CHAPTER 226: CHAPTER 224: WHY TEASE HER

On the way back, Ethan Turner drove, while Ella Turner sat in the back seat with Maya Spencer, tightly hugging Maya and comforting her, "Maya, it’s okay, didn’t you say so? It’s just a play, and since it’s over, we don’t need to act anymore; we should be happy about this."

Maya Spencer listened to Ella Turner’s comfort, but she couldn’t cheer up at all; she was unable to think normally and couldn’t figure out what was happening to her.

Why, besides anger, did she feel a touch of different emotions, emotions that shouldn’t have appeared?

She hated herself for getting too involved in the act, and she hated Liam Spencer for playing her like a puppet. She wanted to grab his collar and ask, "Is this fun for you?"

But she didn’t even know where he was.

"Maya, would you like to come to my place?" Ella Turner patted her cheek and asked.

"I want to go home." Maya Spencer didn’t want to go anywhere.

She thought Liam Spencer would be at her villa, and she wanted to see him immediately and get an explanation for why he fooled her.

Even though she could give herself an answer, she still wanted to hear him mock her, scorn her, only then could she recognize her position, and prevent herself from getting carried away in the future.

"Okay, okay! We’ll go home, and I’ll stay with you, okay?" Ella Turner was afraid she couldn’t think things through.

Meanwhile, Henry Reid was driving alone towards Liam Spencer’s villa, having left the banquet hall upon learning that the engagement party was postponed.

That day, while toasting Maya Spencer, he had instructed Liam Spencer to be nicer to Maya Spencer.

He remembered clearly, Liam Spencer said he would. But only a few days had passed, and yet he’d treated Maya Spencer this way.

If he wasn’t willing to make her happy, why keep her by his side? Everyone should just move on peacefully; why make it embarrassing for her?

When he arrived at Liam Spencer’s villa, he headed straight for the study on the second floor.

The servant watched his angered expression, chased behind him, explaining, "Young Master Reid, my master really hasn’t come back yet; he will definitely give Miss Maya an explanation. Please return for now!"

"Liam Spencer, you bastard, coward, you have the guts to ditch Maya, but come out and explain yourself."

"Young Master Reid, if you continue this, don’t blame us for being impolite."

Henry Reid searched the study but didn’t find Liam Spencer. Then, he checked the bedroom and tea room, still without a trace of him.

At the moment, Henry Reid was filled with anger, wanting to settle accounts with someone, but the person wouldn’t show up, leaving him very frustrated.

Back at Maya Spencer’s villa, she went directly to the bedroom on the second floor, but Liam Spencer wasn’t there.

Their bed, which they had tumbled on that afternoon.

At this moment, as Maya Spencer recalled their intimacy, waves of nausea surged in her stomach; she felt disgusted with herself.

Ella Turner followed behind her, afraid to say more, lest it backfired.

Just then, Maya Spencer opened the wardrobe door, took out Liam Spencer’s clothes, and threw them on the bed; subsequently, she gathered his toiletries from the bathroom.

Ella Turner thought Maya Spencer might vent her anger by shredding Liam Spencer’s clothes.

But Maya Spencer didn’t; her expression was calm, even the flash of anger from earlier had dissipated; she sat on the bed as if nothing had happened, slowly folding the clothes.

Once the clothes were neatly piled into a bundle, she picked them up and placed them in luggage.

Seeing this, Ella Turner hurried to help, and the two quickly packed Liam Spencer’s belongings; not even a sock was missed, filling four large suitcases.

Looking at the packed clothes, Maya Spencer took out her phone and dialed Elijah Reed’s number, calmly saying, "Elijah, could you come over and take Liam Spencer’s things away?"

"Miss Maya, please don’t, okay? The Boss must have had something come up to miss today’s engagement party; please give the Boss a chance to explain, okay?" Elijah Reed pleaded pitifully on Liam Spencer’s behalf.

Maya Spencer listened to Elijah Reed’s plea, neither angry nor furious, simply saying calmly, "If you don’t have time to come over, then I’ll bring it to you!"

"I’ll go, I’ll go right away. Miss Maya, please don’t be angry."

Half an hour later, Elijah Reed appeared at Maya Spencer’s villa on time, reluctantly taking someone else’s luggage away.

To his surprise, Maya Spencer wasn’t angry, but was very calm, as if she had never known Liam Spencer as a person.

After placing the luggage in the car, Elijah Reed apologized deeply, "Miss Maya, I apologize on behalf of the Boss; please don’t be angry, the Boss will certainly make it up to you."

Maya Spencer looked at Elijah Reed’s apologetic face and smiled gracefully, saying, "Elijah, I’m okay."

The more Maya Spencer said she was fine, the more Elijah Reed felt heartache. He remembered Maya Spencer sitting alone on the crystal platform, with no one to lean on, that kind of loneliness high up; he couldn’t feel it and couldn’t imagine it.

So, he said meekly, "Miss Maya, seeing you like this makes me feel terrible. If you feel unhappy, you can treat me as the Boss, and you can hit or scold me."

Beside them, Ella Turner watched Elijah Reed taking responsibility for Liam Spencer and couldn’t stand the anger she felt toward him.

Meanwhile she knew, Maya Spencer was genuinely disappointed this time, blaming herself for being careless.

Watching Maya Spencer put on a brave front made Ella Turner feel heartache, but she couldn’t take on these sad things for Maya Spencer.

Suddenly, Maya Spencer laughed at Elijah Reed’s self-blame.

After laughing, she shook her head helplessly, gracefully saying, "If that’s the case, please convey a message to Liam Spencer for me! Tell him, this time I was careless, I admit, I lost, and I accept my loss."

As soon as Maya Spencer finished, Elijah Reed was almost suffocated with discomfort, having cursed Liam Spencer a hundred times in his heart, thinking, This idiotic Boss, after finally easing relations with Miss Maya, he messed it up, back to square one.

However, seeing that Maya Spencer spoke with such resolve, Elijah Reed couldn’t persuade further and left with the luggage.

After sending Elijah Reed off, Maya Spencer took Ella Turner’s hand, returned to the villa as if nothing had happened.

In the living room, Sister Taylor cautiously asked, "Miss, after a busy night, are you hungry? Have something to fill your stomach."

"Mm!" Maya Spencer’s calmness stunned everyone.

At the dining table, she picked dishes for Ella Turner, saying, "Sister Taylor, please remodel my bedroom. I quite like your room’s style, have it decorated in a European retro style just like yours."

"Miss, won’t that be kind of old-fashioned? Besides, your apartment has that style, and you haven’t stayed even one night in it."

"Oh, it’s a pity I didn’t stay in that apartment even once; so I’ll move there tonight, and the bedroom will start the renovation tomorrow."

"Miss, I’m not at ease if you live alone; stay here instead, there are plenty of rooms."

"I’m really fine, don’t worry about me."

Meanwhile, back at Owen Clan Group, Liam Spencer sat at his desk, staring at the computer, motionless.
