The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 313 Even the Mistress' Helper Is Arrogant

"Ms. Sinclair, you're being bullied, but you're still defending him?" Wendy fumed, her face turning beet red with rage.

She bent down and pulled Ruby to her feet, asking, "Are you okay, miss? Did he kick you anywhere serious?"

Wendy continued indignantly, "Everyone here saw it. Zane bullied Ms. Sinclair. Now, call Thomas to examine her and get the medicine the madam needs. Make sure you wrap it up nicely and deliver it to us with proper respect."

"Wendy, stop!" Ruby panicked and quickly tried to cover Wendy's mouth.

Wendy, despite technically being a helper, was Julia's aunt. Over the years, she had been treated almost as an equal to Julia within the Sinclair household, using her status to act arrogant and domineering.

There had even been an incident where her haughty attitude offended someone powerful, causing Ivan to lose a business deal. Ivan had returned home furious, warning Wendy that despite her ties to Julia, she was still just a helper. If she ever stepped out of line again, she would be kicked out of the family for good.

After that, Wendy toned down her behavior when out in public. But now, Ruby feared Wendy was slipping back into her old ways, flaunting the Sinclair name like it gave her free rein.

Natalie's recent welcome party was one of those rare events Wendy and Julia had not attended. Julia had wanted to go, but her health had held her back. Besides, William and Charlotte's solid relationship and William's disdain for men who mistreated their wives made it risky.

Publicly, the Walkers might have remained polite to Julia. Still, privately, any retaliation from them could cause serious problems for the Sinclairs as Ivan would never be able to handle it.

Even when Ivan and Ruby attended the party, they used an invitation intended for Sophia. Luckily for them, Sophia was nowhere to be found. She did not even return home.

This allowed Ruby to sneak into her room to get the invitation. Ivan had no desire to take Ruby but had been forced to after their previous fallout with Natalie at Goodwill Pharmacy.

Now, with Wendy's behavior spiraling out of control, Ruby felt her anxiety spike. She reached out in a desperate attempt to silence Wendy, but Wendy misinterpreted her fear as weakness and shoved her aside.

Wendy declared confidently, "Miss, there's no need to worry. Goodwill Pharmacy isn't anything special.
