Chapter 259 Shifting the Blame

Nathael’s declaration sent shockwaves through the crowd, leaving Ronald momentarily stunned.

But soon, he snapped out of his trance. Joy spread across Ronald’s face, only to slowly fade, replaced by a solemn expression.

The attention of others shifted to Nathael and Maggie as the realization settled in like a tidal wave.

This man was the heir to the Harrises!

For years, there had been virtually no gossip about his personal life, let alone any mention of a woman by

his side.

What were they witnessing today?

In their lifetimes, they had never imagined they would see Nathacl publicly declare his affection. It seemed so unbelievable that some doubted their own ears.

While some pondered the immediate implications, others considered the long–term consequences.

Maggie’s years of devoted service to the Camerons were well known, despite her adoption from an orphanage.

At the time, the Camerons found themselves in a perilous situation.

The newfound ties between Maggie and Nathael led some to wonder if Luster Corporation might see a revival from the brink.

Upon hearing Nathael’s proclamation, Beth was momentarily dazed.

Her mind went blank as his words replayed over and over in her mind, where he said, ‘I love Maggie; she’s been the only one I ever love.

The words reverberated in her mind like a surround sound system, impossible to ignore.

Despite Beth’s efforts to maintain her composure, tears welled up in her eyes almost instinctively.
