Chapter 3 New Home
After quite a long drive, the trio finally arrived at a river-view villa.

As soon as Maria got out of the BMW, she saw a maid waiting for them at the gate.

"Yes, please. I'm starving! Did you cook my favorite garlic shrimp, Lily?"

Vivian asked with an expectant look. At the same time, the maid called Lily hurriedly took her bag with a warm smile.

"Yes, of course! Everything's ready inside. Please go wash up and enjoy the lunch." Lily adored Vivian so much. She always looked at the young woman as if she was an avid fan looking up at her idol.

"Yes, Mr. Jenkins, right away."

Lily bowed respectfully before standing still again.
