Chapter 2025: Chapter 2028

A group formed a barrier in front of Maggie, blocking her path.

Seeing their hostile approach, Karl instinctively stepped in front of Maggie, his expression alert.

Reyna scrutinized Karl and turned to Cyrus.

“Is this Maggie’s new partner?”

Cyrus said, “Yes.

He claims to be Maggie’s boyfriend.

”

Reyna sneered as she looked Karl over, ready to hurl insults at any moment.

Worried that Reyna would lash out at Karl again, Maggie stepped forward.

“Aunt Reyna, what can I do for you?”

Reyna immediately turned her wrath toward Maggie and yelled, “You bitch! You ruined my daughter! How dare you show your face here? I’ll beat you to death!”

Reyna’s face contorted with rage as she advanced to strike Maggie.

Karl quickly pulled Maggie behind him, and Reyna’s slap landed on his face instead.

Maggie gasped.

“Karl.

”

A distinct slap mark was visible on Karl’s face.

He said stoically to Maggie, “Call the police.

My face is the evidence.

The crime of intentional injury typically carries a sentence of up to three years in jail.

”

Reyna, undeterred, taunted, “Go on! Maggie, you bitch! If you’re brave enough, send us all to jail, or I won’t let you off the hook!”

Maggie was furious.

“Do you really think I’m afraid to call the police? I owe you nothing!”

Her cousin Yana was in jail, and Yana’s parents blamed her, believing she owed them.

Yana deserved her fate.

Maggie believed she did nothing wrong.

“You think you owe us nothing? You ungrateful bitch! Ask your parents.

We’ve provided you with food and clothing since you were a child! Don’t you remember that?” You went to a prestigious university, yet you never repaid us.

Instead, you had my only daughter imprisoned! My poor daughter.

This is all my fault.

Why should I help someone so ungrateful back then?”

Reyna burst into tears, pained by the thought of her daughter still in jail.

Her siblings glared at Maggie with such intensity that it seemed they wanted to devour her whole.

“Reyna, stop wasting words on her! I’m going to teach this bitch a lesson today and get justice for Yana!”

Reyna’s younger brother began to roll up his sleeves, ready to strike Maggie.

His wife, however, kept her cool.

She tugged at his arm and whispered, “Honey, think twice.

What if she ends up with Mr.

Robles again? If you harm her, Mr.

Robles won’t let us off easy.

”

Hearing this, he paused, uncertainty taking hold.
