About fifteen minutes later, Maisie came out with a piece of sheet.
She decided to let Daisy take care of Ezio and then handed the paper to Ezra.
"These are some terms | drew, including premarital and post-marital.” She explained.
Ezra was resentful at her word "terms" and almost got mad after reading the paper.
He discontinued reading after noticing the word divorce. It stated that they shall get a divorce right after Ezra obtained his
rightful inheritance and took revenge on Diana.
Ezra was pissed off.
And Maisie, who should be blamed for his anger, innocently asked, "What?"
Maisie mistakenly took his anger as dissatisfaction, "| can modify the terms that were unacceptable to you.”
Ezra gritted his teeth and tried really hard to contain his anger.
He tore the paper until it became pieces.
The sudden move of Ezra came as a shock to Maisie. Only one thing bore in her mind: what an unreasonable man he was!
Ezra discarded the pieces into the trash can. He turned to corner Maisie, saying in a fierce tone, “Wasn't it a bit too rushing
to say divorce before we haven't gotten married?"
Maisie frowned. She wondered where his indignation came from.
But she explained patiently, "| assumed that we were well aware of the fake nature of this marriage. The purpose was to
take revenge on Diana. And | was to clarify it in the car but you interrupted me.”
Actually, the kisses interrupted her.
Maisie added, "| would like to declare it before it is too late. And if you have problems with this fake marriage, we can
conceal it.”
"No need to conceal it. | accept.” Ezra gave her a fake smile.
Maisie doubted if he really approved it because it didn't seem like the case judging from his expression.
"See you in the county office at nine tomorrow morning.” Ezra left after warning her.
Ezra left in a hurry because he was afraid he might lose control if staying there for another second.
Divorce once he got the inheritance? What kind of loser did she think he was? Counting on a woman and a baby to win the rights of inheritance?
Ezra had been working on getting an inheritance for years, and things were going on exactly as he expected. He was able to snatch the key to the position even without Maisie and Ezio.
Fake marriage? Divorce? Don't even think about it! It wasn't even an option once they got married.
The reason why Ezra accepted the deal without hesitation was that he didn't take it seriously. He just pretended to approve it.
Maisie regained her composure at the sound when the door slammed shut.
Ezra's behaviors bewildered her. At first, Maisie thought he would turn down with that angry look but then he accepted it and asked her to meet at the county office.
Maisie was now at a loss.
But she didn't dig deep into that and took out her phone to call Roman.
Roman was surprised to receive her call. Maisie said coldly on the phone, "Mr. Cantillo, | can take Ezio back to his father's
= family and allow you two to meet in Riverside City, on the ground that you fulfill your promises.”
Roman didn't think she could change her mind. He paused and then said, “You have my word. | will hand Canuli down to Ezra if you take Ezio to Riverside City.”
“OK. | will head to Riverside City after | finished my work here. Please stick by our agreement.” Maisie was conscious that the laws stipulated the relative's right to inherit part of the property, which meant that Diana, Ruth, and Anna could still get money.
But her goal was achieved when Diana's hope crumbled after learning that Ezra inherited Canuli.
