Maggie was hell-bent on dissolving Ella's union with Leon.
All through her lonely hours on the hospital bed, she had been meditating on a possible drastic measure to apply. She knew Ella was strong-willed and only a stringent decision could make her reconsider her plans.
Spending time with Marissa had given Maggie enough information that her daughter was not welcomed into the Treshvire family. She couldn't bear to witness her daughter being trampled under feet by this wealthy and arrogant family.
Maggie's desire for Ella and Richard to settle down together was unwavering. In her heart, Richard remained the perfect match for her beautiful and stubborn daughter. Even if Ella rejected Richard on any ground, Maggie didn't mind her considering someone else other than the Treshvires.
