The boy listened to Henry Reidâs malicious sarcasm, furious and frustrated, clenched his fists tightly, took two steps forward, and approached Henry Reid.
Obviously, he was enraged by Henry Reid!
Maya Spencer saw this and immediately grabbed the boyâs wrist, saying, "Adrian, ignore him, letâs go."
"Adrian? So itâs Young Master Clark." Henry Reid heard Maya call the boy Adrian, referring to him as Young Master Clark.
The Clark Family in S City is also a wealthy family, but unlike them, the Clark Family is a family of scholars, with no one in business, yet they have close ties with the rich in S City. No matter the occasion, the Clark Family always has a place.
Inviting Professor Clark to any banquet would be a great honor.
After Maya grabbed him, the boy disdainfully rolled his eyes at Henry Reid and reprimanded, "Degenerate capitalist."
"Haha!" Henry Reid couldnât help but laugh when he heard the boy call him a capitalist, thinking, heâs really read too much, so he asked, "Isnât your Maya also a capitalist?"
"Maya is different from you all." The boyâs protective instincts were obvious.
Maya and Adrian met while studying abroad. Although Maya accumulated many things in her heart over these three years, her new life brought changes.
At least, new classmates didnât bully her or reject her. She wasnât as sharp as before and made many friends, Adrian being one of them. After graduation, they returned to their country together.
She came back for revenge, Adrian returned to serve his country.
Though she has many friends now, sheâs still deeply concerned about Ella Turner and Ethan Turner.
"Different, how different? Did her money fall from the sky?" Henry Reid continued to anger the boy, staring at his furious look.
Seeing Mayaâs attitude towards him, Henry Reid realized their relationship was good.
Since he could befriend Maya, Henry Reid was quite curious to dig deeper into what kind of person he was, able to befriend Maya.
Maya watched Henry Reidâs relentless attitude and, while pulling Adrian, scolded Henry Reid, "Canât you say less?"
"Oh! Miss Hanson is feeling heartache? Quite unexpected; you have feelings?" The more Maya protected the boy, the more dissatisfied Henry Reid became, wanting to provoke the opponent, have a fight, and settle the score.
"Adrian, letâs go, donât mind this kind of person." Adrian, although gentle in nature, also had his limits.
Being provoked at first meeting, not just anyone could stay calm.
Moreover, Adrian differs from Liam Spencer and Henry Reid; heâs not someone who beats around the bush. His world is simple, without many complicated schemes.
Once, in Mayaâs mind, Henry Reid was also like this.
Itâs just that the timing and environment of their meeting werenât right, so they couldnât become friends.
"Capitalist!" The boy angrily cursed Henry Reidâs playful attitude and left with Maya, heading to a secluded place.
In the corner of the banquet hall, Maya handed the boy a glass of juice, shook her head helplessly, and scolded, "Why bother with these people? Itâs pointless!"
"I just dislike his arrogant attitude, flaunting his familyâs money. I canât stand such capitalists." The boy expressed his opinions indignantly.
"Maya, donât get me wrong, I wasnât talking about you. Youâre different from those capitalists." After complaining, the boy immediately explained to Maya.
In his heart, Maya was the untouchable goddess, pure and holy!
"Haha!" Maya couldnât help but laugh at the boyâs explanation. She said, "Iâm not as good as you think; Iâm also a vile capitalist."
The boy listened to Mayaâs self-deprecation, nervously stared at her eyes, and asked, "Are you mad? I really didnât mean you."
"I know you didnât mean me, and I didnât blame you." Being with Adrian, Maya felt relaxed.
Because heâs always like a child, wearing his heart on his sleeve, and his ideas are naive, always full of passion to serve his country, making Maya find him quite adorable.
Yet their relationship is just good friends. In three years of knowing each other, they could do experiments together, discuss topics, talk ideals, and talk life, but not about romance.
"Maya, I feel you should keep your distance from these capitalists, focus on your talent, do meaningful things, talk with classmates, and donât let these capitalists brainwash you."
"Yes, yes! Donât worry, I wonât be brainwashed by capitalists; Iâll be brainwashed by you." They joked and laughed, quite happy.
Thinking of her classmates, Maya felt the sunshine of life and realized her life had its good moments.
While abroad, she thought maybe she shouldnât return at all, forget the past, and start anew.
Yet, she was stubbornly sentimental, couldnât let go of the past, unable to ignore the investigation of her motherâs unexplained suicide or forget the harm brought by the Spencers.
She knew she had a psychological barrier, that without overcoming this, she couldnât be truly happy in her life.
Thatâs why she returned, returned to bring herself closure.
Not far away, Henry Reid watched them talk and laugh, his smile was cold.
He couldnât accept that after being hurt by Maya completely, she could start a new life.
She would never know she hollowed his heart, making his life meaningless.
Thatâs why he numbed himself with partying to fill the void and pass the time.
Why could she smile at Ella Turner and Ethan Turner, at Adrian, but couldnât accept him?
Henry Reid didnât realize; it was his manner of introduction that was wrong, so they were destined not to be friends.
He was jealous, jealous that her beautiful smile was always for others; even a little would make him feel better.
While he stared at Maya, the noisy crowd suddenly erupted.
Such commotion, he didnât need to look to know Liam Spencer arrived, the one who was as much a failure as him.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Liam Spencer had just stepped in and was surrounded by reporters.
Maya glanced at the crowd indifferently, caught a glimpse of Liam Spencer through the gaps, he came with an elegant and poised female companion, completely different from Abigail Murrayâs temperament, clearly possessing the aura of Her Majesty.
"The third young master must have arrived! Only his presence could cause such an effect." Adrian also glanced at the entrance and said casually.
Maya didnât want to discuss someone with him, so she immediately shifted topics, asking, "Adrian, arenât you the one who dislikes capitalists the most? How come youâre at Bennett Clanâs annual celebration?"
The boy listened to Mayaâs question, sighed, and explained helplessly, "Grandpa said since I just returned to the country, I should come out to gain some insight and meet more people."
"Experience capitalists?" Maya jokingly asked.
"Yes, yes! Experience the opulence of capitalists." Facing Mayaâs tease, the boy always accepted calmly.
