Chapter 144: Chapter 142: Not Avoiding You [Part 1]
"Why?" This news was undoubtedly good news, but Maya Spencer was still curious why she suddenly didn’t need to worry about this matter.
"I’ve talked to your grandfather, and he’s agreed to let your mother be buried in the Hanson Family Mausoleum, so you don’t have to do anything for the Spencers anymore. Come back! I’ll pick you up." The man’s voice was obviously tired, as if he had also been through a great struggle to achieve today’s result.
Listening to her mother being able to be buried in the Hanson Family Mausoleum, Maya’s eyes turned red immediately, her mother finally had a home.
Then, she carefully asked, "Grandfather’s letting me come home?"
"Now, it’s me who calls the shots in the Hanson Family. If I say you can come back, you can come back." The man answered firmly, and she could feel he was feeling sorry for her.
For a moment, Maya was stunned by the very quick turn of events, too fast for her to digest. Overnight, she had no more worries, but she suddenly felt empty inside.
Returning to the Hanson Family would undoubtedly bring enormous changes to her life, but the true cause of her mother’s death had not been discovered yet, how could she leave?
Moreover, she had not settled the score with Liam Spencer yet. How could she let him off so easily?
She considered for a moment before saying, "Uncle, I can’t go back now, give me some time, I need to sort out my thoughts."
The man listened to Maya’s excuse, and said very seriously, "Maya, I’m currently on the way to bring your mother back, and as for your mother’s cause of death, come back and we’ll investigate together, there’s no need for you to stay with the Spencers, there are many things you shouldn’t have to bear, it was my fault for not knowing your situation before."
Maya listened to the man’s words and laughed coldly, saying, "Whether or not I should have borne it, I still did, I can’t just leave so easily, don’t worry uncle! With you as my support, I have nothing to fear, after a few days, come pick me up and I’ll go back with you."
After saying this, Maya hung up the phone. After enduring for so long, for the first time she felt refreshed, sitting on the carpet in front of the sofa, she suddenly laughed, her laugh eerie, thinking it was time for her to strike back.
Now she wanted to see what the Spencers could still use to threaten him, and as for Liam Spencer, bullying her for so long, did he think he could do whatever he wanted without paying a price?
After laughing, Maya dialed Elijah Reed’s number and in a sobbing voice asked him, "Elijah, is the third brother avoiding me? Why did he leave suddenly?"
On the other end, Elijah listened to Maya’s broken voice and cautiously said, "Miss, it’s a misunderstanding, this cooperation is truly important, the BOSS values it greatly, so he went on a business trip himself, and the competition is quite fierce, nothing must go wrong, the BOSS is not avoiding you."
"He’s really not avoiding me?"
"He’s really not avoiding you, and the Spencer Clan Group is also competing in this project, don’t overthink it, when the BOSS comes back, he will solve any problems for you."
"Mm-hmm! I believe you, Elijah." Maya said this and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Maya laughed coldly, thinking, "Very important? So Liam does have things he cares about, projects that make him anxious. In that case, I’ll give him a hand and help him get knocked out of the game."
Then, she took a shower in the bathroom, changed her clothes, left his apartment, and returned to the Spencer home.
In the living room, Maya’s return left everyone stunned. They thought this Little Demon had settled in with Liam Spencer and wouldn’t come back, but here she was. However, what’s the meaning of her return? What about the contract? The project? What now?
Hannah looked her up and down several times, couldn’t help laughing coldly, and said with sourness, "Oh! Who is this? Miss, really looking like a proper lady, all dressed in limited editions! Seems like you’re getting along well with your third brother."
Faced with Hannah’s provocation, Maya didn’t take it seriously, thinking, "Let you be smug for a couple of days and see what you can stir up."
So she gave her a light glance and walked toward her own room, staying inside for a whole day, not even coming out for lunch.
It wasn’t until Jane Spencer came back in the evening, knocked on her door, and called her out for dinner that she finally came out.
At the dining table, Maya kept her head down, saying not a word, eating three bowls of rice in one go, making Hannah and Elia Spencer dumbfounded, thinking, "Did she have nothing to eat while staying with Liam Spencer? Why does she eat like a released prisoner?"
Jane Spencer looked at Maya, who had stayed silent, suddenly feeling a bit awkward, unsure of how to bring up the topic of the contract with her.
Today, Mr. Hanson took her mother back to the Hanson Family, which meant the Spencers could no longer pinch her soft spot, allowing her to refuse anyone’s request. The duck in the pot had flown away, and Jane Spencer naturally felt uneasy.
Finally, she steeled herself, put down her chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Maya, your mother may not be buried back in the Spencer Family Mausoleum."
"Mm! My uncle took her back." Maya said unhurriedly.
On the opposite side of the table, hearing this, Hannah finally relaxed, thinking that her position as the second wife was secured, and if that Mr. Hanson took this Little Demon back, it would be perfect.
But the next second, she became worried again, only then realizing that whether or not Maya stayed with the Spencers didn’t really matter, it was just buying her a few clothes and a set of cutlery, and she wasn’t at all threatening to the division of the family assets.
Only now did Hannah realize that her year-long torment of Maya had been in vain, and instead, she had offended her.
She turned her head and glanced at Jane Spencer, thinking that this cunning woman might have guessed that this day would come for the Little Demon, so she was always trying to win her over, hoping to use the Hanson family’s influence in the future.
She thought for a moment and then decided it wasn’t possible; old Michael Spencer would never cooperate with the Hanson Family. Forget it! Forget it! After all, what’s done is done, there’s nothing she can do about it.
Then she heard Jane Spencer ask, "Maya, does your uncle really call the shots for the Hanson Family now?"
"Mm!"
"Maya, if your uncle were to take you back, big sister would be reluctant."
"Big sister, even if my uncle takes me back, you’re still my big sister, I won’t forget you, in the Spencer Family, you’re the one who’s been the best to me." Who wouldn’t know how to flatter.
"But if Maya leaves, there’ll be no one to watch over the Owen Clan’s work for big sister." Finally, Jane Spencer got to the point.
"Big sister, don’t worry! Third brother said that when he returns from his business trip, he’ll settle this matter, and second brother’s project will succeed too, no need to worry." Maya promised confidently.
"Oh! Quite capable, huh! Dare to promise at the table, do you?" Hannah looked at Maya’s smug little face, feeling displeasure becoming a habit.
Listening to Hannah’s sarcasm, Maya felt disgusted for a moment, wishing she could throw up all the food she’d eaten just now.
So she immediately covered her mouth, feigning indifference, stood up from her chair, and said, "I’m full, going back to my room first."
