Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 128 One Last Chance In a sleepy daze, Maggie pondered that if Nathacl still said he was not happy, she would resort to kissing him until he changed his mind.

When Nathael ended the call and turned around, he found Maggie curled up and embracing a pillow, her head tilted in slumber.

Her breaths were shallow and steady, possibly due to alcohol, and her fair complexion was slightly red and warm.

Strands of her hair, which was initially pinned up, had fallen loosely, framing her ears. The sight of her was alluring.

Nathael observed her for a moment as he stood beside her. Seeing a faint sheen of sweat on her nose, he adjusted the air conditioner and gently covered her with a thin blanket.

"You jerk." As if sensing something, Maggie suddenly stirred and struggled to open her eyelids. In her dazed state, she caught sight of a familiar figure. Uttering a soft murmur, she closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.

Nathael chuckled softly. He had to acknowledge her skill in persuading people.

Sweet words flowed effortlessly from her lips, delivered with earnestness, as if each syllable originated from her heart.

Nathael felt strangely calm after his initial rage.

He knew he shouldn't be moved; he should be angry instead.

Yet, with her, his emotions always seemed to transcend boundaries.

After stime, Nathael couldn't resist reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her car as he whispered softly, "Let's just be an unbeatable team from now on." "Mm... Maggie softly murmured with a frown, seemingly in agreement.

Nathael's gaze softened, and he chuckled lightly.

Later, in the suite's study, Nathael had shed his coat and stood by the French windows, awaiting Alex.

A few minutes later, Alex entered quietly and murmured, "I've discovered that Ms. Adam finalized a significant order for gemstones and jewelry with Shawn on behalf of the Camerons." Nathael remained silent, gazing out at the European-style buildings. Eventually, he spoke in a deep tone, “Tell Jimmy to reach out to Joseph and make a substantial jewelry order for the company next quarter.” Alex paused, contemplating Nathael's intentions.

While the Harrises did operate a jewelry business, it wasn't their primary focus. Most of their jewelry consisted of high-end custom designs. In a sense, Nathael just treated it as a game.

1/4 Chapter 128 One Last Chance Alex sensed that Nathael hadn't invested much effort in the jewelry sector and didn't intend to compete seriously.

Nevertheless, he had put seffort into it. Alex felt like Nathael was just biding his tfor something Moreover, the Harrises had a significant annual demand for jewelry due to their involvement in various fashion industries, including magazines, movies, and social media, with their collaboration with Jimmy in the entertainment industry being the most notable.

Previously, their collaboration had always been with the Adams. But this year, "What about Mr. Adam?" Alex cautiously inquired.

Nathael's expression darkened as he replied, "As usual." Alex pondered for a moment. As usual? Does this mean that the order from the Camerons is an additional purchase? He even specified that it should be substantiall Alex's thoughts raced, connecting this issue to Maggie's presence in the living room.

Both the Hansens and the Harrises would be showing respect to the Camerons by doing this, and if this news got out, it would undoubtedly elevate the Camerons' status, especially given Jimmy's prominence in the entertainment world. Nathael's words would be like a boost for the Camerons, enhancing their standing.

As Alex contemplated Nathael's motives, Nathael suddenly turned to him and mentioned, "Someone's been monitoring Shawn." This simple statement snapped Alex's wandering thoughts back into focus.

If someone had been keeping an eye on Shawn, it meant Shawn couldn't fulfill his obligations. Without Shawn's deliveries, the Camerons would face a shortage of supplies.

And if the Camerons couldn't meet their orders, they'd be liable for significant penalties, which was often three times the contract amount. This would result in substantial losses for the Camerons.

Understanding Nathael's intentions, Alex wondered if Nathael had finally cto his senses after talking to Maggie.

Another possibility was that Maggie had provoked Nathael to take such drastic measures out of resentment. Otherwise, why would he target the Camerons? Despite the Camerons having a contract with Shawn, it was dubious. Shawn operated in questionable. areas, and the contract was only enforceable as long as Shawn remained undetected or didn't attempt to fice.

Essentially, it served as a reputation safeguard, compelling Shawn to comply as long as he wanted to maintain his presence in the industry.

But if he were caught or his assets were seized, the contract would be void.

Understanding this, Alex couldn't help but ask, "But will Ms. Adam..

Be upset? 2/43 Chapter 128 One Last Chance" Before Alex could finish, he glanced at Nathael with a thoughtful gaze.

Nathael smirked and replied, "No." But even if she found out, she would likely be pleased.

If the Camerons mistreated her, nothing else matters.

After Alex left, Nathael called his mother once more. Isabel warmly greeted him, “Nathael, why are you still up?" "Mom, could you take Grandma to the Camerons' jewelry store? If you see anything you like, make a few purchases, and I'll reimburse you later." Isabel couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. "Are you trying to butterup for something? "I'm just being a good son." Nathael replied, maintaining his composure.

Isabel chuckled. "Alright. I know you're a good son." After Nathael ended the call, his eyes darkened. His mother, Isabel Ford, and his grandmother, Caitlyn Ballard, were influential figures among Aquapolis's socialites. With their patronage, many prestigious families would likely flock to the Camerons' jewelry store, doubling their orders.

When the truth surfaced, the Camerons would find themselves in a bind, especially when dealing with these influential families.

They would go bankrupt compensating them then.

Early the next morning, Maggie rose from the sofa while rubbing her heavy head.

Gazing at the unfamiliar surroundings, she paused momentarily.

What happened yesterday? Oh, I was with Nathael. Where's that jerk?

Maggie whirled around, finding no one else present. Observing them undisturbed bed she surmised that he had likely left after she fell asleep, unkeen on watching her sleep. After showering and having breakfast, Maggie prepared to return to the classroom.

Just as she was about to leave, Alex knocked on the door and entered, addressing her, “Ms. Adam."

Maggie hesitated for a moment, regarding him with a complex expression. She felt somewhat annoyed, as as she felt that his presence almost always led to m trouble. "What's up?” Alex remained silent, his expression unreadable.

Handing her a hotel room cafd with a serious demeanor, he uttered inlal deep voice, "Mr. Harris said that you have one last chance tonight." "To do what?" Maggie naused trvine to decipher the ominous words 3/4 11:47 Sat, 18 May M Chapter 128 One Last Chance" To make him happy," Alex replied impassively, his innocence apparent.

Maggie was stunned to silence.

Flushed with anger, Maggie immediately removed Nathael's number from her blacklist.

He's shameless, but I'm not! How could he just say that to people? As Maggie looked at Alex, wondering what he must have thought of her, she couldn't help but feel frustrated.
