Chapter: 64
Lily scoffed. “If you just wanted to fill your stomach, then of course that's not a problem. But how much could a young girl Like yourself have eaten? There seems to be at least a pound less of flour in the kitchen, Miss Maria, are you claiming that you can eat a whole pound of noodles in one meal?"
A normal person would eat about a pound of food a day. Judging by Maria's slender figure, it was impossible for her to eat at one meal what a normal person would eat in a day.
“Miss Maria, stop denying it. You are a thief!" Lily said in smug satisfaction.
She had just finished speaking when Julie slowly walked down from the second floor of the villa, carrying an empty bowl in her hands.
In her bedroom, Julie had finished the whole bowl of noodles and even drunk up the soup to the last drop.
Even though it was just a normal bowl of homemade noodles, she felt like she hadn't tasted such delicious food in a long time.
Because of that, Julie now had a good impression of Maria.
When she came downstairs, she was confused to see Lily and Vivian blocking the door of Maria's room in a hostile way.
“They accused me of stealing," Maria said to Julie calmly. In her tone, there was no hint of pleading or an intention to ask for help. She simply seemed to be answering Julie's unasked question.
Julie was stunned.
“Oh? Stealing what?"
As if she was standing in court, Lily pointed at Maria.
“Madam, Miss Maria admitted just now that she touched the flour in the kitchen. She claims that she used it to make noodles, but there's at least a pound of flour less. She is not a cow. How could she eat so much noodles in one sitting?”
After a pause, Lily continued, "I suspect that Miss Maria stole the imported flour and sold it somewhere else..."
She confidently continued her accusation, not noticing that Julie's face was getting gloomier and gloomier by the second.
Julie put down the bowl slowly with sharp eyes.
"Did you just say ‘cow'?" she asked through gritted teeth.
“That's right! Only a cow could eat so much in one meal."
Lily explained the situation animatedly, but soon, she started to feel that something was wrong.
Julie's eyes were as cold as ice. But why did she keep glaring at the maid instead of at thief Maria?
Julie came from a well-educated family, and had always been taught to act like a lady.
But at this moment, she really wanted to tip the empty bowl on Lily's head!
Over the years, even though Julie's family members had gradually distanced themselves from her after she married Bill on impulse, none of them dared to speak rudely in front of her.
Now, all she had done was eat a bowl of noodles. How dare someone insinuate that she was a cow? And that someone was her servant, no less!
“Maria, the noodles you made for me was delicious. Thank you."
