Chapter 352 The Clash in the Restaurant
Finished
Anna was pregnant, so Noel didn’t dare get too close. Still, he forced himself to speak. “Mrs. Cunningham, you wouldn’t be able to handle the consequence of going after Dr. Reid.”
Jenny added fuel to the fire. “Everyone knows Mr. Winter already divorced that bitch. Aunt Anna is Mrs. Cunningham now, and she’s carrying the next Cunninghams heir. So what if she wants to put someone in their place?”
Daphne sneered, arms crossed. “Mr. Frost, if you want to suck up to your boss, you should cozy up to Ms. Guinevere. Once she marries your boss, maybe she’ll give you a promotion. That bitch? She’s nothing but an ex–wife now, completely irrelevant.”
The trio was clearly there to stir trouble with Aella. Noel found this situation tricky.
The two bodyguards managed to block Daphne and Jenny, but Noel didn’t dare to approach the pregnant Anna.
Anna walked straight into the restaurant and called out, “Dr. Reid, what clever tricks you have! You already divorced Mr. Winter, but he still crawls back and serves you like a loyal dog.”
Aella glanced at Brad. The two exchanged a look and stood up.
At the same time, Raine and Floyd rose from their table nearby.
The four of them looked at one another. Raine pointed at Aella and Brad and asked, “You two- what are you doing here?”
Brad pointed back before she could finish. “I should ask you that. What are you doing here?”
Raine gestured toward Floyd. “I’m on a blind date.”
Brad pointed at Aella. “We’re just here for a meal.”
Brad greeted Floyd politely. Raine quickly introduced everyone.
Floyd checked his phone, answered a call, and then excused himself and left.
The moment Floyd stepped out, Anna waddled over, her hand on her belly.
Noel’s stomach dropped. Obviously, this would end badly. He quickly signaled the bodyguards to release Jenny and Daphne and step back.
Both women rushed into the restaurant. Noel followed right behind.
Aella asked, “Mrs. Cunningham, what do you mean by that?”

Anna rubbed her belly and smiled coldly. “I mean, Dr. Reid, you sure have skills. After getting a divorce, you can make Mr. Winter’s men bow down to you like obedient dogs”
Aella couldn’t take it anymore. She interrupted, “Mrs. Cunningham, if you have something to say, then say it. But please show some respect.”
Even though Noel worked for Tyrone, he had always treated Aella with respect. Watching him get accused like this made her furious.
Daphne pointed straight at Noel. “He’s the one who stopped us at the door with bodyguards. He even threatened us! Isn’t that your idea?”
Jenny added sharply, “This isn’t your restaurant, Dr. Reid. Why is it that you can eat here, but we get blocked from entering?”
Aella turned to Noel. “Mr. Frost, are they telling the truth?”
Noel panicked and waved his hands fast. “No, no, Dr. Reid! Don’t believe a word they said!”
There was no way he could let Aella find out that his boss had sent him to watch over her.
He gritted his teeth and went all in. “Here’s what really happened, Dr. Reid. I was off work, buying food for my wife. When I passed by this restaurant, I overheard these three talking about causing trouble for you. They were saying awful things, things I couldn’t just ignore. So, I spoke up, and they turned around and blamed me instead!”
Noel flipped the story on them. The trio instantly lost it.
Anna was now certain that Noel and Aella were working together.
She jabbed a finger at Aella. “Go ahead and deny it, but there are cameras at the entrance. We’ll see who’s lying!”
Before anyone could respond, Daphne lunged at Noel. “You look decent and proper, but you’re a snake! You stopped us at the door, and now you’re trying to twist the story!”
Noel raised his arm to shield his face, stumbling backward as Daphne shoved him. “I swear, I was just passing by!” he repeated desperately.
Aella stood up. Her voice was calm but firm. “I believe Mr. Frost. He’s not the type to lie.”
She had known Noel for years. Aella trusted his integrity.
Aella warned, “Mrs. Cunningham, I know you resent me, but let’s be honest. Zera broke the law. She brought that on herself. You can be angry, but you can’t blame me.”

Anna snapped back, her tone sharp. “Don’t twist my words, Dr. Reid! I came here for dinner, not for you!”
Aella’s patience was wearing thin. “Mrs. Cunningham, you’re not young anymore. You married into the Cunninghams because you’re having a baby. Why don’t you stay home, rest, and focus on your baby? If you keep trying to get back at me and something happens to your baby, your place in that family will be gone.”
Anna’s face twisted with rage. “Did you just curse my baby?!”
Before anyone could react, she grabbed a glass of juice from the table and threw it straight at Aella.
Brad and Noel moved instantly. Brad pulled Aella toward him. The drink splashed all over Noel instead.
Aella gasped, guilt flashing across her face. She quickly grabbed some napkins and handed them to Noel.
