Chapter 79: Confrontation at the Medical Center

(Isabe ckwood’s POV)

At noon, Diana ckwood apanied me to Shadowmere bMedical /bCenter to see Adrian Whitmore. The medical center was owned by the ckwood Consortium, and as the second grand pup of the ckwood family, I was known by almost everyone in the hospital.

My heels clicked against the polished marble floors as we approached the reception desk. The familiar scent

of antiseptic and the soft hum of medical equipment filled the air.

“Mrs. ckwood, Miss Isabe,” Nurse Jennifer Hayes at the front desk greeted us warmly. Her smile was professional but genuine. “What brings you here?”

I arrogantly raised my chin, letting my status speak for itself. “My mom and I bare /bhere to visit Young Master

Whitmore and his mother.”

Nurse Hayes looked embarrassed, her smile faltering slightly, “Well, Miss Isabe, Young Master and his mother just went out.

“What?” My face twisted with displeasure. I turned to look at Diana ckwood, my voice rising with

indignation. “Mom, how could he do this? I told him I woulde to see him. Is he deliberately avoiding me?”

I had taken ba /bfancy to Adrian Whitmore when I first met him. I was determined to secure a mating bond with

him. Moreover, my father Sebastian ckwood also intended to arrange ba /bmating alliance with the Whitmore

Family.

Although the Whitmore Family had not yet given a reply, at least I knew that no one else was worthy of Adrian Whitmore except me. I was a ckwood, after ball/b.

Diana ckwood frowned, her voice sharp with disapproval. “Can’t you restrain yourself a bit, being a ckwood family daughter?”

“I am the ckwood family’s daughter!” I didn’t care about her criticism. “Who else is worthy of him besides

me?”

I was born into the ckwood family, with a silver spoon in my mouth. An enviable life of wealth and status, and everything I desired was within easy reach. How could I wrong myself?

Diana ckwood shook her head and looked at Nurse Hayes with a forced smile. “Where did Mr. Whitmore

and his mother go? Did they say?”

“They didn’t say” Nurse Hayes shook her head. Then she seemed to remember something and continued, “But it wasn’t bjust /bMr. Whitmore and his mother. There was also a woman with them,”

My attention sharpened immediately. Another woman?

“I heard Mr. Whitmore’s assistant call that woman Miss ckthorne, Nurse Hayes added innocently.

Before Diana ckwood could speak, my face darkened like a storm cloud. Miss ckthorne? What other vixen dared to covet my man?

Chapter b79 /bConfrontation

At the same time, I apanied Adrian Whitmore and Dorothea Whitmore shopping in Shadowmere za downstairs. Except for the two lower floors, the third and fourth floors were all reserved by him, just because he didn’t want Dorothea Whitmore to be disturbed.

I specially wore a thin high–necked chiffon shirt to cover the mate marks on my neck. The fabric felt soft against my skin, hiding the evidence of Marcus’s possessive iming from the night before.

“Sweetheart,e quickly!” Dorothea Whitmore was lying in front of the window of the Enchanted Doll Boutique. Her eyes were full of longing, like a child seeing her favorite toy. “Buy it back, Sweetheart will definitely like it.”

“Madam, if you like it,e into the store and have a look,” Store Manager Roberts came out to greet us enthusiastically. Being able to reserve the entire floor meant the person was either rich or noble. Being able to receive such a person, he couldn’t be happier.

Dorothea Whitmore went straight into the store without hesitation. I smiled and looked at Adrian Whitmore. genuine warmth in my voice. “You never seem to stop Aunt Dorothea from buying anything?”

Although I knew that Adrian Whitmore didn’t care about that little bit of money, it would be a average person to buy so many things back without knowing where to put them.

“As long as she’s happy,” Adrian Whitmore said indulgently, looking at his mother who was as happy as a

child

I also smiled, touched by his devotion. “Aunt Dorothea is really lucky to have a son like you.”

“There’s no way, if I wronged my mom, my dad wouldn’t let me off,” he replied with gentle humor.

Just as I was a about to ask something, a sharp voice came from behind. “Young Master Whitmore, how can

you be with another woman-”

The moment I turned my head, Isabe ckwood was stunned. “How is it you?”

“Why can’t it be me?” I asked calmly, though irritation flickered through me.

Isabe ckwood clenched her hands, her face unsightly.

How could the she–bwolf /bwith Adrian Whitmore be Elena ckwood? Indeedb, /bSophia Rivers was right, this

she–wolf was two–timing behind her cousin’s back!

“So,st time you were with Young Master Sterling, and now you’re clinging to Young Master Whitmore?

Sophia was right, you are two–timing behind Marcus’s back!” Her voice rose with vicious usation. “Elena,

how cheap can you get? Do you just like stealing other people’s men!”

My face darkened at her crude insults. Just as I was about to speak, Adrian Whitmore’s angry voice rang in

my ears.

“Miss ckwood, who I’m with is my right. Who are you to tell me what to do?”

(Isabe ckwood’s POV)

I was stunned by his cold rejection. Except for my cousin bMarcus/bb, /bno man had ever dared to give me the cold shoulder, especially in front of Elena ckwood.

“Young Master Whitmore, you don’t know, she actually is-“I suddenly choked, my chest extremely bstuffy/b.

What I wanted to say was that Elena ckwood was my sister–inw, But in my heart, I had never

acknowledged it. Besides, my cousin hadn’t made the mating bond public. If I said it, wouldn’t I ruin my

cousin’s lifelong happiness with Sephia Rivers?

A cold smile tugged at the corner of Elena’s mouth. I actually am what?”

bI /bgritted my teeth, bunable /bto swallow this anger. “You’re bjust /ba social climber! A gold digger! It’s one thing for you to covet my cousin, but you also flirt with Young Master Sterling, and now you won’t even let Young

Master Whitmore gol”

Adrian Whitmore stood in front of Elena ckwood, smiling faintly. “So this is what the ckwood family’s

upbringing is like?”

“Young Master Whitmore-“I started desperately.

(Diana ckwood’s POV)

“Be!” I arrived just in time to witness this scene. My eyes swept over Elena ckwood behind Adrian Whitmore, and a hint of surprise shed in my eyes.

In my impression, Elena ckwood was just a little sparrow who had flown up a branch and phoenix. I didn’t bother to pay attention to her at all. I just didn’t expect that she could actua by Young Master Whitmore.

It seemed that I had underestimated her.

I walked over with a smile, damage control mode activated. Young Master Whitmore, don’t be angry, it’s because I didn’t teach my daughter well, allowing Be to develop this arrogant personality.”

“Be has balways /bbeen straightforward and outspoken, and her words aren’t pleasant to hear, but she means

no harm, I continued smoothly

“Does Mrs. ckwood call these words ‘straightforward and outspoken“?” The smile on Adrian Whitmore’s face gradually faded, but he still maintained a polite smile. “So insulting words can also be beautified. The ckwood family’s educational style is truly astonishing

My smile froze. How could I not hear the sarcasm in those words? I was blosing /bface. But I couldn’t give up on this mating alliance with the Whitmore Family.

In the ckwood family, I was always suppressed by my eldest sister–inw, Victoria ckwood, who had the support of her family. The olddy’s favorite daughter–inw was also Victoria ckwood.

bI /bgave birth to Isabe ckwood and developed a root of illness, unable to bear a son. My mate Sebastian was also unsessful, not as good as the eldest son, Alexander ckwood. When the olddy passed away in the future, everything in the ckwood family would fall to Marcus ckwood.

At that time, where would Isabe and I have a ce? If I secured a mating alliance with the Whitmore Family, with the Whitmore Family’s son–inw by my side, I wouldn’t have too hard a time in the ckwood family.

My eyes swept over Elena ckwood, and I smiled amiably. “Elena, we’re all family, and Grandmother. Margaret likes you so much. I didn’t expect you to be friends with Young Master Whitmore.”

“You know Be is insensible. She offended you, and I apologize on her behalf. For Grandmother’s sake, please help Be say a few good words to Young Master Whitmore.”

Adrian Whitmore narrowed his eyes and looked at Elena ckwood. A hint of doubt flickered in his

expression at the words “a family.”

Before Elena ckwood could answer, Isabe ckwood couldn’t sit still. “Mom! Why are you apologizing to

her-

“Shut up!” I scolded her harshly. Being a member of the ckwood family, do you not think you have disgraced the ckwood family enough?”

Noticing that I was truly angry, Isabe ckwood’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t dare to speak again.

Elena ckwood crossed her arms and smiled coldly. “Aunt, I’m sorry, I can’t afford to be in this family you

speak of. I have nothing to do with the ckwood family

“So, Elena, you forgot your identity as soon as you came out?” Isabe ckwood pointed at her usingly. “Do you believe that I’ll tell my cousin now and let him… let him deal with you!”

“Go ahead and tell him,” Elena ckwood said with a couldn’t–care–less expression. “Tell him whatever you

want. If Marcus cares about this, his name isn’t ckwood. Of course, if he does care, how will you exin it

to your Sister Sophia, right?”

“You” Isabe ckwood was furious, but these words made her unable to refute.

I stared intently at Elena ckwood. Compared to the Elena ckwood who used to be obedient in the ckwood family and never dared to contradict anyone, I vaguely felt that the person in front of me waspletely different.

Or perhaps, this was Elena ckwood’s true self all along.

“Elena, you know very well how Grandmother Margaret treats you. Don’t go too far,” I warned.

“Aunt, don’t always use the Old Madam to pressure me. It’s the Old Madam who has been kind to me, not you. The Old Madam understands everything I do.” Elena ckwood was extremely calm.

(Elena’s POV)

In the past, I respected everyone in the ckwood family, but except for the Old Madam, no one respected me. I loved Marcus and was willing to endure grievances, but now that I no longer wanted to love him, what did the people and affairs of the ckwood family have to do with me?
