Chapter 22 - 20: Self-Directed and Self-Acted
Maya looked at Hannah, who was lunging at her, and remembered the trouble she caused a few nights ago, as well as the disaster tonight. Without hesitation, she forcefully pushed Hannah to the ground, warning her word by word.
"If the police hadn’t gotten involved, I would have killed you and Elia."
"You... you... you..." Hannah had never seen Maya so fierce, and she was momentarily stunned by her gaze, stammering without being able to speak clearly.
It wasn’t until Maya stepped on her hand and walked towards the bedroom that she jumped up from the ground, pointing at her back and cursing.
"Maya, you jinx, don’t think you can harm Elia. I won’t let anything happen to her. You better be careful, because I won’t let you off the hook."
Maya ignored Hannah’s warning and returned to her room.
Half an hour earlier, a group of police officers had arrived at the villa, saying there was a murder and rape case related to Elia and asked her to come to the station to assist in the investigation.
Hannah did not expect Elia to be so impulsive. She was too reckless in using people and ended up being betrayed by someone.
Instead of feeling remorse after this incident, Hannah became even more resentful towards Maya. She thought if it weren’t for Maya upsetting Elia, Elia wouldn’t have acted so thoughtlessly.
What frustrated her most was that she thought Liam was on her side but was surprised that he repeatedly supported Maya, even bringing her back home tonight.
