Chapter 2027: Chapter 2030

With a pained expression, Helena persisted, “If that’s what it takes, would you be satisfied if you hurt me instead? Please, spare my daughter.

”

Seeing her mother humbling herself, Maggie couldn’t bear it and rushed to her side.

“Mom, I’ve done nothing wrong.

You don’t need to plead with anyone!”

“Maggie…”

“Are you still denying what you did? It’s all your fault!”

Before Helena could finish, Drake’s slap Landed heavily on Maggie’s shoulder.

Caught off guard, Maggie staggered, nearly falling.

Thankfully, Karl intervened just in time.

“Mr.

Shear, why would you strike her?”

“Stay out of this!” Drake snapped furiously, his anger palpable.

Unfazed, Karl stood his ground, positioning himself protectively in front of Maggie.

Helena rushed to restrain Drake, who seethed with rage.

“Stop! Let’s resolve this calmly.

”

“Move aside!”

Drake shouted, pushing his wife to the ground.

“Mom!”

Startled, Maggie hurried over and helped her mother up.

With red eyes, Helena said, “Maggie, don’t be so stubborn.

Quickly apologize to your aunt-in-law, and then find a way to get Yana out.

”

Maggie felt deeply wronged.

“Mom, I’ve said it before, I was right.

Yana broke the law, so she must face the consequences.

”

“You’re still insisting you’re right!”

Enraged, Drake scanned the surroundings, seized a stick from the ground, and swung it toward Maggie.

Taken aback, Karl intervened swiftly.

“Mr.

Shear, let’s discuss this calmly.

Please, drop the stick.

”

“Move, or you’ll get hit too!” Drake yelled furiously.

Witnessing her father about to strike Karl, Maggie hastily pulled him away, her heart heavy with distress and indignation.
