Chapter 371
Sir’s tone was dismissive. “You’re just a bankrupt heiress. Don’t
think you can be so arrogant just because you became a doctor
and met a few rich people.”
Sir said, “Even if you worked hard for three lifetimes, you would
never be worthy of Jay!”
Arabella stood up, really not wanting to talk to this old man any
longer.
Her expression turned serious as she said to Sir, “Rest assured,
sir. Even if every other man in the world dropped dead, I would
never get back together with your grandson in this lifetime!”
Before leaving, Arabella didn’t forget to remind the old man,
“And please, sir, keep a tighter leash on your grandson. Stop
letting him be a creep and come bother me all the time.”
Arabella didn’t give Sir a chance to lose his temper and walked
straight out.
Hearing the sound of a teacup slamming hard on the table
behind her, Arabella didn’t look back.
Arabella returned to her office at the hospital’s outpatient clinic.
Chapter 371
Amanda’s mother, Delilah Lewis, knocked and entered
Arabella’s office.
Arabella looked at the lavishly dressed young woman in front of
her, then glanced at the patient’s name on the computer.
Visually, there was quite an age gap.
Arabella asked to confirm, “You’re Delilah?”
Delilah glanced around the office, looked Arabella up and down,
and then sat down.
Arabella began her routine questions. “How long has the
insomnia been going on? Have you taken any medication for it?”
Delilah said, “I’m not here to see a doctor. I’m here to warn you.”
Arabella slowly pulled back the hand she was about to place on
the keyboard.
She met Delilah’s gaze and easily caught the provocation and
disdain in her eyes.
But Arabella didn’t know Delilah, so for a moment, she was a bit
confused, and also on guard.
Arabella said, “Please be clear.”
Delilah slowly toyed with the emerald bangle on her wrist.
Chapter 374
Her warning gaze fixed on Arabella, she said, “Dr. Palmer, whether you and Mr. Melendez were childhood sweethearts or
married for three or four years, that’s all in the past. I hope you
can act with a little more decency and not dream of using that
face of yours to seduce Mr. Melendez into remarrying you!”
Delilah’s words were harsh and unpleasant, and Arabella
couldn’t help but frown.
Delilah continued with a warning look, “Even if you’re not
resigned to it, my daughter Amanda is about to get engaged to
Mr. Melendez. If you dare to ruin their engagement, I won’t let
you get away with it.”
Arabella’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
So this was Amanda’s mother, Mrs. Collins.
It seemed she’d stirred up a hornet’s nest of bitches, all coming to
warn her one by one.
Arabella stood up from her chair.
She stood in front of Delilah, her hands tucked into the pockets
of her white coat.
Arabella said, “Mrs. Collins, I don’t care if you’re eager to pick up
your daughter’s ‘trash, but this is my office. If you say one more
disrespectful word, I won’t be so polite.”
Chapter 371
Delilah was assertive, but she wasn’t stupid.
As the esteemed matriarch of the Collins Clan, she would never
get physical with someone of Arabella’s status.
It would be beneath her.
Delilah stood up, calmly meeting Arabella’s gaze.
She spoke, her words dripping with sarcasm, “I’ve seen plenty of
hypocrites like you. You’re so sure I’m helping my daughter ‘pick
up trash, so what about Mr. Melendez saving you when you
were injured?”
Arabella said, “That was him being a dumbass.“”
Arabella said, “Jayceon and I are already divorced. I have
nothing to do with him now. Whether you get engaged or
married is your business. Go find Jayceon, don’t come here
trying to make your presence known.”
Delilah nodded, seemingly satisfied. “Dr. Palmer, remember
what you said today!”
Delilah had just left Arabella’s office when Zachary knocked
and came in.
Zachary asked Arabella, “Need any help?”
Chapter 371
Arabella shook her head, exhausted.
Zachary said, “Arabella, Amanda is not on the same level as
Georgina. The Collins Clan is notoriously aggressive in our circles. Although Amanda has a decent reputation, her mother is
no pushover”
Zachary said, “The Collins Clan puts their interests first. They
were targeting the Melendez family for a marriage alliance even
before Mr. Melendez married you. Now that you’re divorced,
and judging by Mrs. Collins’s attitude, they’ve probably made full preparations to form a powerful union with the Melendez
family. If Mr. Melendez can’t get over you, the Collins family
will definitely cause trouble for you.”
Zachary said, “If you run into any trouble, tell me right away!“‘
Arabella gave Zachary a helpless look. “Zachary, I have a clear
conscience, so I have nothing to fear.”
I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
She doesn’t start trouble, but she’s not afraid of it either.
Zachary reminded Arabella, “The Caldwells are having a dinner
party this weekend. If you can find the time, come with me as
my date. I want to introduce you to someone.”
Arabella first inquired, “Zachary, is that the Caldwell family, one
Chapter 371
of The Eight Great Clans?”
Zachary nodded. “Mr. Caldwell had a shotgun wedding in R
Country. He’s holding a dinner party back home to introduce his
