Chapter 20 Taking Care Of Yourself Joseph was taken aback for a moment. He hadn't expected such a bold statement from Maggie, who had. always been accommodating.
"What did you say?" The man who had always pretended to be gentle and polite suddenly revealed his true nature, angrily grabbing her wrist.
"Mr. Cameron, even though I am the adopted daughter of the Camerons, it seems you have no right to criticize me." Maggie smiled faintly. Her cold eyes carried a hint of mischievous intrigue, appearing both distant and affectionate.
Unable to break free, she allowed him to hold her and said nonchalantly, "Since you're neither my boyfriend nor my fiancé, it seems irrelevant to you who I associate with, or even if I choose to degrade myself.
Joseph breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
So, she was just throwing a tantrum.
"Maggic. I've told you that once your ties to the Camerons are severed, I will make our relationship public. But it's not the right tyet." Joseph softened his tone, unusually patient in his explanation.
But strangely, even though the woman in front of him was the sas always, he felt that something had changed.
"Mr. Cameron seems to be mistaken. We have nothing to make public." Maggie laughed carelessly. Her face was radiant and captivating.
That's right. She and Joseph had been ambiguously involved for years. Still, he had never expressed his feelings for her, let alone publicly acknowledged their relationship.
She was naive, assuming that childhood sweethearts didn't need to verbalize certain things.

Maggie couldn't help but wonder if Joseph had ever truly loved her in her previous life.
Perhaps he did? But she thought that what he enjoyed more was the pleasure of being adored by her. What he needed. more was a docile and obedient tool.
Perhaps he did like her appearance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to be intimate with her in the first place.
Unfortunately, she wasn't willing at that time.
As a result, Joseph didn't get what he wanted and deliberately distanced himself from her for a while.
Joseph frowned and said, "Maggie, there's a limit to throwing tantrums. Even if you're upset, you shouldn't Balance: 1416 + 79 1 Colos 1 Pearls Maggie smiled and looked at him, asking, “But when I was with Nathael, you clearly said you didn't care. Mentioning this, Joseph's frown deepened. He responded, "What happened with Nathael was not of your own will. It's a different matter." Maggie nodded as if understanding. Then, she looked at Joseph and said, “Letmake it clear. Mr. Cameron and I have always been platonic. We have never had any romantic involvement. In the future, when you're out, please don't associatewith you." "Maggie, what do you mean? Do you know what you're doing? Joseph shouted angrily. He didn't understand what she was up to.
He was naturally upset about the incident with Nathael.
But compared to a woman, he naturally desired more wealth and power. After all, women were all the same.
But that didn't mean he could accept being betrayed by Maggie.
After all, giving her away was one thing, but her betraying him was another! "Who was the man last night? What did you do with him?" Joseph dropped the pretense. His handsface clouded with uncertainty.
Maggie curved her lips, tiptoed to his ear, and laughed, "Of course, it's the kind of thing that men and women do together." Her tone was mocking, as if she was laughing at Joseph for being foolish.
"Maggie!" Joseph shouted angrily, not understanding how the usually obedient and pleasant woman could have changed so much.
Maggie stepped back a few paces, returned to her original position, and laughed, "By the way, I also saw the pictures of you fooling around with Vanessa. I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon." Joseph was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to know about his affair with Vanessa.
That woman was quite attractive and openly seduced him with clear intentions. He was in the mood then, so he decided to have sfun with her.
"How did you know?" Joseph didn't deny it.
Maggie lowered her head to pick up the photo and handed her phone to Joseph.
In the photo, he was pressing Vanessa on the sofa in the club, kissing her. It was not a private room, but they were being quite bold.
Maggie thought Vanessa was going all out.
So, there's a saying: one must have the ability to succeed.
"Vanessa sent it toand made her claim." Maggie lied without hesitation, not intending to let Vanessa off the hook.
Balance: 1416 + 79 A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Joseph's eyes. He quickly explained, "Maggie, we were just fooling around. She was the one who seduced me. You know, I'm a normal man with natural needs. But my relationship with her was nothing more than a casual fling. The position of Mrs. Cameron has always been.
yours." Maggie scoffed and felt as if she had just heard a joke.
It's disgusting. So, all this time, he thought she wanted to be Mrs. Cameron.

"Keep the position of Mrs. Cameron for someone else. I can't handle it.
I'm afraid it would shorten ould shorten my life, e Maggie rejected without hesitation.
At this moment, she suddenly thought that it was quite fortunate that Nathael was incompetent. At least he had integrity. Even though there were srumors, he was clean after all.
"Enough, Mr. Cameron. I won't forget the kindness of the Camerons.
Considering our childhood friendship, Irchit e why don't you giveone last gift at the Folklore Festival?" Maggie spoke softly, not wanting to waste any more twith him. "What should I give?" Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could just spend smoney to appease her and be done with this matter.
"Givefreedom and stay away from me, Maggie curved her eyes and said with a smile.
Joseph's face, which had just relaxed a bit, instantly changed. His patience was running out. He stared at Maggie and slowly uttered, "Maggie, you should seriously consider your decision. You must realize that, given your status, you won't find a better man than me!" Maggie burst into laughter, unable to believe what she was hearing.
Did he even understand the concept of "shame"? "No worries, the young men at the Eclipse Club possess exceptional charm, gentleness, thoughtfulness, and sensibility. They are much better than Mr. Cameron, Maggie replied with her sparkling eyes.
"Maggie, have you lost your mind?" Joseph shouted angrily, unable to accept that the woman who had always been obedient dared to publicly humiliate him.
He never imagined that one day, Maggie would betray him.
He couldn't deny his fondness for her, but unfortunately, she had already slept with Nathael. Even if he stepped back, the Camerons would never allow her to marry him. It was an impossible situation.
However, despite the impossibility, he still couldn't deny his feelings for her.
Maggie smiled and said, "Mr. Cameron, take care of yourself." With that, Maggie turned and left. Joseph's expression changed unpredictably. He said coldly, "Fine, don't regret it!"
