"Mr. Jenkins, Miss Jenkins, please do something. Maria kicked me out of the kitchen saying that she wants to cook!"

Lily complained to Bill and Vivian as if she had suffered a lot. Maria had entered the kitchen to make noodles for Julie.

Knowing that Maria was a great cook, Lily had wanted to stay in the kitchen and secretly Learn from her.

But to her surprise, Maria had directly asked her to get out. Lily couldn't tolerate being ordered around by a country girl like

Maria, but at the same time, she didn't dare to quarrel with Maria in case Julie scolded her for it.

To soothe her annoyance, she went to vent to Bill and Vivian instead.

“Isn't she leaving? Why did she go to the kitchen now?" Bill frowned. There were indeed a lot of expensive and imported ingredients in the freezer of the Jenkins family's kitchen, but even if Maria stole all of them, Bill wouldn't really care for they could totally afford it.

What he was displeased about was how Maria dared to use this house like it was hers even though she was just an adopted daughter.

Vivian snorted in disdain. "Maria seems to regards herself as a member of the family, doesn't she? She comes and goes as she like, and she uses whatever she wants at home. She's even moving out to live with her fiance without discussing with you and Mom in advance. People who don't know the situation will think that the Jenkins family has no principles at all.”

"Yes, you are right, Miss Jenkins! Maria is going too far. She doesn't know her place at all,”

Lily chimed in. It was only after hearing Bill and Vivian both badmouth Maria that Lily's anger subsided.

But she forgot to tell them that the reason why Maria had gone to the kitchen was to make noodles for Julie.

Just then, the unmistakable aroma of noodle soup wafted out of the kitchen.

Vivian recognized this familiar aroma, but she had always thought that it was Lily's cooking. Now, seeing Lily avoid her gaze in embarrassment, Vivian immediately understood everything.

She already knew that Maria was a great cook after watching the live broadcast during the training program, but this was the first time that she had experienced it firsthand.

Soon, the whole villa was filled with the mouthwatering aroma of the noodles. Even Bill, who was used to eating only the best delicacies, thought it was appetizing.

“What is she cooking? Noodles? It smells good. You can't deny that village cuisine is really special."

Bill had always Looked down on Maria for coming from a small place, so much so that even his praise was Laced with contempt.

Vivian said with a sneer, "Yes, Maria is a good cook. If we hadn't arranged for her to marry Anthony, we could have given her a sum of money to run a small diner. That will be suitable for her."

"Lily, go and ask Maria to bring me a bowl of noodles as well," Bill said sharply.
