Chapter 332: Chapter 330: Equal Distribution of Favor [5 Updates]
So, on Thursday morning at 7 o’clock, she was woken up by someone, changed her clothes, and went to the resort with him.
In the car, Maya Spencer kept her eyes closed to rest and didn’t acknowledge Liam Spencer. Thinking about meeting Jane Spencer and Lillian Morris soon, she felt inexplicably anxious yet couldn’t escape it.
In the driver’s seat, Liam Spencer looked at the girl’s tightly furrowed brows, took a deep breath, glanced at her, and held her hand tightly as if transferring energy to her.
"Liam Spencer, can I not go?" Maya Spencer suddenly opened her eyes and pleaded bitterly. This time, she was truly embarrassed.
"No." Liam Spencer turned to the girl and responded earnestly.
Maya Spencer looked at Liam Spencer’s firm refusal, frowned, pouted her small mouth, and had an expression full of helplessness on her face.
She realized that her skin was getting thinner and thinner. Wasn’t it just seeing the Spencers? What was there to fear? Just close her eyes and brace herself, and it would be over, right? But every time she thought of Lillian Morris, she got anxious.
Beside her, Liam Spencer watched the girl’s nervousness and involuntarily swallowed, being very concerned about Maya Spencer’s absent-mindedness, but he was also reluctant to get angry at her.
By the time they arrived at the resort, Old Master Spencer was already there, as well as Christopher Scott, Henry Reid, and others. The attendees of the dinner party were from a few families close to Liam Spencer; it was just a gathering of friends, not a business meeting.
In the banquet hall, as soon as Maya Spencer and Liam Spencer entered, Christopher Scott greeted them, so the two headed towards him first.
As Maya Spencer approached, Christopher Scott scrutinized her several times and said with concern, "My dear, it’s cold today, and you’re dressed so lightly. Aren’t you cold?"
Maya Spencer listened to Christopher Scott’s question, smiled at him, and said, "Not cold."
However, her eyes were constantly searching for Jane Spencer and Lillian Morris, hoping to avoid encountering them to prevent Sister Jane Spencer from having an unstable mood and taking it out on her.
Liam Spencer observed her absent-minded demeanor, lifted his right hand to place it on her waist, gave a light pinch, and reminded her, "Don’t let your mind wander."
At this moment, Christopher Scott leaned close to Maya Spencer with a mischievous smile and said, "My dear, have you noticed that there are particularly many beautiful women today? Let me give you a tip: your Aunt Charlotte has recently made some big moves, chosen a lot of beauties for Liam, and brought in all the ones from the Owen Clan Group. These ladies today were also invited by her, so make sure to keep a close eye on Liam."
Liam Spencer listened to Christopher Scott’s advice to Maya Spencer, rolled his eyes at him indifferently, and suddenly said, "You just talk too much."
"How can I monopolize someone as outstanding as Liam? Naturally, he has to share his charm with the beauties!" As for these beauties at the scene, Maya Spencer didn’t care at all.
If someone could really steal Liam Spencer away from her side, she’d be delighted!
"Liam Spencer, it’s been a long time!" Just as Maya Spencer finished speaking, a beautiful woman came up to say hello.
Liam Spencer glanced at the woman but didn’t recall ever meeting her.
Maya Spencer took one look at the woman in front of her and then glanced at Charlotte Owen not far away, who was observing the situation here.
At this moment, Maya Spencer slightly raised the corners of her mouth, giving Charlotte Owen a sly smile, as if provoking her, yet also seemingly thanking her.
Charlotte Owen looked at the meaningful smile on Maya Spencer’s face and rolled her eyes at her coldly, seemingly warning her not to be complacent.
Beside them, Christopher Scott watched the two exchanging glances, stroked his chin, and said, "My dear, you aren’t even afraid of Aunt Charlotte. It seems I should introduce you to my mom first. This way, her impression of Seven will definitely improve."
"I’d be happy to help with that." Maya Spencer was internally restless, wishing for more distractions to keep herself from fixating on Lillian Morris.
In the past, Maya Spencer wouldn’t have focused so much on Lillian Morris, but after the Morris Clan Group incident and the divorce proceedings, she couldn’t help but be aware of Lillian Morris.
As for the recent gossip, Maya Spencer knew in her heart that Lillian Morris was just giving Jane Spencer a way out and also trying to protect her, so he made fun of himself.
This kind of Lillian Morris made Maya Spencer feel even guiltier, making her feel that she owed him more.
At this moment, at the entrance of the banquet hall, Jane Spencer and Lillian Morris arrived together, and the moment she saw Lillian Morris, Maya Spencer immediately held her breath, her eyes fixed on him.
The last time she saw Lillian Morris was in his office, which was about a month ago. She didn’t expect that in just a month, Lillian Morris’s career had not only declined, but his family had also fallen apart, all because of her. Thinking of this, Maya Spencer felt exceptionally troubled but didn’t dare to go forward to comfort him.
Liam Spencer noted the girl’s distraction, swallowed, and leaned toward her ear to remind her quietly, "Maya Spencer, do you remember what you promised me?"
"I remember." Hearing the man’s reminder, Maya Spencer responded unhurriedly. She had promised Liam Spencer that she wouldn’t have any ties with Lillian Morris.
"Liam Spencer, don’t you remember me? We sat together back in high school." The girl, feeling ignored, awkwardly reminded Liam Spencer again. She thought that since Charlotte Owen had finally picked her to participate in this private family gathering, she must succeed and not lose to others.
Liam Spencer, listening to the girl’s reminder, took a deep breath, turned around, and gave her a cold glance, filled with disdain, as if annoyed that she disturbed him.
The girl, seeing Liam Spencer’s sharp gaze, felt disappointed and angrily looked at Maya Spencer, blaming her for Liam’s lack of attention toward her.
Maya Spencer saw the girl’s reproachful eyes, her mouth slightly twitching, thinking that Charlotte Owen was really something, picking pawns worse than the last one. Compared to Hartley Shaw, the gap was still ten Lydia Joneses away. And looking at her outfit, revealing in the front... revealing in the back, this is just a family banquet! Dressed so exaggeratedly, she might as well not wear anything and give everyone a benefit.
The more the girl hated her, the more Maya Spencer wanted to provoke her, so she looked at Liam Spencer, grinning as she said, "Liam Spencer, someone’s talking to you! Don’t you recognize this lovely lady?"
"Liam Spencer, President Owen mentioned that your chess skills are outstanding. We’re playing chess over there; would you mind giving us some pointers?"
"Liam Spencer, please have a look for us!"
Maya Spencer hadn’t finished handling her former desk mate before Charlotte Owen initiated a second wave of attack, surrounding Liam Spencer with a group of beauties, pushing her away from Liam Spencer’s side.
"Damn, seriously? My chess skills are pretty good too, why isn’t anyone asking me?" Christopher Scott, looking at Liam Spencer’s good fortune, felt indignant, thinking, Maya Spencer just mentioned sharing the love evenly, yet Liam Spencer’s got it all. This Aunt Charlotte is really unfair; there were six of them men who came together, and she only had eyes for Liam Spencer—were they invisible? At least offer some benefits too!
Maya Spencer looked at the women surrounding Liam Spencer, hands on her hips, unable to help but laugh and cry at Charlotte Owen’s naivety. What were these women about? Was she casting a wide net?
Regarding Charlotte Owen’s strategy, Maya Spencer was utterly impressed, finding it completely incomprehensible. At her age, how could she still naively think Liam Spencer could be plucked from the crowd to replace her?
"Maya!" Just as Maya Spencer was about to make a move, suddenly a man called out to her from behind.
