The Whole World Seems To Be Falling For My Wife

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Lies Of Masters This was Vivian's mother, Julie Jenkins.

She entered the house, wearing an elegant dress and gorgeous makeup, yet she had this cold expression on her face. As she looked around, her eyes narrowed as they caught something displeasing.

There was an evident frown on her face the moment she saw the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table and some even on the carpet, as if some barbaric person without manners lived there.

"Is it you?"

Noticing the disgust in the hostess's tone, Lily panicked and decided to pass the blame. After all, she wouldn't want to incur the wrath of the Jenkins family. "No, ma'am... Maria left them there."

Hearing Maria's name, Julie remembered that there was now a new daughter in the household of the Jenkins family.

"She just left her trash there? Where is that girl now?"

Julie raised an eyebrow, and her annoyance just grew even more. Her first impression of the adopted daughter was instantly shattered just because of Lily's selfish lies.

Swallowing hard, Lily almost stammered, "Mrs. Jenkins, a-after eating... the popcorn... Maria said that she will go out for a walk."

Julie shook her head and didn't want to hear any more. She then turned to her husband with a disapproving expression. "Are you hearing this? How could a young girl go out this late at night alone? Bill, have you really thought this through? The girl you took back may become the disgrace of our family!"

With a long face, Bill sighed and nodded. "You're right. I will lay some ground rules for her. She can't do whatever she wants to just like that."

After exchanging a few more words to express their disappointment, the couple went back to their bedroom on the second floor.

"Hey, Lily! Remember to cook that noodle dish for me next time, okay?"

Vivian reminded Lily unhappily before also going back to her room on the third floor.

Meanwhile, on the riverside, the scenery looked very beautiful. The river glimmered with dotted lights, and the water's flow sounded so calming.

This was indeed a high-end villa district. Even though it was her first time in this new environment, Maria didn't worry about her safety at all.

The Jenkins family didn't know that aside from the self-assembled laptop, Maria also had a mobile phone. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

It was pure black in color, and like her laptop, the brand trademark wasn't present. It looked almost like a cheap knockoff phone she bought for two dollars from a thrift store.

But even though it wasn't branded, in terms of functionality and security, this mobile phone far exceeded almost all of the commercially available ones.

The top-level hackers of Heaven were issued with this special mobile phone that they could use in their jobs. Through this device, they could access the latest information and data in Heaven's database at any time.

At this time, while Maria enjoyed the tranquil surroundings, she opened her mobile phone and sent a message to the chat room of Heaven's members.

There was only one sentence, but it instantly caused a massive uproar. She said, "I'll be suspending all my business transactions from here on."

"What?! Master M! Why will you stop taking job requests? I just got a big order from a top-500 enterprise. They need to rebuild their internal network. I was hoping you could do it. No one wants to accept it because the job request is so demanding!"

"Of course, this is just temporary, right? When are you returning, Master M?"

"I also have many clients who are specifically asking for you."

"Hmm... That's so sudden. Let me guess... Master M, have you fallen in love with someone? Oh, what a lucky guy!"

Actually, the only information that Maria let them know was her gender. Aside from that, her identity was a complete enigma.

"What are you guys saying? I have just graduated from high school. I don't have time yet for trivial things such as love. Anyway, there's also a chance that I may not continue studying in the future. I have recently moved to Sheffield to start my new life here."

Maria didn't want to be lied to, so she also had no intention of doing it.

However, not because she told the truth meant that everyone would believe her. In fact, most of them thought that it was just an excuse.

"Ha-ha! Master M, that's too much. Did you say that you just graduated from high school? So, you mean that I, a doctor who graduated from a prestigious university, was destroyed by a high-school student in Heaven's hacking competition three years ago? That's just ridiculous!"

"Didn't Master Night also do this last time? He said that he will suspend his business because he was hospitalized due to a car accident, and he needed time to recuperate."

"Oh, right. I remember that! The following day after Master Night announced his supposed hiatus, an overseas hacker attacked us. But out of nowhere, Master Night dealt with it without much effort. If it weren't for that hacker, we would have fallen for Master Night's brilliant ruse!"

"I agree! It's just to be expected that even at deceptions, the masters are very good!"

"Ha-ha! I think I know this. Women may have issues with their age. So it's kind of like 30 never, 18 forever! Am I right, Master M?"

While Maria read the messages at the chat room, she could only shake her head lightly while letting out a faint smile. Although they were not familiar with each other on a personal level, they made her feel a sense of warmth and belonging.

"Welcome to Sheffield."

Maria's brows slightly furrowed as she received a private message.

Upon checking the ID of the sender, it turned to be from Night.

Like Maria, he was one of the divine-level hackers in Heaven, known as Master Night.

"Oh, thanks." But then after thinking for a while, Maria found it to be weird. So, she added, "Does that mean that you believe me? But none of the others do."

Meanwhile, in the Wilson family's residence in Sheffield, a man in a wheelchair was holding the same black mobile phone that the hackers from Heaven were also using.

Then, he sent another message addressed to Maria.

"Well, yes. I believe whatever you say."
