Chapter 312 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" opens presenting key developments: Jane Spencer looked at the hint of embarrassment in the girlâs eyes and asked with... Read on!
Jane Spencer looked at the hint of embarrassment in the girlâs eyes and asked with a smile, "Maya, I need to go to the bathroom, do you want to come with me?""Iâm not going." Maya Spencer forced a smile in response.
Jane didnât actually want to go to the bathroom, but she noticed Maya avoiding Lillian Morrisâs gaze, so she intentionally gave them space. As for asking Maya to come along, it was just for show; she knew Maya wouldnât go.
Because from her eyes, Jane could tell there was something Maya needed to explain to Lillian Morris.
At the dining table, after Lillian watched Jane leave, she took a deep breath, stared at the girl, and asked, "Maya, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Listening to the manâs questioning, Maya immediately smiled and explained, "Brother Morris, I havenât forgotten. Iâm with Liam Vincent because heâs really good to me."
Hearing the girlâs defense, Lillian was even angrier, exclaiming irritably, "Heâs good to you? Then why were you crying? Why is your complexion so bad?"
He could see that she wasnât doing well and that she was very repressed.
"Brother Morris, you misunderstand; heâs actually quite nice to me." Maya didnât want Lillian to know anything was wrong with her, nor did she want him to know about her deal with Liam Spencer.
"Maya, youâre lying, your ears are red, youâre lying." Her unusual behavior was easily noticed by him.
"Liam, youâre back, huh." At this moment, Maya suddenly looked up, gazed behind Lillian Morris, and greeted Liam Spencer with a smile.
The girlâs reaction made Lillian feel more strongly that she was being forced to stay with Liam. He looked up and rolled his eyes at Liam, offering no greeting.
Liam observed Lillianâs dissatisfaction towards him, lifted the corners of his mouth, laughed nonchalantly, and then sat beside Maya, directly facing Lillian and asked indifferently, "Does Brother Morris have a big issue with me?"
"Ha! Does the Third Young Master even care about othersâ opinions?" Lillian responded with a sneer, indeed he had issues with Liam, and quite a lot of them.
Liam, amused by Lillianâs arrogance, couldnât help but laugh. After laughing, he turned, reached out his right hand, and probed the birdâs nest in Mayaâs bowl and said, "Itâs cold, let the waiter change it."
"No need, I canât eat anymore." At this moment, Maya had no appetite.
Liam saw the panic and evasiveness in the girlâs eyes, his smile grew colder, his instincts told him something must have happened between the two.
Mayaâs attitude was something he could accept.
But given his understanding of Lillian Morris, he was very easygoing and wouldnât argue with others, yet today he showed displeasure. Even when attacking the Morris Clan, he still maintained a smile.
However, seeing Maya and him together, Lillianâs expression changed immediately. Obviously, something must have occurred between the two, causing Lillianâs resentment, which was definitely not work-related.
Thus, during the following dinner, everyone ate in frustration, while Jane Spencer acted as if it didnât concern her and watched the drama unfold.
On the way back, Liam Spencerâs face was grim, Maya sat in the passenger seat, fearful and worried about making him unhappy.
At this point, Liam suddenly reached out his right hand, pinched Mayaâs chin, making her meet his eyes directly.
As the twoâs eyes met, Maya pitifully looked at Liam, as if explaining that there was really nothing between her and Lillian.
Looking into her clear eyes, seeing her aggrieved little face, he took a deep breath and said, "Maya, you better not let me catch your weakness."
"Okay." She stared into his eyes, solemnly promising.
Liam, seeing her determined look, let go of her. From her eyes, he could tell she feared him and wouldnât dare betray him, so he didnât continue to challenge her.
Beside him, seeing him no longer pursuing the matter with Lillian, Maya finally let go of her anxious heart, clearly feeling Liamâs temper had gotten better over time.
When they got home, they saw Ella Turner squatting at the hallway outside the elevator.
"Ella, why are you here?" Maya was very surprised, as was Liam, though he was obviously unwelcoming.
"Maya, I went to the villa to find you earlier, Sister Taylor asked me to come over." Several days ago, Sister Taylor had asked Ella to check on Maya.
But Maya kept saying she was busy, only keeping in touch over the phone, until this afternoonâs call, Ella heard something off in Mayaâs voice, prompting her unannounced visit to Liamâs apartment.
Immediately after, Ella got up from the ground and bowed 90 degrees to Liam Spencer, "Hello, Principal."
"Hmm!" Liam indifferently responded.
"Principal, can I take Maya out to a nearby cafĂŠ for a chat?" Ella, having mustered great courage today, openly challenged Liam.
"No." Liam swiftly refused.
"Liam, Iâll come back after a short while, okay?" Seeing this, Maya pleadingly requested.
"Come back early." Liam couldnât resist her gaze and ultimately relented.
In the cafĂŠ, Ella tightly held Mayaâs hand and asked, "Maya, is the Principal imprisoning you?"
Days ago, Sister Taylor called Ella with hints of information. Being older and just a servant, she couldnât extract details from Maya, hence the arrangement for Ella to persuade Maya.
"Ella, youâre overthinking." Maya helplessly shook her head.
"Maya, I found your bookmark; is it because of Lillian?" This afternoon, Ella found several bookmarks in Mayaâs study, leading her to deduce the truth.
Upon hearing Ella mention bookmarks, Maya was jolted with shock, realizing one more person knew her secret.
"Maya, donât bear so much alone; arenât we friends? Why wonât you tell me anything?" More than anything, Ella felt hurt by Mayaâs secrecy.
However, as she spoke, Mayaâs emotions burst, tears fell like rain; she truly was carrying too much, but how should she convey the burdens to Ella?
Even so, Ellaâs emotional appeal made Maya break down completely, and she confessed everything.
Listening to Mayaâs story, Ella cried red-eyed, shocked at Liamâs cruelty towards Maya, trampling on her like that.
This anger Ella didnât know how to swallow, nor did she wish for Maya to stay with such a monster.
Despite promising Maya she wouldnât divulge anything, after dropping Maya back at the apartment, she still dialed Lillianâs number, believing he deserved to know the truth, to understand Mayaâs love for him, rather than Maya bearing all the pressure alone.
