Maggie bit her lip, holding back her emotions, and asked her father, âDad, whatâs wrong with Mom?â
âHer heart condition flared up again,â Drake snapped angrily.
âYour uncle demanded that we stop working because of your situation.
Your mother was overwhelmed and suffered another bout of heartache.
Itâs all because of you!â
As Maggie gazed at her motherâs silver hair, she couldnât find the words to defend herself and Lowered her head, consumed by guilt.
Helena reached out and held Maggieâs hand.
âMaggie, I know youâve endured so much.
Yana is to blame, and weâre angry too.
But we depend on your uncle for financial support.
We canât afford to cross him!â
Tears welled up in Maggieâs eyes as she struggled to speak.
âIf I hadnât run away that day, my Life would have been ruined!â

âYou deserve it! If you had deleted that video sooner, none of this would have happened! Besides, arenât you fine now? Go and drop the case!â
Her father still Laid the blame on her.
This broke Maggieâs heart.

âDad, Yana has bullied me since I was a child.
You always asked me to tolerate her and never stood up for me.
I canât tolerate her anymore! I wonât forgive her!â
âHow dare you!â
Drake seethed with rage, his hand raised, ready to strike her.
âEven if you beat me to death, I will never forgive Yana!â
With tears welling up in her eyes, Maggie raised her head defiantly, her gaze unwavering.
âStop it.
Donât lay a hand on her.
Go out first, Drake!â Helena urgently interjected.

Helena clutched Maggieâs hand, her eyes brimming with tears.
âMaggie, youâve always been such a sensible child.
Youâve never caused us any worry.
Iâm proud of the independent person youâve become.
Yes, Yanaâs at fault this time, and I understand your anger toward her.
