The very mention of Ezra's father would make Emelia quite angry.
Luckily, this time Maisie and her child were both safe. Otherwise, maybe Ezra's father would spend his rest life in regret. After all, he was keen to see his son to have a child.
Julian didn't say anything anymore. Then, Ezra called him again.
Julian answered the call angrily and heard Ezra said frustratedly from the other side, "Actually, I came to see her only to have a dinner with her. I just wanted to know how she's doing now. I had no idea my father would do this."
Julian sneered, "Since you couldn't make her happy, why would you have to care about her?"
Ezra remained silent for a second before he said in a low voice, "It's my fault. But I couldn't reach her. So, I want to beg you to apologize to her for me and I won't meet her anymore."
Julian still said coldly, "I won't do that for you, but I also want you to remember the last words you said."
Now, knowing that Maisie was pregnant and she didn't want Ezra and the Cantillo's to know the existence of the child, Julian didn't want Ezra to meet her anymore.
Fortunately, Maisie had been pregnant for only one or two months and she wore a lot due to the cold weather. Therefore, Ezra didn't find that she was pregnant.
But if he came to meet her for a second and a third time, he would certainly know the truth.
"I promise that I won't meet her again," Ezra said instantly.
It had never occurred to him that he would be seized by a whim and rush to Grafstin.
Then he asked her out for dinner and she didn't decline.
During the dinner, they acted as if they had never been in a romantic relationship before.
Maisie was Julian's former secretary and Ezra was good friend of Julian's, they had had dinner together before. And when Julian got some business to do, they would have a dinner together just they two alone.
After the meal, Maisie went back to her company and he flight back to Riverside City.
On his flight, the moment he closed his eyes, what appeared his mind's eyes was Maisie's face, her thin eyebrows, her piercing eyes.
But what he failed to know was what his father did to Maisie after he left.
After he hung up the phone, his face turned dark and scary all of a sudden.
He bit her lips before he took out the key of his car and drove it to his father's mansion.
Then he went to the study without informing anyone.
He knew inside the study there was an invaluable vase owned by his father, Roman Cantillo.
When Roman came to the study with the help of his wife, Diana Rhodes, he could just hear the sound of the vase breaking on the ground.
His father's figure shook heavily and but for Diana who supported him nearby, he would have collapsed onto the ground.
Ezra had broken the vase which his father favored the most. Roman didn't know he was irritated by his behavior or by the breaking of his vase.
He pointed at Ezra with his shaking finger and said, "What the fuck are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" Ezra sneered while turning around to seek other things that could be broken. Then he saw on the desk the pen container, which was also an invaluable antique.
But now as Ezra said that he had a lot of loved women, the peace between Diana and he was broken. Diana stood up beside the desk with a dark face. She patted her creased clothes and left her with the door closed behind her violently.
Roman took a deep breath and said, "I did it for you, Ezra. How could she, a woman from backcountry, be qualified to marry into our family? What could she bring to you?"
"I know she is competent. But how could she be compared with those girls with a distinguished background?"
Ezra didn't want to talk anymore with his father, who was preoccupied with the idea that his company could be strengthened through a marriage. But Ezra didn't want to rely on anyone else to run his company.
What Canuli Corp had achieved today could all be attributed to his efforts these years.
"You want me to get married, don't you? You want me to give you a grandchild, right?" Ezra said directly, "I inform you here that I won't do as you wish."
"If you like someone's daughter, please leave her to yourself. Maybe she could give birth to another son of you and then you don't have to rely on me to inherit your property."
"You..." Ezra's father coughed heavily after hearing his words.
Ezra continued, "You used my mother to threaten me to get back. Now you want to give me another threat?"
"Then sorry, father. I'm not what I am years ago. I won't let you to control my life."
Then he bent a bit to get closer to his father, "Don't play tricks to me anymore. Otherwise, I will take a vasoligation. Then you won't have any grandchild anymore!"
Roman trembled all over. He was so enraged by Ezra's words that he passed out.
Ezra simply ignored him and left quickly.
