Chapter: 178
Although they were expecting that Maria would stay the night over in Anthony's place, she didn't violate any rule by coming home early. So, Bill could find nothing to cavil about.

“Did you meet some of the elders of the Wilson family?"

Julie didn't have as many dirty thoughts as Bill. Upon hearing what Maria said, she objectively analyzed the situation and came up with the most reasonable speculation.

"Yes. I was able to meet his aunt, Jessica Wilson," Maria quickly replied.

But the moment Julie heard this name, she was obviously stunned.

In her disbelief, she said softly, “Oh, you saw Jessica... I guess we haven't seen each other for many years already."

Judging from Julie's facial expression, Maria was sure that Julie and Jessica must have a good relationship back when they were still studying. But for some reason, they didn't have much opportunity to catch up and eventually drifted apart.

At the same time, Bill was also shocked.

“Jessica? You really saw her? Wow, you're Lucky! She's now a leading figure in the domestic medical field and is considered a top expert. In fact, securing an appointment with her is more difficult than meeting a famous celebrity!"

Bill was unusually excited. It seemed that if he was to be given a chance, he wanted to curry Jessica's favor. Unfortunately for him, Jessica was actually holding a grudge against him.

“Anyway, how are you able to meet Jessica? I'm sure she came to see you for a good reason." Julie knew how busy Jessica should be. So, if she met with Maria, it must be because she put it in her schedule.

"Well, Anthony asked her to check my condition and treat me," Maria casually said, as if it wasn't a big deal.

“What?! Wait a minute. What condition? Do you have a serious disease?" Even before Julie could say anything, Bill cried out in panic.

His voice was so loud that it startled Vivian and Lily, who then looked over curiously.

“Why are you only telling us now? If I had known about it earlier, I would have... I..."

Bill wanted to say that he would have chosen another girl to marry Anthony in Vivian's stead.

But of course, he couldn't say that in front of Maria.

Moreover, since Maria concealed her medical history, Bill was afraid that it would arouse the Wilson family's anger.

Initially, Bill didn't really care about his adopted daughter. Now he found out that she might be more useless than he had thought, he finally grew disappointed and disgusted with her.

“Maria, is this true? Are you sick?" As if hearing some good news, Vivian let out a faint smile, trying her hardest to hold back her Laughter. She also approached Maria with a fake concerned expression on her face.
