Chapter 221 You Know How
“Mary, didn’t you hear what Mr. Harris said?” Ronald’s tone sharpened, avoiding Mary’s gaze.
It had been a while since he felt so powerless against someone’s influence.
Tears filled Mary’s eyes. Before she could respond, Joseph intervened, unable to stay silent. “Mr. Harris, aren’t you taking this too far?”
Maggie nearly chuckled at Joseph’s comment.
Now he’s acting all sympathetic?
Il’here was his compassion when Sierra blinded me and left me scarred
Where was his pity when he used me and strapped explosives to my body?
How ridiculous!
The biggest joke in the world!
Nathael locked eyes with Joseph. His gaze was sharp and dangerous, like a concealed blade, suppressing its hostility.
Joseph shivered, instinctively wanting to retreat.
He forced himself to meet Nathael’s stare, tension thick in the air,
After a pause, Nathael smirked, a cruel glint in his eyes. “If you want to do it on her behalf, be my guest.”
Ronald’s heart sank further at those words.
Master Cameron couldn’t stay silent any longer
They knew about Nathael’s reputation. He wasn’t necessarily going after the Camerons; it was just their bad luck.
hathard
Maggie’s voice was soft, as if she was unsure of what to do.
Upon hearing this, Joseph didn’t utter a word. Ronald, however, spoke in a frosty tone, “Mary, since you’ve made a mistake, you should own up to it. Don’t let your momentary lapse in judgment harm the child.”
Ronald’s statement had a hidden meaning; ‘child‘ referred to both Joseph and Mary’s child.
Ronald and Master Cameron couldn’t stand to see Joseph troubled, let alone their treasured heir losing face.
Thus, Mary found herself in the position of sacrifice
Mary’s eyes were teary, and her hands were clenched tightly at her sides, showing her effort to control herself.

If Nathael’s anger wasn’t resolved today, it wouldn’t just affect the Camerons; it would also impact her future.
Maggie glanced towards Joseph, meeting his gaze.
Joseph’s expression was complicated as he looked at Maggie.
Despite this, Maggie smiled back at him.
It’s easy to ignore others‘ suffering until you experience it yourself. Joseph wanted to defend Mary and be a good person, but he remained silent once the focus shifted to him.
The Camerons portrayed themselves as moral and righteous, but in reality, they lacked integrity and courage.
Mary pleaded with her father with her eyes, hoping for his support.
Unfortunately, Master Cameron avoided her gaze as he poured a cup of tea for Nathael. The sound of water pouring into the cup grated on their cars in the quiet room.
Mary’s heart sank as she stared at the shattered glass on the floor. Eventually, she kneeled down and picked up the broken pieces with her hands.
Nathael remained unaffected, watching the older woman humiliated before him with cold eyes.
Maggie stole a glance at Nathael’s profile. At that moment, he seemed unfamiliar to her.
Nathael seemed distant and serious, showing no pleasure from revenge or any sign of irritation.
Maggie felt a bit disoriented, her mind wandering off.
Noticing her gaze, Nathael turned to her, his voice deep. “What’s on your mind?” he asked.
Maggie whispered, Tm trying to figure out how to make you happy.”
When Maggie said this, Ronald and Master Cameron glanced over, while Joseph’s sight had never left her.
Nathael smiled slightly, his dark eyes reflecting her image. He murmured, “You know how.”
Maggie fell silent, uncertain if she had misinterpreted. A blush rose to her cheeks as she awkwardly looked.
away.
What the hell, Nathael?!
Just a moment ago, she honestly felt that there was nothing she could do to make him happy.
“Ahh!”
Mary’s scream snapped Maggie back to reality, and she looked at the woman with tears streaming down
her face.
Mary had slipped and sat on the floor, her fingers stained with bright red blood. Glass shards, obviously stuck in her flesh, reflected the light.
“Ronald
Mary instinctively looked un tears already welling in her eves.

Ronald glanced at Nathael’s expression. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he said softly, “Don’t stop.
With those two words, Mary burst into tears, “Ronald!”
Her voice turned sharp as she looked at Maggie with resentment and hatred.
Meeting her gaze, Maggie softly suggested, “Nathael, maybe we should just forget it. Aunt Mary didn’t mean to target you.”
Nathael remained silent, only giving Ronald a glance, clearly a bit displeased.
Ronald could only smile apologetically. “Maggie, you don’t need to defend your aunt anymore. She’s been too arrogant lately. If she doesn’t learn a lesson, she’ll cause trouble sooner or later.”
Maggie kept quiet, feeling secretly elated. This was the first time she experienced the joy of having a powerful ally.
Mary kneeled on the ground, tears in her eyes as she picked up the scattered glass shards.
Some were big enough to handle, but the smaller ones often pricked her hands when she wasn’t paying attention.
The more Mary picked, the more embarrassed she felt, especially with everyone watching
How am I supposed to face Maggie now? And what would the servants think of me?
Before long. Mary’s hands were covered in bloodstains, her face streaked with tears.
Maggie watched silently, her eyes filled with coldness.
She couldn’t help but feel that Nathael was going too far.
Bullying someone in their own home feels wrong, no matter how I look at it.
But why am I feeling so strangely excited?
In our past lives, no one in the Camerons was innocent in the tragedy involving me and Nathael.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, Mary couldn’t take it anymore. She covered her face with her blood- stained fingers as she cried and ran out,
Ronald then turned to Nathael and said, “Mr. Harris, your relationship with Maggie is good news. I’m really sorry about what happened today. I hope you can forgive us.”
Nathael’s expression softened slightly as he replied in a deep voice, “To be honest, I disrupted the plans of Luster Corporation first, Mr. Cameron. So you don’t have to apologize.”
