CHAPTER 253: CHAPTER 251: HE’S SO CHEAP [PART 1]

The man listened to the girl’s reprimands, he squatted down leisurely, lifted his right hand, pinched her chin, and said seriously, "Hartley, don’t throw a tantrum, I don’t buy it."

In fact, he did buy it, he really liked women acting coy and clinging to him, the prerequisite being that the woman was Maya.

Hartley listened to Liam’s warning, feeling wronged, she clenched her fists and demanded, "Why? Why don’t you like me? Am I that annoying?"

"Sorry, the only one I like is Maya."

"Maya doesn’t like you." Hartley yelled at Liam, her patience was reaching its limit.

Watching Hartley’s stubborn pestering, Liam was extremely disdainful, rolled his eyes at her, and walked past her, leaving the ward, heading to Maya’s room.

Just the thought of Hartley’s words, ’Maya doesn’t like you’, made him feel uneasy, he really wanted to ask her what was wrong with him? Why didn’t she like him?

But he wasn’t Hartley; he would never say such words even if it killed him, even though they were stifling him inside.

Standing outside Maya’s room, Liam didn’t enter, he heard Christopher teasing Maya to make her laugh, her laughter was very helpless, she apparently didn’t want to deal with Christopher.

He peeked inside through the door crack, watched Maya’s silhouette without blinking, looked at her and Christopher playing around, he was so envious, just days ago, she would smile at him like that.

Taking a deep breath, he was about to leave when Ella’s voice came from behind, she asked, "Principal, why don’t you go in?"

Ella’s appearance startled Liam, he awkwardly scratched his head and said, "I didn’t plan to go in, have Christopher come to my room."

He said this and then turned to leave, though he really wanted to push open the door and go in, to see her up close, but still held back.

Ella looked at Liam’s back, frowned tightly, and sighed long, thinking, just days ago they seemed perfectly fine, but alas, nothing is predictable.

Inside the ward, after hearing Ella convey the message, Christopher bid farewell to Maya and was the first to leave.

However, Liam had no actual business with him, just a casual chat to send him away.

Liam’s arrogance and Maya’s prejudice led to both of them being in the same hospital, on the same floor, yet without seeing each other.

By the next morning, Liam was discharged from the hospital, Maya stayed until the third day before discharging.

It’s just that when she returned to work at Hanson Clan Group, she was stunned, the project she had been negotiating suddenly collapsed, and the project she had been working on with Kinsley recently was reversed, insisting on kicking Hanson Clan Group out to cooperate with Spencer Clan.

In this way, all her efforts in recent days were in vain.

In the office, looking at the messy work in her hand, she was completely dumbfounded.

Finally, out of desperation, she dialed Lillian’s number.

On the other end of the line, Lillian was very anxious and also somewhat helpless, he said, "Maya, I didn’t expect Liam would rather spend money than destroy your project, given the current situation, Liam wants to ban you, not Hanson Clan Group, next you need to prepare to face the board meeting."

"Then what should I do? How can he be so despicable, the contract I signed, he’s meddling in it, how can Xavier help him with such things?" Maya thought about Liam wanting to ban her, her head was overwhelmed.

The glimpse of hope she saw a few days ago vanished instantly.

"Maya, don’t panic, these things don’t have a great impact on Hanson Clan Group, as long as Aron doesn’t give you real power and doesn’t let you participate in work, he probably won’t make any significant moves." Lillian didn’t tell Maya that Liam had also retaliated against him yesterday, cutting off the Middle East project overnight.

This project was unrelated to Owen Clan Group, but the partner suddenly halted it, and the excuse was actually a lack of liquidity.

Of course, he knew it was just an excuse, the person manipulating this behind the scenes must be Liam, what he didn’t expect was that Liam’s power was far greater than he imagined, and surprisingly had the first say in the Middle East.

Most distressingly, after this uproar, Aron would not possibly transfer shares to Maya, and the shareholders would also disagree, Maya would face immense pressure next.

This confrontation, the biggest beneficiary wasn’t Liam, but Aron, secondly Kinsley.

Liam wanted to sow discord and provoke conflict between Hanson Clan and Spencer Clan, so he transferred all the projects Maya signed to Kinsley, the shareholders of Hanson Clan Group must have significant opinions, full of dissatisfaction towards Maya.

Sure enough, shortly after Maya and Lillian finished their call, the shareholders clamored to hold a board meeting, specifically naming that Maya must attend.

In the office, after receiving the meeting notice, Maya sighed heavily, thinking, this clearly was her dismissal meeting, not a shareholder meeting. Before the hospitalization, she planned to show her skills, yet she was out after one round.

At this moment, she couldn’t think of any strategy, nor dared to complain to her uncle, if her uncle continued to help her, Liam’s next target would be Hanson Clan Group, not just her.

In the conference room, Maya wore big sunglasses, arms crossed, facing everyone’s criticisms calmly.

The meeting mainly focused on her projects from a few days ago, after a round of discussion and comments from everyone, the veteran shareholders began to speak targeting Maya.

"Chairman, I think dismissing Miss Hanson from all positions is the most appropriate, we have invested so much, yet let Spencer Clan Group gain the fortune, the reason behind this might be hard to explain."

"Indeed, just considering Miss Hanson’s relationship with Spencer Clan Group’s second son, we feel she cannot be heavily relied upon."

"Chairman, Miss Hanson and Spencer Family’s second son have an engagement, the cooperation projects from before were originally done together, yet we were kicked out, everyone unanimously believes, there must be a mole in the company who only considers their personal interests, ignoring the company’s interests."

Everyone said this and that, Maya listened with rolling eyes.

Thinking, these old foxes, just days ago when she signed the contracts, everyone praised her to the skies, now that she’s been set up, they each add insult to injury, is there still any humanity left?

Although Maya didn’t like hearing everyone’s remarks, for the greater good, to avoid making her uncle uncomfortable, she took a deep breath, removed the glasses from her nose bridge, solemnly announced, "Chairman, indeed I made a mistake in this cooperation with Spencer Clan Group, I am willing to bear the responsibility, resign from all my positions."

While Maya spoke, Aron kept his eyes fixed on her, after her speech ended, Aron slowly said, "Maya is still too young, initially dealing with company matters, it’s understandable that many things weren’t thoroughly handled, but there’s no denying Maya is indeed capable, and not inferior to anyone present, I believe with proper training, she certainly won’t let everyone down."
