Secret Crush

Chapter 248 Expectation For The Result

After a moment of silence, Max smiled, "Leila, are you afraid?" The man's tone was full of disdain and ridicule. "You are the stupidest woman I have ever seen!"

The man hung up the phone fiercely. It was not that he didn't want to talk to her. But since Max knew that the content of their conversation has been monitored, he hung up the phone ruthlessly.

Leila was a little depressed when the phone was hung up by Max. She took a few deep breaths to comfort herself, but her heart ached for no reason. Was she so worthless in his heart?

The man seemed to have understood Leila's thoughts and couldn't help saying, "Do you know what is the chip this time? It is the whole Mu Group, and also the whole fortune of Max. Thus it's forgivable that your man won't save you!"

Leila's eyes twinkled. She didn't expect that Spencer would be so exorbitant in asking for Mu Group. "Then you can just throw me into the sea to feed sharks!"

The man looked at Leila in surprise. This woman was not afraid of death!

After hearing about the chip this time, Leila admitted that she was a little disappointed, but Max was a proud man. She couldn't let him lose everything for her, or she would feel guilty, uneasy and unable to eat and sleep!

When Spencer showed up, he looked at Leila coldly and clapped his hands. "You're really my future sister-in-law. You're not afraid to die. Okay, I'll tell my elder brother, and then throw you into the sea to feed sharks!"

"As the saying goes, a man who is unjust is doomed to die. Spencer, don't do bad things to me!"

"Don't worry. My elder brother won't leave you alone. I can see that he really likes you. Although he didn't come to save you in the first place, he didn't give up on you at the first time. I guess my elder

brother will be at a loss between you and the company. Why don't you make a decision for him?"

Max tapped his fingers on the table now and then. Although Robert had everything prepared and asked Max to fight without any hesitation, yet Max was still a little worried. After all, the chip was Leila.

His heart sank for no reason. If it were in the past, Max wouldn't have gambled all his fortune for a woman, but now he didn't think so much about it. When he heard what Spencer had offered, he almost agreed with everything, because that woman was Leila. He didn't know when Leila became the only woman that was important to him, and he even wanted to take everything away from him in exchange for that woman's safety.

This thought even frightened himself.

An excited smile appeared at the corners of the mouth of Spencer. He stood at the door and looked at Max. Recently, Spencer has paid close attention to Max. Although Max was trying to hide his restlessness and anxiety, Spencer could see that Max cared about that woman very much.

In the past, when Spencer negotiated terms with Max, Spencer was often rejected coldly by Max before he could speak. This time, Spencer deliberately gave Max three-day time to consider it. Instead of giving Max another chance, Spencer was trying to buy time for himself. Max has always been decisive in doing things, and now that he did not reject it at that time, it meant that Spencer still had a chance.

"I didn't expect that the CEO of the Mu Group wasn't focusing on his work. Are you thinking about how to save my future sister-in-law?"

The man's exaltation made Max's face gloomy. Regardless of his current mood, Max was extremely unhappy just because of the confident look and tone of Spencer. "Why? Can't I have the time to be tired?"

"Are you tired or worried? I have a good news and a bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Max glared at Spencer with his gloomy eyes. "If you have words to say, say it quickly!"

Sure enough, the anxiety of the Max exposed his mind. Max was still worried about Leila, so this time the choice of Spencer was right, and Leila was his trump card now.

They looked at each other for a while. Then Spencer whistled and said, "My future sister-in-law let me tell you to get rid of her. She wanted me to throw her into the sea to feed sharks."

"How dare you!"

Hearing that, Max glared at Spencer with a darkened face. Max could get rid of him right now, but what about Leila? Where could he find Leila if Spencer was not there?

Spencer raised his eyebrows. The more angry Max was, the more Max cared about Leila. The plan of Spencer would definitely work in the end. "So I'm telling you, do you want me to listen to my future sister-in-law? But I really admire her courage to sacrifice herself. And you don't have to worry about the Mu Group anymore."

Max picked up a book and smashed it on Spencer. "Get out of here!"

Spencer smiled silently. "Even if you don't want to give the Mu Group to me, you can't do this to me. After all, I am your younger brother."

The loud whistle of Spencer came from the hallway. Max banged the table angrily, "Leila, do you have a brain? This fucking stupid woman! I didn't say I won't save her, but she was desperate to die! Has she ever considered my feelings?"

The lonely figure of the man reflected in front of the French window. After thinking for a long time, Max dialed the number of Robert. Max didn't expect that Leila could not stand a threat. Was not she forcing him to give in?

Robert appeared behind Max. Max’s tall figure looked a little lonely. Robert knew Max had been troubled by the matter of Leila these days, not to mention that Spencer was constantly reminding by his side. Max was in a very bad mood. He turned around and looked at Robert coldly, "Have you done?"

Robert nodded and then handed the other sealing document to the man. "Once he takes action, we can pass it to the senior Mr. Mu. This time, it will be difficult for him to turn over."

A trace of slyness flashed across Max's cold eyes. He thought that if he could really get rid of the trouble of Spencer this time, what Leila had suffered would be worth it.

The dull iron door of the dark warehouse rang again. Every time when Leila heard the sound, she knew that there must be someone coming. The people didn't go out here, for others would send the meals. Her body stiffened when she heard the familiar voice of Spencer.

As the footsteps got closer, Leila knew that Spencer was walking towards her. She surely understood what they meant. If Max wouldn't come to her rescue, she would be damned. Thinking of this, Leila wasn't so scared any more.

"How dare you treat my future sister-in-law like this?" Spencer exclaimed. Then he laughed and looked at the somewhat morbid face of Leila. "My elder brother said if you want to die, go far away. Don't drag him!"

A sneer appeared on Leila's lips. Everyone in the world was the same, even including Max. "Okay, what are you waiting for? Throw me into the sea to feed the sharks. I can't wait anymore!"

The woman said firmly, and then closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate. Spencer dazed for a moment. He did not expect that this woman was not afraid of death. If Spencer really threw her into the sea to feed sharks, he would be tortured by Max if Max knew it. On the other hand, Spencer had a good impression on Leila. This woman was not delicate and artificial, and she was absolutely different from other women. Thus Spencer was reluctant to kill her.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was heroic, Spencer could not help but raise the corners of his mouth. "Don't you have anything to say before you die? Or do you have something to say to my elder brother?"

Leila opened her eyes and thought for a while. Although she was a little scared, she didn't want to think too much when things have come to this. The only thing she was worried about was her mother. The man in front of her didn’t look serious. Thus Leila thought what even if she said something, it may still be useless. Finally Leila looked up at Spencer and said, "I want to make a call."

Hearing that, Spencer raised his eyebrows. It seemed that everything was under his control. At the moment, he only wanted to speed up. Now Spencer could not help but feel a little doubted due to the silence of Max. This man was so unpredictable that Spencer had no choice but take advantage of Leila.

Spencer took out his phone and handed it to Leila. His eyes were full of expectation.

Leila took out the phone and dialed the familiar number. She hadn't seen him since they parted in the coffee shop last time, and she didn't expect that they could be apart forever that time. She dialed the number of Charles with trembling finger. It was a long time before someone answered the phone. "Hello?"

Leila held the phone in surprise, "Charles, it's me, Leila!"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

When Charles heard Leila, his voice was even filled with joy. "Leila, how are you doing recently?"

Leila didn't have the time to say anything to Charles now. She held back her anxiety and said, "Charles, don't say anything. Let me finish my words."

Leila didn't care about anybody or anything in the world. The only thing that worried her was her mother. She asked Charles to visit her mother more often and pay for the medical expenses of her mother. She said that Johnson had paid for only one year, and the rest needs the help of Charles.

Charles felt that Leila was speaking to him in a strange way. "Leila, what's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing that the patience in the eyes of Spencer has been completely exhausted, Leila anxiously said on the phone, "I'm all right. Charles, take care of yourself!"

There was coldness in his eyes. Spencer thought Leila would call Max for help at this time, but he didn't expect her to call another man. This was not his purpose. He didn't want to give her this chance.

"I expected that you would call my elder brother at the last minute, but I didn't expect that you were still thinking about your old lover. What if my elder brother knew about it?"

Leila's eyes twinkled. How could she care about Max when she was almost dying? "What he thinks has nothing to do with me!"

Spencer burst into laughter. This woman really surprised him, yet he couldn’t wait to present this to Max. Spencer wondered how Max would react after knowing this.
