Maria didn't argue with Julie further.
However, she cast a piercing cold glance at Lily.
At the same time, Lily clearly felt the glare that was directed at her.It was as if even the deepest corner of her soul was completely exposed in front of Maria.
Maria's eyes were like empty black holes that would suck anyone who pissed her off.
They were that frightening.
Lily's face froze, flabbergasted that she could experience this amount of fear from a mere country girl.
When she had the chance, she quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at Maria's eyes again.
Lily was so scared that she even regretted provoking Maria again and again.
Maria fixed her eyes at the troublesome maid for a few more seconds before looking away.
Feeling that she was finally free from Maria's stare, Lily was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
But before she could do so, she heard Maria spoke.
"You can't blame me for saying that.You are being stupid, believing every word you're told without even having a definitive proof."
Hearing this, Julie blushed hard.Maria was so smart that she instantly saw through everything.
Indeed, Lily just put thoughts into Julie's mind, and the latter just went with the flow.
Moreover, Maria's tone was so firm that Julie also realized that she was at fault.
It was obvious that Maria was letting her know that she had been manipulated.
Therefore, Julie looked back at what happened.
Was Lily just making trouble on purpose? Was she gullible enough that she became a tool for this maid's amusement? Julie pondered for a while and realized that Maria was right all along.
Of course, she was angry.
But she was too proud to admit that she made a fool of herself just because she succumbed to Lily's instigation.
However, in the back of her mind, even though she was wrong, Maria still had no right to be disrespectful.
In the end, Julie blamed Maria for being rude.
She thought that there was no need to say something harsh just to point something out.
Even though she was just adopted, her treatment of Julie, her adoptive mother, should still be of high regard.
Thinking of all these things, Julie couldn't help but let out an evident frown.
"What are you trying to say? Lily is just worried about you.You have only been in Sheffield for a few days, but you're now hanging out with some strangers? Do you even know their background? Anyway, as I said, you're not leaving this house tonight!"
In order to save her face, Julie insisted on criticizing Maria.
it was now out of the question whether she was right or not.
However, Julie couldn't even make a straight face.
Right after saying that, she blushed again, knowing that she was guilty of something.
"Really? Lily is worried about me? Can I ask you two a question? When did you see me hang out with someone you don't know?"
Instead of getting angry, Maria actually felt like laughing.
They were only fooling themselves if they wanted her to believe in such an obvious lie.
"Miss Maria, Mrs.Jenkins is telling the truth.Although you are just new here in the Jenkins family, I care about your welfare.No, I don't have to see you hanging out with someone we don't know.We are just saying that you shouldn't spend time with untrustworthy people, especially at night! Besides, you have to remember that you are engaged.People will spread nasty rumors if you are not careful."
Just as Maria expected, Lily was much more shameless than Julie.She could say all these blatant lies without any hesitation.
In fact, she also dared to steal and sell things of the Jenkins family secretly.
At this point, lying was just second nature to her.
"Care? Do you even know what that word means? As far as I remember, all you did was falsely accuse me.That's really a bizarre way to care about people."
Maria snapped and was fed up.She was done tolerating the maid's obnoxious behavior.
While they were still conversing, the doorbell of the villa rang.
Of course, Lily had to open the door to see who it was.
Upon checking, she saw a tall and strong man who looked like a bodyguard.
At the same time, he was pushing a wheelchair towards the front door.
There was a familiar young man sitting in the wheelchair.
Taking a closer look, Lily noticed that he was even more handsome than most movie stars.
It was very unfortunate that he had to be a cripple.
He seemed to look so pitiful being in a wheelchair, not able to do anything without somebody else's help.
But then Lily also noticed that at the gate of the villa, an extended luxury car was parking on the roadside, silently flaunting this man's background.
Finally, Lily realized that this person should be the former heir of the Wilson family, Anthony.
This confused her a little.
Someone who lost his family's inheritance and right to succession could still be this wealthy and powerful? It just showed how rich the Wilson family was.
Lily couldn't help but feel very envious about Maria's luck.
Just because of her pretty face, her life was turned around.
Even though Maria was marrying a supposed loser, because his family was ridiculously wealthy, she would still be able to experience and enjoy a luxurious and comfortable life.
Dwelling on this thought, Lily was so jealous that she wanted to get back at Maria again.
Suddenly, an evil idea flashed in her mind.
She would not make anything easy for Maria, and so Lily decided to pull another cheap trick.
At this time, the bodyguard pushed Anthony's wheelchair and entered the villa, while Lily guided them.
Letting out a subtle sinister smile, Lily suddenly shouted in front of Maria and Julie, "Mr.Wilson, I'm glad you're here! You should speak to Miss Jenkins and talk some sense into her.She’s about to go out at night and hang out with some dubious people! You have to stop her!"
