CHAPTER 230: CHAPTER 228: I WILL NOT LET MAYA GO TO YOU AGAIN

In the gym room, Maya Spencer glared at the silent phone, rolling her eyes dismissively at it.

Suddenly, the phone rang again, startling Maya. She thought it was Liam Spencer calling again and was about to hang up when she saw the word "uncle" on the screen.

She paused her run and answered her uncle’s call.

"Maya, how are you? It rained again last night," Aron Hanson’s concerned voice came through the phone.

"I’m fine, just running in the gym," Maya replied, panting slightly.

"You seem to be in good spirits!" Aron couldn’t help but admire Maya’s ability to self-regulate.

"It’s not a big deal, and anyway, given the current situation, it might not be a bad thing," Maya said, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a towel.

"As long as you’re okay, I’m relieved. Tonight, Chairman Spencer wants to invite you to dinner to apologize for last night’s incident."

"There’s no need. He should focus on Spencer Clan’s stock performance!"

"The old man feels very guilty and repeatedly insisted that I bring you along." After all, the two companies had cooperation, and Aron Hanson didn’t want things to get too awkward.

"Alright then! Send me the address and time, and I’ll come," Maya agreed, not wanting to put her uncle in a difficult position.

After all, she knew Liam wouldn’t come, and seeing the Spencer Family with furrowed brows could be interesting. It would kill some time.

But if Old Master Spencer wanted her to play the role of a virtuous wife and mother and clarify this incident, she would just say "hehe," they shouldn’t even think about it.

After the engagement party incident yesterday, Maya unexpectedly ’achieved her wish’ and became the underdog. Her photos and videos standing alone on the crystal stage last night garnered much public sympathy.

Online, everyone sympathized with her, while Liam and the Spencer Family were called trash.

Owen Clan Group and Spencer Clan Group’s stocks plummeted overnight, while Hanson Clan Group’s soared, and also involved in the incident was Hartley Shaw.

She’s now recognized nationwide as the "little mistress," with people blocking her house, making her fume with rage inside, cursing these netizens as uncouth.

What frustrated her the most was that recently Lucas Shaw kept a close eye on her. She had done nothing, yet such a huge label was placed on her, and she felt wronged to death.

The unexpected outcome amused Maya. She had never thought, after all the twists and turns, she would effortlessly achieve her initial desired outcome—cutting off ties with Liam and letting Hanson Clan Group emerge unscathed.

It seemed that in this round, she didn’t lose. At least in terms of interests, she was the winner.

Ending the call with her uncle, Maya pouted, took a deep breath, glanced at the treadmill, and shook her head helplessly. Given today’s outcome, she should be happy, yet something gnawed at her, preventing her joy.

She then lifted her small hands, patted her cheeks, and comforted herself with a smile, "Maya, you won. In this round, you are indeed the winner."

After saying this, she stepped towards the lounge.

Meanwhile, in the underground parking lot of the gym, Liam’s car hadn’t come to a complete stop when it was rear-ended.

The car behind seemed to have stepped on the accelerator intentionally, hitting his car on purpose.

Inside the car, the impact forcefully thrust Liam forward. Fortunately, he habitually wore a seatbelt while driving; otherwise, his lungs might have burst.

"Damn!" He cursed, planting his hands on the steering wheel, then unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the car.

At this moment, the perpetrator also got out of his car.

However, the one who got out was none other than Henry Reid.

The two exchanged a glance, Liam turned his head, let out a dismissive laugh, thinking, this kid must have a death wish.

Half an hour ago, when Henry went to Owen Clan Group to find Liam, he happened to see Liam’s car leaving the premises, so he followed him.

Last night was a sleepless night; nobody slept, and neither did he.

Every time he recalled Maya standing alone on the crystal stage, his rage surged uncontrollably, almost making him explode.

That’s why he had just intentionally stepped on the accelerator and viciously crashed into Liam’s car.

Now, looking at Liam’s indifferent smile, his anger seemed to reach its peak. He quickly rushed to him, grabbed his collar, and threw a punch at his face.

Of course, Liam wasn’t just going to be beaten. He immediately fought back, and the two of them tussled in the parking lot.

This time, Henry grabbed Liam’s collar, flipped over, sat on him, and threw a couple of punches at his face, cursing, "Bastard, you said you would treat her well."

Hearing Henry’s questioning, Liam grabbed his collar, yanked him down, and head-butted him brutally on the nose.

Then, he grabbed his arms, threw him sideways, raised his right leg, and kicked him away.

He then grabbed his collar again, lifted him from the ground, and slammed him against his car, angrily warning, "Henry Reid, I’m warning you, stay out of my business with Maya, or don’t blame me for not showing Asher Norton any respect."

"Sure, bring it on!" Henry said, mimicking Liam’s earlier move, and head-butted him in the nose.

Instantly, Liam was also covered in blood.

Just as the fight between the two was escalating, Christopher Scott, Asher Norton, and Xavier Graham rushed over. Seeing the battered duo, they quickly pulled them apart.

Xavier frowned and instructed, "Asher Norton, get your brother out of here."

"Bastard! I won’t let you have Maya again!" Henry was still taunting Liam even as Asher and Christopher were dragging him away.

He had already resolved to fight it out and wasn’t afraid of Liam’s revenge.

Hearing someone’s warning, Liam snapped, grabbed Hudson Moore’s phone, and threw it at Henry’s face.

Luckily, Asher moved quickly, raising his right hand to shield Henry’s face; otherwise, it would really have left a mark.

"Come on, are you guys three-year-olds? Still resolving issues with fists, isn’t it childish?" Lucas Shaw was speechless towards these two.

After Henry was taken away, Liam was forced to a nearby hospital for a check-up and treatment of his injuries.

In the hospital room, while the doctor was applying medicine on him, Lucas was giving a lecture.

He said, "Liam, the dispute between you and Henry is a personal vendetta. I don’t think it should affect the cooperation between the two companies."

Listening to Lucas’s babbling, Liam grabbed the bloody cloth from the doctor’s tray and threw it at Lucas, saying, "Since when do I need you to teach me?"

"I’m just reminding you! Afraid you’ll be petty and lose your demeanor," Lucas caught the bloody cloth thrown at him, explaining theatrically.

"Are you done? I need to go," Liam initially didn’t plan to come to the hospital but didn’t want to appear disheveled in front of a certain person, so he came anyway.

The doctor, hearing his question, hurriedly said, "All done! Before the wounds heal, avoid spicy foods and try to keep them dry."

Liam didn’t pay much heed to the doctor’s advice. He got up and left, heading to find Maya.
