Sanford’s expression darkened once more at Cyrus’s words.


    He raised his foot and pressed it against Cyrus’s head, forcing half of his face to the ground.


    “How dare you try to sow discord between us?”


    Cyrus cried out, “Mr.


    Robles, I’m not trying to create discord between you and Maggie.


    I’m simply stating the truth.


    If you doubt me, you can ask others.


    Many people at the factory heard about it! Even Maggie’s mother is aware.


    Just now, she mentioned inviting her husband to lunch with Karl.


    ”


    The majority of the onlookers had been present since earlier in the day.


    Upon hearing Cyrus’s words, they nodded in agreement.


    “Yes, yes, we all heard about it!”


    Helena’s eyes shimmered with uncertainty as she was unsure of what to say.


    Reyna, however, let out a sneer directed at Sanford.


    “Mr.


    Robles, is it truly worth it to defend such a promiscuous woman? The ultimate disgrace for a man is to be cuckolded.


    How can someone as affluent as you endure such shame?”


    Sanford fixed her with a lethal re, causing Reyna to step back, realizing the gravity of her words.


    Turning his attention to Maggie, his gaze turned sinister.


    Maggie felt her fingers clenching, her face draining of color.


    She was at a loss for words.


    While she hadn’t explicitly introduced Karl as her boyfriend, she hadn’t refuted his im either.


    How could she navigate this situation with Sanford’s inevitable anger?


    “What a ludicrous statement! Mr.


    Robles, how dare you im Maggie as your girlfriend now?” Karl’s voice cut through the tension suddenly.


    Sanford’s cold gaze settled on him, emanating danger.


    Undeterred, Karl continued, “Even if you and Maggie had a past, it’s in the past.


    A woman as alluring as Maggie will naturally attract other suitors.


    Now that she’s single and I’m pursuing her, why can’t I be her boyfriend?


    Furthermore, don’t forget that you’re engaged.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Stop harassing Maggie.


    If you want to win her back, call off your engagement first before pursuing her.


    ”


    Despite his disdain for Sanford, Karl’s words were aimed at safeguarding Maggie’s reputation.


    By asserting his pursuit of Maggie alongside Sanford’s, he aimed to dispel any notion that she


    was Sanford’s secret lover or keeping him as a toy boy.


    Sanford grasped Karl’s underlying message, though it only served to stoke the jealousy simmering within him.


    Suppressing his emotions, Sanford redirected his attention to Cyrus.


    “You don’t need to divert my focus.


    I’ve presented you with two options.


    Have you made a decision?”


    Cyrus had hoped that Sanford’s anger would subside, but he was met with the grim reality that Sanford wasn’t willing to let him off easily.


    Swallowing nervously, Cyrus protested, “Mr.


    Robles, you can’t harm me.
