Diana and Ruth calmed down a little bit. Then they went to the study to discuss the next plan.
However, before they figured it through, Diana's cell phone rang.
When Diana saw the caller ID, she froze slightly, and then she picked it up with a sneer.
This call was from Ezra. Diana sneered because she felt that Ezra was afraid.
She answered the phone with a relaxed and proud tone, "What's the matter?"
Ezra had returned to the hotel where he stayed in Grafstin at this time. Sitting by the bar, he shook the red wine glass in his hand and said, "Don't do anything to my son! Otherwise, you can't bear the consequences."
"You're afraid now, right?" Diana couldn't help sneering, "You're not afraid of anything, are you? You even look down on your own dad, don't you?"
In the beginning, when Ezra returned to the Cantillo family, Diana didn't pay much attention to him.
She thought that it didn't matter even if Ezra didn't listen to her or didn't take her seriously. As long as he listened to Roman, it was fine, because Diana could tell Roman what he did.
But Ezra turned out to be a rebellious and unscrupulous lunatic! Roman couldn't educate him at all!
So Diana lost many opportunities to seek benefits for herself and her two daughters. Whenever she thought of these, Diana hated Ezra's guts.
Ezra said, "Parents love their children. They will think about their children. Just as you have been planning for your two daughters for so many years, after learning that I have a son myself, I have to think about him too. "
Before Diana said anything, Ezra added, "I'm not in the mood to talk with you more, so I'll be as quick as possible."
Suddenly being talked back by him, Diana gnashed her teeth in anger.
He wasn't in the mood to talk with her? Was she in the mood to talk to such a bastard? Diana felt ashamed to talk to such an illegitimate bastard!
"I'm calling you today, not because I'm afraid, but want to warn you. Don't have any dirty thoughts. Even if my dad is gone, I won't mistreat you and your daughters." Ezra said. Then he sneered again, "Otherwise... the consequences will be more tragic than you can imagine."
Just the fact that Roman had an affair with Mrs. Marshall could make Diana collapse.
"Are you threatening me?" Diana was so angry that she was shivering.
"Yes." Ezra didn't deny it at all, and even gave Diana some advice, "You really should stop."
"You wish!" Diana shouted hysterically, "As long as I live for a single day, I won't let you have a good life!"
"Since you have to do this, don't blame me for not reminding you." Ezra hung up the phone after saying this.
Diana was so angry that she almost smashed her phone. Fortunately, Ruth stopped her.
The veins on Diana's forehead popped out. "He dared to threaten me? He dared to warn me? Who does he think he is?"
"He's just a bastard born from that skank!" Diana scolded fiercely. Even though Ezra had told her that his mother didn't like Roman at all, Diana still believed Ezra's mother was playing hard to get.
"He is clearly afraid. Now we know his weakness." Ruth said after helping Diana to sit down.
After Diana sat down, she calmed down a bit. Ruth was right. If Ezra didn't care about this child, he didn't have to go to Grafstin in person, and he didn't need to make this phone call to threaten her.
Because of her gratitude, Maisie once swore that she would work hard to run the branch well, and she would work diligently for Julian and the Hughes Group until she had to retire.
It just didn't occur to her that change always went beyond plans. The exposure of the child disrupted all her plans.
Julian comforted her, "You don't have to worry about this. I can re-hire Daniel back."
Daniel Wynne was the previous branch manager. He had already returned home to enjoy his life after Maisie came to Grafstin to take over the branch. It was the best plan that Daniel came back to take over all these temporarily. After all, Daniel had just retired, so he should be familiar with many things.
Julian added, "If you have a good place abroad to go, contact them as soon as possible, in case something happens."
Julian was even clearer about the things about the Cantillo family. He also agreed with Maisie taking the child to leave here.
Not long after Maisie ended the call with Julian, she received a call from Emelia. It must be Julian who told her about the exposure of the child.
"Maisie, are you okay?" Emelia was very worried about Maisie.
Maisie comforted her, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
"They will know it sooner or later." Maisie was relieved now. She didn't mind Ezra knowing about the child, but his proposal of getting married made her a little anxious.
Ezra was willing to marry a woman whom he didn't love for the sake of the child, but Maisie didn't want to wrong herself and marry a man who didn't love her.
Maisie didn't have to get married. Wasn't it enough to get hurt in the relationship once?
