She had no choice but to mention Old Mr. Ford.
Xavier was naturally fearful of him, and he took a deep breath before sneering, “Not bad, you even
managed to convince that old man.” Zeta’s brows furrowed upon hearing their exchange. She turned to
Stella. “You know Old Mr. Ford?”
Xavier rubbed his wrist, “I’ve already warned you that this woman isn’t decent, and you had better stay
away from her. She’s the culprit behind Weston and Guinevere calling off their engagement…”
Although she was very shocked, she hated the tone Xavier used to lecture her even more.
Her voice darkened with displeasure, “Who do you think you are? We’ve already broken off our
engagement. Who are you to teach me a lesson?” She had never spoken so harshly to Xavier before.
His face fell, “Zeta, I’m saying this for your own good…” Before he could complete his sentence, Stella
stood in front of Zeta. “Did you not hear what she said? She doesn’t want to see you and has nothing to
do with you whatsoever! Old Mr. Ford has also warned you not to bother her any further. Bring your
Daisy with you and scram far away!”
Daisy’s face turned pale.
This wasn’t the Ella she knew.
When did she become so fierce and aggressive?
Zeta didn’t expect Ella to be so forthright in standing up for her.
Based on their interactions during this period, she had found Stella a weak and timid woman.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to take this medicine instead of blaming it on her partner.
She collected herself and looked calmly at the man before her, “Ella is right. No matter your motives,
we no longer have anything to do with each other. I’m also not as good as you say, to be the only
doctor capable of seeing Daisy. So please don’t come bothering me from now on.”
Xavier had never faced such obstacles with Zeta. He had gotten used to Zeta looking admiringly and
lovingly at him.
He always saw her as a young girl, and never as a fully grown, mature woman.
Anger rose in his chest.
“Even if our engagement is called off, we’ve known each other since childhood, and I see you as a
sister. Don’t get involved with someone like Ella. A woman like her would stoop at nothing to get what
she wants!”
Smack!
Zeta raised her hand and slapped his cheek.
“Firstly, she is my patient. Secondly, even my grandparents don’t interfere with who I befriend. What
gives you the right to nit-pick on my decisions?” “You hit me…you hit me just because of this woman?”
“So what if I did?” Zeta sneered, “Don’t think that I have no temper! I’ll call for security if you don’t
scram right away!” Daisy pulled Xavier’s sleeve. “Forget it, let’s go.” She took a deep look at Ella, a
tinge of awe in her eyes.
Seems like she wasn’t just capable of winning over men; she was capable enough to win Zeta’s heart,
enough for Zeta to stand up for her. Of course, it could be partly due to Zeta’s animosity toward her, but
she could tell that Ella was sharp enough to use Zeta’s hatred toward her to her advantage.
It was certainly not wise to underestimate Ella.
Xavier had never received such terrible treatment before and naturally did not want to stay here a
moment longer. He turned on bis heels and left.
“Don’t blame me for not warning you. If you find yourself deceived by her, don’t come crying to me!”
Zeta saw the two disappear around the corner, and the door slammed behind them with considerable
force.
Along the corridor.
Xavier halted in his footsteps as he stared in disbelief at the door that had just slammed shut. He just
couldn’t hold back that surge of anger in his heart.
How dare she slam the door on him!
