CHAPTER 356: CHAPTER 354 IN A GOOD MOOD [UPDATE 4]

The call went through, but no one answered on the other end for a long time.

At the desk, Liam Spencer frowned, staring at his phone, thinking, could that guy still be sleeping?

Next, he called the villa to inquire about her situation. Speaking with Maya Spencer was his only relaxation during work.

In the living room, Aunt Smith looked at Liam’s call, cheerfully asking, "Young Master, do you have any orders?"

"Aunt Smith, has Maya gotten up yet? It’s time to call her for lunch."

"Miss left this morning, saying a friend was looking for her."

"Left?"

"Yes! She said she won’t be back for lunch, she’s having lunch with a friend."

"Alright! I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Liam fell into thought, wondering who Maya would go to lunch with? Was it Ella Turner?

Even though he guessed the friend Aunt Smith mentioned was Ella, he still couldn’t help but worry because that girl hadn’t called him to report anything.

He was very concerned about her going out, after all, her leg just healed, so he dialed Maya’s number again.

In Ella Turner’s car, she looked at the phone on the passenger seat, watching Liam Spencer’s name flashing, frightened out of her wits. After she confiscated Maya’s phone earlier, she hadn’t returned it to her.

Seeing Liam’s call at this moment, she felt guilty because, after all, she was the one who lured Maya out of the house.

After the phone rang again, Ella let out a long breath, murmuring, "Don’t call back, don’t call back."

But the phone rang again immediately, and it was still Liam calling.

She pulled the car over to the side of the road, cautiously picked up the phone, staring at the screen, thinking, should she answer?

If she let the phone ring without answering, what if Liam called again? What if he got suspicious? What if he discovered Maya had eloped and immediately went after her?

So, she had to pick up the call, she had to trick Liam, at least stall until Lillian Morris and Maya had transferred, only then let him find out Maya was gone, otherwise, Liam would still have a chance to find out where they went. Since she was helping Maya escape, she might as well trick Liam again, delay time, and make him miss the best time to investigate.

After making up her mind, Ella picked up the call, but before she could speak, she heard Liam’s extremely gentle voice asking, "Where are you, little troublemaker?"

Liam’s voice was very nice, even better when gentle, so much so that it made Ella’s scalp tingle, thinking, indeed a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

She stammered, "Principal, I... I... this is... Ella. Maya went to the restroom, I’m holding her phone."

Listening to Ella’s voice, Liam immediately resumed his usual aloof demeanor, coldly replying with an "Alright" to indicate he heard.

"When Maya comes out, have her call you back. I’ll hang up now." Ella finished speaking and immediately hung up, pressing her right hand to her left chest, holding her heart to prevent it from exploding.

After calming down for a moment, she picked up Maya’s phone and asked, "I’ve lured Maya away, they won’t use me as a scapegoat, will they?"

Thinking of this made Ella’s hair stand on end, wondering why Liam had to be such a freak?

In the CEO’s office, Liam held the phone, always feeling something was off. Ella’s attitude and tone made him feel suspicious, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

After hanging up, he pondered for a moment before returning to work.

Time ticked by, and Liam gradually immersed himself in work, temporarily forgetting about the phone call.

After 15 minutes, his phone suddenly rang, and Liam abruptly lifted his head, suddenly remembering he was still waiting for Maya’s call.

But when he picked up the phone, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed because it wasn’t Maya calling, it was Jane Spencer.

At that moment, he only wanted to speak to Maya, no one else.

At his desk, he squinted at the phone lazily, swiping to answer, and weakly asked, "Sis, what’s up?"

"You at work?" On the other end, Jane’s tone was strange, as if she was smiling, and it was a rather sinister smile.

"Yeah!"

"Your wife has been lured away and you can still calmly work, in a good mood!" Jane’s tone remained relaxed, after all, this didn’t concern her much, she was just watching the drama unfold, adding fuel to the fire.

Hearing Jane’s report, Liam sat up straight, earnestly asking, "Sis, what do you mean?"

On the other side, seeing Liam’s tension, Jane smirked coldly, nonchalantly and slowly said, "Nothing much, just letting you know that Maya has been taken by Lillian Morris, they’ve already boarded the plane."

As soon as Jane finished speaking, Liam was dumbfounded, this news, undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, left his mind blank.

After a moment, he realized why Ella had answered Maya’s phone earlier, why he felt something off with Ella, it turned out Ella was feeling guilty.

"Stunned? If you want to go after them, I can send you the flight details and Maya’s new identity." Thinking about Liam’s face after knowing the truth, Jane felt a sense of satisfaction.

She had waited so long, finally waiting for Lillian to make a move, causing a big stir.

Lillian did not disappoint her, silently plotting big, directly taking Maya away. Luckily, she had been observing Lillian, tracking his movements.

Unfortunately, she was just a step too late, letting them board the plane.

However, she tried her best, now it depended on Liam’s actions, she should have faith in him, believing he wouldn’t let them be together, otherwise, the siblings would be too pitiful.

"Send it to me." After saying this, Liam hung up the phone, abruptly stood up from his chair, and quickly left the office, heading for the airport.

In the car, he gripped the steering wheel with his left hand, his right hand curled into a fist, pressed against his lips.

He didn’t continue calling Maya because he didn’t want to hear Ella’s fabricated excuses again, he’d settle accounts with her after dealing with Lillian and Maya.

Maya’s sudden action shocked Liam, he still couldn’t believe she would elope with Lillian.

His mind was a haze, making this moment feel like a dream, yet he vividly remembered she was still smiling and joking with him yesterday, he couldn’t accept the fact that she left him. He only hoped that when he got to the airport, it would all be a misunderstanding.

But he knew, Jane wouldn’t lie to him, she wouldn’t be that unreliable.

He looked at the road ahead, watching the traffic beside him, gripping the steering wheel tightly, angrily muttering to himself, "Maya, don’t let me get angry."
