CHAPTER 234: CHAPTER 232: I’M NOT INTERESTED IN YOU

Maya Spencer listened to the girl’s request, furrowing her brows as she scrutinized her, not recalling where she might have seen her before.

The girl noticed Maya’s disdainful look and laughed while explaining, "My name is Lydia Jones, but you can call me Little Rain."

"Sorry, I’m not interested in you." Faced with a stranger’s approach, Maya directly refused.

"I’m here to explain the absence of Third Young Master at last night’s engagement party." The girl had an arrogant demeanor, as if Maya were some mistress unable to lift her head.

Upon hearing it involved Liam Spencer, Maya’s brow furrowed even more, and she said, "Sorry, I’m not interested either."

"Miss Maya truly lives up to her cold reputation, but I think there are some things you should know. For instance, why does Third Young Master hate you? Why does he make things difficult for you everywhere? Why would he not want to marry you after you were pregnant?" The girl threw out several questions, trying to pique Maya’s curiosity.

Maya saw through the girl’s mysterious pretense and knew she was up to no good, just then she was uninterested in anything related to Liam Spencer, let alone the questions raised by the girl.

She knew their relationship more clearly than anyone.

The two were merely tormenting each other, and she did not want to delve into deeper intentions. She also didn’t want to know what the relationship was between the girl and Liam Spencer.

So, she rolled her eyes at the girl nonchalantly, grabbed her purse, stood up from the dining table casually, and turned to walk towards the door.

Seeing Maya ignoring her, Little Rain panicked.

Charlotte Owen had instructed her to ensure Maya knew Liam’s past for them to completely sever any ties, or else they might reconcile.

Thus, she immediately chased after her, grabbed Maya’s wrist with her left hand, pulled out a photo of Grace from her bag with her right, handed it to Maya, and said, "This is my sister, Grace."

Maya reluctantly took the photo from the girl, glanced down at it.

She thought the girl looked somewhat familiar but couldn’t recall whom she resembled.

Seeing Maya’s puzzled look on her brow, Little Rain took a deep breath and said, "You bear a resemblance to my sister, do you not think so?"

Maya heard the girl’s words, locked her brows, gave her a glance, and said nonchalantly, "No resemblance."

After Little Rain’s reminder, Maya felt the girl in the photo seemed even more unfamiliar, not like her at all.

"Stop deluding yourself, sit down! It won’t waste much of your time." The girl said as she pulled out the chair for Maya.

Maya noticed Little Rain’s persistent attitude and sat back at the dining table; technically, she was interested in the girl in the photo.

Seeing Maya no longer avoiding, Little Rain took a deep breath and started recalling the past, recounting the love moments of Liam Spencer and Grace.

Moments later, she seriously stared at Maya and asked, "Do you understand? Third Young Master was deeply in love with my sister. Due to my sister’s timidity, not wanting him to see her in distress, she temporarily suggested a breakup.

Thus, Third Young Master harbored deep resentment for my sister until you appeared, and he mistook you for my sister, venting his dissatisfaction on you. The reason for Third Young Master’s absence at the engagement party was because he learned of my sister’s passing.

Now that Third Young Master knows the truth, he will no longer hate my sister, so you will no longer be tormented.

Maya, I sincerely apologize on behalf of my sister for any indirect harm she caused you. I’m really sorry, forgive us!" The girl said as she stood up from her chair, bowed 90 degrees, respectful and apologetic to Maya.

Suddenly, Maya was stunned.

If Little Rain hadn’t appeared, she would never have known that she was merely a substitute to bear another’s anger.

She took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and realized her body was trembling uncontrollably.

Originally, her once-peaceful heart suddenly revived again, resurrected with immense rage.

In her mind, the memories she wanted to avoid became vivid again—recalling her charming moments beneath him, her compromises towards him made Maya catch her breath.

At this moment, her mind was blank, buzzing, and couldn’t even hear Little Rain’s subsequent words.

Her hands tightly clenched into two fists, her teeth were shaking.

Opposite her, Little Rain saw her anxious demeanor, walked close, patted her shoulder, asked, "Maya, are you okay?"

"Can you let me be alone for a moment?" Maya felt the girl’s concern and calmly responded.

"Are you sure you’re okay? Do you need me to take you home?" Little Rain furrowed her brow in concern and asked.

"Thank you! I’m fine! No need!" Maya feigned composure, but inside she was already crumbling.

Little Rain saw she didn’t wish to communicate further and took the photo of her sister back from Maya’s hand, left first.

In the restaurant, Maya reminisced about the truth Little Rain revealed to her and couldn’t help but laugh.

She laughed and laughed until her eyes turned red suddenly.

She had always believed Liam Spencer disliked her because she had ulterior motives going to the Spencer Family, unaware there was a deeper reason.

Those memories she had been gradually forgetting rushed back intensely, thinking about being bound and gagged in his office, she swallowed hard, her throat sore.

She always thought it was his strong possessiveness, preventing him from allowing women he slept with to have connections with other men, hence his fury over her rumors with Kinsley Spencer.

Never did she expect, he had mistaken her for Grace, the one who fell for another boy and dumped him.

In this way, everything can be explained, including his apology last night and the topic of marriage.

Thinking of Liam Spencer saying let’s get married directly last night, Maya turned her head to the left, looked out the window, and smiled helplessly.

Her hands held her small face, secretly wiping away tears. She wanted to cover her pain with a smile, wanted to tell herself she wasn’t angry, she wasn’t sad.

Yet the tears continuously reminding her that she had indeed been wronged.

Yesterday, upon hearing the word marriage, she was a bit surprised, thinking Liam Spencer wanted to continue playing a charade to salvage Owen Clan Group’s losses.

It seems she was being sentimental. The reason he mentioned marriage was because he suddenly realized Grace had never abandoned him, and his hatred for Grace was pointless.

So he suggested marriage, once again mistaking her for Grace.

Formerly, he transferred his hatred for Grace onto her; now does he want to shift his guilt for Grace onto her?

Realizing she had been living in the shadow of a deceased person, Maya forcibly stopped her tears, rubbed her little face, stood up from the chair, left the restaurant, and headed towards Owen Clan Group, wanting an explanation for her years of injustice.
