When Maggie remained quiet, Drake spat out angrily, âYouâre so obstinate! You got lucky snagging a sugar daddy, didnât you? Do you know what the neighbors are saying about you? Itâs utterly disgraceful! Theyâre calling you a prostitute!â
She was disgraceful?
They called her a prostitute?
Maggie looked up.
âSanford isnât married and I havenât done anything immoral.
Why are they treating me with such disdain?â
Drake persisted, âSo, is he planning to marry you? Has he introduced you to his parents? If he truly intends to marry you, I wonât stand in your way.
â
Maggie stood frozen.
She lowered her gaze subconsciously, her fingers involuntarily clenching.
The chasm in status between her and Sanford was evident.
How could he possibly consider marriage?
âSee? He has no intentions of marrying you, does he?â Drake looked at Maggie, his face heavy with sorrow.
âMaggie, wealthy individuals like him are only toying with you.
Once he tires of you, heâll discard you without a second thought.
Everyone in our village knows about your relationship with him.
How do you suppose youâll find a decent man to marry in the future? Who would introduce you to a worthy suitor now?â
At these words, Maggie felt a wave of discomfort wash over her.
âDad, the relationship between us isnât what you imagine.
He isnât using me, nor did I seduce him.
As for the future, I donât wish to marry.
Whatâs wrong with living independently?â
Was marriage an absolute necessity?
Men scared her.
âYou donât want to marry? Do you plan to keep company with a string of men for the rest of your life? Have you ever thought about your brother? How would he feel? How is he supposed to find a decent woman to marry if his sister is so infamous?â

Drake added, âIn the future, his girlfriendâs family will come to know about your tarnished reputation.
What respectable woman would agree to marry him then? Maggie, you canât be this selfish!â
Maggie couldnât hold back her tears.
âDad, Iâm not flitting with many men.
Youâre my father.
Even if others donât believe me, why canât you?â
Why did he insist on misconstruing her actions and condemning her?
She hadnât done anything wrong!
âIf you truly care about your reputation, ask Mr.
Robles to release Yana and sever all ties with him in the future!â Drake admonished.
Maggie tightened her grip, her eyes filling with tears.
Just then, her phone rang.
She pulled it out and glanced at the screen.
It was a call from
Sanford.
