In the future?
Was this a place someone of her low-class background could just casually walk into?
If it weren't for her connections to the Landon family and her friendship with Winona, she would never have stepped foot inside this estate in her entire life.
"People ought to know their place, Ms. Vance. From now on, you..."
"My business is none of your concern," Sebastian interrupted, his voice dropping to a dangerous pitch.
Victoria's face drained of color. "Sebastian, I am your aunt. Is that any way to speak to an elder?"
"An elder?" A mocking smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. "You hardly qualify."
"You—"
"Let's go," he said, casting a glance at a stunned Winona. He grabbed his overcoat from the rack, shrugged it on, looped a scarf around his neck, and strode purposefully toward the door.
Winona looked at Riley. "Come on, let's get out of here."
Riley picked up her jacket from the floor, slipped it on, and took Alora from Winona's arms.
Winona quickly grabbed Alora's little pink blanket from the coat rack, wrapping it snugly around the toddler. The two women then hurried after Sebastian.
Victoria stood there, a suffocating wave of rage washing over her. She ground her teeth, seething internally: You ungrateful brat. You won't be acting so arrogant for much longer. Just wait until I find that woman... we'll see who has the last laugh!
Outside The Manor House.
Winona glanced between Sebastian and Riley. She wanted to say something, but she bit her tongue, painfully aware that the estate walls had ears.
Sebastian walked over to Winona's car and pulled open the back door. "Get in."
Winona was genuinely flattered. Even knowing he was putting on a show for his aunt's benefit, having the untouchable CEO of St. John Global open a car door for her was a rare privilege. It would definitely be something to brag about in her social circles later.

Update please...
Its better when the female lead is strong. Nothing worse then reading a story with a weak main character...
