CHAPTER 229: CHAPTER 227: I AM ALREADY REGRETTING IT

Even though the feeling of pain diverted her attention for a moment, her mind still recalled the scene of her standing on the crystal platform, lonely and helpless, waiting for someone to arrive.

Back then, she hadn’t even thought that she had become a joke in everyone’s eyes. She felt only loneliness, helplessness, anger, and despair.

Just when she felt she couldn’t endure the pain any longer, the apartment door suddenly opened, and Sister Taylor rushed in.

She pushed open the bedroom door, and upon seeing Maya Spencer curled up in a ball, was instantly terrified. She immediately ran over, crouched on the floor, took out Maya Spencer’s medication from her pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Miss, the medicine is here, the medicine is here!"

Hearing Sister Taylor’s voice, Maya Spencer smiled slightly at her.

Sister Taylor looked at Maya Spencer’s forced smile, and her eyes instantly reddened as she hugged her tightly, comforting, "It’s okay, it’ll all pass."

At that moment, she thought of Liam Spencer’s face and was filled with hatred. How could he usually pamper Maya Spencer so much and then leave her alone at the engagement party? And he still hadn’t appeared or given Maya Spencer an explanation.

She recalled how Maya Spencer had neatly returned his clothes, and regretted that she hadn’t burned all his things at that time.

In the bedroom, after taking her medicine, Maya Spencer felt much better, and she leaned on Sister Mason’s shoulder for the entire night.

When she fell asleep, Sister Mason had to use all her strength to lift her onto the bed.

The next morning, when Maya Spencer woke up, the sun was already shining brightly, and the sun outside was scorching hot.

She rubbed her eyes, remembered yesterday’s awkwardness and last night’s sorrow, took a deep breath, and slowly got out of bed.

In the living room, Sister Taylor saw Maya Spencer awake and immediately greeted her with a smile, "Miss, lunch is ready, come and eat!"

Maya Spencer thought of how Sister Taylor had braved the storm last night to bring her medication, smiled at her, and said, "Sister Taylor, thank you!"

"No need for thanks between us, hurry and come eat, you must be starving!"

"Okay!" Maya Spencer responded as she walked towards the dining table.

After the commotion last night, Maya Spencer felt a void in her heart. It was as if everything that happened these past days was a dream, as if she hadn’t seen Liam Spencer in these days, and they hadn’t had any engagement disputes.

Even though the experiences made her feel unreal, the lingering pain in her heart was genuine, constantly reminding her that she had been played.

Thinking about that, Maya Spencer put down her chopsticks and with a smile said, "Sister Taylor, I’m full. I’m going to the gym this afternoon, you can go back to the villa and do your work!"

"Miss, I’ll go with you."

"Sister Taylor, no need to worry about me. Yesterday was my oversight, and I forgot to take my medication. From now on, I’ll always have my medicine with me."

The smile on Maya Spencer’s face was radiant, as if she wasn’t bothered at all about being left alone at the engagement party.

Sister Taylor was afraid that she would irritate Maya Spencer by sticking too close, so she let her go to the gym alone.

At the gym, Maya Spencer almost became everyone’s focal point, yet she ignored all the gazes.

The only reason she appeared in public was to show everyone she was fine.

On the treadmill, she took a long breath, looked at the screen, noting that she had run 4.6 kilometers yet felt no fatigue, so she slightly increased the speed to sweat more.

Just as her finger lifted from the screen, her phone, resting on the screen, rang.

She looked at the name Liam Spencer without expression, acting like she didn’t see it. She switched her phone to silent mode, letting the screen flicker, refusing to answer the call.

Finally, after a few rings, the caller seemed to give up and stopped calling.

In the Owen Clan Group chairman’s office, Liam Spencer stared at six missed calls, his brow furrowing.

Eventually, he dialed Elijah Reed’s number, summoning him.

"Elijah Reed, where is Maya Spencer?"

"BOSS, according to Sister Taylor, Five Miss is redecorating her bedroom, so she has moved out of the villa."

"I asked where she is now?"

"The gym."

Liam Spencer looked at Elijah Reed’s composed demeanor, knowing that Elijah Reed blamed him for leaving Maya Spencer deserted with no explanation yesterday.

Thus, he sternly said to Elijah Reed, "Elijah Reed, focus on your duties, mind your own business."

"BOSS, I want to resign." Elijah Reed had spent the whole night thinking and found himself unable to accept Liam Spencer’s selfishness.

So, gathering his courage, he expressed his desire to resign to Liam Spencer, unwilling to aid or abet, unwilling to bully Maya Spencer any further.

Listening to Elijah Reed’s resignation request, Liam Spencer suddenly got angry, grabbing a textbook from the desk and violently throwing it at him, roaring, "Get out!"

He didn’t approve Elijah Reed’s resignation because Elijah Reed, like Xavier Graham and the others, had been with him through countless trials and tribulations, never abandoning Owen Clan regardless of its state.

Now he was resigning over a trivial matter in his personal life, and moreover, for Maya Spencer. He was displeased.

In front of the desk, Elijah Reed dodged the book thrown by Liam Spencer with a swift left move.

Afterwards, he spoke aggrievedly, "Last night’s incident was indeed BOSS’s fault."

"So now! You want to resign? I have many faults. Why now, Elijah Reed, what do you want?" Liam Spencer asked angrily.

Elijah Reed understood Liam Spencer’s implication, thinking Liam Spencer suspected him of resigning to steal Maya Spencer’s heart, even though he never had such thoughts.

Thus, he helplessly explained, "BOSS, it’s a misunderstanding. I have no intentions regarding Five Miss. I only feel pity for Five Miss; you couldn’t see her helpless state last night. If you had seen it, you’d surely regret your actions."

"I am already regretting it." Liam Spencer continued to rage, hurling more objects at Elijah Reed.

Yet again, Elijah Reed dodged them.

Liam Spencer watched Elijah Reed evade his throws, feeling a sudden urge to laugh, but held back. He said, "Who asked you to act emotionally? My feelings for Maya Spencer are not for you to grasp. Let any unsuitable thoughts die prematurely."

"BOSS, I understand. My resignation was said in anger, don’t..."

"Get out, get out, get out..." Elijah Reed’s words were interrupted by Liam Spencer, so he had no choice but to leave.

Watching Elijah Reed’s retreating figure, reflecting on their shared journey over the years, Liam Spencer exhaled deeply, explaining while looking at his back, "Grace is dead."

Instantly, Elijah Reed was stunned, the news too sudden, leaving him a bit dazed.

After the shock, he turned around, sincerely apologizing, "BOSS, sorry, I misunderstood you."

"Get out..." Liam Spencer rarely explained, but felt that he should give Elijah Reed an explanation on this matter.

After Elijah Reed left, Liam Spencer also departed the office, heading straight to the gym to find Maya Spencer.
