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.

Maybe it stemmed from his tight bond with Ericko, making him recognize Ericko’s superiority over Joseph. It might also be due to how close they were, leaving him unable to bear the thought of someone else taking his place.

Or perhaps it was just pure envy and anger.

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.
