After Rosalynn departed, Maggie cleaned herself up and soon received a call from her father.

"Maggie, Yana claims you had her thrown in jail. The police say their release depends on your attitude. You'd better write a letter of understanding as soon as possible and get Yana out of there." Her father's irked voice came from the other end of the line.

Maggie gripped her phone tightly.

"Dad, do you even know what she did to me?"

“I don't know the specifics, but we should handle family matters internally. How could you let someone send Yana to the police station?"

Heartbroken, Maggie replied, "Family matters? I don't have a cousin that deranged. She nearly destroyed me. I will never forgive her.”

"Maggie, what on earth are you thinking? If you don't forgive Yana, do you realize the consequences? Our family's relationship with your uncle's will be ruined! We depend on your uncle. You're not being reasonable at all!" Drake chastised.

Feeling wronged, Maggie retorted, "I 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?"

“She said she wouldn't hurt you. Besides, why didn't you delete the video yesterday? You brought this on yourself!" Drake scolded.

Heartbroken, Maggie swallowed her pain.

“You're right. I deserved it. I won't 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 parents' 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 hadn't 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.
