They aren’t worthy of being your parents,” he dered vehemently.


    Maggie’s throat tightened at the memory of her father’s violent outburst, but she shook her head resolutely.


    “Truly, it wasn’t him,” she affirmed.


    “Then how did you receive this mark?” Sanford persisted, his gaze unwavering.


    Meanwhile, amidst the crowd, Cyrus was struck by a sudden realization.


    Panic surged through him as he realized the potential consequences of his actions.


    He’d be in deep trouble if Sanford discovered his attempt to force himself on Maggie.


    Hastily, Cyrus attempted to slip away unnoticed, but his escape was thwarted by Karl’s sudden inquiry, “Where do you think you’re going, Cyrus Flores?”


    Startled, Cyrus let out a nervous chuckle.


    “I, uh, I need to use the restroom.


    Excuse me,” he stammered, attempting to make a quick getaway.


    “Stop right there.


    ” Karl’s voice cut through the air, his tone frigid as he retrieved his phone and yed a video clip.


    “Mr.


    Robles, perhaps you should watch this surveince footage first.

    Taking the phone, Sanford viewed the footage, his demeanor morphing into one of chilling resolve.


    Anyone who dared harm his woman was courting death!


    With a gulp, Cyrus felt the weight of a deadly gaze upon him.


    His heart racing, he turned to flee, but before he could take a step, a searing pain shot through his back, sending him crashing to the ground.


    A wooden stick ttered beside him, hurled by Sanford.


    Cyrus yelped in agony, clutching his back as he attempted to rise.


    Before he could move, Sanford loomed over him, his presence akin to a harbinger of doom.


    Cyrus’s face was drained of color, his voice trembling as he pleaded, “Mr…


    Mr.


    Robles, spare me, please.


    I didn’t know Maggie was with you again.


    I was just messing around with her.


    ”


    With a merciless smirk, Sanford raised his leg, kicking the wooden stick beside Cyrus’s foot.


    Then Sanford delivered his ultimatum, his voice dripping with menace.


    “I’ll give you two choices: either break one of your arms, or I’ll have someone cut off your manhood.


    ”

    “No, Mr.


    Robles, I truly didn’t mean any harm.


    We live in a society governed byws now.
