The Whole World Seems To Be Falling For My Wife

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Vincent Geoffrey

"Isn't there any surveillance camera in such a high-class villa?"

Maria asked in an arrogant tone, as if mocking the father and daughter's stupidity.

In her opinion, this was a matter that could be easily dealt with.

They could either check the surveillance video footage, or just call the police to come and handle it.

Why did they waste time on questioning her? Having grown up in a small town, Maria knew all the other members of the Jenkins family there.

Although Bill was the richest man among the Jenkins, he was obviously not the smartest one.

Upon hearing Maria's words, Bill's eyes lit up in enlightenment.

"Yes! We have surveillance cameras in our house!" Lily instantly became nervous.

She took a few steps back quietly without anyone noticing, and then suddenly shouted, "Look! What's that under the sofa?"

As she spoke, she nudged the sofa aside a little bit so that everyone could see what was hidden underneath.

"Ah! My Jadee!"

Vivian shouted excitedly and picked it up at once.

Bill grabbed the magnifying glass to check the serial number on the bottom of the jade piece.

"Yes, the number is YOO88.It is Jadee!"

Bill confirmed with a relieved smile.

"There's no need to check the surveillance video then.Vivian, you must have dropped it under the sofa by accident."

It was only upon hearing that they weren't going to check the surveillance video that Lily relaxed again.

As for Vivian, she was completely distracted by the delight of finding her treasure again.She took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped off the dust on the jade piece.

Now that Jadee had been found, everyone crowded around to look at it.

In the process, they ignored Maria as if she had never existed.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room now," Maria announced flatly.

Unsurprisingly, no one paid attention to her. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Pursing her lips in annoyance, Maria turned around and went back to her room.

After locking the door behind her, she took out her phone and texted an online friend who went by the name of V.

"Vincent, yellow card warning! Why did you plagiarize my jade carving design?" A reply arrived from Vincent only a few seconds later.

"I'm just redoing my disciple's design as practice.How can you call that an act of plagiarism? Listen, I was recently invited to a charity auction, where they wanted me to showcase some new work.But how could I design something new on such short notice? That's why I just used yours."

This Vincent was in fact the internationally well-known master, Vincent Geoffrey.

Reading the so-called explanation of this jade carvings master, Maria didn't buy it at all.

"Huh?"

Although it was just one word, it was full of warning.

Vincent hurriedly added, "Anyway, I did it for charity.Don't haggle over every ounce.A master is to his disciple what a father is to his daughter.I have merely borrowed your design.After I die, all the glory and wealth of the Geoffrey Jade Carving School will be yours."

If Vincent's words ever leaked out to the public, it would cause a great uproar in the jade carving industry.It was well known that Vincent didn't have any disciples.

But now, common knowledge seemed to be far from the truth.

In fact, Vincent seemed to have already found a successor and even prepared his will.

If Maria inherited Vincent's wealth, she would become one of the top 100 female billionaires in the country overnight.

"What disciple? Didn't I refuse you for the ninety-ninth time last month? I am not your disciple," Maria corrected him calmly.

"I've given you advice on how to carve.How can you not take me as your master?"

No one would believe that Vincent Geoffrey, an international master of jade carvings and a famous expert in the industry, was actually a big fan of various emojis during online chatting.He sent three different angry emojis to protest Maria's refusal to call herself his disciple.

"Advice? We were just discussing the matter, weren't we?" Maria retorted.

"You were just an injured old man I picked up from a ditch in the mountains.At that time, I was kind enough to let you stay at my house and recuperate, but you didn't leave even after your injury was healed, and overstayed your welcome by more than half a year.Speaking of which, when are you going to pay me back all the medical and food expenses?"

Vincent was a little embarrassed.

"It's because you cook so well!" he protested.

Maria rolled her eyes.

"So you're saying it's actually my fault?"
