SWNOVELS Chapter 945 As Easy As To Turn Your Hand
Maisie intended to ignore her. But Erika stood there, apparently coming for her. So Maisie paused and turned to look at Erika.
As Ezra told her before, Erika was an obstinate person. She kept looking for trouble even after going through revenge on Ezra towards Janie and her.
She might as well give Erika what she wanted.
The white dress Maisie wore tonight was her choice of Ezra. It was practical but not sexy. And Maisie looked nicely elegant on it.
She matched her outfit with a set of stunning and luxurious jewelry, making her a gorgeous lady of high society.
Erika noticed her resplendent look. She couldn't believe the girl in front of her came from such a nasty family.
She was a totally new person!
Thinking of this, Erika was nearly out of breath due to anger. She glared at Maisie and sneered, "There are some shamelessly bitches who resorted to every conceivable means to approach Ezra and made her way into the upper class." Maisie appeared unimpressed at all. Scolding was all Erika could do now.
Maisie retorted, "I moved up the social ladder independently. How did you make your living, may I ask?"
Before Erika could say anything, Maisie retorted with a smirk, "You are well aware of the person who made your family become what it is now."
Erika's expression changed as Maisie finished her sentence.
Erika knew better than anyone that the great wealth she had now was down to the illicit affair between her mother and Roman. Yet that Maisie bluntly used this to taunt her was out of her expectation.
"If it weren't for your mother..." Maisie deliberately paused and slowed the pace of talking to humiliate Erika.
Erika was no match for Maisie in making people embarrassed.
Maisie naturally wouldn't disclose the affairs between Roman and Janie with other people present. It wasn't something to be proud of and could cause harm to Ezra and Canuli if it was leaked.
So she paused at this point, which scared the shit out of Erika.
"Shut your damn mouth!" Erika was obviously crossed.
She was frightened that Maisie would continue and reveal the illicit affair. To stop her saying fatherly, she came up to Maisie, ready to slap her.
What she didn't realize was that Maisie was capable of fighting and a qualified bodyguard for Julian. Maisie gripped Erika's arms before Erika could reach her and twisted it. Erika screamed and cried out of pain. "That was hurt..."
"Help!"
Erika's friend rushed to help, only to be tripped by Maisie.
Erika's friend fell heavily to the ground. Maisie bet I was hurt. Well, her friend could be exempt from such pain if she just minded her own business.
Grappling Erika who was in the middle of crying, Maisie turned to look at another girl who was also there. She must be the one who had taken Erika and her friend to the party since they were not invited. Maisie said to her, "You are Mr. Burt's daughter, right?"
One short sentence sent shivers down the girl's spine. And it looked like Maisie wasn't someone she could be trifled with. The girl compressed her lips and then left in a hurry.
Maisie recognized her and asked her with words filled with a sense of threat. Her family may become the target of revenge if she kept meddling in it.
Given that she was Mrs. Cantillo now, Ezra might accede to her request, no matter how little Ezra loved Maisie. On her family's behalf, the girl walked away.
The main reason that the girl brought them with her to the party was that she was jealous of what Maisie had now.
Yet she was not doing this for marrying Ezra as Erika did. She simply wanted to give Maisie a hard time since a girl of a low social position like her didn't deserve such a high-quality life. Maisie let go of Erika after the girl left. Erika's forehead sweated and her hand went numb after being pinched for such a long time. Now she was too hurt to do anything harmful to Maisie. Maisie dusted some ash leisurely and looked at Erika, "Remember what I told you. Never play with me."
Maisie has already warned Erika when she sent Erika to the police station.
Maisie failed to see the logic behind Erika's behavior. Did Erika think that she could bully and insult a girl without considering the consequence since the girl was from a disadvantaged family?
If this was her thinking, she was pretty dumb. The lowest thing to do was to tease others about their background.
Erika glared at her with eyes filled with tears. She now didn't dare to do anything.
Maisie said, "Last time Ezra had your parents send you away but you didn't leave. There might be some room for negotiation if you behave well. But judging from the current situation, you have to leave this city." Erika roared out of fury, "Don't celebrate too soon. Soon Ezra will dump you!"
Erika said this to irritate Maisie. But Maisie laughed and said, "I am waiting for it. It will be a huge relief for me if he let me go."
Erika was pissed off.
At this moment, Emelia saw her and walked towards them, calling her name. "How come you are here? We are looking for you. And Ezra prepared a surprise for you."
Emelia came up to them and gave Maisie a smile while waiving her phone to her. She said, "Ms. Marshall. I have videoed how you picked on Maisie and attempted to hit her."
Different from Maisie who appeared to be tough, Emelia always showed her kindness and spoke with a gentle voice. But what she said was serious.
It never occurred to Erika that Emelia would witness everything and record it. She would not get away with this easily once the video spread.
Now she was furiously troubled and cornered. She had no choice but to get out with her friend who has just managed to stand up again.
