Susan was indeed a little afraid because she did not expect Maisie would really punish her. Susan went weak on the limbs at the sight of Ezra's lawyer. She didn't want to go to jail.
After they left, Susan used her phone to contact the mastermind for help and said Maisie would sue her after the plan failed
The mastermind refused to offer any help with contempt since Susan failed to carry out the plan.
Furious, Susan decided to disclose the mastermind's identity and then asked a policeman to call back Maisie.
Since Maisie agreed to the deal, Maisie exposed the mastermind's phone number and bank account used to remit money.
Noticing Maisie recorded all things, Susan asked, "Now that I've told you everything, will you let me go?”
"Hurry up and make them take these handcuffs off me. I am very uncomfortable.”
Susan shook her handcuffed hands toward Maisie and couldn't wait to leave her.
Maisie put away her phone and suddenly became serious. "Take your handcuffs off? Not a chance.”
Maisie hated her mother when she thought of the terrible scar on her son's forehead.
Though Susan was her mother, Maisie could not forgive Susan after she hurt her son.
Susan stared at her in surprise and said in disbelief, "What do you mean?”
Maisie answered contemptuously and mockingly, "What do I mean? I won't keep my promise to you.”
These words rendered Susan almost faint out of anger. And she could not believe her daughter would treat her in this way.
"Why are you angry? You have always taught me to break promises.” Maisie sneered. "You were paid to break up with me. But now you say we are still related. You didn't keep your words. So how could I keep my promise?”
"Lawyers and judges decide what you should pay for what you did. As a law-abiding citizen, I will accept the verdict.”
Knowing her daughter would not forgive her, Susan was furious. But Maisie had left.
Susan stomped angrily and shouted, "Stop. How dare you? How could you treat your mother ruthlessly? You forgot I raised you all those years.”
Susan babbled and was ignored by all policemen who knew her personality.
Ezra did not walk Maisie in but stood at the door of the police station to talk with the lawyer about some details.
After sending Susan to the police station, Ben seized the chance to gain more experience since he would work as a policeman in the future. When Maisie came out, she met Ben and the latter asked with concern, "Maisie, did she make any trouble for you?”
"No.” Maisie shook her head and suddenly staggered feeling dizzy. Ben immediately held her, which was noticed by Ezra.
Maisie wondered why Ezra behaved in this way and thought it was impolite for him to vent his anger in public.
Ignoring Ezra, a mercurial and unreasonable man, Maisie calmly talked to Ben, "Thank you so much for your help today. I think you're tired. You can go home early.”
Ben smilingly nodded in response. Maisie walked to her car and didn't ask Ezra to follow her.
Ezra turned sullen because he was ignored by her and even mocked by Ben who suddenly showed up.
At this time, Ben folded his arms and gloated to remind him, "Ezra, you don't chase up?”
"If you don't run after her, you're not going to catch up with her.” Ben's words were full of meaning.
Ezra glared at him and gritted his teeth. "I will teach you a lesson one day.”
Then, Ezra wanted to quickly send Maisie home.
On the way, Ezra was getting angrier at the thought that Maisie ignored him.
He jerked the car over to the side of the road where parking was available, took off his seat belt, and approached the woman in the passenger seat.
