Chapter 432 You’re One of Them Now
“That’s nonsense!” Maya cried indignantly. “I do a body check-up every year, and I don’t have any terminal illnesses! You need to stop alarming others with your lies!”
“Do you think I’m trying to scare others away by lying?” Claude sneered. “I don’t have the spare time to do such things. Forget it. I only reminded you about it because I didn’t want to see a young woman like you dying at such an early age. Well, since you don’t believe me, then you can continue to delay treatment. You’re the one who’s going to die, not me.” After he finished speaking, he took a long look at Maya before heaving a huge sigh. “Ahh!” He shook his head in pity.
Initially, Maya had been firm with her words. However, after witnessing his actions, she couldn’t help but take a gulp as she felt uneasy. Her gaze hovered around her surroundings for a while before she noticed Elise. Then, she stuck her chin high as she snapped back into reality. “You got someone to scare me on purpose, didn’t you, Elise? I know what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to scare me off so that you can stay with Alexander! You can continue dreaming!” Maya cried fiercely. “You’re the one who ruined the Griffith Family. You’re the reason they went bankrupt, and you’re the reason their family fell apart! You’re a curse to them!”
“Maya!” Alexander had been silent for a while, but right then, he let out a fierce growl. His words were as sharp as daggers. “You’re not welcome here. Get lost immediately.”
“How could you? Why are you doing this?” Maya was hurt. “I’m here to help you. How could you do this to me?”
“You asked for it,” Alexander replied as he turned to Cameron. “Why aren’t you doing anything?”
“I got it!” Cameron gave Alexander a respectful nod before he strode over and pointed Maya to the exit. “Please leave now, Miss Dahlen!”
“You must be out of your mind!” Maya was fuming as she gave Elise a hateful glare. “You witch! You evil woman! I’m not going to let you ruin his life!”
“Cameron!” Alexander shouted in an urgent tone. Cameron’s expression darkened as he reached forward and grabbed onto Maya’s arm. Both Maya and her assistant were frail women, and neither of them had the strength to resist Cameron’s strong tugs as he dragged them out toward the exit. They tripped over their own feet as they made their way out.
“Wait a second,” Elise called out before they left the house. Cameron’s footsteps came to a halt, but his grip remained firm on Maya’s arms—she couldn’t wriggle her way out at all. Elise took large strides toward Maya. She narrowed her gorgeous eyes to give Maya a dangerous and sinister glare. “What did you call me earlier? You called me an evil woman, didn’t you?”
Maya tried to fling Cameron’s arm away, but she gave up when she realized how futile her efforts were. Instead, she turned around to stare right into Elise’s face. “That’s right. You’re an evil, cunning lady! Anyone who gets involved with you will eventually end up in a horrible mess!”
Elise shut her eyes and pressed her hand against her face to wipe off the saliva that came out of Maya’s mouth as she spoke. There was a hint of disdain in Elise’s eyes as she gazed at Maya. When Elise lowered her hand, there was already a thin needle between her fingers.
“Hold on tight, Cameron!” Elise ordered. Cameron froze for a moment before he used his other arm to press Maya down firmly. Right then, Elise raised her hand to show Maya the shining needle between her fingers. She waved it around in front of Maya’s face.
Maya felt a chill running down her spine as the light reflected off the needle and struck her eyes. She turned her head sideways to keep a distance from the needle. “What are you trying to do?!”
