The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 Try Them On

Now

Julia understood every word and picked up on the hesitance in Giselle’s tone. She opted not to reply directly but instead said, “Miss Brenna Harper has already arranged for a friend to craft her dress for today’s occasion. It’s unlikely she will wear these two dresses even if they are brought to her.”

The manager scoffed, her expression filled with disdain. She said, “I mean no disrespect to Miss Brenna Harper’s friend, but these dresses are from renowned international designers. Each is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. They far surpass anything a typical tailor could create.”

Standing her ground, Julia challenged the manager, asking, “Are you looking down on Miss Brenna Harper’s

friend?”

With an arrogant tilt of her head, the manager retorted, “Those are your words, not mine. Perhaps Miss Brenna Harper’s friend is just an average tailor. The dress they made won’t be good. It surely can’t match the caliber of international brands.”

She gave Julia a dismissive look. “Lead the way quickly so I can personally deliver these dresses to Miss Brenna Harper. As a mere maid, you shouldn’t be delaying this.”

Rosie, too, displayed a sense of superiority and disdain toward Julia, intentionally making the situation difficult

for her.

Julia felt infuriated. Although she worked as a maid for the Harper family, she respected her hard–earned position. The Harpers respected her, so why should someone from outside the family treat her with such arrogance?

She said to the manager, “You’re merely a person who sells clothes, earning less than I do. Why should you have the privilege of seeing Miss Brenna Harper?”

Rosie became furious. By insulting the person she had brought, Julia had also insulted her. She attempted to slap Julia but, confined to her wheelchair, was unable to do that.

She scolded Julia sharply, “Did you not hear me? Take her upstairs now. These dresses are crucial, as Brenna needs to wear one today. Any further delays, and I will ask my mother to fire you!”

Julia no longer regarded Rosie as a member of the Harper family. She bluntly said, “Miss Rosie Harper, Miss Brenna Harper already made arrangements with her friend for the dress she will be wearing today. She won’t need these dresses, so let’s not bother her with this matter. Moreover, you are not a member of this family anymore and lack the right to issue orders.”

Undeterred by Rosie’s anger, Julia remained firm.

Rosie, seething with rage, hit the armrest of her wheelchair. “How dare you defy me?”

Julia was resolute. “I answer only to the Harper family. You are no longer part of the Harper family now.”

Rosie let out an irritated snort. “Come on,” she said to the manager. “I’ll take you upstairs.”

Despite her reluctance and hatred for Rosie, Julia didn’t dare stop her and followed her to the third floor.

When Brenna opened the door, she looked momentarily surprised before asking Julia, “Didn’t I already mention that I didn’t want these dresses? Why are they still being brought up?”

Julia said directly, “Miss Rosie Harper insisted on bringing these up. She even belittled the work of your friend, claiming she is merely a mediocre tailor.”

Julia raised an eyebrow and gave Rosie a sharp look, not backing down.

Rosie, seething with anger, retorted, “How can you say something like that? You’re only a maid!”

Julia was unfazed by Rosie’s outrage. Recalling Rosie’s previous stay in the house, she remembered how Rosie had often demeaned the staff with her harsh words and arrogant demeanor. Even after her departure, she still behaved as though she commanded authority here. It seemed Rosie still hadn’t realized her place.

Julia said, “My true employers are Mr. and Mrs. Harper, the two young masters, and Miss Brenna Harper. Miss Rosie Harper, you are merely a visitor here. You are crossing a line by treating me like I am beneath you.”

Brenna and Ellie couldn’t suppress their laughter, clearly amused by Julia’s candidness.

Brenna laughed lightly and addressed Rosie, saying, “Your manner of speaking really is unique. Nowadays, we strive for equality for everyone. She may be a maid, but she earns her keep by working here; she is not someone beneath you. Perhaps you ought to show a bit more respect.”
