Obviously, they were all in favor of Canaan.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jenkins' face darkened. She knew that she couldn't punish Maria now.

"I see... Well, maybe I'm too old to make a fair judgment... So, why don't we just let this go?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Jenkins’ icy gaze shifted from Canaan to Maria.

However, before the meeting could be adjourned, Canaan suddenly said,

“By the way, please award the prize of the championship to Maria as soon as possible, Mrs. Jenkins. Don't delay it anymore!"

Mrs. Jenkins' expression darkened dangerously, but in the end, there was nothing she could do but acquiesce to Canaan's request.

“Our family's rewards and punishment systems are quite clear. We have our rules. The board can decide how we will reward Maria. I'm not feeling so well. Excuse me. I am leaving now for some rest..

Although her excuse was Lame and forced, at least she wouldn't have to give Maria her reward personally.

Before long, a police car pulled in front of the Jenkins family manor to take Haley away.

Apparently, no one had ever lived in that dilapidated yard previously. The place was even used for utilities before, and it was far from comfortable.

Since Maria had rightfully earned the title of champion at the family competition, didn't she have the right to move to a better place? “Well..."

Julie's blunt complaint made Canaan scratch his head in embarrassment.

Although he was more than willing to help Maria move to a better place, it wasn't up to him. These sorts of arrangements were always controlled by Mrs. Jenkins.

And Canaan was keenly aware that even if he vouched for Maria, Mrs. Jenkins would probably come up with all kinds of excuses to reject his request.

“Mom, it's fine. Isla and Grover have kept the yard in order, so it's not a problem. Besides, I'm just staying there temporarily," Maria said, trying to appease her mother

“Yes, that's right. Don't worry, Mrs. Smith. We'll take good care of
