Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 You Know How

“Mary, didn’t you hear what Mr. Harris said?” Ronald’s tone sharpened, avoiding Mary’s gaze.

It had been a while since he felt so powerless against someone’s influence.

Tears filled Mary’s eyes. Before she could respond, Joseph intervened, unable to stay silent. “Mr. Harris, aren’t you taking this too far?”

Maggie nearly chuckled at Joseph’s comment.

Now he’s acting all sympathetic?

Il’here was his compassion when Sierra blinded me and left me scarred

Where was his pity when he used me and strapped explosives to my body?

How ridiculous!

The biggest joke in the world!

Nathael locked eyes with Joseph. His gaze was sharp and dangerous, like a concealed blade, suppressing its hostility.

Joseph shivered, instinctively wanting to retreat.

He forced himself to meet Nathael’s stare, tension thick in the air,

After a pause, Nathael smirked, a cruel glint in his eyes. “If you want to do it on her behalf, be my guest.”

Ronald’s heart sank further at those words.

Master Cameron couldn’t stay silent any longer

They knew about Nathael’s reputation. He wasn’t necessarily going after the Camerons; it was just their bad luck.

Maggie’s voice was soft, as if she was unsure of what to do.

Upon hearing this, Joseph didn’t utter a word. Ronald, however, spoke in a frosty tone, “Mary, since you’ve made a mistake, you should own up to it. Don’t let your momentary lapse in judgment harm the child.”

Ronald’s statement had a hidden meaning; ‘child‘ referred to both Joseph and Mary’s child.

Ronald and Master Cameron couldn’t stand to see Joseph troubled, let alone their treasured heir losing face.

Thus, Mary found herself in the position of sacrifice

Mary’s eyes were teary, and her hands were clenched tightly at her sides, showing her effort to control herself.

If Nathael’s anger wasn’t resolved today, it wouldn’t just affect the Camerons; it would also impact her future.

Maggie glanced towards Joseph, meeting his gaze.

Joseph’s expression was complicated as he looked at Maggie.

Despite this, Maggie smiled back at him.

It’s easy to ignore others‘ suffering until you experience it yourself. Joseph wanted to defend Mary and be a good person, but he remained silent once the focus shifted to him.

The Camerons portrayed themselves as moral and righteous, but in reality, they lacked integrity and courage.

Mary pleaded with her father with her eyes, hoping for his support.

Unfortunately, Master Cameron avoided her gaze as he poured a cup of tea for Nathael. The sound of water pouring into the cup grated on their cars in the quiet room.

Mary’s heart sank as she stared at the shattered glass on the floor. Eventually, she kneeled down and picked up the broken pieces with her hands.

Nathael remained unaffected, watching the older woman humiliated before him with cold eyes.

Maggie stole a glance at Nathael’s profile. At that moment, he seemed unfamiliar to her.

Nathael seemed distant and serious, showing no pleasure from revenge or any sign of irritation.
