Tris got angry and told them not to look down on her because she was poor. If they don’t bring their daughter, who is currently with them, then she won’t release their daughter, who is also with her. The Andersons agreed and told her they would bring Maya to her soon. They just wanted to leave with Maria. But Tris still said no. So the Andersons left with a promise of coming back.

Returning to Paris, they discussed the entire issue and how they would break the news to Maya. When they got to Maya’s room. She only said, “ I guess it’s time for me to leave, she said . They realized she had packed her things already. An angry Mrs. Anderson asked Agnes what had happened when she left with her husband. Agnes explained to her, she told her that Jake was the one who broke the news to Maya and the entire school. Mrs. Anderson was mad, but she knew Maya would find out the truth either way. They explained everything to Agnes and told her to gently deliver the news to the kids. When she told Jake Maya was leaving, he was overjoyed. He told Agnes he could help Maya pack her stuff if needed. Agnes just shook her head and asked what kind of man Jake would be. He was already a pain in the neck at this point in his life. He’ll do worse when he grows up. She said. When she broke the news to Maya, she wasn’t overwhelmed; she was expecting it anyway. She took a deep breath and asked Agnes when she would be leaving. Agnes told her in a week. Maya said that in that case , she was not going to school anymore. She was going to use that time to prepare herself and embrace reality. Agnes was shocked by how a 10-year-old could have such a deep understanding and thinking. She looked at Maya, and tears ran down her face. “ I will miss you, Maya, “ Agnes said. “I’ll miss your sweet and kind nature, promise me you won’t change, and promise me you’ll come visit me when you grow up a bit, “ Agnes added. “ I will,” Maya said. “And I won’t forget you and everything you’ve done for me, “Maya added as she hugged Agnes tightly. Deep down in her heart, Agnes knew Maya would become a good adult. She just hoped that her new home would treat her right.

One week passed like a second, and it was time for her to leave. Agnes helped her pack her things and kissed her goodbye. “Now go and be a good girl to your mom “. Agnes said. Jake just stood at the top of the building, watching Maya pack her things and prepare to leave. He never said goodbye to her. He just watched her leave. And then he turned back and went to his room and slept.

Maya and her parents never said a word to each other throughout the journey from Paris to New York. She was happy to see Maya when they got to her birth mother’s residence. She hugged her and took her inside. She took all Maya’s belongings and kept them in Maria’s room. Then she took whatever belonged to Maria and handed them over to the Andersons. The Andersons said their goodbyes to Maya and left with Maria. Maria, who didn’t know what was happening, kept quiet and followed the Andersons to her, so far as she was leaving that poor home. She was okay.

Tris called Maya and told her that she knew she came from a rich home and that staying here was the opposite of what she had. But she should endure it because things were going to be better. The Andersons didn’t give money or anything to be used to cater for her or pay any bills. Tris told Maya that she knew Maya had many valuable items that they could sell for some cash. But she’s not going to take anything from her. She’s not going to touch any of her clothes. Tris told Maya that her dad had traveled to seek greener pastures, and she hadn’t heard from him. But she knows he’ll come back home soon. It’s just a matter of time. Maya nodded and told Trus she was grateful for taking her in and agreeing to show her love. Just then, Tris’s firstborn, Malvin, walked into the room. When Malvin set eyes on her, he asked his mother if that was the princess who was promised to her. Her real child, Tris, realized the resemblance between Maya and Melvin. Tris was happy that she didn’t lose her child because of poverty.

The next day, Tris took Maya to the registry and changed her name from Maya Anderson to Mayla Smith.

Meanwhile, back at home. Jake is introduced to his new sister, Maria, whose name was changed to Maria Anderson. Maria, unlike Maya, was arrogant and a pain in the neck. She was worse than Jake, so she and Jake never got along. Jake tried countless times to make friends with Maria. But it all proved futile. It was then that he started missing Maya. He began to regret mistreating her. He asked his parents if Maya would ever return, and they said no. They told him Maria was his actual sister, so he had to accept it and move on.At school, everyone discovered that Maya had left and that Maria was Jake’s real sister. Because of her behavior and how mean she was. Everyone in the school started to hate Jake and Maria. They wished Maya were still around. The teachers and the students missed Maya so much, but they couldn’t do anything about it.
