Chapter 179 - 177: Give It Your All [2nd Update]
Liam Spencer listened to the girl’s words, let out a cold laugh twice, then walked from behind his desk to stand in front of her, reaching out his right hand to hook her collar with his index finger, mocking as he looked at her fair skin, "Maya, your business acumen is getting clearer. Do you really think of yourself as a bed companion?"
Maya Spencer listened to the man’s sarcasm, but she didn’t get angry, merely brushed away his hand nonchalantly and said casually, "What I think of myself is none of Master Three’s business. But Master Three should know, when enjoying, don’t forget the cost."
Maya’s words were completely self-deprecating. The man looked at her self-destructive demeanor and laughed indifferently.
He said, "Returning to the Hanson Family has indeed made you more mature. If you’re willing to sell, why wouldn’t I buy!"
After Liam finished speaking, he turned around to face the desk, pulled out a pen from the pen holder, and signed his name "shashasha" on the contract.
Liam clearly knew the purpose of Maya’s return. Since she was so confident, then he would play along! He really didn’t believe she could win until the end.
Maya saw that he signed the contract without even looking at it, feeling there was something fishy, so she said, "Master Three’s promises won’t be like farting, right? They’ll be nullified in a few days again."
She clearly remembered that three years ago, he had rejected the contract and halted the project.
Liam heard the woman’s suspicion, looked at her without averting his gaze, took two steps forward, reached out his right hand, pinched her chin, and looked straight into her eyes, earnestly promising.
"Maya Spencer, from this moment, everything I sign for you has no ’take back’ in the conversation."
Maya looked at the man’s serious demeanor, swallowed, hesitated, unsure of what to say.
The man looked at her cute demeanor, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, gently touching the bruises on her face with his index finger, said, "Maya, although I won’t marry you, but from now on, every time I sleep with you, I can help you with one thing. I’m curious to see what tricks you can play."
The man’s confident promise was undoubtedly a provocation and contempt for her.
Faced with Liam’s disdain, Maya felt very uncomfortable inside, unable to find words to counter him for a moment, so she foolishly said, "Don’t think that just because your company is big, I can’t bankrupt it."
"Pfft!" Liam couldn’t help but laugh again at the girl’s warning. Her foolish demeanor made him feel very real, without any pretense. The true Maya made him feel comfortable.
So, he said, "I’ll give you a year, no, two years. If you can’t bring down the Owen Clan, you have to do whatever I ask of you."
Maya listened to the man’s proposal, frowning, pushed him, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Her first reaction was actually that she might lose, perhaps because Liam’s aura was too strong, she was overwhelmed.
The man listened to Maya’s questioning, his brows smiled openly, smiling particularly brightly, he said, "Haven’t thought about it yet, but our agreement is effective."
"What did I agree to?" Maya looked at the handsome man and found that she had fallen into a trap.
Liam looked at the girl’s bewildered appearance, smiled even more brightly, tightly embraced her with his right hand, and bent down to kiss her lips.
Finally, his kiss landed on her earlobe, softly reminding, "I give you the chance for revenge, play to your heart’s content."
Soon after, her lips were sealed by him again, without even a chance to fight back.
At this moment, Maya was completely bewildered, this scene was beyond her expectation, she hadn’t thought that Liam would be so straightforward.
Liam held her tightly, he hoped that during this time, Maya could give him a satisfactory explanation as to why she had to get rid of their child. Was there not a little bit of heartache?
Even though he still blamed her in his heart, he couldn’t deny that he also wanted to get closer to her. As long as her attitude was not sharp, he couldn’t remain indifferent.
After 3 years, the urge to embrace her still lingered...
The girl nestled in Liam’s arms suddenly felt awkward, hurriedly pushed Liam away, and feigned calmness by tidying her hair.
Liam looked at the girl’s awkward appearance, picked up the contract on the desk, handed it to her, and said, "Go home and think carefully about what needs to be done so you can bring down the Owen Clan, so you can see me in a wretched state."
"..." Her purpose being exposed made Maya feel inexplicably uneasy.
She tightly clutched the contract, looking directly at Liam, seeing his nonchalant demeanor, she felt a sense of defeat.
So, clutching the contract, she angrily returned to the Hanson Clan Group.
In Aron Hanson’s office, he looked at the contract handed over by Maya, frowned and asked, "Maya, did Liam say anything when you signed this contract?"
This contract was clearly Maya fooling around, he couldn’t stop her. Unexpectedly, Liam actually signed it, it seemed his feeling yesterday wasn’t wrong.
Maya listened to Aron’s question and nonchalantly said, "He owes me." As for the bet between her and Liam, she didn’t mention a word.
Aron looked at Maya’s arrogant demeanor, took a deep breath, and advised, "Don’t fool around next time."
Maya listened to her uncle’s advice, nodded with her lips pursed, clearly being perfunctory.
Aron looked at her nonchalant attitude and reminded again, "Saturday, the Bennett Clan anniversary gala, don’t forget."
"Got it!" Maya waved her little hand and turned to walk towards the door.
On the way home, Maya drove alone, recalling Liam’s words, frowning tightly, gripping the steering wheel with both hands, muttering to herself, "Liam Spencer, you’d better not fall for me."
If in the future confrontations, Liam falls for her, things will be easier. All the grievances he suffered before could be doubled back to him.
Since the game had begun, she wouldn’t hold back. Whether it’s his spirit or his finances, she intended to destroy both.
Upon returning, she seemed colder than three years ago; the hatred towards Liam hadn’t diminished at all.
Three years of suppressed resentment finally found an outlet to vent; she couldn’t wait to see him defeated, see him begging her.
...
On Saturday, at the Bennett Clan Group’s anniversary gala, Maya entered the banquet hall, met several celebrities with Aron’s introductions, then found a quiet place to pass the time.
Until she inadvertently looked up, seeing a familiar face appear in front of her, her gaze froze.
Not far away, she saw Henry Reid openly kissing a popular actress in public, his roguish smile was something she had never seen before.
Although the black earrings on his earlobe were not conspicuous, she still noticed them.
Subsequently, another woman approached him, and he embraced her, giving her a squeeze.
Seeing such a side of Henry Reid, Maya thought she was seeing things, she blinked and looked again, the ambiguous scene was still continuing.
