His tone was laced with a hint of mockery, his lips curling into a slight smirk, yet his gaze remained cold.
Upon recognizing the voice, Blake swiveled to face Sanford.
Taking in Sanfordâs distinguished demeanor, his eyes widened.
âWho might you be?â
Sanford strutted over to Maggie and said in an arrogant tone, âIâm the lover youâve been referring to, and the one responsible for your daughterâs admission to the psychiatric hospital.
â
Blakeâs expression changed, and he suddenly adopted a more respectful demeanor.
âOh, you must be Mr.
Robles.
Yanaâs lack of discretion led her to offend you.
Please accept our apologies.
â
He had visited his daughter the previous day and was fully aware of the incident from her account.
He understood that she had been sent to the psychiatric hospital by Sanford because she had harmed Maggie.
While Blake had a small factory in their hometown, he couldnât help but feel insignificant compared to the influential Robles family in Wragos.
âYour daughter may be thoughtless, but being older, are you equally thoughtless?â
Sanford remained nonchalant in the face of Blakeâs words.
He cast a sidelong glance at Maggie and pulled her towards him.
âYouâve thrown around the term âloverâ quite a bit, yet do you comprehend its implications? Since Iâm not married now, why canât I be in a relationship with Maggie? If youâd prefer your daughter not to reside indefinitely in the psychiatric hospital, Iâd suggest you curb your temper and watch your words and actions!â
His tone dripped with frosty disdain.
Blake felt a stab of humiliation at being reprimanded by someone younger
However, considering Sanfordâs status, he had no choice but to stomach the affront.

âMr.
Robles, youâve detained my daughter for a full day now.
Can you consider releasing her?â
Sanford gave him a cold look and retorted, âYour daughter has been tormenting my Maggie since they were kids.
A short stay in the psychiatric hospital is far from enough to make up for the harm sheâs caused.
â
Blakeâs heart sank, and he struggled to keep his composure as he asked, âHow long do you intend to keep my daughter in the psychiatric hospital?â
Looking at Maggie, Sanford smiled and inquired, âHow Long do you think it will take? It depends on our mood.
â
Maggie cast her gaze downward, her heart racing as she absorbed Sanfordâs words.
She felt a gentle caress of warm breath against her ear, igniting a tingling sensation in her heart.
The arm draped over her shoulder held her gently, its warmth seeping into her.
She yearned to distance herself from him, yet found herself drawn to remain in his vicinity Longer.
