No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 121 - 119: You Wretch [2nd Update]
Chapter 121: Chapter 119: You Wretch [2nd Update]
She took a deep breath and looked at Madam Reid, just in time to see her arm raised again. Maya Spencer tightly closed her eyes, preparing to endure the slap that didn’t come as expected.
She quickly opened her eyes and saw a big hand from behind her intercepting Madam Reid’s wrist, pushing her aside forcefully. If there hadn’t been someone supporting her from behind, Madam Reid would have heavily fallen to the ground.
Maya swallowed hard, staring intently at Madam Reid. She was furious about the slap just now and hadn’t had time to question Madam Reid before hearing her say, "You troublemaker, if anything happens to Henry, I’ll make you pay double."
Listening to Madam Reid’s accusation, Maya looked straight at her, calmly asking, "What did I do to Henry Reid?"
"You bitch, you bitch." Madam Reid was so angry she felt she might explode, looking at Maya’s indifference. She couldn’t understand why her son liked her, apart from that face, what else did she have?
"Yes! I’m a bitch, so please control your son and tell him not to bother me." Ignorantly, Maya showed no courtesy to Madam Reid.
At this time, someone in the crowd couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward to remind Maya, "Young Master Reid jumped into the sea to save you last night and is still unconscious. The doctor says his condition is quite serious."
Upon hearing the explanation from the bystander, Maya was so scared that she went weak all over, not daring to look at Madam Reid. It turned out she wasn’t venting for Sienna, but because Henry jumped into the sea to save her. Henry jumped into the sea! She was dumbfounded! Her legs gave way, and she leaned against the wall, motionless.
Maya’s mind was blank. She couldn’t imagine that the lively Henry was now in a coma. She looked at the red-eyed Madam Reid and didn’t know how to explain to her.
Even if Henry volunteered to jump into the sea to save her, even if she normally accustomed to indifference, knowing someone jumped into the sea and is comatose for her, Maya couldn’t ignore it, couldn’t pretend it had nothing to do with her. But she didn’t know what to do.
Everyone watched Maya’s shocked expression while Liam held her in his arms, pulling Madam Reid away and comforting her, saying Henry would be fine.
After the crowd dispersed, Maya turned around, grabbed the man’s collar with both hands, looked up at him fiercely, and asked, "Why? Why didn’t you tell me last night that Henry was still unconscious?"
Liam looked at the girl’s tension, knowing she felt guilty. He grabbed her wrist and said calmly, "Would it help if I told you? Can you make him wake up?"
"..." The girl was speechless. She indeed couldn’t wake him up, but Henry was in a coma for her, yet she slept peacefully. What was that about? Maya felt uncomfortable. She knew Henry liked her, liked her enough to risk his life, but this affection put a lot of pressure on her. What could she do for him to repay this debt of gratitude?
Liam looked at the girl’s frightened, tense eyes, gently holding her face to comfort her, "Henry will be fine, don’t carry a psychological burden."
Maya didn’t speak but released his collar, resting her head on his shoulder, thinking if something really happened to Henry, what should she do? How would she explain to Madam Reid?
Then, she remembered Lillian Morris. She clearly remembered seeing Lillian before she passed out, feeling him holding her in her muddled state. Thinking of this, her heart leaped to her throat. She was afraid again, afraid something happened to Lillian because he was her sister’s fiancé. If something happened to him because he saved her, how could she explain to Sister Jane Spencer?
However, Maya’s worry for Lillian disappeared the next moment, because she suddenly remembered Sister Jane Spencer had been to Liam’s room in the morning. If something had happened to Lillian, Sister Jane Spencer wouldn’t be so calm.
Thinking of this, Maya let out a long sigh, feeling both fortunate and unfortunate in her recent circumstances.
The man listened to the girl’s sigh and held her tighter, planting a kiss on the top of her head for comfort. Unknowingly, Liam’s chest had become Maya’s only support when feeling helpless.
Two hours later, Liam carried the girl’s suitcase, taking her back to the Spencer Family’s villa.
At the villa entrance, Liam watched as the girl unbuckled her seatbelt, his left hand on the steering wheel, and his right hand gently touched her head, asking, "Really not going with me?"
"Yes! I want to stay at the Spencer Family." She no longer needed to explain her reasons for staying to the man once more. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Liam listened to the girl’s decision, took a deep breath, removed his big hand from her head, unbuckled his own seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and got out before her. He opened the trunk and took out her suitcase, heading to the passenger seat outside.
This time, Maya had already gotten out of the car, watching the man carrying her suitcase intently while facing the villa sideways.
Facing Liam’s care, she felt uncomfortable. His goodness always reminded her of the shameful and humble aspects of their relationship. Watching Liam’s attentiveness, she lifted the corners of her mouth helplessly and followed him into the villa.
Once inside the living room, everyone was already back and seated there, seemingly waiting for them.
Maya felt guilty under everyone’s gaze. After all, the ambiguous relationship between her and Liam at the charity gala was too much.
So, she pretended to be calm and called, "Grandpa!"
The old man looked at the polite Maya, sighed helplessly, and said, "Maya, I’m sorry for the scare. But don’t worry, Grandpa will help find the culprit."
Listening to the old man’s words, Maya frowned, wondering why he said he’d find the culprit instead of suspecting she drowned herself, since she hadn’t revealed to anyone that she was thrown into the sea.
Hannah quickly chimed in, afraid of getting into trouble, "Yes, we must find the culprit. It’s terrible! Disrespecting the Spencer Family by throwing the fifth Miss into the sea at our main event, what a disgrace!"
Listening to Hannah’s anger, Maya coldly laughed. It seemed things were more complicated than they appeared, as they already knew she was thrown into the sea.
Then, Maya took a deep breath, smiled calmly, looked around the room, and asked with a smile, "Did I tell anyone that I was thrown into the sea? How do you all know more about the incident than I do?"
As soon as Maya finished speaking, the living room fell silent, and for a while, everyone was speechless.
