Chapter 323 Ignored
Aella’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
So this is Vivienne’s mother–Jasmine Guinevere.
What a day. Trouble just keep coming one after another.

Aella rose from her chair. Standing in front of Jasmine, she slipped her hands into the pockets of her white coat.
“Mrs. Guinevere,” Aella said coolly, “whatever you want to do for Vivienne is your business. But this is
my
clinic. If you keep talking like that, I won’t stay polite.”
Jasmine was proud, but she wasn’t stupid.
As the lady of the powerful Guineveres, she would never stoop so low as to get into a fight with someone like Aella. That would only make her look cheap.
She stood up calmly, meeting Aella’s gaze with a sharp look.
Her voice dripped with sarcasm. “I’ve seen plenty of people who want to do bad things and still keep a good reputation. You say I’m defending Vivienne–but tell me, what about when Mr. Winter got hurt saving you? What does that mean?”
“That was his own choice,” Aella said evenly.
“I’m divorced from Tyrone,” she continued. “We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Whether your daughter and he get engaged or married is none of my business. Go talk to Tyrone if you want attention, not me.”
Jasmine gave a satisfied nod. “Dr. Reid, I’ll remember what you said today.”
As soon as Jasmine left Aella’s office, Daniel knocked and stepped in.
“You need any help?” he asked.
Aella sighed and shook her head.
Daniel frowned. “Aella, Vivienne and that Zera woman aren’t even in the same league. The Guineveres are one of the most powerful families out there–tough, sharp, and ruthless. Vivienne might have a decent reputation, but her mother is a nightmare to deal with.”

gets harder.”
Daniel looked serious. “If anything happens, promise me you’ll tell me right away.”
Aella gave him a helpless smile. “Daniel, I didn’t do anything wrong. So I’m not afraid.”
She decided to take things as they came.
She didn’t start trouble, but she wouldn’t run from it either.

Daniel suddenly said, “The Cunninghams are hosting a dinner party this weekend. If you’ve got time, come with me as my plus–one. There’s someone I’d like you to meet.”
Aella raised a brow. “Wait, you mean the Cunninghams? One of the Eight Great Families?”
Daniel nodded. “Yeah. George Cunningham just got back from Ressovia. He’s throwing a party to introduce his new wife.”
Aella blinked. New wife? Didn’t he just turn 50?

Must be nice to be rich.
