CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 238: ARE YOU AFRAID THAT I WILL EAT YOU?

Especially Jane Spencer’s gaze, she scrutinized Maya Spencer from head to toe several times.

On the sofa, Kinsley Spencer noticed everyone’s strange looks and quickly got up to welcome Maya Spencer.

He took Maya’s bag while looking at Lillian Morris and said, "Brother-in-law, thank you for bringing Maya back."

"No problem, just had some work to discuss, so we came back together."

Old Master Spencer, upon hearing about business, instantly widened his eyes and hurriedly turned around to question Lillian Morris, "Has the Morris Clan Group started collaborating with the Hanson Clan too?"

Although Lillian Morris was Jane Spencer’s husband, he didn’t interact much with Spencer Clan Group in matters of work. He wouldn’t easily cooperate with Spencer on his projects, usually choosing to invest money and start separate projects.

"Planning on it." Lillian Morris deliberately let out the news, baiting the old man to bite.

Old Master Spencer, hearing Lillian Morris’s intention, immediately turned to Jane Spencer and said, "Jane, see if there’s anything we can help with, we should definitely assist where we can."

The old man claimed to offer help, but in reality, he just wanted to get involved, unwilling to miss any money-making opportunity.

Seeing that Grandpa only thought of Sister Jane Spencer, Maya immediately interjected, "Grandpa, I’ve already discussed this with my second brother. If we need help, I’ll speak with him."

"Alright! Alright! Then Kinsley will handle this." Reluctantly, the old man had to entrust Kinsley with the task.

However, Kinsley was completely puzzled. He had no clue about the project, and to his surprise, Maya acted so swiftly and had even roped in Lillian Morris, indicating that he had underestimated her before.

Beside them, Jane’s face turned green with anger. She understood Maya shielding Kinsley, but Lillian Morris was her husband. If she didn’t look out for herself, then what was going on?

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became and wanted to ask Lillian for an explanation, but with Grandpa around, she had to suppress her anger.

In the living room, after Lillian and Maya sat down for a short while, the servant announced dinner.

At the dining table, Old Master Spencer looked at Maya seriously and asked, "Maya, have you thought carefully about marrying Kinsley?"

Listening to Grandpa’s questioning, Maya gently put down her chopsticks, raised her head, looked directly into Grandpa’s eyes, and answered earnestly, "Grandpa, I have thought it through thoroughly."

"Third Young Master, you’re back!" As soon as Maya finished speaking, Aunt Parker’s voice came from the living room, and her voice was full of panic, clearly startled by Liam Spencer.

Immediately, everyone heard the sound of Liam’s heavy footsteps heading towards the dining room.

Instantly, the dining room fell silent.

Old Master Spencer didn’t invite Liam for dinner today to avoid trouble, but unexpectedly, he came uninvited.

So, at this moment, Old Master Spencer felt guilty because all members of the Spencer Family were present except for him.

In the large dining room, Liam stared directly at Maya as he stepped closer to the table.

Seeing everyone silent, Liam was filled with rage, thinking, Well done, Maya, returning and winning over everyone in the Spencer Family, a feat worthy of Miss Hanson, truly different from the past.

With his hands in his pockets, his heavy footsteps were particularly audible.

As he reached the table, he suddenly kicked the chair in front of him with a "bang," startling everyone.

Afterward, he sat down casually, lazily leaning back in his chair, turned his head, stared at Old Master Spencer at the main seat, and asked, "How come I wasn’t informed on such a lively day?"

Old Master Spencer looked at Liam’s arrogant behavior and replied in all seriousness, "You’re busy with the company, so we didn’t call you back."

"No matter how busy I am, I should come back to see my sister-in-law, right?" Liam’s sly smile was cold, and when he said the word "sister-in-law," he deliberately raised his volume significantly.

However, across the table, Maya didn’t take him seriously at all, picked up her chopsticks, and continued eating unperturbed.

Sitting beside her, Lillian did the same.

Liam watched Maya’s dismissive attitude, fuming with anger, and took a deep breath, telling the servant, "Aunt Parker, bring the wine."

On the opposite side, hearing the words "bring the wine," Maya couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows, quickly put down her chopsticks, and smiled at Grandpa, saying, "Grandpa, I’m full. I’ll go home first."

"Sister-in-law, your little brother-in-law just got back, and you’re leaving. Are you afraid I’ll eat you?" Before Old Master Spencer could respond, Liam interjected.

His purpose was clear, returning just to stir up trouble.

Listening to Liam’s provocative words, Maya gave him a cold glance without responding.

"Third Young Master, the wine is here." At this time, Aunt Parker handed a bottle of foreign liquor to Liam.

Liam took the wine, and seeing Maya was about to leave, he quickly stood up, walked to her, and pushed her back onto the chair, pressing his hands on her shoulders.

He said, "Sister-in-law, on such a fine day, how can we not drink?"

After speaking, he picked up Maya’s glass, downed the juice in a gulp, and filled her glass with wine.

He clearly knew that Maya had drunk so much recently that she developed gastric bleeding, yet he still deliberately poured her wine.

Maya looked at the man, thinking he mistook her for Grace, hence her discomfort; she felt much better at heart.

"Liam, Maya’s stomach isn’t well, I’ll drink for her." At this moment, Kinsley, sitting beside Maya, spoke up. After speaking, he picked up the glass filled with wine and drank it all.

"Grandpa, I’m full. I’ll take Jane home first," Lillian said, placing down his chopsticks, then turned to Maya, saying, "Maya, I’ll give you a ride."

At this moment, Liam’s anger was almost uncontrollable, wishing he could crush Maya.

Jane, at this moment, wished Liam would cause a ruckus to teach Maya a lesson.

But she didn’t want everyone to see Liam’s excessive concern for Maya because she didn’t want everyone to care more about Maya because of this.

So, she quickly stood up, grabbed Liam’s arm and said, "Liam, reaching this point was your choice. You can’t blame anyone else. It’s useless to take out your anger on anyone. Think about it yourself!"

Seeing his big sister also defending Maya, Liam felt, for a moment, that he was outcast by everyone, that the Spencer Family couldn’t tolerate him at all.

Though he had long been outcast, it was the first time he had been collectively blamed by everyone.

However, all this was because of Maya, who hadn’t been favored in the Spencer Family at all before.

Listening to Jane’s reproach, Liam took a deep breath, removed his large hand resting on the back of Maya’s chair, and stood up slowly.

Maya felt the man standing behind her, her back chilled, so she immediately stood up from the chair, took two steps back, and stood beside Kinsley.

Watching the girl dodge, Liam took two steps towards her, unconcernedly extended his right hand, grabbed her chin, and glared at her fiercely.

Remembering a few days ago when she drove and crashed into him, his chest inexplicably ached, and even the large hand grasping her face was trembling, thus gripping her even harder.
