Chapter 291 - 289: You’ll Get Used to It [4 Updates]
Suddenly, she understood everything. So it turns out that Elia Spencer’s backer is Lydia Jones, who whispered words in Liam Spencer’s ear and got Elia released.
Watching the scene not far away, Maya Spencer smiled wryly, feeling an extreme contempt for Liam Spencer growing in her heart. She hated him more and more, and looked down on him ever more.
She thought to herself, he really must be in a good mood. As the sister of his ex-girlfriend passed away, he didn’t even spare her younger sister. Truly a beast. So she disdainfully gave the two women a roll of her eyes, sneered coldly, and moved her gaze away.
This kind of combination looked harsh to the eyes, and she couldn’t be bothered to look more.
However, her expression of disdain and contempt was noticed by Liam Spencer.
He watched the girl’s dismissive mockery, and the anger in his heart instantly flared brighter.
He thought that as long as he kept attacking Lillian Morris, Maya Spencer would continue to come to him. Unexpectedly, he was wrong; ever since that day, she hasn’t cared about him at all.
Thinking of this, he curled his lips coldly, thinking that Lillian Morris’ place in her heart was just that. She never even visited thrice out of courtesy for Lillian.
Even Maya Spencer’s love was so cold, so chilling.
The only one she truly loved was herself.
Even though Lillian Morris saved her life and gave her trust and safety, they were never more important than her dignity.
Liam Spencer looked at Maya Spencer’s nonchalant demeanor and wanted to dig out her heart to see if it was icy, wondering how she could be so indifferent to the world.
His efforts went unseen by her! She could set aside Lillian’s "life-saving grace" just like that! Even her own child she could say "away with it"! Who could ever catch her eye? Who could ever move her heartstrings? Why did he, of all people, like such a cold-hearted monster?
After about ten days of struggle, Liam Spencer was already on the verge of defeat, about to lose to Maya Spencer’s coldness.
He couldn’t imagine how Lillian Morris was in deep trouble because of her, and yet she remained indifferent.
At this point, not far from him, Lydia Jones faced Elia Spencer’s gratitude and smiled, saying, "Elia, there’s no need to thank me anymore. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. I don’t like Maya Spencer either."
"Little Rain, if you could marry my third brother and become my third sister-in-law, I’d be over the moon." In Elia Spencer’s eyes, any woman in the world was suitable as a sister-in-law except for Maya Spencer.
Lydia Jones listened to Elia’s words, smiled at her, and said, "Hmm! I’ll do my best."
While the two were happily chatting, Liam Spencer arrived. Although he stood by Lydia Jones, his peripheral vision constantly fell on Maya Spencer.
Beside him, Lydia Jones saw where Liam Spencer’s gaze landed and her expression turned unsightly, thinking that she needed to swiftly win Liam Spencer over so that Maya Spencer wouldn’t have any chance to overturn things.
So she hooked her arm around Liam Spencer’s and smiled, saying, "Liam, big sister is over there; take me over to greet her!"
"Hmm!" Faced with Lydia’s suggestion, Liam Spencer did not refuse, as Maya was also over there, and it was an opportunity to see her.
Not far away, Jane Spencer greeted a few guests before stopping before Maya Spencer.
Maya Spencer saw Jane Spencer in front of her and immediately stood up from the sofa, smiled at her, and said, "Big sis, happy birthday!"
Jane Spencer looked at Maya’s smile, frowned, and asked, "What’s going on here? Why is the person beside Liam Spencer Lydia Jones, not you?"
"Pfft!" Maya Spencer couldn’t help but laugh at her sister’s question, and after her laugh, she calmly said, "Big sis, no need to make a fuss. It’s as normal as daily meals for the third young master to change women. You just have to get used to it."
"But you’re different. You’re Maya Spencer." Jane Spencer certainly hoped that Maya would become her sister-in-law rather than Lydia, as she had more to discuss with Maya and Maya would help her.
But Lydia Jones, she couldn’t be certain about. Everyone knew she belonged to Charlotte Owen, and she couldn’t get along with Aunt Charlotte since she was young, so it’s a pipe dream to consider using Lydia’s people.
"Big sis, don’t worry! Without the Owen Clan, there’s always the Hanson Clan. Since you’ve been so good to me, Uncle won’t forget it." Maya Spencer understood Jane Spencer’s intent better than anyone, but she didn’t say it outright or expose it.
"Miss Hanson’s level of self-consolation is genuinely reassuring. I was originally going to come over to persuade you a bit, but it seems unnecessary." At this moment, Lydia Jones suddenly appeared behind Jane Spencer and Maya Spencer, speaking sarcastically.
The reason she dared to openly provoke Maya Spencer was that she knew there was conflict between Liam Spencer and Maya. So, why should she care? Naturally, she would pick the most unpleasant words, with one aim to give Liam some relief, and the other to further stir up their relationship, deepening Maya’s misunderstanding of Liam.
Facing Lydia’s provocation, Maya Spencer turned and smiled coldly at her, saying, "Then I, as your senior, wish you more days of favor."
Beside her, Liam Spencer watched the girl’s indifferent attitude and her mockery, and was fuming, yet unwilling to quarrel with her, so he had to suppress his anger.
Lydia listened to Maya’s "blessing," suddenly laughed, and after, she said, "Maya, I’m different from you. Previously, the third young master kept you by his side only because you resembled his sister, but now clearly, you don’t resemble her at all, so naturally, he won’t want you."
After Lydia said that, she turned to ask Liam Spencer, "Third young master, isn’t it true? She doesn’t resemble your sister at all, right? Your sister is gentle and magnanimous, but she, apart from her bad temper, doesn’t have one good quality of your sister."
Listening to Lydia compare Maya with Grace, Liam Spencer was actually irritated. He hated it most when others said he took Maya as Grace’s substitute.
But looking at Maya’s disregard, her disdain towards him, and thinking of her secret love for Lillian Morris, he responded to Lydia, saying, "Hmm! Indeed."
Maya Spencer watched Liam protect and indulge Lydia and criticize herself, feeling very frustrated, while her dislike for Liam grew stronger.
Thus, she raised her lips and smiled coldly, saying, "Oh! Is that so? Then I wish you a lifetime living in someone else’s shadow."
Even in Maya’s words, every punctuation exuded disdain for such a ’task’. Since Lydia liked being a shadow, then let her be one; Maya couldn’t care less. Besides, she couldn’t care less about compromising with someone as despicable as Liam Spencer.
As soon as Maya finished speaking, Liam’s face turned white with anger, thinking she truly planned to never speak to him again and wouldn’t care about Lillian’s situation either. What a Maya Spencer, how indifferent.
Beside him, Lydia saw Liam’s face turn pale with fury, knowing her provoking strategy had succeeded. She had successfully deepened their resentment towards each other. Once Aunt Charlotte added fuel to the fire, the two might completely split.
