Maria was so smart that she instantly saw through everything. Indeed, Lily just put thoughts into Julie's mind, and the latter just went with the flow.

Moreover, Maria's tone was so firm that Julie also realized that she was at fault. It was obvious that Maria was letting her know that she had been manipulated.

Therefore, Julie looked back at what happened. Was Lily just making trouble on purpose? Was she gullible enough that she became a tool for this maid's amusement?

Julie pondered for a while and realized that Maria was right all along.

Of course, she was angry. But she was too proud to admit that she made a fool of herself just because she succumbed to Lily's instigation.

However, in the back of her mind, even though she was wrong, Maria still had no right to be disrespectful.

In the end, Julie blamed Maria for being rude. She thought that there was no need to say something harsh just to point something out.

Even though she was just adopted, her treatment of Julie, her adoptive mother, should still be of high regard.

Thinking of all these things, Julie couldn't help but let out an evident frown.

“What are you trying to say? Lily is just worried about you. You have only been in Sheffield for a few days, but you're now hanging out with some strangers? Do you even know their background? Anyway, as I said, you're not leaving this house tonight!"

In order to save her face, Julie insisted on criticizing Maria. It was now out of the question whether she was right or not.

However, Julie couldn't even make a straight face. Right after saying that, she blushed again, knowing that she was guilty of something.

“Really? Lily is worried about me? Can I ask you two a question? When did you see me hang out with someone you don‘t know?”

Instead of getting angry, Maria actually felt like Laughing. They were only fooling themselves if they wanted her to believe in such an obvious lie.

“Miss Maria, Mrs. Jenkins is telling the truth. Although you are just new here in the Jenkins family, I care about your welfare. No, I don't have to see you hanging out with someone we don't know. We are just saying that you shouldn't spend time with untrustworthy people, especially at night! Besides, you have to remember that you are engaged. People will spread nasty rumors if you are not careful.”

Just as Maria expected, Lily was much more shameless than Julie. She could say all these blatant lies without any hesitation. In fact, she also dared to steal and sell things of the Jenkins family secretly. At this point, lying was just second nature to her.

“Care? Do you even know what that word means? As far as I remember, all you did was falsely accuse me. That's really a bizarre way to care about people.”

Maria snapped and was fed up. She was done tolerating the maid's obnoxious behavior.

While they were still conversing, the doorbell of the villa rang.

Of course, Lily had to open the door to see who it was. Upon checking, she saw a tall and strong man who Looked like a bodyguard. At the same time, he was pushing a wheelchair towards the front door.

There was a familiar young man sitting in the wheelchair. Taking a closer look, Lily noticed that he was even more handsome than most movie stars.

It was very unfortunate that he had to be a cripple. He seemed to Look so pitiful being in a wheelchair, not able to do anything without somebody else's help.

But then Lily also noticed that at the gate of the villa, an extended luxury car was parking on the roadside, silently flaunting this man's background.

Finally, Lily realized that this person should be the former heir of the Wilson family, Anthony.

This confused her a little. Someone who lost his family's inheritance and right to succession could still be this wealthy and powerful? It just showed how rich the Wilson family was.
