Maisie's unexpected words took aback Cindy.
In reality, everyone had their boundaries, and Cindy's biggest mistake was disregarding Maisie's emotions and being careless about her sensitive wounds. She forgot that even a rabbit could bite when pushed too far.
Unable to swallow this insult, Cindy was only stunned for a few seconds. When she finally reacted, her anger surpassed her shock by far.
"You wretched girl!" she screamed. "You dare to throw a tantrum and smash things at me now? I..."
She looked around, picked up a cup from the table, and aggressively threw it on the floor. Unsatisfied, she then grabbed a vase and hurled it toward Maisie.
Maisie stood motionless as if plummeting into the depths of despair, feeling cold all over.
Right when Cindy hurled the vase, the door to the room swung open, and someone dashed in to shield Maisie. "Watch out!"
Maisie blinked in confusion. There was a sunny scent about this person's white shirt.
The vase crashed to the floor and shattered.
"Are you okay?" Harvey protected Maisie from the debris, looking incredulously at Cindy. "Ma'am, what are you..."
Cindy stared blankly at him.
Coincidentally, Daniel arrived and witnessed the scene. Standing at the door, he noticed Maisie's distressed expression and saw the young man protectively shielding her.
