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.

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!
