Chapter 330 Another Trap

Brad’s tone carried a hint of sarcasm, and George’s expression darkened immediately.

Anna clenched her jaw and gave Brad a hard look before quickly forcing herself to calm down.

She turned to a servant and ordered them to bring 100,000 dollars in cash, then personally handed it to Aella.

Anna smiled politely. “Dr. Reid, you’re our guest today. Let’s just say this whole thing was my fault. Please take this money as compensation for your dress and any medical expenses. I hope you and Mr. Hill don’t take it to heart.”

Everyone knew Aella and Tyrone were divorced–and that she’d left with nothing.

Sure, Daniel had brought her here, but even as a senior doctor, her salary couldn’t be that high.

Neither Anna nor Jenny could recognize the brand of Aella’s gown, so they assumed it wasn’t worth much–definitely less than 100,000 dollars.

In their minds, offering her that much was already more than generous.

“A hundred thousand dollars?”

Brad let out a short, mocking laugh.

Daniel shook his head.

Tyrone frowned, clearly disgusted.

Aella didn’t reach for the stack of cash. Instead, she looked straight at George.

“Mr. Cunningham, just now your wife accused me of planning revenge, said I pushed her and tried to make her lose her baby. You even called the police and threatened Mr. Hill.”

Her tone was calm but sharp. “Now the truth is out. It was your wife who hurt me first and lied about it–and you just want to sweep it under the rug? Isn’t that a bit much?”

George’s face turned pale. Flustered, he quickly barked at the butler, “Go get another 100,000 dollars!”

Tyrone stepped forward and stood beside Aella, his face cold. “Mr. Cunningham, do you think my family needs your 200,000 dollars?”

His words made it clear to everyone whose side he was on.

George’s face tightened. “Mr. Winter,” he said carefully, “why don’t you name a figure, then?”

Before Tyrone could respond, Aella spoke first. “Since Mr. Winter, the Caldwells, and everyone else are all here, there’s something I need to make clear.”

Her eyes flicked to Tyrone for a moment, then she looked straight at Anna and Daphne.

“Mrs. Cunningham,” she said firmly, “I’ll say this one last time in front of everyone–your niece Zera is a murderer. She was punished by the law, as she should be.”

Anna’s face tightened in embarrassment.

Even though she pitied her niece, she hated hearing Aella bring it up in front of so many people.

Aella’s lips curled in a faint, ironic smile. “Mrs. Cunningham, after Zera and Tyrone broke up because of Mr. Edwin, she went overseas and drugged a married man, trying to trap him into marriage with a fake pregnancy. When that didn’t work, she ended up living with a drunk who abused her for years. When she came back, she knowingly became Tyrone’s mistress, even though he was already married.”

Her words hit like knives–every sentence cutting deeper.

Aella continued, her voice cool and steady, “I actually tried to give Zera a chance. But right after my divorce from Mr. Winter, she was charged with murder. She just didn’t have the luck to marry into the Winters.”

Anna’s face froze, her forced smile stiff and awkward.

Aella went on, “Mrs. Cunningham, it wasn’t me who sent Zera to prison–it was Mr. Winter. I’m begging your family to stop coming after me. If you’ve got a problem, take it up with him. This has nothing to do with me.”

Then she turned toward Tyrone. “Mr. Winter, why don’t you tell everyone if what I said is true?”

Her move was clever–she laid out all of Zera’s crimes, then pushed Tyrone into confirming it, clearing her own name completely.

Anna and Daphne’s faces were pale with humiliation. Jenny didn’t dare make a sound. The crowd fell into an uneasy silence.

Aella and Tyrone locked eyes across the room, a heavy tension hanging between them.

In Tyrone’s deep gaze was something unspoken–protective, maybe even regretful.

He finally turned toward Anna and said coldly, “Mrs. Cunningham, I was the one who sent Zera to prison. If you’re upset about that, come at me.”

Then his voice dropped, sharp as a blade. “And if I ever find out someone’s harassing my ex- wife because of Zera, I don’t care if they’re part of the Eight Great Families–I won’t let it slide.”

George shot Anna a complicated look, then forced a tight smile. “Mr. Winter, Dr. Reid, my wife was out of line. Please, don’t take it to heart. We’ll host a dinner soon to apologize properly.”

Aella knew George was only backing down because Tyrone, Daniel, and Brad were all there.

Without their presence, she wouldn’t have stood a chance, no matter how right she was.

But at least the matter was settled–for now.

Brad, seeing things had calmed down, added casually, “George, maybe start by compensating Dr. Reid for her medical bills and the dress.”

Anna glanced at George’s face, then forced a smile. “Dr. Reid, why don’t you tell us how much you think it’s worth?”

She deliberately threw the question back to Aella–setting another trap.

If Aella named a high number, people would call her greedy. If she said it wasn’t worth much, they’d laugh at her instead.
