No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 625 - 623: Counter-Espionage Plan [5 Updates]
"Maya, I don’t care. If you don’t help me, I’ll stick to you and won’t leave." Sophia said as she hugged Elia Spencer’s arm, pulling her along, not letting her go.
"Let go of me!" Liam Spencer struggled hard, trying to break free from Sophia.
Liam Spencer, watching on the side, felt a headache. These two girls weren’t really fighting, so he couldn’t intervene physically to persuade them.
As they tugged at each other in the corridor, Sophia suddenly pulled open the buttons on Maya’s clothes and the collar of her dress.
She saw the marks on Maya’s fair skin and was stunned, feeling a bit confused.
Although she had chased quite a few men, her first kiss was only recently given to Christopher Scott, so she was momentarily stunned, not knowing what the marks on Maya’s body were about.
After a moment of daze, when she came to her senses, she immediately raised her right hand, pointed at Maya, and said with amazement as if she had discovered a new world, "Oh... Maya, you and Liam Spencer are really out of line."
Then she quickly ran to Liam, tugged at his collar, and found that he had similar marks on his body too.
Sophia felt tormented, thinking to herself that it was too unfair for these two not to show up today. While she hadn’t even won Christopher over yet, how could they be like this?
So, she pretended to be upset, saying, "No way! No way! I’m going to tell Uncle,
"..." Maya listened to Sophia’s threat, feeling like crying but having no tears.
Besides, in this day and age, when people are together, of course, they’d want to get to know each other before marriage. Maya was getting a headache from Sophia’s antics, not wanting her to loudly announce her and Liam’s private matters, as it would be utterly embarrassing.
Therefore, she quickly grabbed Sophia’s wrist, helplessly asking, "Sophia, what do you really want? I’m genuinely tempted to hit you."
"Hehe! I don’t want much, just that my dear sister and brother-in-law help get Christopher to remove me from his phone’s blacklist and then match us together, and I will pretend like I saw nothing and know nothing." This was Sophia’s barefaced threat.
Listening to Sophia’s threat, Maya was so mad she ground her teeth, thinking how even acknowledging a father came with such a shameless sister?
She bit her lower lip tightly, caught in a dilemma. If she agreed with Sophia, wouldn’t it mean she’d have to pester Christopher shamelessly like Sophia? She couldn’t bring herself to that, and it was for someone else’s feelings, no less.
Liam, seeing this, curled his lips into a cynical smile and said indifferently, "Sophia, I can’t make Christopher take you off his blacklist, nor match you two together; but if you dare spread nonsense, I can make sure Christopher never sees you again in his life. Which do you think is more worth it?"
"..." Sophia looked at the hint of coldness on Liam’s face, listening to his threat, and pouted with grievance.
She initially thought she had grasped something to threaten the two with, not expecting Liam to counter her with a trick and outmaneuver her.
The most annoying part was that Liam, her brother-in-law, didn’t give her any face, leaving her mortifyingly embarrassed.
Consequently, she dejectedly looped her arm through Maya’s and started to wheedle, "Maya, please help me! I haven’t seen Christopher in 11 days, no matter how I call, I can’t get through. Please let him take me off the blacklist, okay?"
Since the hard tactics didn’t work, she had to resort to soft ones.
"I’m not going to tangle with you anymore; I need to go see my dad." Maya, seeing Sophia subdued by Liam, was overjoyed, thinking, only Liam could handle a rogue like Sophia.
In fact, only Liam could deal with someone so incorrigible like her.
When the three returned to the ward, James Bennett was doing some simple exercises by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Hearing Maya and the others’ voices, he immediately turned around, welcoming them with a smile, saying, "You’re here!"
"Uncle!" Sophia unwillingly called out, as if she had suffered a great grievance.
"Dad, feeling better today?" Maya asked with a smile.
"Much better today. I’ve discussed with the doctor to get discharged the day after tomorrow; we can have a family gathering that evening." James, having taken a trip to the edge of life, had achieved Maya’s forgiveness and was in a fantastic mood, wanting to have a family reunion dinner.
"Great!" Maya agreed with a smile, after all, it wouldn’t be her first time dining at James’s house; this time, it was just with the addition of Sophia’s parents, which was no big deal.
Sophia, hearing about the family gathering, frowned, thinking, ’You all are reuniting, but I haven’t reunited.’
She was still single, and continuing to watch Liam and Maya flaunt their affection was going to make her collapse.
Thus, she resolved to secure Christopher and bring him back this time.
So, she cheerfully said, "Uncle, if I bring a friend back, you won’t mind, right? Anyway, he’s going to be part of our family sooner or later."
"..." Maya sweated profusely, thinking, Sophia with no significant progression, dares to make such wild claims. If Christopher didn’t give her face, wouldn’t she just be inviting embarrassment?
"Oh! Sophia, have you secured a boyfriend? Feel free to bring him back so we can see." James seemed a bit surprised at her mentioning bringing someone back for the meal.
He hadn’t expected that Sophia’s antics truly ended up successfully pursuing someone; she indeed had a few tricks up her sleeve.
Therefore, early the next morning, Sophia got up bright and early, got herself all prettied up, and headed to the Scott Clan Group to find Christopher.
During the days James was in a coma, she temporarily put Christopher aside, having not seen him for over ten days, she felt somewhat excited to see him again.
As she drove, she self-consciously chuckled, "It’s been so long since I saw Christopher, I wonder if he missed me? He must feel unaccustomed to me suddenly not chasing him."
Imagining Christopher being very excited and holding her saying he missed her when he sees her later, she almost drooled. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
As for the matter of Christopher not lifting her off the phone blacklist, she just chalked it up to Christopher being too busy and forgetting; after all, Sophia was such a self-deluding girl.
In the Chairman’s office of the Scott Clan Group, Christopher Scott was, as usual, busy with work, completely unaware that his brief tranquil life was about to end, and Sophia was about to clamor around him again.
"Knock, knock, knock..." He had barely arrived at the office when the door was knocked on.
"Please come in!" Christopher said calmly to come in.
Then, the office door was pushed open, and Sophia popped her head in with a bright smile, calling out, "Christopher."
Hearing Sophia suddenly appear, Christopher felt his scalp tingle. He quickly lifted his head, stared at Sophia intently, and even held his breath.
