CHAPTER 241: CHAPTER 239: PLAY WITH YOU TO THE END

"Liam, have you no sense of rules at all?" Old Master Spencer was both angry and terrified at Liam’s arrogance.

Ever since this fellow became sensible, he never listened to anyone, never respected the Spencer Family’s rules, and every time he returned to the family estate, he caused everyone to be uneasy.

Listening to his grandfather’s roar, Liam remained indifferent and glanced at him dismissively.

The old man, seeing his cold eyes, quickly stood up from his chair, clutched his cane with both hands, and angrily demanded, "Why did you skip the engagement banquet?"

Liam listened to his grandfather’s roar, but he didn’t answer; instead, he just smirked coldly.

He knew well enough that Maya getting engaged to Kinsley was his own doing, that he hurt Maya first, but he just couldn’t stomach others defying his will.

Watching Maya’s scornful look, he leaned in close, his lips almost touching hers, threatening, "Maya, since you want to play, I’ll play with you to the end."

Hearing the man’s threat, Maya, full of anger, rolled her eyes at him fiercely.

Then, Liam roughly let go of her jaw and brushed past her, walking away without looking back.

The atmosphere in the dining room was eerily strange.

Seeing the situation, Kinsley forced a smile and said, "Grandfather, I’ll escort Maya back home first."

Following that, Lillian grabbed Jane Spencer and left as well. Moments later, only Hannah and her mother were left in the living room.

Throughout tonight’s dinner, the mother and daughter were mere spectators, not saying a single word.

Until everyone was gone, Elia suddenly burst into laughter, slapping the table, saying, "That was brilliant, they actually infought, and brother-in-law actually sided with Maya."

"Mom, did you see, Sister Jane Spencer’s face turned green, and how are Kinsley and Maya going to get married? They can’t even stand to look at each other without feeling awkward."

Watching Elia’s smug little figure, Hannah took a deep breath and said, "Elia, be more composed, Jane Spencer will definitely cause trouble in front of your grandfather during this time. You should perform well, spend more time with your grandfather after work, talk less, and don’t criticize anyone, just make him happy."

Hannah wanted Elia to take advantage of the situation, and Elia could see this clearly. She said, "Mom, let’s not wade into these muddy waters. Look, I don’t have to do any work at the company, there’s food when I come home, and I can buy whatever I want. Why should I compete with them? Isn’t it better that they earn money to support me?"

Elia was quite open-minded; she couldn’t possibly spend all her money in her lifetime, so why did she need inheritance?

But Hannah wasn’t having it, pulling a long face, and seriously questioning, "Do you want to be a parasite for your whole life?"

"What’s wrong with being a parasite? It’s great!" Elia said while serving soup.

Meanwhile, inside Lillian’s car, he drove nonchalantly as Jane Spencer sat beside him with her arms crossed, fuming.

She was waiting for Lillian to give her an explanation, but Lillian said nothing.

Finally, Jane Spencer couldn’t hold it in anymore. She suddenly turned her head, staring straight into Lillian’s eyes, angrily asking, "Lillian, what’s going on? Why did you suddenly cooperate with the Hanson Clan? Are you trying to help Maya against Liam?"

"The Hanson Clan is doing quite well now, not to mention their two new projects that I find interesting." Lillian always had a calm demeanor, and no matter the issue, he always had his own reasons.

"Interesting, huh? Why didn’t you cooperate sooner or later, but after Maya returned? What are you up to?"

"Jane, what do you think my intentions are? I don’t want you fighting over the Spencer matters anymore, besides, you’re more aware than anyone of the Spencer Clan Group’s condition. You’re a woman, not a superwoman. Let Kinsley handle it, alright?"

Lillian knew that saying these things would upset Jane Spencer, but he said them anyway.

To prevent Jane Spencer from exploding with anger, he immediately reached out his right hand, wrapped it around her arm, and pulled her to rest on his shoulder, gently advising, "Wife, why don’t you quit? Be my one and only Jane Spencer, will you? I don’t want to see you keep fighting, besides we should have a child."

Listening to Lillian’s gentle words, Jane Spencer felt warm inside.

In these past two years, Kinsley’s momentum had rapidly risen, forcing her to fight hard, often forgetting that she was already married.

Lillian had also thoroughly understood the Spencer Clan over these two years, and the cooperation was becoming less frequent. He had advised Jane Spencer many times to quit, but she stubbornly refused, clinging tightly to that little bit of power.

Since Kinsley wanted to play big this time, he decided to help push things along, while assisting Maya, allowing Jane Spencer to withdraw when she encountered difficulties.

Jane Spencer leaned on Lillian’s shoulder, looked up, and gently kissed his face, saying, "Maya is also a woman, why are you helping her?"

As Lillian listened to Jane Spencer’s question, he frowned and said, "You’re different from Maya; you have me, Maya has no one."

"Although Aron seems to treat her well, when it comes to business, Maya is insignificant. He will eventually push Maya into the fire pit, and your brother is too overbearing, completely cornering her. Maya can only be stable by becoming strong."

Lillian didn’t tell Jane Spencer his plan to use Kinsley and Aron to suppress Liam. As long as the Hanson Clan Group surpassed the Owen Clan Group, Maya could truly escape being a pawn.

Then, by helping Maya to gain the primary voice in the Hanson Clan Group, her days would be worry-free.

Listening to Lillian’s analysis, Jane Spencer unhappily said, "There’s no need for you to help anyway, she can just leave, who can stop her?"

"She has no financial independence, and whether it’s Aron or Liam wanting her to stay in S City, it’s all too easy."

"In that case, she should just marry my brother."

"Do you think she would be happy with Liam? Why do you think Liam is with her? Don’t you know?" Everyone thought Maya was just Grace’s substitute. Regarding this matter, even if Liam jumped into the Nile River, he couldn’t wash it clean. But he did genuinely like Maya, not Grace’s shadow.

"..." This time, Jane Spencer was speechless, but her heart was still restless.

At this moment, inside another car, Kinsley and Maya said nothing, an extremely awkward atmosphere lingered.

It wasn’t until the car stopped beneath Maya’s apartment building that Maya finally spoke, "Thanks!"

Looking at the girl’s demeanor, Kinsley had words on the tip of his tongue but ultimately remained silent. Watching her back, he advised, "Maya, get some rest."

"Yeah! You should head back soon too." Their exchanges were far less than before.

As Maya walked into the elevator, she sighed heavily, despite the difficulties, the path was chosen by her, and with no way back, she must push forward.

When the elevator reached the entryway, she opened the door, changed her shoes without haste, and walked into the house. As usual, it was very quiet inside.

But when she approached the living room, she was stupefied. Why was Liam in her home? Sitting on her living room sofa?

Immediately, Maya turned around and ran towards the door, as if she had seen a monster.
