After making sure that nothing had happened to her while she was asleep, Maria thanked her lucky stars.

Then, she checked the time and found that she had been asleep for five hours this time.

Fortunately, she hadn't slept for more than twenty-four hours like a few incidents in the past.

Outside the French windows of the suite, the bustling night view of Sheffield could be seen. After thinking about it for a while, Maria decided that it would be best if she left the hotel now while it was still early and returned to the Jenkins family’s home.

Maria left the suite quickly and entered the elevator. The moment the elevator doors closed, the door of the suite opposite to Maria's opened, and an electric wheelchair was slowly pushed out.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Anthony was expressionless.

He didn't so much as turn towards the direction of the elevator. It was as if Maria's departure had nothing to do with him.

"Jack."

"Yes, sir."

“Inform the receptionist downstairs to delete my check-in record today."

“Er... Okay, Mr. Wilson."

Jack was a little confused. Was this the reason why they had waited here for five hours?

When Maria returned home, she found everyone sitting in the living room.

Bill and Julie both looked serious, while Vivian wore a scowl of resentment.

Lily, meanwhile, stared ahead with a faint sneer, as if she was waiting for a good show.

“Maria, come here."

Bill was the first to speak, and there was a hint of accusation in his voice.

Unnerved by the solemn mood, Maria walked forward and took a seat on the sofa.

Bill's eyelids twitched. What an unruly village girl! How dare she sit down without being asked to?

In his view, Maria's actions were that of an uncivilized girl, but he didn't know that this could also be interpreted as being calm in a tough situation.

“Maria, weren't you supposed to be with Anthony today? Why did you go to Yeez Entertainment and sign up for the audition of the Legend of Anne?"

While Bill asked these questions, the rest of the people in the living room fixed their gazes on Maria.

Julie's eyes were filled with indifference and a hint of distaste, but Vivian stared at Maria as if she wanted to kill her.

“I went to Yeez Entertainment for personal affairs. I didn't sign up for the audition," Maria stated plainly.

But although she was telling the truth, no one believed her.
