Chapter 72
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.
“Lily, don’t shout. It’s not good to let the neighbors hear it,”
Vivian chided, perfectly playing the part of a noble lady.
She straightened her back and raised her head as if she was looking down on Maria, even though the latter was a few inches taller than her.
“Maria, did you steal something from our house? How could you? It would be embarrassing if the news spreads.”

Vivian walked up to Maria with folded arms and looked at her up and down, trying to find the stolen goods on her.
“Oh? Do you have any evidence?”
Maria asked Lily, ignoring Vivian altogether.
As usual, her voice was calm and emotionless. She didn’t sound aggrieved, nor was she desperate to defend herself. Being stared at by Maria this way, Lily felt like she was a stupid marmot while Maria was a fierce prairie wolf.
“How can you act so high and mighty after stealing something?”
Lily shouted, suppressing her fear.
“Miss Maria, you stole the flour from the kitchen, didn’t you? That flour is a high-end imported good.
It costs dozens of dollars a pound!” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Hearing that the item Maria had stolen was just flour, Vivian felt a little disappointed.
