Chapter 73

Even if Maria had stolen the flour, how was it a big deal?

It was not as if the kitchen of the Jenkins family home was a grain warehouse.

Even if Maria stole all the flour in the kitchen, it would not be a big enough matter to file a police case.

But on second thought, Vivian concluded that stealing flour was just the kind of thing that a country girlLike Maria would do. Even though the Jenkins family had many Luxury goods just lying around in thehouse, Maria didn’t know their value. The only thing she had thought of to steal was food from thekitchen.

“Why did you steal flour? It’s too embarrassing to even talk about.

Anyway, it’s not a big deal. You should go to Mom and Dad to admit your mistake. Don’t worry. I’ll gowith you,” Vivian said decisively, as if she had the final say in the matter.

Hearing this, Lily was secretly happy. Despite how generous Vivian sounded, she insisted that Mariaapologize to Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. It was clear that Vivian also hated Maria.

Having worked for many rich families before, Lily was quite observant and immediately saw throughVivian’s thoughts.

Although Vivian spoke to Maria in a kind and gentle way, it was plain to see that she didn’t intend to letgo of Maria. After all, if Vivian cared about Maria even a little, she would have scolded Lily and coveredthe matter up.

Maria asked calmly, Looking at the two women in front of her.

Lily scoffed.

“If you just wanted to fill your stomach, then of course that’s not a problem. But how much could ayoung 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 wasimpossible 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 lastdrop.

Even though it was just a normal bowl of homemade noodles, she felt like she hadn’t tasted suchdelicious 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 roomin a hostile way.

“They accused me of stealing,” Maria said to Julie calmly. In her tone, there was no hint of pleading oran intention to ask for help. She simply seemed to be answering Julie’s unasked question.

Julie was stunned.
