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?!”
“What do you think I’m doing?” Elise raised an eyebrow. “An evil woman has to act in ways to live up to her title, don’t you think?
You were the one who said that the people I’m involved with always end up in a mess. Well, you’re one of them now. I can’t leave
you out, can I?”
“What logic is that?!” Maya shrank her neck to stay away from the needle. “I’m not related to you. Why are you getting me
involved in this?”
“Why aren’t you related?” Elise pressed the tip of the needle against Maya’s neck before she gently traced her skin with it.
“Alexander’s mine and you’re in love with my man. That’s how we’re related, aren’t we?” With that said, Elise stabbed the slim
needle into Maya’s skin in one swift motion.
Maya hissed in pain when she felt the needle poking into her trapezius muscle. She instinctively tilted her head to the left to stay
away from the needle. However, when she tried to return her head to her original position, she realized that her entire neck had
become stiff. She couldn’t move at all. “What have you done to me?!” Maya widened her round eyes in shock as she stared at
Elise.
Elise curled her lips into an eerie smile. “Well, I love killing my enemies with kindness. Didn’t you hear what that handsome man
said? He told you that you have a terminal illness. I simply helped you treat it.”

Claude’s ears twitched before he pointed at himself. “Handsome man? Did she just call me a handsome man? Hahaha! Did you
guys hear that? Father said that I’m a handsome man!” he cried excitedly.
Maya wasn’t in the mood to care about anything else, and she eyed Elise suspiciously. “Are you that kind?”
“No.” Elise wiped the smile off her face. “You keep calling me a witch and an evil woman, so why should I be kind to you? You
actually have a terminal illness now. Are you finally satisfied? Are you happy now?”
Am I happy? I’m practically in tears! Maya thought. However, she tried her best to calm herself down. It’s just a needle. She
might have just done some tricks to get my muscles to tense up. If I break down in tears now, I will become a source of
entertainment for Elise and the rest of these people.
Therefore, Maya gritted her teeth and stared at Elise calmly. “That’s fine. I don’t care what you just did. I’m rich enough to receive
any treatment I want—that’s how I’m different from you. You’re just an unwanted orphan with no parents, Elise. As long as I
leave this place alive, I’ll make sure to end you someday!”
“An unwanted orphan?!” Jeanie couldn’t stop herself from charging over when she heard what Maya said. “You’re the
disrespectful and unwanted child here!” she cried as she gave Maya a slap.
Maya stumbled as a result of Jeanie’s powerful slap, and a look of disbelief filled Maya’s face immediately after that. By the time
Maya returned to her senses and looked at Jeanie, Jeanie was already shouting at her. “Elise isn’t an orphan. She’s a biological
child of the Anderson Family, and she’s our precious little daughter. Who are you to cause such havoc here?!”
“That’s right.” Trevor had disliked Maya from the moment he laid eyes on her. If it wasn’t because he didn’t hit women, he would
have probably broken all the bones in her body. “You’re from the Dahlen Family, right? Go home and tell your father to pack up
and leave. The Dahlen Family is dead meat!”
