Chapter 142 Can I?

Nathael frowned, clearly annoyed by the interruption to his conversation with Maggie.

The persistent ringing of the doorbell continued until someone finally answered it.

Ill go check who it is,” Nathael said, his eyes briefly flashing with hostility before he regained his composure and walked towards the door.

Maggie quickly grabbed some clothes and put them on. After all, she couldn’t keep staying in a towel.

Before she knew it, the door swung open.

Joseph was momentarily stunned when he saw Nathael’s face, forgetting to speak for a few seconds.

Is this Nathael’s room?

It turns out to be Nathael’s!

But how did Maggie get hold of Nathael’s room key?

His mind was filled with questions.

Nathael was surprised by Joseph’s unexpected visit, his expression growing even colder as he asked, “Mr. Cameron, what brings you here?”

Joseph tried to peek past Nathael into the room behind him, but Nathael’s tall figure blocked his view.

“Is Maggie here?” Joseph finally asked.

Upon hearing his voice, Maggie, who had just finished getting dressed, paused in surprise.

Joseph? That troublemaker again?

How did he even get here?

Oh, I dropped my card during the day.

She hadn’t expected Joseph to stoop so low. He had always been arrogant and self–assured. She thought that after he lowered himself a few times for her and faced setbacks, his pride would prevent him from causing any further trouble.

But it turned out she had overestimated him!

“I’m not obligated to clear things up for you.” Nathael’s expression turned stern, his voice icy. His sharp gaze fell on Joseph, making him feel strangely weak, as if his confidence had suddenly disappeared.

“Maggie is my sister, and she’s also a member of the Camerons family. I certainly have an obligation to know who she’s with.”
