Chapter 126 I Can Make You Happy
Nathael placed his glass down and retrieved a cigarette from his pack, casually lighting it as Maggie’s heart- raced with uncertainty.
As the flame from his lighter cast a crimson glow on his silhouette, he turned to give her a cold stare and asked, “What if I said no?”
At a loss. Maggie bit her lip, unable to hold back her question. “What do you mean? Even if you don’t care about our relationship, shouldn’t you think about your friendship with Ericko? No matter what, you shouldn’t side with the Camerons!”
Nathael’s eyes darkened as he responded calmly. “Didn’t you ask me to leave the Adams and side with the Camerons a while back?”
“Well…” Maggie hesitated, her emotions tangled. “That was in the past.”
Avoiding her gaze, Nathael focused on the glasses on the coffee table as he took a drag of his cigarette.
Sitting at his side, Maggie was overwhelmed with questions.
Is he crazy?
No. I must’ve misunderstood him.
“You don’t need to assist Ericko and me. Just keep our secret, okay?” Maggie pleaded, her eyes reflecting
earnestness.
Nathael chuckled, his voice laced with disdain. “Maggie, I’m a businessman. I can strike a deal with Ronald using what you told me. What can you offer me instead?”
Nathael’s tone turned icy and aloof, revealing a deep aversion to hearing her name alongside Ericko’s, which surpassed even his previous disdain for Joseph.

Maggie was taken aback by his response, feeling like they were strangers negotiating a business deal.
After a moment of contemplation, she looked at Nathael earnestly and said, “I can make you happy!”
Nathael remained silent for a moment before extinguishing his cigarette and rising to leave.
Maggie panicked and grabbed his sleeve, with a hint of spoiled defiance on her face. “I don’t care. You can’t side with the Camerons no matter what!”
Nathael glanced at her grip on his sleeve, sneering. “Who are you to tell me what to do?”
Maggie was left speechless, unable to find the words.
Locking eyes with her, Nathael spoke in a low voice, “Maybe I’ll tip off Ronald. Consider it a good deed for

Nathael leaned forward, delicately grasping her chin. His dark eyes were swirling with restrain, like an angry sea really to swallow everything in its path.
He couldn’t understand why she would use him for the Camerons, and then turn around to plot against them for Ericko.
He wondered what she really cared about.
In Nathael’s eyes, Ericko took precedence over the Camerons, and the Camerons took precedence over
him.
Maggie met his gaze, her expression resolute.
After a moment, she bowed her head and said, “Mr. Harris, what do you want?”
Nathael chuckled, a hint of self–mockery in his eyes. Parroting Maggie’s words back at her, he replied, “I want someone to make me happy.”
Maggie was at a loss for words.
