Chapter 38 Haggle Over Every Ounce

The noise of Lily's thumping on the door echoed throughout the villa.

Even Vivian, who was practicing in the piano room upstairs, came down to see what was going on.

When Maria opened the door, she found herself face to face with a fierce- looking Lily.

The joy in the latter's eyes couldn't be concealed.

"You stole something from the house!"

Seeing that there was an audience, Lily became more excited.She pointed an accusatory finger at Maria and said to Vivian, "Miss Jenkins, I found her stealing.There's no debating it this time! I even have evidence!"When Lily's words finally registered in Vivian's mind, she had to suppress a squeal of delight.

Vivian had a strong desire to prove that she was superior to Maria, and had tried to make things difficult for the latter several times in the past but to no avail.

But now, it seemed that Lily had caught Maria red-handed! Although Maria couldn't have stolen anything valuable, this kind of despicable behavior was enough to leave a serious blot on her character.

Even if Maria became Mrs.Wilson in the future, in Vivian's eyes, she would always just be a petty thief.
