Tyrone said coldly, “You and I aren’t the same. What’s between me and Aella is different.”

Brad let out a short laugh. “So you finally figured that out? Back when Zera was around, I don’t remember you ever treating Aella half as well as you treated her.”

Tyrone’s knuckles turned white as he gripped his glass tighter.

Brad kept going. “You clearly favored Zera over Aella. You even wanted Aella to accept her.”

When he noticed Tyrone’s face turning pale and his hand clutching his chest, Brad stopped talking immediately.

Downstairs, Aella made her entrance at the Cunninghams‘ party. She wore a strapless white satin gown

that hugged her waist perfectly, walking in arm–in–arm with Daniel.

Everyone’s eyes followed her as she entered, and Aella, calm as ever, quietly took in the luxurious scene around her.

Every corner of the Cunningham Residence screamed wealth and extravagance.

So, it seemed like the family’s third new mistress was quite adored.

Her gaze accidentally met Jenny’s from across the room. Jenny’s crooked little smile made Aella’s skin crawl.

Just then, a middle–aged man in a suit came over and pulled Daniel aside for a chat.

Before leaving, Daniel leaned toward Aella and whispered, “Brad’s upstairs.”

Aella knew Daniel was worried about her being alone, so she smiled and reassured him. “Go ahead. I’ll be fine on my own.”

After he left, Aella found a quiet corner to stay away from the crowd.

But when she saw Daphne walking toward her with Julian and Jenny, dressed in a flashy, over- the–top gown, her heart sank.

As they approached, Aella frowned. “What are you doing here?”

Daphne chuckled behind her hand. “What kind of question is that? If you can come to the Cunninghams‘ private party, why can’t we?”

Julian gave her a sharp look. “After what you did to Zera, your good days are over.”

Aella’s eyes turned cold. “Zera killed someone. It was Mr. Winter himself who sent her to prison. That had nothing to do with me. Even if you want revenge. I’m not the one you should come after.”

Jenny sneered. “Dr. Reid, you’re wrong about that. If you hadn’t come between Zera and Mr. Winter, she would’ve been his wife by now. And if she were his wife, do you really think he would’ve sent her to jail?”

Daphne crossed her arms with a smug grin. “You ruined Zera, Aella. Being kicked out by the Winters was what you deserved!”

Julian smirked. “We couldn’t do anything to you before, but things are different now?

Jenny stepped closer, leaning in to whisper in Aella’s ear. “Dr. Reid, looks like someone’s here to teach you a lesson.”

Aella stared at the three of them, then turned to walk away.

Could it be… that Mr. Cunningham’s new wife is Zera?

But that didn’t make sense. Zera was serving time in prison–there was no way she could be here.

Just as Aella was heading upstairs to find Brad, Dana stopped her. “Aella! I was just about to introduce you to someone.”

Dana gestured to a young woman beside her. “This is Mrs. Cunningham.”

Aella looked the woman up and down. She seemed familiar somehow.

She looked to be in her early 30s, with flawless makeup, soft, curled hair pinned up loosely, and a burgundy gown that highlighted the curve of her pregnant belly.

Dana’s phone rang, and she excused herself, leaving Aella alone with the woman. Aella smiled politely. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cunningham.” She turned to leave.

But the woman’s faint smile lingered. “Dr. Reid, don’t you recognize me?”

Aella paused, glancing around to make sure no one was nearby. She studied the woman’s face again–it did look somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t quite place her.

Her eyes dropped to the woman’s stomach, and she instinctively took a step back. “Stop playing games. Just tell me who you are.”

The woman rested one hand on her lower back and the other over her belly, her tone calm but

sharp. “Don’t you think I look a lot like Zera?”

Zera?

Aella’s eyes widened. “You’re … related to her?”

The woman’s smile faded. She stepped closer and whispered, “I’m Zera’s aunt–Anna Cunningham.”

Anna straightened up, watching Aella’s expression closely.

Aella froze, then realization dawned on her.

No wonder Daphne and the others could attend this party–George’s new wife was Zera’s aunt.

The two women stared at each other in silence.

Then George appeared. “What are you two talking about?”

Anna smiled gracefully. “Mrs. Buckley was introducing me to a brilliant doctor.”

George recognized Aella and greeted her politely. “Dr. Reid, I’m glad you could make it.”

Then he carefully took Anna’s arm. “You should rest for a while.”

Aella stood still, her face unreadable, watching George gently lead Anna away.

From the way he treated her, it was clear–Anna held a lot of power in that house.
