Chapter 382 - Demanding Justice
Chapter 382 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" starts the action: Ella listened to Maya Spencerās concern and instantly felt even more aggrieved. Her pouting mouth... Find out what happens!
Ella listened to Maya Spencerās concern and instantly felt even more aggrieved. Her pouting mouth curled up higher, and the tears she had painstakingly held back started to fall again.Seeing Ella cry, Maya felt even more distressed and immediately wiped her tears, asking, "Whatās wrong? Why are you suddenly crying? Who bullied you? Iāll deal with them for you."
Although Maya and Ella hadnāt known each other for long, just a few months, their friendship was as deep as childhood friends.
In school, Ella had accompanied her in fights, and now that Ella was wronged, she naturally wanted to protect her. Besides, this friend had taken the trouble to get her close to Lillian Morris to pursue happiness.
How could she not feel for such a friend?
"Maya! Waa..." Looking at Maya, who hadnāt left, Ella started to cry loudly.
Seeing this, Maya immediately pulled her into her arms, holding her with her left hand and wiping her tears with her right, asking, "What happened?"
It was then that Ella removed her hands from her face, sniffling as she complained, "Elijah Reed bit me, bit my face."
Maya looked at the bite mark on Ellaās face, confused and puzzled.
But as she regained her composure, she suddenly wanted to laugh. Though she knew it was inappropriate, she couldnāt help it when she imagined Elijah Reed biting Ellaās face.
"Pfft..." In the end, she couldnāt hold back and burst out laughing.
"Maya, youāre laughing at me. I got bitten for your sake, and youāre laughing?" Ella, seeing Maya laughing at her, immediately stopped crying, raised her little hand to push Maya away, refusing to be held.
Maya, touching the bite mark on Ellaās face, furrowed her brow and asked, "Did you call Elijah a dog?"
"But heās always meddling," Ella retorted indignantly.
"Uh-huh! Does it still hurt? Letās go to the hospital to check it out," Maya said, feeling sorry.
"It doesnāt hurt anymore. You should tell me why you didnāt leave. Thatās more important. And you didnāt call me in advance; Iāve been hiding in my brotherās apartment, afraid to go out, and I even cut my hair," Ella muttered as she sat on the sofa, unceremoniously grabbing Mayaās juice for a big sip.
Seeing this, Maya immediately waved to the waiter and said, "Waiter, please get a freshly squeezed mango juice and a mango mille-feuille for this guest."
Mango was Ellaās favorite fruit, and Maya would always order it for her.
After ordering the juice and dessert, she sat across from Ella and calmly said, "Liam Spencer had the plane turn around, and Lillian and I got caught in the act, so I wanted to wait for things to settle before contacting you."
"Ah..." Ellaās mouth opened into an O shape, eyes wide with surprise. She asked, "Then what happened? Did the principal bully you?"
"No, Liam didnāt say anything, just took me home, and hasnāt mentioned it again since. Weāre quite good now." As Maya said this, she suddenly stopped, reached out her right hand to grab Ellaās hand, and solemnly said, "Ella, Third Brother is really good to me now, so you donāt have to worry about me."
Ella, hearing Maya refer to Liam as Third Brother, knew they had a good relationship, but she felt embarrassed, blinking her big eyes, scratching her curly short hair, and complaining softly, "How was I supposed to know!"
"He really likes me." Maya spoke confidently every time she talked about Liamās affection for her.
Ella continued muttering, "Liking is one thing, but no need to be a weirdo."
"Uh-huh!" Maya nodded, agreeing with Ellaās opinion.
"What about President Morris? Elijah said heās disappeared. Whatās going on? Did they kill him to stop you from having ideas?" Ella made a throat-slitting gesture, asking Maya nervously.
"Youāve got the wrong idea about Liam. He wouldnāt do something illegal. Old Master Morris sent Brother Morris away to calm the situation, saying he wouldnāt show up in S City for two years. Itās a good thing; it gives him a fresh start." Talking about Lillian again, Maya felt relieved and no longer guilty towards the Morris Family.
"So thatās how it is. That damn Elijah scared me, saying I should have disappeared, too. It frightened me to the point of babbling nonsense and insulting him all over." Ella caressed her face, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Itās not right. That guy bit too hard; we must get justice for you. Ella, put your hand down and let me take a photo," Maya said, grabbing her phone.
"Uh-huh! Get justice for me; I want to bite back." Upon hearing that justice could be sought, Ella became highly excited, as if invigorated.
But Maya shook her head and said, "Ella, donāt get so worked up. You need to look pitiful and very wronged so people can see youāre the victim."
"Uh-huh! I am genuinely aggrieved, pitiful, and the victim." Ella immediately puckered her lips, eyes reddening, filled with tears, looking extremely wronged.
"Yes, thatās the effect we want." Maya said as she took a picture of Ella and sent it to someone on WeChat.
At the moment, in the conference room on the top floor of the department store, Liam Spencer eagerly opened the message Maya sent.
"Pfft!" He couldnāt help but laugh when he saw the photo Maya sent and the words of accusation.
Elijah Reed, sitting next to him reviewing department store documents, was startled by Liamās sudden laughter and quickly asked, "BOSS, what are you laughing at?"
As Elijah spoke, Liam laughed even harder. The thought of Elijah biting Ellaās face was just too amusing, and it explained Elijahās complex expression when he came back earlier.
Then, he held the phone up to Elijahās face, pretending to be calm as he asked, "Is this your doing?"
Only then did Elijah realize that Maya was seeking justice for her friend.
Looking at Ellaās photo and Mayaās accompanying words, he felt ashamed. Maya had said,
In fact, it was just an impulsive act, nothing more!
After the awkwardness, Elijah, blushing, explained, "BOSS, I clashed with Ella to argue for you. You canāt side with Miss Five."
"So, youāre saying I should praise you?" Liam looked at Elijah, unable to suppress his laughter, unable to fathom Ellaās demeanor at the time.
"No, I donāt need praise. I told her to see a doctor and that Iād compensate her." Elijahās voice grew quieter and more embarrassed, knowing this incident would be a lifelong humiliation.
Listening to Elijahās response, Liam shook his head helplessly, then stood from his chair to head to Mayaās location, with Elijah following.
In the cafĆ©, Maya comforted Ella, touching her tooth mark, "Ella, donāt feel wronged. Iāll make sure to get justice for you."
"Principal!" As soon as Maya spoke, Ellaās eyes widened in shock, and she reflexively slid under the table in fear.
