Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Slander

Maggie had always been wary of Beth, for she never believed that a woman who saw her as a love rival. would harbour any good intentions.

At first, when she saw Beth standing motionless, Maggie let her guard down a bit, only to realise that something was off about the passing waiter.

The tray he carried no longer bore glasses filled with wine, but only two empty ones. Without drinks, there was no need for him to purposefully head upstairs; he should have gone down to replace the glasses.

In her moment of realisation, the waiter suddenly turned, discarded his tray, and thrust violently towards her back.

With quick reflexes, Maggie steadied herself on the stair railing and dodged to the side.

The attacker hadn’t anticipated her alertness. Having missed his target, he tumbled headfirst down the

stairs.

“Urghhh!”

A scream rang out as the waiter crashed down, rolling several times before coming to a stop on the ground. floor’s carpet.

The onlookers, visibly shaken by the sight, gasped at the commotion.

The woman briskly retreated two steps, casting a glance downward. The commotion also attracted a large number of onlookers in the vicinity.

Maggie stood firm, clutching the railing, sweating a cold sweat from the close call.

If the waiter had succeeded, she couldn’t imagine how bad her fall could have been.

However, in her haste, she inadvertently twisted her ankle again during the attack.

She was speechless, cursing her poor luck for the month.

Maggie stood still. From where she stood, she could see the fallen waiter, a young man probably in his early twenties, his face scraped from the fall.

He slammed his forehead against the stairs‘ edge. Blood trickled down from his forehead, staining the dark brown carpet with drops resembling dark red flowers–a chilling sight.

“What happen? It looks like a waiter falling from upstairs!” Someone exclaimed.

“Is he dead? There’s so much blood.”

“Get the doctor! Doesn’t the hotel have a first–aid counter?”

“What happened for him to fall like that, eh? Isn’t that the adopted daughter of the Camerons?”

The murmurs of speculation rose. As they spoke, they lifted their eyes and found Maggie standing at the top of the stairs.

Her eyes were filled with unwillingness at the failed attempt.

Maggie was indeed sharp.

Beth had hoped the fall would sabotage her chances to be with Nathael.

Surprisingly, Maggie had deftly avoided the attack.

Nathael was negotiating with Orson’s son when he looked up to see a crowd gathered around the bottom of the stairs, with Maggie standing pale–faced by the second–floor railing.

“Excuse me.” Nathael said.

He walked briskly. His gaze settled on the fallen man, a frown etching his brow. He called out, “Alex.”

“Understood, Mr. Harris.” Alex responded.

He checked the waiter’s breath before reassuring the onlookers and saying. “He’s going to be okay.”

As the hotel’s doctor arrived at the scene, Alex moved to the side and let the doctor do his job.

Nathael didn’t wait for the outcome. He moved quickly to Maggie’s side. His hand steadied her as he asked in a low voice, “What happened?”

Maggie glanced back, and she saw that Beth had already left via another staircase.
