Chapter 32 Ask For Help
"Maria, can you explain?" Bill asked with a sullen face.He had picked Maria up from the countryside just to deal with the engagement with the Wilson family.
But now, Maria had gone behind his back and auditioned for the Legend of Anne.
What was worse, it sounded like she might be chosen to play the lead role! All this information was too unexpected for Bill to swallow.
Was Maria an ambitious woman? If she couldn't behave herself, she might even end up destroying the harmonious relationship between the Jenkins family and the Wilson family.
Thinking of this, Bill's dissatisfaction with Maria intensified.
"As I said, I went to Yeez Entertainment for personal affairs.I didn't sign up for the audition.I went to the studio just to watch, but the director misunderstood the situation and arranged for me to try on the costumes.That's all."
Maria explained the whole thing in a natural way, looking neither humble nor arrogant.
Perhaps it was because she was so calm that Bill didn't know what to say next.It was Lily who finally interjected, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Wow, Miss Maria, you are so awesome.A big director like Francis appreciated you as soon as he saw you! What a pity that you've just been living in a small town your whole life.A talent like you shouldn't be neglected."
Lily's words sounded flattering on the surface, but they were designed to mock Maria for her humble origins and her arrogance.
A big director wanted to choose a country girl to be the heroine of a new TV show.It did sound incredible.
Vivian shot Lily an approving glance, and the latter beamed in excitement, as if she was getting a pay raise.
"Ha-ha.Then Maria, what was your business in Yeez Entertainment? You used to live in the countryside.How could you know any of the big stars signed to Yeez Entertainment?" Vivian asked with a sneer.
"I don't know any of them." Once again, Maria was telling the truth.
The only person she knew in the whole of Yeez Entertainment was Jeremy, the president.
Of course, that was other than Lyndsey, whom she had met for the first time today.
"I went to meet an online friend and give him something."
Maria usually communicated with Jeremy on the Internet, so it wasn't wrong for her to call him her online friend.
Seeing that the Jenkins family still wanted to question her, Maria ran out of patience.Her beautiful face gradually turned cold, and her tone became terse.
"I’m sorry, but I'm an adult.No matter where I go, what I do, and who I meet, it's my choice.No one has the right to interfere."
After saying these words coldly, Maria turned around and went back to her room.
"She...How dare she?" Vivian cried, annoyed at this setback.
She pointed in the direction of Maria's room and asked angrily, "Isn't she afraid that we will drive her back to the countryside?"
Bill also looked unhappy.
Julie, who had been watching the whole scene in silence, finally spoke up. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"We're the ones who took the initiative to offer her a rich life.Maria didn't ask for it.It's useless to threaten her with it."
The living room went silent.
When they thought about Julie's words, no one could refute.
The Jenkins family didn't seem to have anything to coerce or bribe Maria with.
Seeing how obediently Maria had come to Sheffield, Bill and Vivian looked down on her and assumed that she was looking forward to a comfortable life in a rich family.
After getting along with Maria for the past few days, however, they had found that she was like a hermit who had no desire for anything.
"Vivian, ask your Aunt Patricia about it.As long as Mariais not selected as the lead actress and as long as she is willing to marry into the Wilson family, I can overlook her disobedience this time," Bill said in a deep voice.
At the mention of Patricia Hughes, Vivian's eyes lit up and she nodded excitedly.
"Yes! I can ask for help from Aunt Patricia!"
As soon as Vivian finished speaking, Julie suddenly stood up and walked towards her bedroom with a long face.
Vivian stared at her receding back in confusion.
"What's wrong with Mom? Isn't Aunt Patricia her best friend?’’
