“Please let me go~ let me go, it hurts!”

Elsie's screams seemed to fill the house, bringing people out of their rooms to see what was happening.

Helio came to see what chaos was happening in his house, and he smiled when he saw Victoria at the front of the stairs, forcing Elsie to follow her by pulling her hair.

“I just gave her the permission and she did it right away. Really impatient.”

Helio crossed his arms, watching what would happen next from the second floor.

Victoria pushed Elsie hard onto the floor, the people saw that in shocked, including Claudia.

"What are you doing?" Claudia asked in a high voice, looking angry but Victoria didn't care and shouted.

“I'm going to get clear about something here so you all listen carefully,” said Victoria. “I am the mistress of this house! And I have the absolute right to take care of whatever happens in this house, including disciplining an ignorant maid like this one!”

Elsie was scared. She didn't want to admit Victoria but Victoria's hard slaps and words made her couldn't help but feel the woman's strong dominance.

Elsie wanted help from Claudia, to come and reprimand Victoria, she was sure Claudia will win.

“What are you doing, you slum rag? Who do you think you are?”

Elsie smiled, finally help came.

But her smile disappeared when Victoria slapped Claudia's hand hard.

“Put your hands away. I haven't finished yet.”

Claudia was stunned and lost for words for a moment.

“Listen, all of you! Tonight I found this maid fast asleep in one of the rooms in this house. She told me boldly that she usually did that and I shouldn't disturb her sleep. Are you guys also doing the same thing because you only have one master?”

The servants bowed their heads in fear. They were Victoria's bullies, and now definitely didn't expect that Victoria would do this as their new mistress.

“And does the butler of this house didn't discipline her juniors well?”

Nelly, the butler flinched when Victoria mentioned her.

She was silent with sweat on her forehead, slightly pale then looked down deeper.

“I'm sorry, Mrs. Victoria! I will definitely discipline them well after this. Please forgive my negligence.”

Victoria felt a little satisfied seeing Nelly bow obediently and fearfully towards her. But the problem wasn't over yet.

"What are you doing? Do you want to act arrogantly now?"

Claudia pulled Victoria to look at her.

"How pathetic. Just because you are Helio's wife, you immediately take revenge? Stop this cheap show because I'm sick of seeing it."

"You have to restrain yourself from throwing up."

"What?"

"Yes, because it's still not finished." Victoria turned to Elsie. "So, you still don't want to apologize?" she asked Elsie, but it seemed that Elsie didn't want to apologize to Victoria.

"Mrs. Claudia...." Elsie called Claudia, her eyes was looking for a help.

Claudia moved fast, but Victoria moved faster to grab Elsie's hair and pulled her to scream.

"I talk to you and how dare you look at someone else?" said Victoria. "After yelling at me, pulling me, and disrespecting me, you are still so arrogant to apologize properly. How could you work for this grace family? What a shame, lady."

"Please, let me go~"

"Not that easy this time." Victoria answered with a cold smile. "Then should I kick you out if this house so you can reflect on your mistakes?"

Elsie startled to hear that.

"No... no... don't fire me, please. Mrs. Claudia...."

"Do you think she will help you? How funny." Victoria laughed, sending Claudia offened. "Look at her now, she just standing right there, can't do nothing to help you even though you was so hard on working just to be on her side. Now, the only one who can help you is me, Elsie. I... the one you always bullied with your bold tongue and cheap attitude."

Victoria softly said it to Elsie, making her chilled and scared even more.

To the point that elsie had realize, she should kowtowed to Victoria and begged for forgiveness.

"I am sorry...," Elsie said trembling.

"I can't hear you."

"I am sorry... I am sorry, Mrs. Victoria! I have been rude to you, please forgive me. Don't fire me, please, Mrs. Victoria."

Victoria stood up, so Elsie could properly kowtow to her.

With a cold stare, Victoria looked at Claudia. She showing off her win on a point, that she had the authority of this house like no one could stop her.

It pissed Claudia off. She ran towards Helio.

"Honey, why are you just standing right here? You see what she's doing now? She tries to act like she has authority, when she absolutely doesn't deserve it. Tell her to stop acting like she's the mistress of this house, Honey!"

Helio was enjoying the show, but his smile fainted and he stared at Claudia coldly when her voice sounded getting higher.

"Why are you scolding me?" asked him.

"What? I am not...."

"She's my wife, so let her do whatever she wants," Helio said. Now he lost his mood to watch the show until the end, and he wanted to go back for a rest.

But Claudia stopped him like a child.

"But I am your wife too! I am the one who deserve to hold the highest authority of this house. I am the one who's gonna descipline the maids, not her!"

"Oh wow, are you the new owner of this house?"

Claudia fell silent.

"I am the master of this house and I am the one who holds the highest authority here. If I let her do that, you should realize that she can do what she wants only if I gave her permission. Now if you get it, go back to your room and don't wander around me like a cat. I hate it."

Helio returns to his room, leaving Claudia in shock and disbelief for what she heard.

If Victoria had the authority over all of the maids, then it was what happened. Helio gave her the right and it was just making Claudia couldn't believe it.

Claudia looked at Victoria who also looked at her. But now, Victoria could give her a haughty smile, like she was won and Claudia was the loser this time.

"Shit. Did I lose to that slum rag?"
