No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 97 - 95: Our Cooperation [Part 1]
Chapter 97: Chapter 95: Our Cooperation [Part 1]
The girl was very beautiful, her smile sweet, standing by Liam Spencer’s side, not only proud but happy as well.
When Maya Spencer’s gaze fell on the girl’s feet, she realized that the two of them were wearing the same style of shoes. Instantly, she felt embarrassed, turned to go back to her room to change clothes but found Henry Reid blocking her path from behind.
Moreover, Henry Reid had a charming female companion by his side, who also seemed to be the daughter of a wealthy family.
Upon seeing Henry Reid, Maya Spencer slightly raised the corner of her mouth, nodded at him as a gesture of greeting, and then bypassed him, continuing towards the guest room.
The man watched her hastily departing figure, shifted a step to the left, once again blocking her path, and greeted her.
"Good evening, Fifth Miss!"
Maya Spencer wasn’t the slightest bit angry at Henry Reid’s attitude because it was not enough to provoke her anger, so she calmly smiled and said, "Good evening, Young Master Reid."
Their confrontation hurt only Henry Reid; the girl’s disdain filled him with rage, her harsh words from last time echoing in his ears again.
In recent days, after reflecting, Henry Reid believed that he treated Maya Spencer too kindly, giving her the confidence to fear nothing, and her words that day truly angered him, so he hadn’t sought her out during this period.
He was waiting, waiting for Maya Spencer to regret, waiting until she utterly lost him to realize his worth.
But he was wrong; Maya Spencer, seeing him attend the banquet with someone else, showed no emotional upheaval, not even considering the outfit clash was more significant. He felt unpleasant.
Beside them, the girl holding Henry Reid’s arm gave Maya Spencer a scrutinizing glance, sweetly clinging to his arm, and asked, "Henry, which family’s Fifth Miss is this?"
"The Spencer Family’s!" Henry Reid replied, staring directly into Maya Spencer’s eyes.
"Does the Spencer Family have a Fifth Miss? Aren’t there only the eldest Miss and the fourth Miss?" The girl was curious about Henry Reid’s answer and tightly clung to his arm, questioning further.
"Old Master Spencer’s illegitimate daughter." Henry Reid mercilessly exposed Maya Spencer’s status as an illegitimate child.
However, Maya Spencer’s attitude towards him remained indifferent, showing no concern about his exposure since her status had been looked down upon many times before. What’s one more time? she thought.
And so, she bypassed Henry Reid and walked away.
Maya Spencer’s cold attitude left Henry Reid without an excuse to continue troubling her because the more he disturbed her, the more uncomfortable he made himself.
After Maya Spencer left, the girl’s lips curved slightly upward, turning to see Maya’s departing figure, sneering disdainfully, "I thought she was some family’s eldest Miss, turns out just an illegitimate daughter, what’s there to act all coy about!"
Then, she clung to Henry Reid’s arm again, saying, "Henry, don’t bother with such illegitimate children! With a mother as a mistress, surely she’s not good either. If she can live in the Spencer Family’s house, she’s surely looking for a share, don’t bother."
Listening to the girl’s mockery of Maya Spencer, Henry Reid lowered his head, bitterly smiled, thinking that if Maya really was only after money, how wonderful it would be. He’d be willing to give her the entire Reid family as long as she was willing to stay by his side.
Yet, she never looked directly at him, which frustrated Henry Reid. He was desperate to know who the man she liked was that made her willingly give herself to him. Henry Reid thought he could see the truth today, only to find that Maya Spencer was alone, without a partner.
While Henry Reid was saddened, Madam Reid came, took the girl’s hand, smiled, and said, "Sienna is so beautiful, she’s just perfect with our Henry."
"Thank you, Auntie, for the compliment." The girl listened to Madam Reid’s praise and promptly let go of Henry Reid, clinging to his mother’s arm, acting spoiled.
Madam Reid looked at Sienna Carter’s obedient demeanor, patted her small hand, looked at Henry Reid, and instructed, "Henry, you’re doing the right thing! Develop well with Sienna, and don’t bother with those dubious girls."
Henry Reid’s mother disliked Maya Spencer. Originally, she wasn’t pleased that her son liked Maya, and what made her most frustrated was that the illegitimate daughter refused her son. Over the past half year, in order to win back Henry Reid’s heart, she didn’t know how many blind date candidates she had arranged for him. Now, finally, he was rid of her, no longer interested in that illegitimate daughter, making her feel relieved.
Next to them, Henry Reid listened to his mother’s nagging, feeling very irritated, thinking of Maya Spencer’s icy face. He was furious, imagining the sight of her regret, wanting her to turn back and ask him, to tell him she liked him.
However, he received nothing; Maya Spencer didn’t even show overwhelming remorse, barely bothering to glance at him.
"Hey! What are you rushing for, in a hurry for reincarnation?" Maya Spencer was preparing to leave the banquet hall when she was blocked again.
Upon looking directly at the person, she realized it was her sister, Elia Spencer.
"Move." Her attitude towards Elia was even colder.
"Maya, what’s with your attitude, do I owe you money?"
Every time Elia saw Maya’s lifeless demeanor, she wanted to tear her face apart, but tonight’s situation was special, she couldn’t act recklessly, she had to ask Maya for a favor.
Maya Spencer listened to her question, took a deep breath, and stared right into her eyes, harshly warning her, "Elia, don’t think I don’t know about the fake money scheme that you and Aunt Hannah conjured. If you’re smart, best not provoke me, or I won’t guarantee I’ll let you stay for three to five years."
Now, she had Liam Spencer backing her, her tone grew much bolder, making threats to Elia with ease.
Listening to the girl’s threat, Elia, infuriated, ground her teeth, wishing she could splash her with the wine in her hand. However, she didn’t dare make a move tonight, even without the third and second brothers or Henry Reid to support her, as grandpa was still there, about to announce her identity!
So, she swiftly shifted the topic, asking, "Seeing Henry Reid with someone else, aren’t you upset? He used to like you so much, now he’s fond of someone else."
Maya Spencer listened to the girl’s question, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, smiling coldly at her, thinking, so she’s come to ask her for a favor again.
Except in the Spencer Family, whoever asked her for a favor, she’d help, but she wouldn’t assist her and Hannah.
So, she was too lazy to bother with her, turned and left.
Seeing her about to leave, Elia hurried over, grabbed her, and said, "The girl with Henry Reid is Sienna Carter, a daughter of the Carter Family, the Carter and Reid Clans have collaborations, perhaps a business marriage alliance."
"Oh!" Seeing her explaining so laboriously, Maya turned her head, looked at her, and responded indifferently.
Truth be told, she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in Henry Reid and that girl’s story, so she didn’t bother with Elia at all.
"Maya, let’s cooperate, first drive Sienna away, then we’ll compete, and let’s see whom Henry chooses."
