At this moment, Christopher couldnât hold back anymore. Afraid that Liam might flip the table, he immediately explained, "Third Brother, donât misunderstand, Maya and that guy are just classmates, nothing else."
"Who is that guy?" Liam asked, suppressing his anger.
"Teacher Clarkâs son. They studied abroad together. Really, thereâs nothing more to it."
"Ha! So, itâs Young Master Clark!" Liam sneered coldly.
"Yes, yes! Donât lose your temper, give Teacher Clark some respect. Besides, Adrian is just a bookworm. Maya wouldnât like such a boring person." Christopher hurriedly reminded him, fearing someoneâs jealousy would get the better of them.
However, Liam just said nonchalantly, "Oh! Is that so?"
In his view, Maya seemed quite fond of that bookworm, and that guy wasnât dull at all; he managed to amuse Maya so much, something Liam himself couldnât do!
"Yes, and donât be mad. Iâll call her over to greet you." As Christopher spoke, he took out his phone and called Maya.
Not far away, Maya heard Christopherâs call, lifted her head, and looked at them, her expression immediately turning serious.
She didnât want to heed Christopherâs words and go over to greet them, so after hanging up, she didnât pay attention.
Liam watched the girlâs suddenly changed expression, feeling extremely depressed. He thought, what does Maya mean by this? Seeing them, she puts on a sour face, as if they owe her something.
No doubt about it! Indeed owed, and not by others, but him, Liam Spencer himself.
Beside her, Adrian noticed Maya suddenly turning silent, lifted his right hand, pinched her arm, and asked, "Maya, why are you suddenly unhappy? Do you know Third Young Master and the others?"
"Not well, no need to pay attention." Maya pretended to be indifferent.
But soon after, Christopherâs call came again. He said, "Sweetheart, bring Young Master Clark over to meet us. His grandfather taught us, after all."
In reality, Grandfather Clark had never taught them, nor had his father. He was deliberately trying to find common ground!
Adrian saw Mayaâs phone ring again, then followed her gaze to look at Christopher and the others, seeing Christopher gesturing for him to go over!
For a moment, he felt awkward!
Although back home, his sister had briefed him on the celebrities of S City, he didnât know these people at all, nor did he plan to make their acquaintance.
When Maya lifted her head to look at Liam, she saw him staring fixedly at her, as if he wished to devour her whole.
Afterwards, she noticed Liamâs gaze shift to Adrian, which made her swallow a lump in her throat with alert wariness.
She thought, if she continued to hide, it would only make Liam wildly speculate, think there was something between her and Adrian.
To not affect Adrian, Maya took a deep breath, smiled, and asked the boy, "Why donât we go over and greet Fifth Master Scott?"
"Sure, okay!" the boy nodded, not refusing.
So, the two of them stood up from the sofa and leisurely walked towards Christopher and the others.
"Truly a beauty," Hartley remarked, unable to help herself, as they approached.
"And quite the fiery temper!" About the matter of Maya privately taking the child, Christopher dared not mention it, fearing someone might wreck the place.
Watching Maya walk step by step closer, Liamâs smile grew colder, seeing Maya protectively shield Adrian behind her. It reminded him of how she would chat and laugh with him while driving.
Liam swallowed a gulp, suppressing his anger, telling himself not to tear the kid apart.
"Oh! Is this your classmate, sweetheart?" Christopher took the lead when they arrived.
"Hmm! This is my classmate, Adrian."
Then, he turned to Adrian and introduced, "Adrian, this is Fifth Master Scott, and this is Third Young Master."
"Hello, Fifth Master Scott!"
"Hello, Third Young Master!"
Even though Adrian had little regard for the capitalists, he wouldnât slight Mayaâs friends.
"Young Master Clark, impressive! You can make Maya laugh like that." As Christopher spoke, he ruffled Adrianâs handsome hairstyle, treating him like a child.
"Maya loves to laugh," Adrian explained.
It would have been better had he not explained; upon hearing this, someoneâs expression turned even worse. So, Maya only gives him sour looks, is that it?
"Come, let me introduce a sister to you, Hartley, Lucas Shawâs cousin, call her Sister Hartley." Christopher introduced Hartley to the two earnest little guys.
"Hello, Sister Hartley!" the two greeted in unison.
"Oh! How sweet, I didnât bring any red envelopes today, but Iâll treat you to candy another day," Hartley said, in a parental manner, treating them as children.
Seeing Hartleyâs calm and gracious demeanor, Maya immediately recognized her as Liamâs companion for the evening. No wonder, being Second Master Shawâs cousin, sheâs exceptionally poised, and Liam shows her quite the respect.
After the pleasantries, Liam looked at Adrian with a smile, extended his right hand, and greeted, "Young Master Clark, itâs a pleasure to meet you!"
Adrian gazed at the extended hand of Liamâs, feeling slightly shy; he hadnât expected the legendary Third Young Master to be so approachable and courteous to him.
What he didnât know was that at this moment, Liam envied breaking him into pieces and feeding him to the fishes, so he could never appear in front of Maya again.
Thus, he naively extended his right hand, gently shook Liamâs hand, and said with a smile, "Itâs a pleasure to meet you, Third Young Master."
Regarding Mayaâs past, Adrian knew nothing; thus, he had no idea about the love and hatred between her and Liam.
When their hands clasped, Adrianâs face suddenly turned pale, eyes staring fixedly at Liam.
Heâd never known that capitalists would shake hands with such force, almost crushing his bones.
He saw Liamâs composed smiling face, awkwardly reminding, "Third Young Master, youâre hurting my hand."
"Pfft!" Nearby, Christopher and Hartley couldnât help but laugh, thinking this guy must feel bewildered, not knowing how he had offended Liam.
After laughing, Hartley promptly hugged Liamâs arm, advising, "Liam, what are you doing? Donât scare the kid."
However, Liam ignored Hartley, kept smiling at Adrian, and said, "I heard Young Master Clark is quite the expert in life sciences. Someday, we should discuss further. I wholeheartedly support Young Master Clarkâs research work."
This speech from Liam, Adrian couldnât understand, but the others could hear it clearly; he was threatening someone!
Maya watched Liamâs provocation, bursting with anger, thinking, what a madman, lashing out at everyone he meets.
Seeing Adrianâs awkward expression, she took a deep breath, grabbed Liamâs wrist with a smile, and said, "Third Young Master, thatâs quite a long greeting, isnât it?"
After saying that, she tugged Liamâs hand downwards slightly, but the man didnât budge an inch.
