Chapter 6 The Vicious MaidIn the past, Heaven got infiltrated by spies. For that reason, the hackers there had become extracautious in befriending each other.
Although Maria interacted with the others, she didn't really fraternize with any of them.
Except for her old acquaintances in the business, Maria only chatted with Night on rare occasions.
Even then, they only talked about hacking techniques. Any other personal information and anecdoteswere off-limit topics for conversation.
"Would you believe I'm also in Sheffield?"
When another message from Night popped up on her screen, a smile appeared on Maria's face.
"I see. What a coincidence."
In the few instances that Maria engaged in a conversation with Night, it felt as though they had a tacitunderstanding. They even had similar chatting styles.
A few seconds later, she checked the time and thought it was time to go back, so she sent him anothermessage.
"Good night."
The two words he received had the handsome man in a wheelchair staring at his phone screen with asmile on his face. He then deleted the words he had already typed and decided not to reply.
"Why don't we meet sometime? We're both in Sheffield anywa—"
When Maria made it back to the villa, she saw the BMW parked in front of the house and figured thatthe Jenkins family were already back.
"Why are you out for so long?"
Lily greeted Maria with a long face, her hands firmly placed on her waist.
Clearly unfinished with her scolding, she snapped, "Everyone is already back from the concert, yetyou're still outside hanging around like those hooligans. This house is governed by rules. Now thatyou're part of the Jenkins family, you'd better watch your behavior!"
Even though she made it sound like she was reprimanding Maria for staying out late, Lily was actuallypretty peeved that she failed to inquire about the secret of the noodle recipe.
Since she reckoned that Maria was immune to soft tactics, she decided to intimidate her instead. Afterall, Maria was still a teenager. Lily believed she could easily make her cough up the secret recipe.
However, Maria remained calm all this time. She didn't even flinch while being scolded with a loudvoice.
"So, taking a walk in the neighborhood makes one a hooligan? What about the people who actually livein this neighborhood then? What do you call them, huh?"
Hearing this, Lily was rendered speechless.
She thought that Maria would immediately apologize, and that she could easily manipulate her. But shewas sorely mistaken. She didn't expect that the little girl would dare answer back and not be affected atall.
Seeing that Lily was too stunned to say another word, Maria deemed that she was now free to go backto her bedroom.
However, when Maria took a step, Lily suddenly regained her senses. Then, she hurriedly stepped infront of Maria to block her way. Unexpectedly, she forced a smile.
"Maria... I mean Miss Jenkins. I remembered that I intended to ask you this earlier. How did you cookthe noodles that you ate? You know, I'm the kind of person who likes to study different recipes. So, Iwas wondering if you could tell me how you did that dish. Then, the next time you want to eat it again, Ican cook it for you instead. What do you think?"
As if she didn't yell at Maria just now and starved her on purpose earlier, Lily acted like they were bestbuds.
However, Maria would not be swayed by fake smiles and pretty words.
"No, thanks. I can do that by myself." Maria refused without hesitation. Then, without letting Lilyanswer, she quickly walked past her and went back to her room.
Seeing how Maria walked out on her, her face turned livid with anger. How dare this new girl turn herdown without even thinking twice?
Maria was merely a girl from the countryside. Was she already acting like an arrogant rich lady on herfirst day in the Jenkins family household?
Lily gritted her teeth, thinking that this couldn't go on. Before Maria's head grew even bigger, she had toteach her a lesson and make her know her place. She had worked as a maid in this rich family formany years now. With a sinister smile, she decided to let Maria know that living in this household wasnot going to be a walk in the park.
Early morning the following day, a shrilling scream reverberated from the living room.
"Ah! Where is it? Jadee! Jadee is missing!"
It was time for breakfast when Vivian started shouting in panic.
She was holding her new Louis Vuitton handbag with its zipper open. Her cosmetics, cellphone, facialtissue, and headphones were all scattered on the coffee table. Apparently, she had taken outeverything inside her bag to replace something.
Hearing Vivian's loud voice, Bill and Julie couldn't help but rush over at once. They thought thatsomething bad had happened to their daughter.
"Why are you screaming?" Bill asked with a solemn face, not understanding what was going on.
Lily whispered to him, "Mr. Jenkins, Miss Vivian's favorite jade piece seems to be missing. She hadbeen searching for it all morning."
"I swear I put Jadee in my bag last night!" Vivian looked so anxious and fuming in anger.
She was incredibly fond of this precious jade piece and always brought it with her every day. Becauseshe liked it very much, she even gave it a name.
Moreover, Vivian clearly remembered that before going to bed last night, she put Jadee into hersignature handbag, which she left on the sofa in the living room.
After hearing what the commotion was about, Julie's arrogant face frowned.
"Bill, is your daughter talking about the birthday gift you gave to her that you bought at an auction sixmonths ago? The one you spent over a million dollars on?"
