winter’s child. Staying won’t help you. You should just ask for more money and leave while you can.”

Aella looked at the fool in front of her and frowned. “Why don’t you help me file for divorce, then?”

Jenny gave a cold laugh, eyes full of disdain. “When a couple wants a divorce, it only takes one side to decide. I know it’s not easy for a fallen socialite like you to cling to someone like Mr. Winter, but Zera already has his son. You can’t win. Give it up.”

Aella raised her hand and knocked on the car window.

When Beatrice rolled it down, Aella said with a calm smile, “Mrs. Townsend, your

granddaughter is quite something. She just threatened me to divorce my husband. Anyone who didn’t know better would think she’s trying to take my place.”

With that, Aella walked away.

“Grandma, don’t listen to that bitch!”

Jenny whined as she lifted her skirt and climbed into the car, only to be slapped hard across the face.

Beatrice glared at her and snapped, “Out of respect for your father, I’ve tolerated you. But if you cause trouble again, you can pack your bags and go live with your mother!”

Jenny stood there fuming as she watched the luxury car drive off. She stomped her feet in rage,

Aella returned to her office. She gathered her things and got ready to head to Webster Manor.

Just then, Daniel knocked and stepped inside. “You already have plenty of VIP patients under your care. Why are you still doing clinic hours this afternoon?”

Aella smiled. “Beatrice was one of my grandmother’s closest friends. She hasn’t been sleeping well lately. I wanted to check on her and give her something to help.”

Daniel set a file on her desk. “This patient’s from the royal family of Mudrus. They’ll be in Vleka

next week. You’ll handle the case. Take some time to review it.”

Aella gave him a thumbs–up. “Daniel, your connections are wonderful.”

Working with him brought her both status and success.

This job also opened doors to powerful people she never would’ve met otherwise.

Daniel chuckled modestly. “Not just mine. Our families‘ networks go way back. I just make use of it.”

After he left, Aella slipped the medical file into her bag and headed out to Webster Manor.

Late in the afternoon, just before closing time, the door to the CEO’s office burst open.

Noel ran in, out of breath. “Mr. Winter, your grandfather has been discharged from the hospital!”

Edwin slammed his cane against the floor, the sound echoing through the tense room.

His expression darkened as he said, “Your daughter married into this family–she is a Winters. She hid her pregnancy and ended it in secret. Is that what you call good upbringing?”

Miriam gripped Aella’s hand, her eyes red and wet with tears.

She rebuked angrily, “My daughter may not be perfect, but she never begged to marry into your family. Since you despise her so much, we’ll take her home right now!”

She tugged Aella toward the door, but Justin and several guards stepped forward, blocking their

way.

Aella looked at her parents, then gently pulled her hand free. She returned to the living room and faced Edwin.

“With a father and grandfather like you, Tyrone only deserves to raise someone else’s son. You don’t deserve to have a grandson or great–grandson.”

Edwin’s eyes went wide. His face was flushed with rage, and he almost passed out from it.

He lay stiff on the couch. Edwin pointed at Aella and roared, “Someone lock this disgrace in Tyrone’s room and let her reflect on what she’s done!”

The guards rushed forward to seize her, but Tyrone arrived just in time.

He pulled Aella behind him, his expression firm. “Grandpa, the baby’s gone. If anyone’s to blame, it’s me. None of this has anything to do with Aella!”

Edwin’s hand trembled as he pointed at Tyrone, teeth clenched. “You rascal! You’re driving me insane!”
