disrespect her elders? After all the years of generosity towards your family, is this how you repay me?”
He was powerless against Sanford, but he could take his anger out on his brother.
If they didn’t convince Maggie to release his daughter, he vowed to make them pay.
“Blake, try to stay calm. We will never forget your support and generosity.”
Drake tried to soothe his brother, casting a reproachful glance at his wife, Helena.
“What are you waiting for? Tell Maggie to let Yana go!”
Upon his command, Helena, who had been silent till now, moved to intercept Maggie, who was on the
verge of leaving.
“Maggie, please, don’t escalate things further. Let Yana go. Remember, she is your cousin. And your
uncle Blake’s factory is our source of income. If you persist, how will we continue working for him?”
Now, Drake was using Helena to try to sway Maggie, invoking the bonds of family.
Resolute, Maggie said, “Mom, I’ve already forgiven her once before. She pushed it too far, nearly
ruining me. If I let this pass, she might become even more reckless. Mom, I’m your daughter. Didn’t you

this, I promise!”
Maggie felt a lump in her throat as she looked at her mother’s tear-filled eyes and pleading expression.
Was she being asked to apologize?
Did this mean Yana would have free rein to do as she pleased?
Regardless of her actions or the severity of her mistakes, would she always be forgiven?
“Maggie, what line of work is your uncle in?” Sanford asked casually Blinking back tears, Maggie
answered, “He’s in the clothing import-export business.”
