CHAPTER 159: CHAPTER 157 GREAT SATISFACTION [2 UPDATES]

Maya Spencer looked at Lillian Morris’s piercing gaze and immediately averted her eyes. She knew perfectly well what she had done, so she felt guilty.

Lillian Morris noticed her evasive glance, took a deep breath, regained her usual demeanor, and said indifferently, "It’s terrible!"

"Oh!" Maya Spencer replied pretending not to care.

Lillian Morris watched her eyes dart around and casually said, "The European project, both Owen Clan and Spencer Clan have been ousted, and the stocks of both companies have plummeted, probably causing considerable losses."

After finishing his report, he stared at Maya Spencer’s eyes for a moment. Seeing that she had no significant emotional response, he continued speaking.

"And your little stepmother, Aunt Hannah, has been banished from the Spencer Family by Old Master Spencer, and probably won’t be able to return anytime soon."

"Oh!" Again, Maya Spencer responded apathetically, but inside, she was overjoyed. Owen Clan and Spencer Clan’s stocks had plunged, both companies’ projects had fallen through, and the ever-conniving Aunt Hannah had been thrown out. Hearing this good news was tremendously satisfying.

Had it not been for Lillian Morris’s presence, had she not feared revealing her true intentions, Maya Spencer would have jumped for joy. Having endured humiliation for so long, she finally got her relief.

She imagined Liam Spencer and Old Master Spencer’s exasperated looks and felt refreshed, almost wanting to hum a tune. Yet her face remained cold as usual.

Lillian Morris watched Maya Spencer’s nonchalant demeanor, picked up another piece of fruit, and offered it to her lips, maintaining the same indifferent stance.

Maya Spencer glanced at the fruit presented by Lillian Morris, discreetly lifted her head, and looked at him before politely saying, "Thank you!" She opened her mouth and bit into the fruit.

Lillian Morris looked at the girl’s obedient manner, somewhat helplessly, and after feeding her the fruit, he asked earnestly, "What are you going to do?"

"Do what?" At that moment, Maya Spencer was still immersed in the earlier good news and hadn’t caught on to what Lillian Morris was referring to.

"The child? Yourself?" Lillian Morris fixed his gaze on her belly as he asked.

Mentioning the child, Maya Spencer’s expression suddenly changed, becoming very heavy. The child was indeed her most difficult issue at the moment. After her prior internal struggle, she was unsure if she had the courage to terminate it.

Lillian Morris was right; the child was innocent! His simple words stirred a tempest within Maya Spencer, shaking her resolve not to have the child.

But even so, she hadn’t considered keeping it, so she answered candidly.

"I never thought of having it; its arrival was an accident."

Maya Spencer’s intentions had long been anticipated by Lillian Morris, but he could also see that Liam Spencer didn’t seem opposed to the child’s arrival and even seemed to care about it.

Therefore, he planned to persuade Maya Spencer to consider another perspective.

Thus, he said, "Actually, Liam Spencer is quite pleased with the child. I think perhaps your relationship could change with the arrival of this child. Many people covet the position of third mistress; it could be a good choice."

"Of course, if you feel particularly uncomfortable, you should still prioritize your inner feelings. After all, life is your own, and happiness is the most important thing."

Lillian Morris’s insights left Maya Spencer dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected Lillian Morris to encourage her to marry Liam Spencer. Was he a spokesperson sent by her older sister? Why else would he be giving her soup and fruit?

So she half-closed her eyes and stared at Lillian Morris, asking, "Are you a spokesperson sent by my big sister?"

"No, my being here, Jane Spencer doesn’t know. But if you think my suggestion is reliable, I can get Jane Spencer to persuade Liam Spencer to quickly arrange the wedding." Lillian Morris was considering this as the best solution.

In this way, Maya Spencer would have a home, the child would have a home, and no one would dare bully Maya Spencer. Moreover, by his judgment of Liam Spencer, that kid should have feelings for Maya Spencer; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been careless enough to let her get pregnant. Besides, on the night Maya fell into the sea, he jumped in without hesitation.

If he weren’t deeply emotional, would he fight so hard? Besides, Liam Spencer has never treated relationships as a joke.

He believed his feelings for Maya Spencer, only that he hadn’t yet realized them. He thought he didn’t like her, so he planned to match them up.

Listening to Lillian Morris’s advice, Maya Spencer exploded! She immediately stood up from the bed, towering over him.

She looked down at Lillian Morris with great agitation and said, "Impossible, I’ll never be able to get married in this lifetime, and I certainly won’t marry Liam Spencer!"

Lillian Morris watched the girl’s excited manner and lifted his right hand, giving her leg a slap, saying, "What’s the matter? Standing so tall, ready to fight me? Sit down!"

Upon hearing Lillian Morris’s command, Maya Spencer immediately sat down, her feet soles together, her hands holding her feet, taking a deep breath as she looked into Lillian Morris’s eyes, solemnly saying, "Brother Morris, it’s impossible for me to be with Liam Spencer."

Lillian Morris could see from Maya Spencer’s eyes that she was very serious, very certain, very clear about her feelings.

The girl’s attitude puzzled Lillian Morris; he thought, for a man as excellent as Liam Spencer, the line of women wanting to marry him could stretch across the entire Great Wall, so why was Maya so opposed to him? Moreover, from what he observed, their interactions weren’t that bad; what had truly happened between them?

So he asked, "Why? Liam Spencer is quite excellent."

When Maya Spencer heard Lillian Morris praising that scoundrel, her anger boiled over; she felt Lillian Morris had been bewitched by Liam Spencer to say such things.

She sighed deeply, bit her lower lip, organized her words in her mind, ready to vent about Liam Spencer, as if to prevent Lillian Morris from being deceived.

A moment later, she moved her right hand from her foot, clenched it tightly into a fist, shaking it up and down, unable to find a place for it.

Lillian Morris looked at her indescribable angered manner, grabbed her little claw, pressed it against her thigh, and soothed, "Don’t marry him then, don’t get so worked up."

When Maya Spencer heard Lillian Morris’s words, it seemed like she had an issue with Liam Spencer, so she immediately unleashed her thoughts, blabbering, "Brother Morris, you don’t know, Liam Spencer is so perverted, he knew early on that I wasn’t Spencer Family’s child but didn’t tell me. Moreover, he keeps bullying me in various ways; if you were me, you definitely wouldn’t choose to marry him. Plus, he’s incredibly suspicious, always thinking I’m colluding with Grandpa and testing me constantly."

Maya Spencer outlined the accusations clearly. If she were to start cursing seriously, she probably wouldn’t finish for a day and night.

Lillian Morris eyed her dramatic display, extended his hand, and rubbed her head, saying, "Don’t marry him then, why curse him?"

While the two were chatting merrily, they didn’t notice that footsteps were getting closer outside the ward.
