Chapter 269 - Understanding Righteousness
What happens in Chapter 269 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother"? Elijah watched as Liamās expression suddenly turned cold, quickly explaining, "Boss, President Owen came by... Read on to find out!
Elijah watched as Liamās expression suddenly turned cold, quickly explaining, "Boss, President Owen came by yesterday when you werenāt here."The President Owen Elijah referred to was none other than Charlotte Owen, and she also brought Lydia along.
Seeing the two women appear, Liam thought about the trouble they caused him. If not for Charlotteās schemes, by now Maya would probably like him.
So, he glanced at them indifferently and continued to bury himself in work.
Charlotte noticed Liamās cold attitude and slowly approached his desk, raised her right hand, and knocked on it, saying, "Whatās with the attitude?"
Listening to Charlotteās questioning, Liam took a deep breath, lifted his head, and seriously asked her, "Auntie, do you have any business?"
Clearly, he wasnāt happy about her arrival, especially since she brought a burden along.
Charlotte, hearing Liamās question, swiftly pulled out the chair in front of his desk and sat down rudely, then immediately turned to Lydia, saying, "Little Rain, sit on the sofa."
Lydia followed Charlotteās directions promptly, walked over to the sofa, and sat down respectfully.
Off to the side, Elijah watched the scene, sweating, thinking to himself, better not get caught in the crossfire, so he slowly stepped back, ready to leave.
At this moment, Charlotte stopped him, saying, "Elijah, stay. Thereās something I need to discuss with you too."
Elijah heard Charlotteās order and froze in place, not daring to move.
Inside the desk, Liam watched Charlotteās arrogant demeanor, raised both hands to support the desk, rested his chin on them, and stared at her, wondering what tricks she planned to play.
As for why Charlotte was so angry, Liam surely knew. It was all because he had sabotaged Mayaās wedding to be with her.
From across the desk, Charlotte looked at Liam intently and solemnly announced, "From today on, Lydia is your assistant. Arrange as much work for her as possible."
Hearing Charlotteās words, Elijah was stunned, internally cursing, damn, sheās here to steal my job, no wonder she kept me here.
In the midst of his frustration, Liam coolly said, "I donāt need an assistant."
This made Elijah feel relieved, thinking, the boss truly understands and appreciates him.
But Charlotte was not someone easily dismissed; she calmly said, "Owen Clan Group is so large, how can just Elijah as your personal assistant be enough? You canāt overwork him excessively; handle life-related tasks over to Lydia."
Yesterday, Charlotte saw the reports of Liam calling Maya his wife, which nearly exploded her anger. Disappointed, her once hopeful Hartley was defeated right after declaring his feelings. Moreover, through Mayaās encounters with Liam, she increasingly disliked Maya, seeking ways to break them apart.
So, Liam had just arrived at the company today and Charlotte brought Lydia to report.
Since Liam couldnāt forget Grace, keeping Lydia by his side might stir his sentimentality.
Lydia vs. Maya, she believed Lydia stood a better chance, as Grace was her aunt, and naturally, they shared more similarities.
Charlotteās intentions were crystal clear to Liam; she merely wanted to separate him from Maya. But that was impossible, having used underhanded tactics to keep Maya beside him; he wouldnāt easily let her go.
Thus he firmly said, "Auntie, donāt bother, you wonāt cause any fuss. I also donāt need Lydia as an assistant."
"Liam, could you have some conscience? Little Rain just came back from the United States, all her family is there, and sheās alone without support. How can you face Grace?" Charlotte saw Liam not giving her face, so she played the emotional card.
"Pick any job position except assistant. Iām not used to women hovering around my sight." Specifically, it meant women other than Maya.
"Other than being chairmanās assistant, no other position works. Sheās a weak girl; without you, how do you protect her from mistreatment?" Charlotte refused to back down.
"Fine, fine, assistant it is. Elijah, take her and... train well." Facing Charlotteās unreasonable trouble, Liam took the challenge.
She wanted to play tricks; heād counter them without hesitation. Losing Hartley first, then Lydia next, he would see what other pieces sheād move.
Meanwhile, he also understood that with Lydia in the company, she would naturally be tough, but in terms of Lydia vs. Maya, Lydia seemed a few steps behind.
Although he didnāt understand Lydia well enough, he knew Mayaās ruthless nature better than anyone else.
In the office center, hearing Liamās command, Elijah immediately turned to Lydia and said, "Assistant Jones, please follow me."
Hearing Elijahās words, Charlotte promptly instructed, "Elijah, do arrange Lydiaās work properly."
Elijah understood Charlotteās implication; Lydia wasnāt here to work but to seduce the boss, with work being merely an excuse to stay around Liam, hoping heād notice her often.
However, judging by his assessment, the boss wouldnāt fall for it. His heart was entirely for the fifth lady, leaving no room for anyone else.
After Elijah and Lydia left, Liam responded indifferently with a chuckle, saying, "Auntie, is there a point? Do you think Lydia alone can conquer me?"
Listening to Liamās taunt, Charlotte gave a cold smile, saying, "You fancy Maya, naturally Lydia holds greater advantages."
"Let me clarify, itās not merely that I fancy Maya; encountering Maya is a rare chance." Before outsiders, Liam openly expressed his affection for Maya, yet before Maya herself, he was at a loss on how to confess.
"Oh, is that so? Then weāll see about that. I want to watch what sorcery this Maya can perform." Saying this, Charlotte grabbed her bag angrily, walking toward the door with her head held high.
She had successfully planted Lydia in, so sheād continue creating discord between Liam and Maya.
Actually, she didnāt expect Lydia to conquer Maya completely; all she needed was for Lydia to stir trouble, creating misunderstandings between the two. Yet Charlotte underestimated Maya slightly.
At this moment, in Liamās apartment, Maya lay lazily on the bed after breakfast, unmoving, like a fool.
Nowadays, she showed little interest in anything, apart from zoning out.
Thatās when her phone rang. Maya lazily picked up the phone, seeing the name "Second Brother" only then climbing out of bed to answer the call.
On the other end, Kinsley asked concernedly, "Maya, are you alright?"
"Iām fine!"
"Do you have time at noon for lunch together?" With regards to the wedding, Kinsley felt it necessary for them to meet and clarify things.
"Yes!" Maya agreed without hesitation.
