Chapter 73
Even if Maria had stolen the flour, how was it a big deal?
It was not as if the kitchen of the Jenkins family home was a grain warehouse.
Even if Maria stole all the flour in the kitchen, it would not be a big enough matter to file a police case.
But on second thought, Vivian concluded that stealing flour was just the kind of thing that a country girl Like Maria would do. Even though the Jenkins family had many Luxury goods just lying around in the house, Maria didn’t know their value. The only thing she had thought of to steal was food from the kitchen.
“Why did you steal flour? It’s too embarrassing to even talk about. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Anyway, it’s not a big deal. You should go to Mom and Dad to admit your mistake. Don’t worry. I’ll go with you,” Vivian said decisively, as if she had the final say in the matter.
Hearing this, Lily was secretly happy. Despite how generous Vivian sounded, she insisted that Maria apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. It was clear that Vivian also hated Maria.
Having worked for many rich families before, Lily was quite observant and immediately saw through Vivian’s thoughts.

A normal person would eat about a pound of food a day. Judging by Maria’s slender figure, it was impossible for her to eat at one meal what a normal person would eat in a day.
“Miss Maria, stop denying it. You are a thief!” Lily said in smug satisfaction.
She had just finished speaking when Julie slowly walked down from the second floor of the villa, carrying an empty bowl in her hands.
In her bedroom, Julie had finished the whole bowl of noodles and even drunk up the soup to the last drop.
Even though it was just a normal bowl of homemade noodles, she felt like she hadn’t tasted such delicious food in a long time.
Because of that, Julie now had a good impression of Maria.
When she came downstairs, she was confused to see Lily and Vivian blocking the door of Maria’s room in a hostile way.
“They accused me of stealing,” Maria said to Julie calmly. In her tone, there was no hint of pleading or an intention to ask for help. She simply seemed to be answering Julie’s unasked question.
Julie was stunned.
