Chapter 850 Maisie's Bottom Line
Chapter 850 Maisie's Bottom Line
When Maisie found that Ezra had finally left, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Currently, Daisy, her son and she were eating at the restaurant in the hotel. But she did not decide to
take her son back home, even though Ezra had left. Since they had already checked in, she thought it
was good to let her son stay in a different environment.
When the meal was almost finished, David called her and said that he had returned to Riverside City.
David added, "I sent Mom to the bus first and then I left. I just had a video call with her and she is
already at home, so you don't have to worry that she will trouble you later."
"OK," Maisie answered.
"She insisted on giving me a seventy-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-dollar check. I didn't take it," David
said. "I wanted to take it back and return it to Ezra. But then I thought since it is the money to buy out
your relationship, why not just let her keep it. Otherwise, she would complain that she doesn't have that
money in her hands and rely on you shamelessly later."
"The money owed to Ezra… I will pay it back together with you." David sounded resolute.
Maisie refused, "David, you are about to have a family. Keep your money for your own business. I can
handle it."
"How can you handle such a large sum of debt? You also have to raise Ezio!" David was distressed
and anxious.
"It's okay. Ezra said that he took the money as his expenses to raise his son. When I go abroad and
stay there, I will earn money as soon as possible to pay him back." Maisie was not worried about this
huge sum of money; she believed that if she worked hard, she would repay it.
Maisie had lived in poverty almost all her life since she was a child. But she had managed to earn a
good income every time through her efforts and hard work.
David wanted to say something else, but Maisie comforted him, "David, it is long before repaying. We'll
talk about it later."
"Okay." David could only respond in this way, but in his heart, he vowed to help Maisie pay the debt.
David did not want Maisie to keep owing Ezra's favor. "What if that shameless guy threatens Maisie
with the debt?" David worried. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
What David did not expect was that his mother could go back to Grafstin again, even if he sent his
mother to the bus in person and witnessed that she was at home in the video.
Maisie's mother went home with satisfaction at first. Upon her arrival, she showed off the check to
Maisie's father and told him that Ezra would give the other seventy hundred and fifty thousand dollars
later.
The two were very content with the result and planned to retire on the money.
However, in the evening, Maisie's mother received a phone call from Ruth Cantillo. Of course, the
caller was not Ruth herself, but someone who seemed to have nothing to do with her. The caller Ruth
found egged Maisie's mother on stealing the baby out.
The caller said on the phone, "As long as you can get Maisie's son out, we will give you another sum of
money. As for the amount, you can get as much as you want."
"I can get as much as I want?" The words were beckoning Maisie's mother. Besides, she was much
bolder after having Ezra's money.
Nothing would satisfy human greed; Maisie's mother was a good example of it at this moment.
Normally, the 1.5 million dollars Ezra promised were enough for her to enjoy an easy life; after all, she
was a poor woman, living in a disadvantaged family. However, she was not satisfied with it and wanted
more instead.
"I'm sure you all know that Ezra Cantillo gave me 1.5 million dollars. Therefore, I shall not contact my
daughter anymore. You guys are making it difficult for me." Maisie's mother was affectedly
embarrassed at first.
The caller gritted her teeth and said over the phone, "Then we'll pay 1.5 million dollars, too."
Maisie's mother was dissatisfied. "No way! I risked offending Ezra to work for you, and you would just
give me 1.5 million. Insincere!
"And Ezra said that the other seventy hundred and fifty thousand dollars depends on my performance.
If I approach my daughter as you wish, he will definitely not pay me the rest of the money. You have to
compensate me."
Maisie's mother ripped the caller off. "Two and a quarter million dollars. Even one cent less is
unacceptable."
The caller was exasperated by Maisie's mother and rebuked her, "Too greedy! Aren't you afraid you
won't be able to spend all the money?"
A vulgar woman was talking about millions of dollars. Is her life worth all the money?
"You don't have to worry about whether I am able to spend it or not! Just tell me whether you will give it
to me!" Maisie's mother began to make a scene.
If she was not able to enjoy it, she could leave it to her son David.
"Okay, we'll. But we can only pay a third of it first. And the rest we will give you when you hand over
Maisie's son to us." The caller said over the phone with teeth gritted.
"No problem," Maisie's mother agreed right away. "Then, when I receive your money, I'll go to Grafstin.
"But I have a problem. With Ezra in Grafstin, I cannot do it." Maisie's mother was wise sometimes.
The caller snorted coldly, "Don't worry. He has already left there. Your son has also gone back to
Riverside City. Everything's ready. Whether you can do it is only up to you."
Once Maisie's mother heard that Ezra had left, she became confident. "Then I'm sure I will succeed.
Just get the money ready."
She had plenty of ways to deal with her daughter.
For so many years, she had Maisie in her hands. Every time she was making a scene, her daughter
would comply with her on everything.
"Let's wait until you get it done." After saying the words, the caller hung up the phone.
In a moment, Maisie's mother received seventy hundred and fifty thousand dollars on her account. She
looked at the number in glee over and over again. However, she did not realize that she was going to
steal Maisie's son this time, Maisie's bottom line.
In Maisie's mother's opinion, since her silly daughter did not want to marry Ezra, there was no need to
raise Ezra's son.
That she went to take that child away was helping her daughter to be free.
After Ezra flew to the branch and rejoined his assistant, he went to the manager's house first.
The police also investigated this case, and they found that the manager had swallowed pills to commit
suicide and there was no sign of homicide.
Ezra did not believe these words. When he and his assistant had just arrived at the manager's home,
the manager's daughter seized him in tears, "Mr. Cantillo, I don't believe my father would commit
suicide. There must be something we don't know."
Ezra raised his eyebrows and listened to the little girl. She cried, "After finding my father, my mother did
not want to call the police. I insisted on calling the police. I think there's something wrong.
"Although my father was seriously ill, I know he really wanted to live. He said he wanted to see me get
good grades in the college entrance exams, get into my ideal university, get married, and have children
later. He believed that he would live one day at a time. So, he did not want to die at all!"
"Someone must have abetted your father, or threatened him," Ezra said with certainty.
The little girl's eyes were red and puffy from crying. "Please. Find out the murderer. Please."
Ezra could feel that there must be a deep bond between the little girl and her father. Thus, he
comforted her, "What you have to do now is to calm down and prepare well for the exams, so that you
won't let your father down."
