Aella sighed. “This dress was a gift from Mr. Fulford. I’ll just call him and ask him about the price.”

She had barely finished before the whole room erupted in murmurs.

Jenny sneered, “Dr. Reid, Mr. Fulford is a heavyweight in the legal field. Why would he give you such a cheap dress?”

Aella shot Jenny a cool glance. Then, she called Mason and put the phone on speaker for everyone to hear.

Tyrone’s gaze grew colder as he realized the dress Aella wore was from Mason.

“Why are you still up so late?”

The call connected, and Mason’s calm, warm voice came through loud and clear, with a hint of

concern.

Aella unconsciously softened her tone. “Mr. Fulford, how much did the dress you gave me last week cost?”

There was a brief pause on the other end.

Mason said, “It’s nothing, really. As long as it suits you, that’s all that matters.”

Aella said honestly, “I came to the Cunninghams‘ party with Daniel tonight, and someone dirtied the dress. They want to pay for it at the original price.”

Mason had insisted on gifting her the dress as a thank you for taking care of his son recently.

She knew it must be expensive, but Mason never said how much it cost, so she couldn’t pay him back.

A few more seconds of silence passed. Then Mason spoke again, “Are you in trouble? Do you need me to come get you?”

Everyone in the room could hear how much he cared for her.

Jenny and Anna exchanged glances, both of their faces turning ugly.

Mason wasn’t part of the Eight Great Families and rarely had dealings with them, but nobody dared offend him.

Tyrone’s fists clenched as he stared at Aella, his veins bulging with the effort of holding himself

No matter who was around, she was always cold with him. Yet, she spoke so gently to Mason.

Brad watched Tyrone’s reaction with concern and frowned.

George wiped the sweat from his brow.

He’d always assumed Aella was just some socialite who’d fallen out of favor, and that her. closeness to Daniel and the others was all business, so he’d let Anna do as she liked.

He never imagined Daniel, Brad, and Tyrone would all stand up for her–not to mention that the ever elusive Mason had just offered to come pick her up.

He realized now he’d underestimated her completely.

Aella glanced at Anna and asked Mason, “Mr. Fulford, just tell me the price.”

“Aella, I know!” Henry’s childish voice came through the phone. “It starts with a three, and followed by … one, two, three, four… seven zeros.”

As Mason scolded his son quietly on the other end, Aella couldn’t help but smile. “Thank you, sweetheart. Now listen to your dad and go to sleep.”

Aella hung up and glanced around at the stunned faces in the room.

George and Anna could hardly believe she was Mason’s son’s godmother.

Aella calmly took out her phone. “Mrs. Cunningham, that’s 30 million plus medical expenses. Do you want to pay cash or transfer?”

Anna was still too shocked to react.

She blurted, “That dress can’t be worth more than a few thousand. Why would you believe a child?”

Jenny, Julian, and Daphne echoed, “Yeah, that kid can’t even count to ten. Why trust him?”

Brad picked at his ear. “That dress was custom made for Dr. Reid by my sister–in–law, at Mr. Fulford’s request. The diamond on the belt alone is worth ten million. Mrs. Cunningham, maybe you don’t know anything about luxury, but please don’t question my family. You’re only going to make a fool of yourself.”

The room buzzed with talk, and Anna nearly lost her footing.

Before Brad finished speaking, George transferred the 30 million to Aella’s account. He also gave the 200,000 cash he had to her.

Aella didn’t hesitate to shove the cash in her bag. “You all keep talking. I’m leaving.”

She gave Daniel a look, and they left together.

Brad, seeing how bad Tyrone looked, tried to persuade him quietly, “You shouldn’t stay; it’s dangerous. Let me take you to the hospital.”

Tyrone shook him off. “Don’t worry about me.”

Why?

Why would Mason give Aella a 30–million–dollar dress?

Aella is always so careful with boundaries, never taking gifts from others.

She always told me she only liked my gifts.

So why?

Why would she take something from Mason?

Brad watched as Tyrone staggered away and quickly followed.

Everyone else started heading downstairs too, leaving Anna, George, Julian, and Daphne behind, their faces ashen.

Anna looked as if all the blood had drained from her face.

She’d hoped to embarrass Aella and avenge her niece, but she’d been outplayed–and lost over 30 million in the process.
