"You brought no benefits to this family since you were born. Now you are raising kids on your own. Are you silly?"
"Who is going to marry you when you have to raise a kid on your own?"
Susan was sitting on the floor, crying like a baby.
"You could choose not to marry him or give up the money. But you must give him the kid!" Susan gave her this order after wiping her tears.
"No way!" Maisie declined this ridiculous requirement without hesitation. She would never give up on her son.
Susan was furious at her stubbornness, picking herself up to hit her, "I am going to beat you to death today!"
"That's enough!" Ezra thundered after keeping silent for a while. His roar came as a shock to Susan.
Ezra stood up and said to Susan without emotion, "I could give you money if you want it so much. But you are in no position to tell us how to bring up the kid."
"Touch her again and I will break your arms!" After saying this, Ezra pushed Susan away, making her nearly fall.
Susan was terrified. For one moment the man was thinking about killing her.
"She should have cut ties with you long ago. You never cared about her. You just wanted to take advantage of her."
Ezra said so with a sneering look. "You are unqualified as a mother. For her, you are just a provider of the womb. How dare you ask her to be responsible for you?"
Susan had never been treated in this way. At this moment she couldn't find words to retort.
Ezra stood in front of him, saying with contempt. "How much do you want for stopping bothering your daughter for the rest of her life?"
"What do you mean by that?" Susan was confused.
Ezra stated outright. "It means ending the relationship between you and her."
"What?" Susan has never thought about it.
As far as she could see, there was no such thing as an ending relationship. She gave birth to Maisie. And Maisie was supposed to take care of her for the rest of her life.
"Ezra!" Maisie stopped him to prevent the situation from worsening.
Maisie has thought about like millions of times splitting with her parents, especially when her mother insulted her hard and took the last penny from her.
Especially when she almost missed the opportunity of getting enrolled in college because of her parents. At that time she even considered getting loans or paying her tuition through a part-time job to flee this family.
Especially when her mother came to her office and made a scene in a nasty way. She couldn't contain her grudge anymore and passed out from anger.
But now she came around. She would be in another country very soon and had no need to endure this anymore.
Ezra neglected Maisie's warning and asked. "Is ten million enough for you?"
Susan was startled to hear the amount. Ten million was quite a lot.
Maisie was both embarrassed and upset seeing Susan's reaction. Her mother really considered selling their relationship.
She angrily stared at Ezra. "Are you finished with your nonsense?"
