Chapter 79
Therefore, Lily was simply implying that Maria didn’t deserve to indulge herself to such a luscious meal. After all, she wasn’t even a real member of the Jenkins family.
Lily didn’t have to say it word for word. Julie was smart enough to pick up what she meant. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
For a while, Julie remained quiet, thinking about what Lily pointed out. In fact, although Maria had been living with them for some time now, she still didn’t approve of her as a member of their family.
Julie then thought of her husband, Bill. Knowing that he bought the extravagant food especially for her, he would certainly be displeased once he found out that his wife gave it to Maria instead.
Seeing that Julie was in deep thought, Lily put out a straight face, but she was laughing in her heart.
Then, Lily said in an insinuating tone, “Mrs. Jenkins, I’ll prepare the dishes first and bring it to the dining table.”
As for who would end up eating the dinner she prepared, Lily didn’t care. She already sowed the seed of discord, and that was enough for her.
After saying that, Lily went back to the kitchen, acting innocently.
She was like a sapper who Laid out a mine and was just waiting for it to detonate.
“Maria…”
Eventually, Julie broke the silence. She actually intended to ask Maria what she Liked to eat for dinner, meaning that she decided to eat what Lily would prepare.
Julie thought that girls at Maria’s age would probably have no complaints if they could have cheeseburger or pizza for dinner.
So, she planned to order a take-out for Maria. If the girl was sensible enough, she should accept the arrangement and still be grateful.

“I actually have something to deal with tonight. So, I’ll be having dinner outside.” If only Lily didn’t butt in earlier, Maria would have already said this much earlier.
However, Julie was quite shocked. Although she already guessed that Maria was going somewhere after seeing her in a dress, she was still surprised when she actually heard her say it.
Julie wanted to ask her for more details, but Maria had already gone back to her room.
At the same time, it turned out that Lily also heard Maria say that she was going out. Because of this, she quickly came up with an idea to make Maria’s image bad again.
Hence, she went back to the Living room and whispered in Julie’s ear, “Mrs. Jenkins, it seems that even though Miss Maria is just new to Sheffield, she already has a rich nightlife. She always wears plain shirts and jeans, but this is my first time seeing her in a dress.
Hmm It’s getting dark now. Is she planning to go to some party wearing that? Does she have new friends? I bet they are men who are going to be bad influences to her.”
Julie’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She thought that it wasn’t impossible.
Maria was stuck in a very poor town before. Now that she somehow gained freedom and came to this metropolis, she might want to try things that she never did before.
However, she was already engaged to Anthony on behalf of Vivian.
