"You seem forced. We don't see any hint of sincerity in your apology." The middle-aged woman mocked. Others could easily tell Erika was forced to make an apology.
Maisie pulled the middle-aged woman and said to Erika, "OK, apology accepted and it's over."
Though knowing nothing about who tamed Mrs. Marshall, Maisie had achieved her aim to teach Erika a lesson.
Hearing these words, the policeman smilingly said, "Since Miss Brennan has shown her mercy, this case is closed."
Considering the order from the management, the policeman asked with concern, "But your overcoat..."
Maisie chuckled, "Never mind. I'll send it to the laundry."
The woman suddenly noticed something and said, "With closer observation, I finally find you're both wearing the same clothes. But you two look totally different. I didn't expect your coats are the same since your coat looks much more expensive than hers."
Mocked by the middle-aged woman in public in this way, Erika stormed out angrily and her mother glared at that woman and then followed.
Maisie and the woman left the police station after expressing their gratitude.
Then Maisie sincerely thanked the woman since, without her help, Maisie could achieve her goal.
"You're welcome. I just could not stand her bullying others." The woman waved her hands. "I should go. My husband needs me in the hospital."
Maisie had intended to come back to the hospital with the woman but she decided to make the woman leave first since she had to tell something to Erika.
Erika and her mother who was waiting for a car frowned at the sight of Maisie.
Maisie stood calmly and stared at Erika. "I have nothing to with Ezra. It seems that you are not in a relationship with him. So we don't need to humiliate each other."
"And, I am not a pushover."
Guessing that Erika just wanted to vent her anger by bullying others, Maisie aimed to warn and threaten Erika, hoping Erika would not bother her after this incident and thought Erika should learn a lesson today.
Then Maisie stopped a taxi and left. Erika was seething with anger and shouted, "Who was behind her back?"
"I can't get any information," looking at Maisie's receding figure sullenly, Mrs. Marshall added. "I will investigate this matter and hope it should not be Ezra."
"Ezra? Impossible," Erika retorted. "He has abandoned her. Look at how dull and bored she is! Ezra would never love her."
Mrs. Marshall didn't answer and thought Erika was too naïve to easily conclude that there was nothing between Maisie and Ezra.
When Maisie returned to the hospital, David was awake and was ready to call Maisie after she left for a long time.
"What's wrong with your coat?" David immediately noticed the stains on her coat.
Maisie took off her coat. "I had a rough time with Erika."
"Erika?" David frowned.
