After ending the call abruptly, Maggie dashed out of the building.
As she waited, the elevator doors slid open revealing her parents and her uncle, Yanaâs father.
âDad, Mom, Uncle.
Why are you all here?â Maggie approached and offered her greetings.
Blakeâs face was a mask of anger as he rebuked her, âMaggie, you ungrateful child! Iâve supported you and your parents, helped you through school.
And this is how you repay me?â
At his words, Maggieâs fingers curled tightly, a sign of restraint flickering in her eyes.
âUncle, have I done something wrong?â
âRebellious is what you are! Yana is in a mental hospital because of you, and you dare to ask what youâve done wrong? Apologize, now!â
Drake, Maggieâs father, barked.
âWhy should I apologize when I havenât done anything wrong?â Maggieâs voice was resolute as she spoke.
âYana has been tormenting me since we were children.
Iâve put up with her Long enough.
But she just got worse.
If anyone owes an apology, itâs her!â
Blake shot her a heated glare at her words.
âWhat harm has Yana ever done to you? If she really wanted to hurt you, you wouldnât be standing here uninjured, would you?â
Maggie felt a sense of injustice.
Yanaâs overbearing nature was a direct result of her parentsâ excessive pampering.
But they hadnât realized their mistakes yet.
âUncle Blake, if youâre here to admonish me, Iâm afraid I have nothing to contribute.
I have a packed schedule and tasks awaiting my attention.
I need to go now.
â
Maggie didnât want to waste time talking to them, so she turned around and left.
âHold on!â Blake called out in a raised, angry tone.
Maggie faltered her steps but didnât turn around.
âWhat?â

Blake approached her with a solemn expression, his eyes scanning her from head to toe.
âMaggie, that dress looks quite fancy.
It must have cost you a pretty penny, huh? Did your lover buy it for you? You become involved with a wealthy man at such a young age.
You should be ashamed of yourself Youâre quite bold.
Is it due to his backing?â
His words incensed Maggie to the point where her chest heaved in anger.
Just as she was about to retort, she noticed Sanford making his way over, initiating a conversation.
âHer Lover? Are you referring to me?â
