No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 421 - 419 Probing Elijah Reed [4th Update]
Regarding the false evidence, Liam Spencer did not tell Elijah Reed, since he knew who was behind it, he chose not to make a fuss.
On the sofa, Ella Turner watched Elijah Reed enthusiastically help her open the bag and serve the food. Her eyes were fixed on him; she always wanted to read more from his gaze.
However, it made Elijah Reed feel embarrassed. He quickly placed the bowl and chopsticks on the coffee table and said with an awkward smile, "You do it yourself."
Only then did Ella Turner coolly ask, "Assistant Reed, have you eaten?"
"Yes, I’ve already eaten." In truth, he hadn’t. Concerned for Ella Turner, he forgot to eat at the restaurant, only bought one night’s meal and came over.
Ella Turner looked at the man’s shy appearance, leaned forward slightly, holding the photo album on the coffee table with both hands, handing it to Elijah Reed, and said, "Okay! I’ll eat first. If you have nothing to do, you can look at the photos of me and my brother. These were taken after we went to college in S City. There’s childhood photos at home, which I didn’t bring."
"Okay!" Elijah Reed nodded and took the album.
He didn’t realize that Ella Turner had a purpose in showing him the album.
She wanted him to see how happy Ethan Turner was when he was alive, wanted him to realize the steadfastness and fragility of life, hoped he would have a conscience and stop being Liam Spencer’s accomplice, hiding the truth of her brother’s murder. She hoped he would step forward and help her testify against Liam Spencer, bringing that monster to justice.
Thus, Ella Turner sat on the sofa, eating the midnight snack Elijah Reed brought, while staring at him.
She wanted to see panic and guilt in his eyes but only saw regret.
She thought Elijah Reed was hiding deeply, concealing his emotions, not letting her see.
So she immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, sat beside Elijah Reed, pointed at the photo in the album, and said: "This is a photo taken when I first came to college. I met Maya in the second semester of freshman year. At that time, the three of us always went to the cafeteria together, rode bicycles together. My brother always treated Maya as his real sister."
When Ella Turner mentioned the words "real sister," she deliberately emphasized her tone, hinting to Elijah Reed that there was no other desire between Maya and her brother.
She was playing a psychological game with Elijah Reed, wanting to use emotional cards to awaken his conscience, hoping he would face the car accident of her brother and tell her the truth.
She was asking indirectly because she knew Elijah Reed would not confess to her.
"If Ethan Turner were still here, it would be great." However, Elijah Reed innocently sighed, not detecting the underlying meaning of Ella Turner’s words.
Ella Turner saw his unchanged expression, feeling somewhat disappointed, turned her head, stared at him for a while without speaking further.
"Ella Turner, don’t worry, the BOSS will find the perpetrator." Elijah Reed saw the girl’s resolute gaze and threw her a clue, letting her know that they all believe the car accident wasn’t man-made, and as for the truth, it’s only a matter of time.
Ella Turner looked at Elijah Reed’s earnest manner and suddenly wanted to laugh. She found it ironic how well Elijah Reed could act.
If she hadn’t known the truth early on, she might have been deceived by his acting.
Even so, she didn’t expose Elijah Reed directly but coldly said, "Yes, I also believe the perpetrator will be found, will be brought to justice, no matter how powerful and influential they are, the truth will surely come out."
"Okay, just eat your meal! I’ll look through the photos myself." Elijah Reed completely missed the hidden meaning in Ella Turner’s words and continued flipping through the album, pondering life’s fragility.
Half an hour later, Elijah Reed finished looking through the album, and Ella Turner also finished her dinner.
Only then did Elijah Reed stand up from the sofa, say goodbye to Ella Turner, and left Ethan Turner’s apartment.
Inside the apartment, after sending Elijah Reed off, Ella Turner leaned weakly against the door, slowly sliding to the ground, scratching her hair and muttering to herself, "Brother, what should I do? How can I avenge you."
These days, she had been pondering how to avenge her brother, but things weren’t as simple as she thought. Attacking Liam Spencer wasn’t an easy task, and he wasn’t even her match.
Thinking about her powerlessness, she suddenly smashed her phone on the ground, yelling loudly to express her anger.
Then she sat on the ground, mumbling to herself, "Liam Spencer, I won’t let you off, I will make you pay blood for blood."
As she muttered, the phone she had thrown on the ground suddenly rang. She heard the ringtone and immediately crawled over, quickly grabbed the phone, and found it was Maya calling.
At this moment, Maya had already left Charlotte Owen’s villa and was on the way home with Liam Spencer.
After Ella Turner answered the call, she heard Maya’s caring voice: "Ella, have you had dinner?"
Hearing Maya’s gentle voice, Ella Turner immediately returned to her usual calm and spoke peacefully: "I have eaten, Elijah Reed just came and brought dinner."
"Okay! It’s too late today, I won’t come to accompany you, I’ll come during the day tomorrow, you rest early."
"Maya, that..." Whenever Ella Turner thought of Maya still being by Liam Spencer’s side, she felt an inexplicable sense of fear, worrying about Maya.
But to avoid arousing Maya’s suspicion, she swallowed the words she was about to say.
On the other end, hearing Ella Turner’s hesitant manner, Maya promptly said, "I’ll come and stay with you now."
"No need, I just wanted to tell you to rest early, and also, the police have concluded that the evidence is fake." Ella Turner quickly interrupted Maya, preventing her from coming to accompany her.
She was worried her unstable emotions would arouse Maya’s suspicion, so she wasn’t very keen on seeing Maya.
Moreover, keeping Maya by Liam Spencer’s side made it easier to get close to Liam Spencer and avenge her brother, so during this time, she wouldn’t persuade Maya to leave Liam Spencer but rather quickly come up with a way to avenge and then take Maya away.
However, hearing Ella Turner’s awkward voice, Maya thought she was embarrassed due to the misunderstanding about Liam Spencer, so she didn’t probe further. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
They chatted for a bit before hanging up the phone.
After they hung up, Maya smiled and hugged Liam Spencer’s arm, saying, "The police have cleared up that the evidence in Ella’s hands is fake."
Liam Spencer heard Maya’s explanation, rubbed her head with his right hand, then pulled her closer, kissing her cheek, his heart not relaxed.
He looked at Maya’s sweet smile, hoping she’d always smile so happily, but he was also troubled, not knowing when would be appropriate to present the real evidence.
He also understood that even if the police cleared him of the accusation, Ella would not easily believe, that girl was surely pondering how to take Maya away from him or seek revenge on him.
