The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System-Chapter 20 - Hiden Feelings

Liam couldn’t help but pull up his trouser leg, showing his ankle, hoping to divert the mosquito’s attention towards himself.

But he wasn’t of the blood type that attracted mosquitoes.

Maureen noticed Liam’s gaze.

Without stopping her pen, she tilted her head, gave him a glance, and asked,

“What’s up?”

Caught off-guard, Liam quickly averted his gaze, casually stretched and started to clean up the food containers saying,

“Finished eating.

It’s almost ten o’clock, when are you going back to the dormitory building?”

After finishing, he glanced at Niel.

Niel instantly understood,

“Ah, these things are too heavy.

We are, after all, boys, let us help you carry them.”

Liam reluctantly replied, with a hint of reluctance,

“Alright, I’ll help.”

As they spoke, he casually tossed his cell phone to one side.

Liam’s phone screen lit up.

Drake’s Whatsapp message lingered on the screen, all others along with his responses had been deleted, leaving only the remark

“Only Demon is the one to inherit all the family’s assets.”

His eyes lifted subtly, glancing at Maureen.

“Let’s go back now.”

Maureen stood up to pack her things, but as soon as she stood up, her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Liam’s whatsapp conversation on his screen.

Startled, she froze on the spot.

“What’s the matter?” Liam seemed completely oblivious that his phone screen was still lit.

Maureen quickly averted her gaze.

“Nothing.”

But her mind was whirling in shock— Did she just inadvertently stumble upon a piece of explosive news?!

Was this what Liam was seriously discussing in his messages?!

Maureen had initially planned to piggyback on Demon and Drake once they arrived at school.

But it looks like she needs to steer clear of Williams Demon now.

There’s no point in offending Liam – who could offer six times more – over a mere 2%.

As for the family properties, they had nothing to do with her.

These wealthy young masters weren’t going to share a dime with her.

Caught between two sides, Maureen made up her mind in a flash.

She’d stay as far from Demon as possible in the future, lest she displeases the biggest benefactor, Liam, and he no longer lets her hang around.

“Then, let’s go.” Maureen suddenly noticed that Liam’s left hand seemed to have been scratched by something.

He had been covering it with his long sleeve, so she hadn’t seen it until now.

Because he was cleaning up the takeout boxes, the wound was now exposed.

Perhaps because of Liam’s exceptionally fair complexion, the crimson blood stain on the wound looked rather deep.

“Wait for me a moment, I have something to do,” Maureen said urgently.

She felt as if a light bulb had just turned on in her mind.

How many points would she gain if she went to buy a band-aid for this Liam?

With that, she grabbed her backpack and dashed out of the library.

The convenience store at the school entrance was a considerable distance away, but she estimated that a round trip would take about ten minutes.

“What’s with her?” Niel looked at Maureen’s receding figure, his face full of confusion.

”

Liam put away his mobile phone, his expression quite grim.

“We’ll wait.”

Liam pulled out a chair and sat down again.

This time, he felt a sense of low pressure enveloping him.

As time passed, Niel felt his mood become more and more oppressive.

After seemingly an eternity, Niel couldn’t help but check his watch.

“Liam, you don’t think she’s too embarrassed to accept all these things and just left, do you?”

Liam thought to himself.

She did leave, but it wasn’t because of all these things.

Visibly irritated, he grabbed his phone, stood up, and donned his coat haphazardly.

As he did, his face became so twisted it looked like he could wring water from it.

He looked slightly listless.

“Forget it.

Let’s go.”

He had considered that Maureen might be unable to resist the temptation and that her attitude towards him might subtly change after seeing the news.

He was mentally prepared.

But he never imagined that she would be so direct, so very direct, and just leave?!

Damn, she was so decisive!

Should he say, true to the form of her?!

She wasn’t after his money.

Oh, so it turned out like many others waiting in line, she was after the status of his inheritor.

Inside, Liam felt much worse than the last time he thought she was after his money.

RIt felt like he had been stabbed.

He shouldn’t have tested her.

The moment she ran towards him at first, he should have grabbed the back of her collar and thrown her out.

Liam and Niel walked out of the library.

Liam threw the takeaway box into the trash can with a clatter.

Niel, pushing his suitcase, asked,

“Are you going home tonight?” Liam ignored him, dejectedly walking down the steps.

Niel didn’t know what had happened in that brief moment, he could only follow along.

But as Liam was descending step by step, his gaze suddenly froze, and his pace also stopped abruptly.

Maureen was running up the stairs.

Running towards him.
