Chapter 134 - 132 Hang Up Her Call [1 more]
She tried to cover it up but found herself unable to think of a suitable excuse, so she explained with a silly grin, "It’s nothing serious, just had a minor argument with my third brother. He’ll be fine tomorrow."
On the other end of the phone, Jane Spencer said worriedly, "Maya, things might not be as easy as you think, Liam rejected the contract you helped me sign, and Kinsley’s project over there has been terminated."
"Oh! I see! I’ll go find my third brother to talk about it now," Maya Spencer said before hanging up the phone. However, she didn’t take any action. She didn’t care about work matters at all, since the money wouldn’t end up in her pocket anyway.
But immediately after, she couldn’t help but become tense. She suddenly realized that if the project was paused and the contract was rejected, would her mother’s burial be paused by her grandfather as well? Her speculation hadn’t settled when her uncle’s call came through.
Looking at her uncle’s phone number, Maya Spencer felt uneasy all over. Her uncle was in charge of her mother’s burial arrangements, so surely he was calling about that matter.
She cautiously answered the call and asked, "Uncle, is there something going on?"
"Maya, did something happen? I didn’t want to call you, but the old man said to closely watch the project entrusted to you. We were planning your mother’s burial on Saturday, but the old man suddenly said to put it off."
Maya could tell that her uncle was somewhat concerned about her. Making this call wasn’t his idea, it was mostly grandfather’s instructions.
Maya took a deep breath, thinking, these people are truly damn realistic, not giving her any chance to breathe.
