    She savored the fleeting joy of the moment.


    “Maggie, your lunch is not finished yet. Let’s go inside and finish eating.”


    Hearing the familiar voice, Maggie instinctively looked in his direction and caught a glimpse of his friendly, smiling eyes.


    She quickly looked away and tried to keep calm.


    Seeing that the two were about to enter the studio, ke’s face darkened.


    He directed an angry gaze at Drake and confronted him. “Drake, is this how you''ve taught her to disrespect her elders? After all


    the years of generosity towards your family, is this how you repay me?”


    He was powerless against Sanford, but he could take his anger out on his brother.


    If they didn’t convince Maggie to release his daughter, he vowed to make them pay.


    “ke, try to stay calm. We will never forget your support and generosity.”


    Drake tried to soothe his brother, casting a reproachful nce at his wife, Helena.

    Upon hismand, Helena, who had been silent till now, moved to intercept Maggie, who was on the verge of leaving.


    “Maggie, please, don’t escte things further. Let Yana go. Remember, she is your cousin. And your uncle ke’s factory is our


    source of ie. If you persist, how will we continue working for him?”


    Now, Drake was using Helena to try to sway Maggie, invoking the bonds of family.


    Resolute, Maggie said, “Mom, I’ve already forgiven her once before. She pushed it too far, nearly ruining me. If | let this pass,


    she might be even more reckless. Mom, I’m your daughter. Didn’t you feel bad when | was in pain? What’s more important


    to you, your reputation or me?”


    Her words stung, leaving Helena in a state of guilt and embarrassment.


    Helena’s eyes welled up as she implored, “Maggie, you’re my child. How could | not care? But what can we do? We’re not


    educated. Without your uncle’s help, we would never have had the jobs that paid for your and your brother’s college. Maggie,


    can you forgive Yana one more time? She will learn from this, | promise!”


    Maggie felt a lump in her throat as she looked at her mother’s tear-filled eyes and pleading expression.


    Was she being asked to apologize?


    Did this mean Yana would have free rein to do as she pleased?


    Regardless of her actions or the severity of her mistakes, would she always be forgiven?


    “Maggie, what line of work is your uncle in?” Sanford asked casually Blinking back tears, Maggie answered, “He’s in the clothing


    import-export business.”
