There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)

Ezra threw Erika a glance. It seemed that Tyrone and Janie got scared and even slapped Erika.

But Ezra wouldn't let them get away easily. He said, "It wasn't you who acted stupidly. Your apology is useless to me."

"Plus, it wasn't me who you should apologize to."

After saying this, he reached an arm around Maisie's waist. His statements just showed his attitude. Apparently, Ezra wasn't interested no matter how sincere their apologies were. Tyrone and Janie instantly got his intention. Tyrone turned to yell at Erika who was trembling aside. "Get your ass here and apologize to Mrs. Cantillo!"

Erika was shaking and came up to them reluctantly.

Erika didn't think she has done anything wrong. But his father got really mad and slapped her in the face the second she got back home.

She had never been slapped by her father before. She cried and screamed, only to be slapped again. Her mouth was bleeding and she went dizzy because of the sudden hit.

Tyrone wanted to give her another hit but got stopped by Janie.

Tyrone shouted abuse at her. "Are you trying to kill us? You want us to be penniless? You want to send us to jail?"

"We now almost lost everything. We still need the money to sustain our lives. Now Ezra is charging against us and asks us to give in all the money. Are you trying to get us to live in poverty for the rest of our lives?" Through a series of scolding and questioning, Erika came to realize why her father slapped her - Erika came to bother Maisie tonight. Ezra took revenge on her by charging her parents even though Maisie didn't get hurt.

Erika covered her swollen face with her hands and wept. What a calculating person Ezra was! Maisie didn't get injured anyway. Did he really have to do this to her?

"Mrs. Cantillo. I am very sorry about what I did tonight. This was all my fault."

Ezra saved Erika no face. "I don't see the sincerity in it."

"But that's no matter." Ezra looked at Tyrone and Janie, saying, "My original plan was to kick you out of this city. But now things weren't that easy."

Tyrone and Janie were terrified. "Mr. Cantillo. We will pack our stuff right after we go back home and depart for another city. We assure you that you won't be able to see us in Riverside City anymore."

Tyrone and Janie were unwilling to leave this city. They have all the connections and resources they needed in Riverside. They would lose everything if they didn't stay in this city.

The last time when Ezra demanded their departure, they deliberately delay the time to set off, taking the chance that Ezra might forget them after a while.

Ezra seemingly put them behind since he didn't pick on them. But Erika spoiled their plan. Tonight Ezra served them a summons, which insisted on their expelling and also returning the money they took. Tyrone and Janie were crossed about her stupidity. After calming down, they weighed the pros and cons. Finally, they decided to leave and wished that Ezra could accept their apologies so that they could still keep the money.

Ezra smiled with aloofness, "You must leave Riverside City and also return the money.

Tyrone compressed his lips and asked with difficulty, "How much do you want?"

"At least the house you currently stayed in," Ezra answered.

Ezra didn't care much about the amount but they must learn the lesson and chastised Erika harder than ever.

The house was worth no less than ten million. Giving up the house was like killing Tyrone.

The reason why Ezra wanted their house was to rule out all the possibility that Tyrone and his family might come back one day. They have lived in this place for years. They lost their connection to the city without this house. They became passers-by in Riverside City.

Janie and Tyrone were facing a hard choice. "Mr. Cantillo!"

They tried to say something but were interrupted by Ezra, "You have two options, giving up the house or going to court."

Tyrone and Janie immediately shut up. They knew that they would have nothing left if they were taken to court, including the house.

To save himself from any further trouble, Ezra gazed at Janie who was crying piteously, and said coldly, "As far as I know, you are seeing somebody else except my father."

"Your lovers included the deputy director of some administration and the president of an aquaculture company?"

It came as shock to Maisie. Her jaw dropped and unbelievably stared at Janie.

She couldn't figure out why Janie who looked so dignified and sedate would have such active social life. And it looked like Tyrone knew that too?

Janie didn't know where to put herself. And Tyrone looked terrible.

Brazen as Tyrone might be, he felt ashamed that others discovered his own wife's affairs with a different man and exposed it in front of him.

They assumed that Ezra was only aware of the affair between Janie and Roman. But they were wrong and Ezra had everything under control.

"End of the conversation." Ezra left with Maisie after saying this.

He didn't bother to bring this mess up at first but now he just wanted to quit this tangle and make this family disappear.

He had to acknowledge that Janie was a master of cheating who was able to get Tyrone's permission. He wondered if his father who has passed away was conscious of her multiple affairs.

It would be fair to say that Janie traded her body for the good lives their family had for all these years.

The last time Janie asked the deputy director for help was when she vowed to retaliate against Maisie at the police station. But her connection was nothing compared to Ezra's, leading to Janie's failure. And exactly that was how Ezra discovered Janie's dramatic affairs.
