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!”

Tyrone set down his pen and looked up sharply.

Noel braced himself before reporting, “Mrs. Winter was on her way to Webster Manor, but your grandfather’s men intercepted her and took her to the estate.”

Tyrone shot to his feet. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?!”

Sweat was breaking out on Noel’s forehead as he explained, “Her parents were also invited there.”

Evening, the Winter Estate.

Edwin sat in the main seat of the living room, his expression dark and cold. Ralph and Virginia stood beside him.

Across the room, Aella stood with her parents.

Justin waited respectfully by the door with several bodyguards.

The air was thick with tension–two families facing each other, the weight of resentment heavy

between them.

Ralph pointed angrily at Aella’s father. “Warren, you owe us an explanation today!”

Warren’s face had gone pale with rage. He and Miriam had been heartbroken ever since they learned their daughter had lost her baby.

He was so furious that his whole body trembled. Warren shouted, his voice shaking with anger, “An explanation? We gave you a good daughter, and your family drove her to the point of losing her baby! And now you have the nerve to demand answers from us?”

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