Chapter 723
Veronica was frowning and looked a tad upset. “Devin, all you care about is whether Ellinor is mad.
Why don’t you ask if I’m pissed off too?!”
Devin fell silent.
Feeling neglected, Veronica was annoyed with both Devin and the servants around them. “Huh! This
house is turning into the Mendoza family circus, with everyone siding with that outsider!”

Devin looked helpless, he hadn’t favored anyone. It was Ms. nchet’s fault for barging into Ellinor’s
room in the first ce.
The servants, too, felt they hadn’t done anything wrong. They weren’t favoring Ellinor; they just thought
Ms. nchet had been too rash.
Veronica fumed more and more as she stormed back to her room, so she called Patricia.
The call quickly connected, and Patricia’s familiar and gentle voice echoed. “What’s up. Veronica?”
Veronica didn’t hide her anger. “Patricia, do you know?! Ellinor is acting all high and mighty! She’s
parading around the nchet vi like she’s thedy of the house!”
On the other side, Patricia paused for a moment before responding. “Veronica, don’t panic; tell me
slowly, what happened? Did Ellinor do something outrageous?”
Veronica thought for a moment, trying to stay calm. “She didn’t do anything specific; she just unfairly
has my brother wrapped around her little finger. Now everyone at home treats her like thedy of the
house, they don’t even look at me! She’s even using my brother’s support to treat me like a maid. I’m
so mad!”
Pretending to sympathize, Patricia said, “What? She treats you like a maid? Veronica, I too think
Ellinor’s attitude is a bit over the top; isn’t Theo at home? Doesn’t he care?”
Veronica replied. “My brother has already gone to the office, and that woman, Ellinor, isfortably
sleeping in my brother’s bedroom! Even if my brother was home, he would only help her, not me!
(Patricia, you don’t understand. My brother is nowpletely under Ellinor’s charm, he listens to
everything she says. I really don’t know what Ellinor did to my
brother!
Patricia, why don’t you control my brother? Are you nning to just give my brother to Ellinor? I really
don’t want her to be my brother’s wife!”
Patricia clenched her fist in jealousy after hearing Veronica say Ellinor was sleeping in Theo’s
bedroom, but her tone remained gentle. “Veronica, regardless of my rtionship with your brother, we
can’t let Ellinor disrespect you like this. I’lle over to your house and have a chat with Ellinor!”
Veronica felt touched. “Patricia, you’re really the best! Huh? Patricia, is there a child crying over there?”
Patricia sounded a little ufortable, “Uh… It’s Baber, he’s not feeling well and is a bit fussy.
Veronica, I have to hang up now. I’lle over to your ceter”
Veronica responded. “Okay, cool! Patricia, I’ll be waiting for you.”
After hanging up with Veronica, Patricia looked irritably at Baber, whose head was bandaged and was
crying in the nanny’s arms.
“Alright, Baber, stop crying! It’s breaking my heart! What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone go buy
it for you, okay?”
Patricia put on an overly concerned face, trying to soothe Baber. Otherwise, it would look weird if Baber
kept resisting her.
However, every time she approached Baber, his crying intensified.
The nanny was worried about Baber’s head wound, fearing that his intense crying would lead to ack
of oxygen. She suggested, “Ms. Howard, maybe you shouldn’t get too close to Baber for now. Wait until
his wound heals a bit, then you can hold him.”
Patricia found the child annoying to begin with, and his intense crying was even more irritating. She
waved her hand, “Alright, take good care of him. I have to go out for a bit”
The nanny breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Okay, Ms. Howard, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of
Baber.”
Patricia nced at the still crying Baber, thinking he was bing more and more annoying. She had
chosen him just because he was cute, but she didn’t expect him to be such a handful. Too bad he
couldn’t be returned like a defective product. What a headache!
