Chapter 293 - 291 Opportunities to Exploit [1 More]
Facing Charlotte Owen’s threat, Maya Spencer chuckled indifferently, thinking that after tonight, whatever Liam Spencer did would be meaningless.
Charlotte Owen looked at Maya Spencer’s carefree smile, angrily warning, "You better be careful, or you won’t even know how you died."
"Thanks for the warning." Maya Spencer remained as calm as ever, watching Charlotte Owen leave in a huff.
In the banquet hall, after sitting for a while, she wanted to leave, when Lillian Morris suddenly appeared in front of her and greeted her, "Bored?"
Maya Spencer looked at Lillian Morris’s smiling face, her mouth immediately turned up. She gave Lillian Morris a bright smile and said, "Yes, quite bored."
Then she asked, "Brother Morris, how is the company’s situation?"
Lillian Morris looked at the hint of worry in the girl’s eyes, reached out his right hand, and ruffled her hair, saying, "Don’t worry, I can handle it."
Lillian Morris was under a lot of pressure, but he didn’t blame Maya Spencer at all, instead, he kept comforting her.
"Yeah!" Maya Spencer nodded with a smile, feeling a mysterious gentleness towards Lillian Morris.
Their interaction was completely observed by two groups not far away. Liam Spencer watched the smile Maya Spencer gave Lillian Morris, along with Lillian Morris’s gentleness towards her, almost crushing the glass wine glass in his right hand, oblivious to the fact that his hand was not fully healed.
The other group consisted of Jane Spencer, Elia Spencer, and Lydia Jones.
Elia Spencer watched their interaction, took a deep breath, and cautiously said to Jane Spencer, "Sister, I know you don’t like me, but don’t let that little bitch blind you. I’m just reminding you out of goodwill. Keep an eye on your brother-in-law! Don’t let the little bitch seize the opportunity."
In Elia Spencer’s eyes, Maya Spencer was simply a bad woman who seduced other people’s boyfriends and husbands.
She always believed that without Maya Spencer, Henry Reid wouldn’t hate her, and she wouldn’t be in her current predicament.
Beside her, Lydia Jones saw Elia Spencer stirring up trouble and immediately joined in, saying, "Sister Jane Spencer, Elia is absolutely right; look at Maya Spencer with her foxy demeanor, clearly up to no good. Just dumped by the third young master, and now she’s trying to seduce your husband. Have some decency."
Jane Spencer wasn’t stupid; she understood how the girls were trying to instigate her. She knew who she was and wouldn’t start a feud with Maya Spencer to amuse these two.
So she laughed indifferently, and after laughing, carelessly said, "Such matters, let them be. If Lillian Morris is truly seduced by her, I’m willing to accept my defeat. I’m not like some people who only know how to cling desperately, which makes things so embarrassing and ends up with nothing. It’s better to generously offer blessings, as long as they don’t become a laughingstock in the end."
From Jane Spencer’s words, it seemed that she had become indifferent to worldly affairs. Her magnanimity left Elia Spencer and Lydia Jones awestruck.
According to their understanding of Jane Spencer, she was not such a magnanimous person, and her self-esteem was so strong; how could she allow her husband to be taken away by someone else?
But listening to Jane Spencer’s sarcastic remarks directed at them, the two didn’t dare to stir trouble again.
Jane Spencer looked at the two girls, now silent and dejected, raised her lips in a cold smile, thinking it was no surprise that they were defeated by Maya Spencer.
Jane Spencer wouldn’t tell anyone; now she desperately hoped Maya Spencer and Lillian Morris would spark a scandal, giving her a chance to break free from Lillian Morris.
At the beginning, she got together with Lillian Morris just to have him as her support and expand her influence. But after they married, Lillian Morris understood the Spencer Clan Group, no longer giving her much support, instead often advising her to let go and give the company to Kinsley Spencer.
She had guarded the company for so long and wouldn’t willingly give it to Kinsley Spencer; besides, she inherently lacked the inclination to stay home and be a housewife.
She wanted to be like Liam Spencer, able to make Spencer Clan thrive step by step, shrouding the skies with one hand, receiving adoration from many.
Jane Spencer had been accustomed to being on top since childhood, always wanting to be first in everything. Unexpectedly, as she aged, the gap with her younger brother grew, and she constantly had to look at his smug face.
Ever since they had a major argument 9 years ago, she always hoped Liam Spencer wouldn’t surpass her, but the gap grew wider, making her very reluctant.
Now, with Morris Clan Group in decline, suffering a loss of hundreds of billions in recent days, she doesn’t know how long Lillian Morris can hold on, and didn’t expect the mountain she selected back then to be so vulnerable in front of her younger brother.
In recent days, watching Morris Clan’s stock continuously hit the limit down, her heart felt like it had plunged into an ice cave. Even if Liam Spencer let him off now, Lillian Morris would probably find it hard to recuperate, and she was quite tired of acting as if they were sharing adversity these days.
So she even wished for Maya Spencer and Lillian Morris to spark a scandal, giving her a legitimate excuse to leave openly.
Thus, she didn’t bother about Lillian Morris and Maya Spencer’s laughter, just hoped they could be more intimate.
However, to her disappointment, the two interacted like normal friends without any excessive gestures.
But Liam Spencer was extremely annoyed, wishing he could crush Maya Spencer, but he had already severed ties with her, leaving him without a reason to reprimand her.
In the banquet hall, after chatting with Lillian Morris for a while, Maya Spencer got up to leave.
Lillian Morris looked at the obedient girl in front of him, thinking she liked him, couldn’t help but chuckle.
After chuckling, he took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and ruffled her hair, saying, "Hmm! Go home early to rest."
Maya Spencer looked at the man’s gentleness, bit her lower lip, blushingly asked, "Brother Morris, can I hug you for a moment?"
Lillian Morris, hearing her request, lowered his head to gaze into her eyes, the corners of his mouth still curved with amusement.
"Well... well... I’ll leave now..." Maya Spencer looked at Lillian Morris’s smile, thinking he was embarrassed, reluctant to refuse her. Feeling awkward, she immediately wanted to leave.
However, Lillian Morris suddenly opened his arms towards her, laughing, "You can’t hug for too long, or Sister Jane Spencer will get jealous."
In fact, Lillian Morris knew better than anyone that Jane Spencer wouldn’t get jealous, even wishing their embrace would cause a sensation.
Maya Spencer looked at the man’s bright smile, raised her head, and gazed directly into his eyes, her smile beautifully on her lips.
Then, without hesitation, she threw herself into Lillian Morris’s embrace, pressing her little face against his chest, cautiously saying, "Brother Morris, thank you for not blaming me."
"Silly girl, we can’t control other people’s thoughts and actions, just strive to be ourselves." Lillian Morris gently patted her back, comforting her.
Listening to Lillian Morris’s words of comfort, Maya Spencer’s eyes instantly reddened, quickly pushed him away, and waved her little hand at him, saying, "Then I’m off."
Their hug held no meaning, merely a farewell.
But Liam Spencer saw it, his eyes reddening with anger, not expecting his sanctions against Lillian Morris would instead push Maya Spencer towards him.
