Chapter 464 Man of the House

+ Pearls

Ellis had already said she’d asked Easton for help, so Maya stayed quiet, waiting for Easton to keep talking. She wanted to hear what he thought about Jane trying to buy her off with money, and what kind of follow–up solution he might offer

“At least…” Easton glanced thoughtfully at Maya’s stomach. “50 million?”

“What if the Monash family thinks I’m asking for too much? What then?” Maya couldn’t even imagine being handed 50 million just like that. If she actually asked for that much, the Monash family would probably call the police on her.

Ellis turned her head to look at Easton, frowning and glaring. Tasked you to take care of it, not sit here spouting nonsense! What good does it do telling us? You should be saying this to the Monash family!”

“We need to be on the same page so I can handle the Monash family properly.” Easton picked up a throw pillow and stuffed it into Ellis‘ arms, a subtle way of reminding her to take her anger out on the pillow instead of him.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Ellis said and tossed the pillow aside. “Easton, are you messing around? If you’re not serious- about helping, just say so instead of acting all mysterious.”

No one begged Easton for help–it was something he offered on his own. So if he was going to help, he needed to actually be helpful instead of throwing out unrealistic suggestions.

There was a huge difference between the Monash family offering money on their own and Maya asking them for it. The former could already be seen as a setup for an extortion charge, but the latter would basically be handing them the evidence to accuse her outright.

What kind of terrible plan was Easton even suggesting?

Meeting her furious glare, Easton calmly explained, “Maya doesn’t have to ask for anything. Ill have someone else bring it up on her behalf. That way, there’s no risk involved.”

“Even if I don’t ask directly, 50 million. Maya quickly calculated, “That’s still way too much.”

Then how much do you want?”

“Ten million is enough”

“Ten million isn’t even enough to buy a decent house,” Easton said. “How about this? Take the ten million first, and sign an agreement with the Monash family that they’ll deposit a fixed amountinto your account every month until the child turns. eighteen.”

“That money doesn’t need to come from the Monash family. I originally planned to talk to Cameron about monthly child support Maya thought it over and decided to stick with accepting only the ten million. She wouldn’t take a penny more.

“Fine.” Easton pulled out his phone. Tll have my legal team handle it.”

While Easton spoke to someone on the phone, Ellis drifted off a bit, not really paying attention to what he was saying.

Maya listened more carefully. With a powerhouse legal team behind Easton, she was confident he could help her avoid any legal traps. That meant she could safely take the money and raise her child without any strings attached.

When the call ended, Easton immediately turned to Ellis, who clearly wasn’t focused on him. “Don’t worry. It’ll all be taken care of today. The Monash family won’t dare mess with Maya again.”

“Oh. Ellis replied half–heartedly.

Her tone was so dismissive, and there e wasn’t a trace of gratitude. Maya was used to it and didn’t think her best friend was doing anything wrong.

Easton didn’t seem to mind either, so why should she?

With a hint of sincerity. Maya said, “Thank you, Mr. Hudson, for helping out.”

“I was just asking”

“Stop right there. I’ve known you long enough to see right through you.”

Easton pressed his lips together and pretended he hadn’t said anything

Truthfully, he wasn’t just asking” He wanted to know how long Maya was staying because if the stayed too long ind make it harder for him to move in.

Sensing the growing tension, Maya stood up. “You two talk. I’m going to rest in my room
