Chapter 80
Of course, she couldn’t be seen having fun with random men. Even if they were just friends, if this news reached the Wilsons, a misunderstanding would be inevitable. This might anger Anthony, and there would be no good way to explain it.
Moreover, if Maria was really having an affair with another man, then Julie had all the more reason to stop it.
“Ma’am, although Miss Maria isn’t your biological daughter, she is still part of your family now. If she does something to put the Jenkins household in trouble, everyone will be affected. I’m sure you also have the authority to discipline her.” Like a devil whispering in a mortal’s ear, Lily continued to feed words in Julie’s mind.
She was deliberately making it seem like Maria was only going out tonight to do something shameful.
At the same time, as if she was completely brainwashed, Julie nodded and thought of what to do.
“You are right. It’s better to be safe than sorry…”
It was almost six o’clock in the evening when Julie stood outside Maria’s bedroom.
Before she could knock on the door, Maria opened the door from inside.
She was still wearing the plain dress, and there was a small canvas bag on her shoulder. In it were a few of her belongings such as her mobile phone and facial tissue. Anthony said that he would be here at six o’clock to pick her up, so she was about to go out.
“Maria, you’re not going anywhere tonight.” Julie’s face was solemn and her tone was serious. She thought that this was such a serious matter, and she couldn’t let it happen under her watch.
Maria’s brows slightly furrowed, thinking what Julie was talking about.

However, when her gaze went beyond Julie, she saw Lily snickering not too far from them. Therefore, she instantly understood what was happening.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about. Now, get out of my way.”
Maria’s voice sounded indifferent as usual, but the Look in her eyes was rather fierce.
Julie was taken aback. Not only did she find Maria’s response to be unexpected, but she also didn’t think that a beautiful girl like her was capable of giving such a fierce look.
She couldn’t help but subconsciously take a step back. But after a moment, Julie regained her composure and quickly re-established her authority as Maria‘s adoptive mother.
“Maria! Even though you are just adopted, your status is now very different from before. You should learn to pay attention to your words and deeds. Have you forgotten that you are engaged to Anthony? If you are only going to some meaningless social activities, then I forbid you to-“
Before Julie could finish her words, Maria got impatient and interrupted her.
“Enough. Will you shut up? You’re making a fool of yourself.”
As if the temperature suddenly dropped by a few degrees, the expression on Maria’s face became more domineering. There was no sign of timidity or backing down.
Her Last sentence was uttered in a low voice, but it was clear enough for Julie to hear it. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“You… Did you just tell me to shut up? How dare you?”
