âMaggie, Yana claims you had her thrown in jail.
The police say their release depends on your attitude.
Youâd better write a letter of understanding as soon as possible and get Yana out of there.
â Her fatherâs irked voice came from the other end of the line.
Maggie gripped her phone tightly.
âDad, do you even know what she did to me?â
âI donât know the specifics, but we should handle family matters internally.
How could you let someone send Yana to the police station?â
Heartbroken, Maggie replied, âFamily matters? I donât have a cousin that deranged.
She nearly destroyed me.
I will never forgive her.
â
âMaggie, what on earth are you thinking? If you donât forgive Yana, do you realize the consequences? Our familyâs relationship with your uncleâs will be ruined! We depend on your uncle.
Youâre not being reasonable at all!â Drake chastised.
Feeling wronged, Maggie retorted, âI was so docile that Yana could hurt me without restraint.
Yesterday, you just stood there watching as she took me away.
Am I even your daughter?â
âShe said she wouldnât hurt you.
Besides, why didnât you delete the video yesterday? You brought this on yourself!â Drake scolded.
Heartbroken, Maggie swallowed her pain.
âYouâre right.
I deserved it.
I wonât forgive her.
If she ends up in jail, she deserves it
Unable to listen any further, Maggie hung up and switched off her phone.
Tears filled her eyes as she wiped them away, took a deep breath, and composed herself.
She had grown accustomed to her parentsâ unfair treatment since childhood.

In their eyes, her brother and their work always took precedence.
They believed they had treated her well enough since they hadnât forced her to drop out of junior high and even allowed her to complete senior high.
She was grateful for their upbringing.
However, their actions the previous day left her deeply hurt and disappointed.
How could they be so heartless to her?
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Maggie pushed her thoughts aside and hurried to open the door.
Seeing Sanford standing outside made her flustered.
âHi.
.
â
Sanford had several bags in his hands.
He cleared his throat and asked, âArenât you going to invite me in for a chat?â
âCome in.
â Maggie quickly ushered him inside.
