Chapter: 1207
Maria and Cyril's conversation caught the attention of the people around them.
The Jenkins family's descendants weren't exactly familiar with each other, but since Maria was a celebrity, almost everyone knew her.
"Is Maria one of us? Did she get called back too?"
"Oh my God! She's Mia in the flesh? She's very famous. Both of my cousins are her fans!"
“She's the heroine in the film adaptation of Female Military Counsellor. I've seen Yeez Entertainment's promotional posters."
ALL of them whispered amongst themselves as they focused their attention on Maria.
In contrast, very few people paid attention to Vivian.
She wasn't really as famous as Maria, and besides, the only things she was famous for were her scandals.
The dress that Vivian wore today was quite low-key. She also only wore a beret and sunglasses.
As everyone gathered closer to watch, they realized that since Maria came late, the only vehicle that was available for her to ride in was a run-down car.
“Miss Jenkins, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, but the other cars really don't have any other seats available. You can ask them if you don't believe me. I don't think anyone would be willing to leave some Luggage behind to make room for you,” Cyril said.
He received an order from the family to deliberately target Maria, so he was just doing his job.
It seemed like he was quite experienced when it came to scenarios Like these. He managed to make up a random excuse to make the other people feel displeased.
Sure enough, the others seemed unhappy when they heard Cyril say that.
“We are supposed to Live in Broome for a while, so our luggage is important to us. Why should we Leave some luggage behind just to make room for her?" a young girl muttered. The others agreed with her.
“Even though we're from the same family, we're still technically strangers. I don't want to leave my luggage behind for her.”
“I've prepared gifts for the elders, and they're all in the Luggage. I can't just leave those behind!"
The people who had been called back were just ordinary people. However, when they found that they could actually be part of a wealthy, prominent family, their mindset changed.
Maria was indeed a superstar, but to them, her status didn't mean anything.
They thought that being an actor was nothing compared to being a part of a rich, powerful, long-established family.
Maria glanced at them.
She didn't really pay much attention to anyone except for Vivian and Bill.
“Well? What do you say, Miss Jenkins? Do you want to get in that car or try and convince the others to make room for you?" Cyril asked, showing her a listless smile.
Upon hearing that, the others Lowered their heads and turned around to avoid her.
