The Doctor Saved His Maid From a Furious Heiress, Revealing a Dark Mansion Secret

A Clash in the Grand Entryway

The pristine marble foyer of the Sinclair estate usually echoed with the quiet whispers of high society, but today, it resounded with raw, unbridled fury. Clara Higgins, a gentle sixty-five-year-old maid who had served the Sinclair family for three decades, knelt trembling on the cold floor. She was desperately scrubbing at a dark, viscous red stain that marred the white stone. Above her stood Victoria Sinclair, clad in a breathtaking ruby-red satin gown that shimmered under the radiant afternoon sun pouring through the tall, arched windows. Victoria's face was distorted with a terrifying rage.

"No! Stop! You stupid old woman, don't touch that!"

Victoria shrieked, her voice reaching a piercing, frantic pitch. Before Clara could retreat, Victoria grabbed a heavy ceramic vase from a nearby pedestal. With a violent thrust, she lifted it high and poured the stagnant water and crushed lilies directly over Clara’s head. Clara let out a terrified shriek, shielding her face as wet petals and freezing water drenched her gray hair and uniform.

But the cruelty was abruptly cut short. From the grand hallway, Dr. Julian Vance, the family's resident physician, came sprinting into view. His white lab coat billowed behind him as he witnessed the assault. Rage flared in his dark eyes.

"Hey! Get away from her!"

Julian roared, charging across the slippery marble. He did not hesitate. Lunging forward, he seized Victoria from behind, his powerful grip locking around her ruby satin shoulders. Victoria gasped, struggling wildly, but Julian dragged her backward with fierce determination. With a powerful shove, he pushed her away from the helpless maid. Victoria stumbled back, colliding heavily with a delicate marble vanity. The expensive piece of furniture groaned under the impact, violently cracking and shattering into sharp, heavy fragments that crashed to the floor around her.
