Chapter 851 She Doesn''t Care


    After consoling the daughter, Ezra turned to the manager''s wife, who seemed rather haggard after the


    shock.


    "Why didn''t you call the police?" Though he didn''t want to interrupt her and do some investigations at


    this moment, he had to.


    The corner of her eyes went red immediately, "Honestly, I thought he was only gued by illness. He


    was such an amiable man and I did not think things could be soplicated."


    Ezra nced at her and asked, "Did he leave you any message? Or any letters?"


    The woman shook her head with a sad face, "No. He just said he wanted to go out for a walk, and he


    never returned."


    Ezra, abstaining from asking anything more, stood up and said, "I hope you can have some good rest


    and get better. You still have a daughter to look after. If you find anything when arranging his


    belongings, please do call us."


    "Okay." The woman nodded, propping against the bed in a weak manner, and said, "Goodbye, Mr.


    Cantillo."


    After Ezra and his assistant left the manager''s house, his assistant sighed, "What should we do now?


    Mr. Cantillo?"


    Ezra asked, "Where''s Anna?"


    His assistant said with contempt, "In a bar."


    It was already the middle of the night after Ezra hade all the way from Grafstin.


    But it was also a time when the bar was most boisterous, a time that Anna loved the most.


    Ezra said, "We should go to the bar."


    His assistant asked kindly, "Should you eat something first?"


    When he informed Ezra of the manager''s ident, it was dinner time. His boss must have rushed here


    without eating anything, and when he arrived, they lost no time looking for clues. Therefore, he thought


    it was necessary that his boss eat something.


    Ezra said ndly, "It''s okay. I ate something on the ne."


    Somehow, Maisie, who was in the distant Grafstin, emerged in Ezra''s mind. Her coldness and


    indifference made Ezra want to deliberately torture himself.


    As if in doing so, Ezra could show Maisie his discontent. Though she probably would not care about his


    being hurt, Ezra still wanted to do that.


    His assistant did not insist and drove him to the bar.


    Anna, wearing a sexy ck dress and a lot of make-up, was having fun in the bar. When Ezra and his


    assistant entered, she was dancing intimately with a man.


    Ezra went forward and dragged her out. Anna was so angry that she shouted out, "What the hell are


    you doing?"


    But Ezra did not say anything. He just tightened his grip and dragged her out of the bar.


    While throwing her aside, Ezra asked coldly, "Why did youe all the way from Riverside City to


    here?"


    Ezra knew that Anna would not acknowledge having met the manager nor having anything to do with


    him, so Ezra took some tentative steps.


    Anna sneered, "I can go anywhere I want. It''s none of your business."


    "What''s the rtionship between you and the manager?" Ezra asked abruptly.


    Her eyes wandered away and then she said drily, "I don''t know him."


    "You don''t know him?" Ezra let out a sarcastic smile, "Then howe someone said that he had met


    you and that he was dead after meeting you?"


    The corner of Anna''s mouth went up in a weird way, "He''s dead?"


    Ezra stared attentively at her face, "Yes, after meeting you."


    It was apparent that Anna''s words proved that she had met the manager, and her smile was enough to


    testify that she had something to do with him.


    It seemed the manager''s death was exactly what Anna wanted. Otherwise, why was she smiling?


    As intelligent and sophisticated as Ezra, he saw through what was going on in Anna''s mind.


    Anna smiled weirdly when hearing the news of the manager''s death. She felt a rush of excitement and


    wanted tough, but then she realized she could not do that in front of Ezra, so Anna tried to hold back


    that smile, which in the end became a weird one.


    Anna was rather vexed being stared at like that, so she shouted at Ezra, "What do you mean by saying


    he''s dead after meeting me? It feels like I have killed him."


    Ezra said instantly, "Did you not?"


    Anna suddenly felt choked, and she heard him continue, "If you did not do that, tell me every word you


    have said to him when you met him. I will judge whether he died because of you."


    Anna stamped her feet, "I said I don''t know him."


    "Why are you questioning me this and that? Ezra?" Anna asked first in a mean and vicious tone,


    "Listen, I have never admitted your existence. You are just a bastard. You are nothing to me."


    Ruth, who normally pretended to be an educateddy, was more or less polite to Ezra. But when it


    came to Anna, an awfully spoiled silver-spoon girl, there was nothing civil about her. It was self-evident


    what Mrs. Cantillo had been instilling into her two daughters.


    Sometimes, it was reasonable that Roman was reluctant to give the family enterprise to his two


    daughters. Roman must know something. First, Ruth and Anna did not have the ability to lead the


    Canuli forward. Second, there was something worrying about their character, especially Anna, which


    made it hard to entrust them with important tasks.


    It followed that Roman should just give Ezra thepany. But he was also reluctant to give Ezra


    everything when Ezra was doing everything against him.


    Anyway, his discontent with both sides made it ambiguous as to who would inherit the Canuli, which


    was why Mrs. Cantillo and her two daughters had beenpeting with Ezra for all these years.


    Ezra''s assistant was quite enraged by Anna''s meanness. If it had not been for Ezra, who had brought


    huge profit to Canuli, Anna had long been cast out of her luxurious and decadent life.


    The Canuli would have gone bankrupt a long time ago if it had been led by those three women.


    And instead of being grateful, Anna even spat malicious words at Ezra, which made the assistant


    clench his fist with rage.


    But the person who was involved seemed rather calm. Ezra had long used to their cynicism. For Ezra,

    they were just maniacs. If their harsh words could beat him, Ezra would have vanished from this world.


    He narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, "Let me guess what could happen between you, a


    middle-aged manager, and a young woman. I suppose the only thing that could happen between you


    guys is sex."


    Anna did not react, while his assistant was startled.


    Anna and the manager were secretly…?


    But wasn''t it a known fact that the manager was a righteous and honest man who loved his family


    deeply?
