Chapter 163

The shock on Vivian's face was palpable. "Maria's refusal is incomprehensible. Has she forgotten that she is your adopted daughter?”

Bill seemed ashamed.

Julie had just come downstairs at this point.

Vivian turned her head and complained to her, “Mom! Maria refused to add me any more scenes. She's so ungrateful, it's ridiculous." Ungrateful?

For a few seconds, Julie was totally taken aback. Exactly what it was that the Jenkins family had done for Maria that she should feel grateful, she couldn't recall.

She stood at the staircase and observed Bill, Patricia, and Vivian as they sat on the couch in the Living room.

She had an instant delusion that the three of them were a real family, while like Maria, she was just an outsider.
