Hearing all of this, Maria was speechless and was in a daze for a while.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then finally said, “Both Jeremy and I think that you are suitable for this job. Believe in yourself and have some confidence. Yes, you may not know much right now, but that's why you're here. Work hard to learn new things and enhance your talents."

However, Judy was still hesitant. "But I'm so stupid. What if I can't pick up and learn what was being taught to me? Maria, I want to go back home. I will be more useful there. Besides, if I'm not around, who will take care of Clark's chickens and dogs, and Denis’ cows?"

Maria was confused and kind of disappointed.

“You've been raising chickens, dogs, and cows for more than ten years now. Aren't you getting tired of it?"

When it came to the topic she was interested in, Judy would get out of her introverted shell and be in high spirits.

“Of course not! Clark's hens lay eggs every day, and his dogs like me so much. I also haven't milked Denis' cows for many days. I just—"

“Stop! Stop!"

Maria suddenly felt a headache.

She breathed deeply once more and said, “Listen to me, Judy. You have to understand that even if you go back, Clark and Denis will just drive you back here! Don't you get it? They hope that you can have your life together in the city again. That's why they entrusted you to me!"

After a long silence, Judy nodded and answered reluctantly, “Okay... I'll listen to you..."

Her lips were pursed, and she sounded so aggrieved as if she was bullied by Maria.

After a while, Judy tried to get back at her, “You always sound so mean. That would scare men away. Look at Jeremy. He always smiles when he talks to me...”

“Oh, really?” Maria sneered and raised an eyebrow, making Judy instantly shut her mouth.

"You saved Jeremy's life. Of course, he will always smile when he sees you. He will be forever grateful to you.”

Apparently, two years ago, when Jeremy visited the small town where

Maria and the other Jenkins resided, he accidentally ate some poisonous mushrooms.

Maria wasn't there at that time, but fortunately, Judy found him and immediately saved him using some local herbs.

Although Judy was not a true member of the Jenkins clan, she grew up with them just Like Maria.

However, Judy mostly resided with Clark, the Jenkins clan's patriarch. The life she experienced was very different from that of Maria, who had to often travel between the small town and more remote villages near the town. Maria was all over the place, because growing up, she was raised by different members of the Jenkins clan, and they would pass her around like an unwanted gift from time to time.
