No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 472 - 470: Is There Anything Else? [2 Updates]
However, this time, Seven did not go looking for anyone.
In the office, Christopher Scott held his phone, flipping through Seven’s number back and forth several times, finally gritting his teeth and dialing.
After the call went through, it rang for 25 seconds before Seven answered.
On the other end, Seven’s voice was as calm as always, not as forceful as when she first came back. She asked peacefully, "Christopher, is there anything?"
Just like that night, she continued to call him Christopher, not putting on a sarcastic unfamiliarity.
Hearing Seven call his name, Christopher felt a pang in his heart. He suddenly understood that when Seven called him President Scott and Young Master Scott, it was because she was dissatisfied with him, intentionally distancing herself and making him angry.
This call of Christopher seemed to make him no longer special, no longer making her deliberately use an unfriendly attitude to interact with him.
At this moment, Christopher finally realized the seriousness of the situation, his heart suddenly sinking to the bottom, cold, icy cold.
He tried his best to adjust his emotions, trying to appear normal, saying very calmly, "Seven, do you have time? Come to the company for a bit, the proposal you submitted last time, I’ve sorted it out for you."
Christopher had completely put down his airs. He wanted to see her, wanted to explain the misunderstanding from seven years ago, wanted to tell her that he missed her.
At this moment, Christopher regretted deeply, if he had known this would happen today, when Seven boarded the plane to leave, he would have chased after her, he would have kept her, instead of playing it cool waiting for her to come back and find him.
Back then, he was too young and arrogant, too confident, he thought Seven liked him so much, she wouldn’t leave him, but unexpectedly, her resolute heart also made him see her in a new light.
He just hoped that this time his turning back was not too late, that she would give him a chance.
On the other end, hearing Christopher’s drastically different attitude, Seven smiled helplessly, thinking that Liam Spencer had lectured Christopher, which was why he called her.
However, her mind was made up, unwilling to be tormented further.
Therefore, she smiled calmly and said, "No need, thank you, Christopher."
Even if it was Liam’s words that made Christopher reach out to her, Seven still politely thanked him. This thank you represented that she had completely let go of the past, whether it’s feelings or career, she let go.
On this end, Christopher was dumbfounded. He had thought Seven would be surprised, then enthusiastically agree, but he hadn’t calculated that this time he was still late.
At this moment, Christopher suddenly recalled Liam’s warning to not go too far, yet he indeed went too far.
Seeing Christopher not responding for a long time, Seven nonchalantly asked, "Christopher, do you have anything else? If not, I’ll hang up."
Seven’s voice penetrated his ears again, and Christopher came to his senses, pretending to be calm and saying, "Nothing, nothing!"
As soon as his words fell, Seven uttered an "um" and ended the call. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Christopher looked at the already disconnected call, let out a long sigh, and raised his right hand to rub his eyes, indicating his frustration.
On the other side, Madam Murray saw that Seven had finished the call and pulled her, saying, "Seven, the press conference is about to start."
"Mm!" Seven nodded, supporting Madam Murray as they entered the event venue from backstage.
This press conference was hastily organized by Seven, primarily to announce the bankruptcy of the Murray Clan and then to offer the Murray Clan’s office building to friends in the industry.
Initially, Ella had suggested Seven to rent out the office building, becoming a landlady, but unfortunately, the company still had some scattered debts to deal with, and she also needed startup capital for her studio, so she decided to sell the building and set up her studio in her apartment instead of renting elsewhere.
Although selling the building left her with a large sum, Seven remained frugal, cautiously investing, wanting to save money and use it wisely.
As soon as Seven’s press conference started, the business circle in S City exploded. Recently, everyone saw Seven bouncing around rebuilding relationships, but suddenly she announced bankruptcy, even selling her father’s building. But truth be told, their building’s location was excellent, so everyone watched, preparing to make a move.
At the same time, Christopher’s phone was instantly bombarded with calls. Liam Spencer, Xavier Graham, Hudson Moore, and others watched the live press conference, each questioning Christopher.
On the other end, Liam Spencer was almost in tears of anger at Christopher’s stupidity, furiously asking, "Christopher, did water get into your brain? You just had to show off, pushing Seven to announce bankruptcy and sell the building?"
Christopher had just finished the call with Seven and was in no mood to watch the news. Being scolded by Liam, he was completely bewildered.
He was stunned for a long time, not knowing where to begin explaining, and Liam couldn’t be bothered to waste time with him, so he slammed down the phone.
After the call was hung up, Christopher immediately searched for news, just in time for the end of the press conference.
However, when he dialed Seven’s number again, her call was already redirected to the voicemail.
Instantly, Christopher slumped helplessly in his chair, as if lifeless, thinking, "It’s over, it’s over, he and Seven are really finished this time."
He should have discovered something was wrong long ago, that night when Seven called his name, he should have realized, but although he sensed something strange, he was like a wooden fish, without any reaction.
...
In Liam Spencer’s villa, Maya Spencer was shocked when she saw the news.
These past few days, she was deeply absorbed in her uncle’s case and hadn’t cared about Seven. She didn’t expect that in just two short days, Seven announced the company’s bankruptcy.
She immediately grabbed her phone to call Seven, but like Chris, she couldn’t get through.
Initially, she wanted to call Christopher to inquire, but considering that Liam and the others were probably looking for him, she decided not to join the chaos.
Maya threw her phone on the sofa, shaking her head slightly, pondering, "So many troubles at once."
Ever since returning to S City, Maya hadn’t had a few peaceful days. Whenever things seemed to be going well, a major event would come crashing down on her.
However, the only solace was that she endured them, at least during these days, she didn’t suffer from depression.
In the evening, when Liam returned home, Maya was still pondering over her uncle’s evidence, looking for some trick.
Seeing this, Liam immediately pulled the documents from her hand, leaned over, got close to her small face, looked straight into her eyes, and said seriously, "Maya, you’ve been looking at these things for days."
"I want to find some flaws and clues."
"Maya, trust me, leave it to me." Liam only told Maya to trust him, not going into more details, not telling her about the trap he set to lure the culprit.
