Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 107 Are You Mad at Me? "I do. Mrs. Adam, you've got it twisted. I'm not into Ericko like that," Maggie quickly set the record straight thinking back to what Nathael had said last night.

She wondered why he did push her a little harder because she would have said yes if he did.

Yet, deep down, she knew it would always be him.

Despite her own second-guessing, Maggie could not imagine being with anyone else.

Hearing this, Fiona felt a bit let down and went straight for the jugular with her next question, catching Maggie off guard, "So, when are you going to break it off?" Phillip cleared his throat loudly.

Phillip could not stand to watch anymore and had to say something.

Ericko, feeling a headache coming on, was shocked to hear Maggie had a boyfriend, especially since Nathael did not strike him as the type to charm someone like her.

Fiona, though, seemed to really hit it off with Maggie, diving into deep conversation. Maggie, enjoying the vibe, stayed close to her mom, keeping her company and making sure she was having a good time.

Ericko watched the scene unfold with gentle eyes.

Remembering Nathael mentioning her stomach troubles and skipping breakfast, he quickly arranged for a breakfast delivery.

Initially feeling out of place, Maggie was persuaded by Fiona and Ericko to join them for the meal.

Tseemed to speed up as they enjoyed their morning.

When Fiona appeared slightly tired, Maggie decided it was tto say goodbye.

Grasping her hand, Fiona offered a heartfelt invitation, "Drop by my place sometor cseeat work. Our hmight not be filled with much, but our jewelry ollection is vast. Pick anything you fancy." Maggie listened to Fiona's generous words, yet her smile faltered.

Her family had always been kind-hearted.

Yet, in her previous life, her actions brought them undeserved distress, preventing them from finding happiness. Why did the Camerons seem to thrive? No, Nathael had avenged her, ensuring their downfall was even more tragic.

Had Nathael not been concerned for her, he would have never left their side until her final moments. Still, she puzzled over why Joseph, after enduring so much, abruptly chose to kidnap her.

As Ericko accompanied her out of the hospital room, the two walked through the hospital gardens.

1/4 $197. Sat, 10 May Chapter 107 Are You Mad at Me? "Not yet, but it seems like it'll happen soon," Maggie admitted, her eyes drifting downwards.

t Watching Maggie's reaction, Ericko gently ruffled her hair, offering a gentle caution, “Take your twith this, he might not appreciate you rushing." Ericko understood Nathael was not that kind of person, yet he could not ignore the fact that Maggie was his sister.

Had Nathael's feelings been directed elsewhere, perhaps his counsel would differ. However, his affection for his sister warranted sconcessions.

"He won't do that to me," Maggie quickly cto Nathael's defense.

She was certain of Nathael's regard for her both in this lifetand the previous one.

Ericko offered a smile, choosing to keep his thoughts to himself, "Alright, I'll take your word for it." At his words, Maggie was struck by a sense of regret, recalling her past endeavors for Joseph. She quietly confessed, "Truth is, my judgment has been pretty awful.".

The conversation then naturally veered towards their professional lives.

"I just got a call from the Camerons askingto cback. They're gearing up to debut the new jewelry line next month." Maggie took a moment before adding. "They're really pushing the timeline, and Vanessa moving in with the Adams is a big reason why the jewelry company is getting off the ground so quickly." She knew, just like before, Vanessa had found her way into the Adams' jewelry business.

Even in a lesser role, Vanessa managed well under Madam Adam's protection, her tendency to yield serving her in this environment.

"What do you plan to do?" Ericko's voice was soft, curious about her next move.

Maggie stopped walking, looking at him intently, "Have you heard of Shawn Lewis?" Shawn was not born into privilege, had sshady contacts, and started out as an enforcer in the nightlife. However, his bold actions, keen eye, and sharp intellect soon elevated him.

Eventually, Shawn ventured into smuggling, finding success. Initially, his dealings were varied, but recently, he focused on timber and jewelry, aligning him with the Adams' main business.

Ericko, familiar with the industry, understood.

"You're planning to use him to ensnare the Camerons," he surmised.

Maggie's smile was an acknowledgment, "Exactly, it seems you're quite informed too.

Shawn's rising profile and involvement in lucrative areas had drawn attention from higher-ups, posing a threat to his operations. Maggie had Leo dig into this, and the intel confirmed her recollections from another life.

Shawn was on the brink of being caught, and his activities were monitored closely, just waiting for the right moment to act.

214 11:37 Sat, 18 May Mou Chapter 107 Are You Mad at Me? In her previous life, someone else had inadvertently set a trap for Shawn, but this time, the Camerons were unwittingly laying the groundwork, which suited Maggie just fine.

"I'll take care of the preparations," Ericko confirmed, signaling his grasp of Maggie's strategy.

Talking with Ericko, who was sharp and on the ball, brought Maggie a sense of ease. She shared further, "Beyond just getting the goods, I'm planning to double down on the design drafts as well."

Her aim was clear: to be fully equipped to stop the Camerons dead in their tracks from making any in headway into the m o the jewelry market. For the moment, their best move was to stay out of the Adams' way and stick to their construction endeavors. After hashing out the finer points of their plan, it was tfor Maggie to head out.

Ericko had initially intended to walk her out, but she wanted to swing by the ward one last tand opted to go alone.

When Maggie got back to the ward from the night before, she found it empty.

The only traces of her previous visit were her coat from the day before and the untouched breakfast left in the lunch box on the table-nothing else remained.

Nathael was nowhere to be seen, which was a relief for Maggie.

She had worried he might have stayed waiting for her, which would have been a waste of his valuable time, given how busy he was.

Opening the lunch box, Maggie discovered it was filled with her favourites: a croissant and coffee from Garhet Street, plus sfrench toast and oatmeal, clearly intended for two. However, he did not touch any of them Realising it was almost midday, Maggie decided the untouched breakfast could serve as her lunch. Once she finished eating, she cleaned up the area and caught a taxi to head back to her school.

On the way, she thought to give Nathael a call, wondering if he might be upset with her absence.

If that was the case, she knew she would have to find a way to make it up to him.

She tried calling him but only encountered a busy signal, receiving no answer.

Confused, Maggie tried calling once more.

On the other end, Nathael was at his desk, his phone buzzing away, he watched it for a moment before. finally deciding to silence the call and slide the phone away, choosing not to engage.

With her calls going unanswered, Maggie was left feeling uncertain and slightly worried.

He had not picked up her calls.

In a bid to reach out, she opened Whatand sent a direct message. 'Are you mad at me?" 3/4 11:37 Sat, 18 May Mu
