Chapter 9
Hearing that, people around began commenting.
"That's right. Janet takes herself too seriously."
"Who does she think she is? Only the Lindseys pamper her. We won't."
Janet was humiliated for the first time. She felt furious and annoyed, rushing over and trying to push Helen.
Unexpectedly, Helen dodged her in time, and she fell to the ground.
Helen said helplessly, "Everyone can see it, right? I didn't even touch her."
She lowered her head and threatened gently, "Janet Lindsey, I know you were the one who pushed me just now. If you do this to me again, Mr. Zac will be the first to know about it."
With a smile, she raised her voice, "Ms. Lindsey, do you need my help?"
Janet turned pale upon hearing that. She hurriedly stood up and ran away.
From a distance, Chandler had been silently paying attention to the scene.
He had assumed that Helen would get bullied, but she didn't seem as stupid as he thought. Unconsciously, he slightly smiled as if he had discovered an interesting prey.
After the farce ended, Helen had lost her interest in staying here. Looking at Margaret, she said, "Ms. Leonard, I have to leave. Pardon me."
"I'm sorry for what happened just now." Margaret looked kind. But actually, she secretly blamed Janet's stupid actions.
Just as Helen turned around, she heard a ripping sound. Was her dress' zipper broken? She was so unlucky today!
She could only hold tightly to the zipper to keep her dress from falling. Although she had turned around, she could imagine Margaret's gloating.
Zac saw it, planning to take off his coat to cover Helen, but Chandler was a step faster than him.
"What happened to your dress?" he said in a deep voice.
"The back zipper is broken."
Glancing at Margaret, he seemed to have an idea. "Let's leave first."
...
Margaret restrained herself when she heard his cold voice. She wondered since when he was here.
She smiled stiffly, trying to keep him. "Chandler, I just returned to Choloot. You can ask someone else to send Helen back. I haven't danced with you yet."
"No need." Chandler ignored Margaret and turned to Helen. "I'll take you back."
"Okay," she responded, not expecting him to help her.
Jenson saw Chandler leaving early and exclaimed, "Chandler, why are you leaving so early?"
Moving his gaze, he saw Helen wearing a man's coat, then shouted, "Hey, you ugly! Don't try to seduce my brother!"
She rolled her eyes in silence. She had also hoped to leave alone. She felt so embarrassed when many people looked at her, especially Margaret, who seemed to want to cut her into pieces.
But Chandler looked stern and didn't respond to her. She could only hold on to his coat in embarrassment.
Zac held his coat that he did not pass to Helen, staring at her leaving figure. Vaguely, he had an inexplicable feeling.
He wondered why Chandler was so nice to her. Was it just because of Esmond's orders?
...
Margaret watched in disappointment as Chandler accompanied Helen out. She was so angry that her whole body was trembling, full of jealousy.
She thought, "She is just a wild, ugly, uneducated woman! How can she be qualified to compete with me for Chandler? Helen Spencer, I won't make it easy for you! Just wait and see!"
