"I never loved him, and I had never been the mistress Diana said. He made me do this."
"This was a rape!" Ezra emphasized as he was driving.
Maisie had the same opinion because Nancy, who did not like Roman at all, slept with the man in the situation of being fuddled deliberately.
"Actually, I had fallen in love with someone who also liked me then," Tears rimmed Nancy's eyes, "but everything was ruined after that night."
"My life was ruined, too."
"Afterwards, I had Ezra abroad. For the child, I had tried to put aside the hatred and forget the people who ever hurt me. I just wanted to take care of my child."
"We had lived in the shadow for years. The days were tough, but we were happy. I never thought that a father is absolutely necessary for a child."
"However, he then knew Ezra by some means and started to badger us, swearing to take him back to the Cantillos. For the sake of protecting my hard-won undertakings, Ezra finally chose to return."
"The man not only destroyed my life but separated my child from me. I can feel nothing but hate for him."
"I never thought of forgiving him," Nancy did not mince words when expressed her animosity towards Roman, "If I got an opportunity to revenge on him, I will do it at any price."
"Now, he is dying, and I am going to jeer at him to his face, telling him he deserves it."
As Nancy stopped her words, Maisie and Ezra just kept silent. They could feel her hatred and support for what she did, and that was why Nancy returned from abroad.
After simmering down, Nancy added, "The life of Diana is a joke. She always found fault with other women, thinking they lured her husband."
"She had grudges against the women and vented her anger on them, but she didn't understand at all that the culprit should be her husband."
"Initially, as Roman tried taking Ezra from me, I managed to get Diana's contact details, planning to join hands with her to gang up on him."
"While I and Ezra didn't want Canuli, Diana bucked for it for the sake of her two daughters, thus I thought our cooperation would be win-win."
"Unexpectedly, she fatuously thought that I had ulterior motives, even that I was flaunting and provoking. It did piss me off, so I gave up the idea."
Maisie could imagine the attitude Diana expressed. She shook her head and said, "She was cynical indeed who considered every woman wants Canuli and aspires to the Cantillo. Thus, she forced her views on you."
"Yes, she hardly realized we didn't want it," Nancy laughed jeeringly, "if Ezra had not returned Canuli, she wouldn't have fought with him for years and finally gone to jail."
"Now, she almost has no chance to revive. Her daughters do not reap any benefits, and her dignity is trampled by her so-called bosom friends. This is her consequence, spending for half her lifetime on scheming."
Mentioning Diana, Maisie and Ezra even felt more resentful because she hurt their child.
The woman deserved no sympathy due to her disposition.
"I heard that little Cantillo got hurt and I did feel angry. In some way, I returned to help you. Unexpectedly, she screwed up herself." Nancy spoke her mind again.
