Chapter 360 - Fatal Strike
Chapter 360 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" starts with dramatic events: Moreover, he was usually polite to his elders and gave them some face, but he... Discover what happens!
Moreover, he was usually polite to his elders and gave them some face, but he didnāt expect him to be so disrespectful this time while helping him educate his son. Over 50 years old, Jose Morris couldnāt swallow this humiliation.However, the Owen Clan is vast and powerful, and Liam Spencer is influential in S City. No matter how angry he is, he has to keep it to himself. Besides, it was Lillian Morris who made the mistake first, leaving him no room for argument.
So, awkwardly smiling, he said, "Young Master Spencer is busy, Iāll handle this little issue myself. But rest assured, Young Master Spencer, I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"Satisfactory? How will you make me satisfied?" Liam Spencer listened to Jose Morrisā promise, turned his head nonchalantly, glanced at him, and asked abruptly.
He was genuinely curious about how Old Master Morris would deal with his precious son, who was trying to steal his wife, which was not a minor issue.
If it were up to him to handle, even breaking one of Lillianās legs wouldnāt ease his anger.
But he wouldnāt actually cripple Lillian; he couldnāt do something so unreasonable and wouldnāt let Maya hold a lifelong grudge against him, so he wanted to hear Joseās opinion.
Jose Morris listened to Liam Spencerās interrogation and saw a hint of disdain in his eyes, causing a tremor in his heart.
Though he said he would discipline Lillian Morris, Lillian was his son after all; his punishment would amount to nothing more than verbal scolding and forbidding him from seeing Maya. What else could he do?
But facing Liam Spencerās questioning, he couldnāt stay silent, especially when he was the one who started the conversation.
Therefore, he pondered for a moment, sighed deeply, and said: "Young Master Spencer, itās true that the fault lies with our Morris Family in this matter, but fortunately it can be salvaged. Miss Hanson returned safely. As for Lillianās punishment, corporal discipline is not fundamentally a solution. After all, everyone is an adult, itās not appropriate to resolve matters this way."
"I assure Young Master Spencer that starting today, Lillian will disappear from S City and wonāt disturb Young Master Spencer and Miss Hanson for at least two years. I guarantee that Young Master Spencer wonāt see him. Does this sound agreeable?"
Liam Spencerās thoughts were fathomable to Jose Morris. If Liam Spencer were to tackle it himself, Lillian would be half-dead, without a doubt. Hence, he initially ruled out using force, prioritizing Lillianās physical safety.
Though he lacked resolve in this matter, Lillian was still his son. How could he allow him to fall into outsidersā hands and be disciplined by them?
What Liam Spencer worries about now is the relationship between Lillian and Maya, fearing Maya might elope with his son.
In that case, he would send Lillian away for two years, giving Maya enough time to marry and live her life. This way, it can be considered a win-win situation, letting Lillian reflect properly, preventing him from making mistakes related to romantic pursuits.
"Hehe!" Liam Spencer scoffed at Old Master Morrisā proposal with sarcasm. He could see Old Master Morrisā protective instincts, yet he understood the sentiment behind it.
Speaking honestly, handling Lillian indeed worried Liam Spencer.
With Maya present, dealing with it was never straightforward. If the punishment was lenient, heād feel dissatisfied; if severe, Maya would resent him for lifeāboth outcomes were undesirable to him.
If he could throw this hot potato to the Morris Family to handle themselves, it wasnāt unacceptable.
Lillian not returning to S City for two years; though this punishment wasnāt heavy, it couldnāt be better than having Lillian disappear.
Thus, he agreed, saying: "Chairman Morris, Iāll grant you face only this once. If within these two years, I encounter Young Master Morris in S City, whether youāll be able to see him, I canāt guarantee. If anything similar occurs from now on, the Morris Familyās regrets would be too late."
"Young Master Spencer, rest assured, that brat absolutely wonāt disturb your life." Jose Morris, seeing Liam Spencer grant him this face, finally eased a bit of tension.
Although he clearly knew the matter seemed largely due to Liam Spencerās dominance, perhaps Maya and Lillian genuinely found mutual love. But no one dared to argue this reasoning with Liam Spencer; anyone would be courting disaster.
At the boarding gate, Maya watched from afar as Old Master Morris humbly smiled at Liam Spencer, knowing intuitively he was apologizing to him.
She couldnāt guess what they discussed, but the one certainty was she had to return to Liam Spencerās side, let him vent his anger, and perhaps thereby secure peace for others.
Thus, suddenly she quickened her steps, emerging from behind Lillian, adjusting her breath and emotions, heading towards Liam Spencer.
She observed Liam Spencerās icy expression, her body trembled incessantly; nonetheless, she had no alternative.
Lillian watched the girl walk out from behind him, hastily calling to stop her, "Maya, donāt go, you donāt have to fear him."
Jane Spencer saw Lillian trying to chase Maya, turned carelessly to block his path, coldly mocking: "Young Master Morris, whatās wrong? Canāt handle it? Maya is an adult; she has her own choices. Who are you to interfere? If youāre capable, make her willingly stay with you!"
Regarding todayās elopement incident, Jane Spencer knew Maya was unaware; everything was part of Lillianās plan, making her all the more unwilling and unhappy.
This man intended to abandon everything for Maya, taking her away; yet when together with Jane, he was unwilling to assist her in securing Spencer Clan, rendering her disillusioned.
Jane Spencer, competitive by nature, detested losing, unable to accept Lillianās deep affection for Maya. Thus, she watched quietly, seizing the moment he was unguarded, delivering a fatal blow.
Additionally, Jane knew Maya harbored concerns about Aron Hanson and Hanson Clan Group, worried about Lillian. Even knowing Maya wouldnāt dare oppose Liam Spencer, wouldnāt dare abandon him, Jane deliberately spoke nobly, offering Maya the choice.
Emotionally, Maya genuinely lacked choice; her only choice was Liam Spencer, to remain by his side.
Keeping Maya beside Liam Spencer inevitably posed the greatest torment for both her and Lillian. Henceforth, sheād frequently appear before Maya, making her reminisce about Lillian whenever she saw her. Competing with her for a man meant sheād ensure Maya lived eternally troubled, never at peace, never happy.
Lillian heard Jane Spencerās so-called choice, feeling indignant; the option was inherently unfair to him, knowing Maya feared Liam Spencer to the point of falling ill, preventing a rational decision.
Thus, he shoved Jane Spencer slightly, called Maya, "Maya, stay with me."
"Psssh." Jane Spencer heard Lillianās plea to stay, seething, yet helpless, could only respond coldly.
"Jane Spencer, please leave immediately." Lillian felt vexed seeing Jane Spencer, wishing sheād vanish at once from his sight.
Jane Spencer witnessed Lillianās fury, clenched her teeth in anger, yet restrained herself, grinning and saying: "Fine, Iāll leave, Iām leaving now. Iām curious to see if my departure means Maya will stay."
