The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 246 Ruby Makes a Scene at Goodwill Pharmacy Marcus took the slip to the front desk at Goodwill Pharmacy. He handed the paper to the clerk, paid, and received a receipt in return.

He was just about to return to the courtyard with the receipt in his hand when a shrill voice sounded, "Zane Holt, you cout right this second! Do you really think you can just break up withlike that? What did I do wrong? Why are you breaking up withfor no reason?" Marcus stopped and turned to the yelling woman who had just walked in. It was Ruby Sinclair-the illegitimate daughter of the Sinclair family.

Ruby scanned the pharmacy as she shouted, and she soon saw Marcus standing not too far away.

Dressed in a well-tailored suit, Marcus stood tall and confident, a picture of elegance. His striking features and cold, dark eyes carried a powerful sense of authority when he turned his gaze to her.

Ruby took a step backward instinctively. She knew who Marcus was he was that bitch Sophia's friend.

There was a rumor that Marcus did not like women. Not even his fiancée, Emma, could get close to him, but Sophia had managed to befriend him for sunfathomable reason.

If it weren't for Marcus' frequent visits to the Sinclair residence to protect Sophia openly, Ruby and Julia would've gotten rid of her by now.

There was no way she would still be alive and well today.

Sophia hadn't returned hfor the past few days, and she had been ignoring all calls. If she weren't dating Sky right now, whose family was powerful enough for the Sinclairs to fear, Ruby would've used this as an excuse to make Sophia suffer.

"Ruby, what are you doing here?" Zane ran out from the courtyard. He looked impatient when he saw Ruby. "You can't make a scene here at the pharmacy. I've broken up with you. We don't serve people like you here. Get out!" "Why should I?" Ruby turned her gaze away from Marcus and grabbed Zane's hand. "You can't break up with me. I didn't agree with it. I'm still your girlfriend!" "I don't need your fucking permission to break up with you." Zane pried her hand off and dragged her toward the door.

Goodwill Pharmacy was a place of business. He couldn't let Ruby disrupt things, especially with Natalie there. Even though he didn't know what happened between Ruby and Natalie, there was one thing he was sure of Natalie did not like Ruby.

And if Natalie did not like Ruby, then he didn't like her either.

Besides, Ruby's mother, Julia White, was a homewrecker and even flaunted her affair in front of Samantha, angering her so much that she almost died. She also made Ivan send Samantha away to a faraway convent. Even so, as long as Ivan remained married to Samantha, Julia would always be the other woman, no matter how much favor she gained from Ivan. Ruby, in turn, would always be an illegitimate child.

Zane despised Ivan for abandoning his lawfully wedded wife and favoring another woman instead. Unfortunately, Julia had somehow managed to win over Zane's mother, Luna Yoder.

After scareful maneuvering, Julia had managed to convince Luna to arrange a meeting between Ruby and Zane. After just two meetings, Luna insisted that the two of them enter a relationship.

Zane, being a good son, did not want to upset his mother and face his family's wrath, so he had no choice but to agree to date Ruby.

He had always considered himself her boyfriend in nonly. He barely even spoke to Ruby most days; why was she now acting like they were sloving couple? "Ruby Sinclair, letmake this clear-I don't owe you anything. We've been splitting everything during our relationship, and I've never spent your money!" Zane said.

Once they were outside, he let go of Ruby immediately and rubbed his hands on his pants.

His obvious disgust infuriated Ruby. She kicked him in the leg.

"You fucking crazy bitch!" Zane lost his temper as well and kicked her right back.

Ruby screamed, "Fuck you, Zane! Is this how you treat your girlfriend? I'll fight you!" She lunged at Zane, who stepped aside quickly. As she stumbled forward, he kicked her right on her butt. "We're broken up. You're not my girlfriend anymore." Ruby landed face-first onto the ground.

When she had stormed into Goodwill Pharmacy, she had imagined a tic confrontation that would end with Zane begging for her forgiveness on his knees.

Instead, she was the one who ended up on the ground.

While sprawled on the ground, Ruby's face twisted in rage.

Zane stood before her and jabbed a finger at her. "Letrepeat myself, Ruby. We are done. If you harassagain, I won't be so polite next time. I've never accepted any gifts from you or spent any of your money-stop trying to extort me." With that, he turned to leave. Ruby got to her feet and yelled after him, "Zane Holt, if you dare break up with me, I'll tell your mother! I'll get Aunt Luna to help me!" "Go ahead!" Zane rolled his eyes. "How old are you that you need your parents to settle your conflicts? Do you needto call the police and have them lecturetoo?" "You-" Ruby stomped her foot in anger, chest heaving as she watched Zane disappear into Goodwill Pharmacy.

She refused to let this go, so she stormed back into the pharmacy Before Zane could stop her, she declared, "I'm here to see a doctor and get smedicine. You can't throwout now!" "Goodwill will not serve you," Zane said flatly. "Please leave." "Why not?" Ruby scoffed, her eyes blazing with anger. "You don't want my business, huh? Don't regret this, Zane." With that, she suddenly rushed to a nearby shelf and knocked everything to the knocked.

"Ruby Sinclair, have you lost your fucking mind?" Zane roared as he rushed to stop her. However, Ruby was faster. She darted through the counter and ran to the courtyard.

Natalie was sitting in the courtyard, having tea while reviewing

paperwork, when she heard the commotion. Before she could get up gehup and see what happened, Ruby~ rushed in and tried to swing@ slap at her face. Natalie narrowed her eyes and quickly raised a hand to block her, but someone else moved even faster.

Marcus appeared suddenly and grabbed Ruby's hand.

"So that's why you suddenly broke up with me, Zane Holt!" Ruby cried. "You've been hiding a tramp in your pharmacy!" Marcus' grip tightened, making Ruby's face contort in pain.

When she rushed in, the first thing she saw was Natalie drinking tea in the courtyard. Jealousy and anger clouded her mind.

In the past, Zane had never allowed her into the courtyard when shem visited him at work.

"Ruby Sinclair? The illegitimate daughter of the Sinclair family? How dare you make a scene at my pharmacy?" Natalie stood up and kicked Ruby's knee. At the stime, Marcus released her wrist.

Ruby collapsed painfully onto her knees with a loud thud.
