Chapter 452 - Falling into the Trap
Here is Chapter 452 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother": At this moment, Maya Spencer finally let out a long breath and led Liam Spencer... Donāt miss it!
At this moment, Maya Spencer finally let out a long breath and led Liam Spencer back to the ward.However, as she pushed open the ward door, she saw Elijah Reed and Ella Turner waiting inside for them.
Ever since that night, after Liam was admitted to the hospital, Maya and Ella hadnāt seen each other.
Although Liam had agreed not to pursue the matter further, Maya was still deeply concerned about Ellaās actions. After all, this person almost caused the loss of a life she cared about the most, and she hadnāt built any trust with Ella yet.
Therefore, when she saw Ella, she coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ella, noticing Mayaās cold attitude, realized she hadnāt been forgiven yet. Standing awkwardly in front of the living room sofa, with reddened eyes fixed on Maya, she remained silent, unsure of what to say.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the ward became extremely awkward, and Elijah even suspected that bringing Ella to the hospital was a wrong decision.
To ease the awkwardness, Elijah immediately approached Maya and Liam with a smile, saying, "Boss, Ella knows she was wrong. She shouldnāt have listened to othersā words, let alone started the fire."
It wasnāt until Elijah broke the stalemate that Ella dared to approach Maya, held her hand, and said, "Maya, Iām sorry. I shouldnāt have doubted you, shouldnāt have taken revenge on my own."
Then she turned around and bowed 90 degrees to Liam, saying, "Principal, Iām sorry!"
Maya suddenly became dumbfounded, thinking to herself, what chaos is this? With Ella and Elijah making a scene, her lie to Liam earlier was now completely exposed, not even an hour had passed.
As expected, Liam, hearing Ellaās apology, looked at Maya with confusion and asked, "Maya, didnāt you say you started the fire by accident?"
Ella heard Liamās words, tears streaming from her eyes, realizing the enormity of her mistake. Maya had covered for her, despite thinking sheād never forgive or speak to her again, realizing Maya still cared and saw her as a friend.
Suddenly, she opened her arms wide and hugged Maya tightly, repeatedly apologizing, "Maya, Iām sorry! Iām sorry! Iām sorry! I shouldnāt have doubted you, Iām sorry!"
"Donāt use tears to buy my forgiveness. Youāve made such a big mistake, reflect on it properly, Iām not forgiving you so easily." Maya didnāt respond to Ellaās hug, instead raising her hands to avoid touching her, showing she was still angry.
Ella knew Maya was angry, but still cared about her, so she hugged her even tighter.
Actually, Liam deliberately exposed Mayaās lie in front of Ella, wanting Ella to know how much Maya was protecting her, hoping Ella wouldnāt hate Maya when she eventually discovered the truth, because Maya was innocent and unaware.
"Yes, yes, Iāll reflect, Iāll reflect," Ella sobbed in response to Maya.
"Alright, alright! Stop crying! Stop crying!" Maya pretended to be impatient in her comfort, then instructed Elijah, "Elijah, pass me some tissues."
Elijah received the command and quickly walked to the coffee table, grabbed a few tissues, pulled Ella away, and said, "Ella, stop crying, otherwise people outside might think something happened in the ward."
"Alright..." Feeling warm inside from everyoneās forgiveness, Ella joined Maya and Elijah, realizing she was never alone and always had companionship.
After drying her tears, she approached Liam again, bowed 90 degrees, and apologized, "Principal, Iām sorry! Iām really sorry."
Elijah saw this and immediately whispered to Liamās ear, informing him who gave Ella the fake evidence.
He expected Liam to be surprised, to have a drastic change in expression, but Liam merely responded blandly, "Hmm, I know."
Liamās calmness left Elijah puzzled and somewhat bewildered.
Afterward, Liam calmly said, "You take Ella back first, I have some words to say to Maya."
"Yes, Boss."
Seeing Liam didnāt pursue the matter further, Elijah pulled Ella away. Ella was surprised that Liam wasnāt angry with her and didnāt even utter a word of blame.
At this moment, she finally believed Mayaās praise for Liam. That man is generous, and she was astounded.
If it had happened to her, she wouldāve exploded and not easily let herself go. It seems she had much to learn, thinking how Liam revived the Owen Clan and made it flourish, clearly, heās no ordinary person.
After the arson incident, Ella no longer worried about Maya staying with Liam.
In the ward, after Elijah and Ella left, Maya found herself in trouble, thinking Liam had sent them away to settle accounts with her for lying.
So, when Liam closed the door and approached her, she felt guilty, taking a step back for every step he advanced, her face wearing an embarrassed smile.
When Liam cornered her against the wall, Maya joined her hands in prayer and incessantly pleaded with Liam, explaining, "Third Brother, I was wrong, I shouldnāt have lied to you, shouldnāt have said I started the fire, please forgive me this time!"
"Forgive? Maya, do you think someone as petty as me would easily forgive you?" That was his evaluation of Liam when he was unconscious.
Maya, hearing Liam describe himself as petty, smiled more awkwardly, thinking this coward had been awake for a long time, pretending to sleep, wasting her breath.
But she dared not speak these words to Liam face-to-face, so she just foolishly smiled and asked for forgiveness.
She asked, "Third Brother, then how will you forgive me?"
"What do you think?"
"How about I let you tie me up when we get home, okay?" Maya couldnāt think of any other way but to offer what he liked, considering heās so difficult, only liking her.
"Tying up is too easy, isnāt it?"
"Then how about a kiss?"
"Do you think Iām so easily appeased?"
"Then what do you want?" Maya was about to go crazy.
"What do I want? Of course, I want whatever I want, are you trying to bargain?"
"No, no, whatever Third Brother says goes." Maya felt like crying but had no tears, thinking she set herself up for trouble, clueless about what tricks he planned.
"Thatās more like it." Finally, when Maya completely compromised, Liam slyly pulled her into his embrace.
Following this, he returned to the main topic and asked, "Maya, do you know who gave Ella the evidence?" His concern wasnāt Mayaās lie but this matter.
Nevertheless, Maya had lied, feeling guilty, fearing Liam, setting herself up for a trap, falling into a pit.
Hearing his question, Maya immediately pushed Liam away, raised her head, and said sternly, "Third Brother, I really donāt know. I asked Ella before, but she wouldnāt tell. Iāll ask her again tomorrow after discharge."
