Chapter 69 Take It or Leave It Maggie was taken aback. She hesitated for a moment before blushing and saying, "Mr. Harris, watch manner! your Without waiting for his response, Maggie turned and headed back to the villa.
Nathael pursed his lips, and there was joy in his eyes. Then, his gaze darkened for sreason.
While carrying breakfast upstairs, Maggie accidentally bumped into Joseph. He was rushing downstairs at the time. The food in Maggie's hands was knocked onto the stairs.
Half of the coffee was spilled, but the croissants were barely salvageable.
Maggie frowned. She was unable to conceal her distaste.
The croissant from GaStreet? From who?" Joseph immediately recognized them and felt oddly dissatisfied.
Worried that she might lose her temper, Maggie refrained from speaking and simply squatted down to pick up the food.
However, Joseph wasn't sensible. He squatted down and stopped her. He coldly remarked, "The man from last night?" Avoiding his touch, Maggie looked up at him and sneered, “Aren't you nosy? Why are you so worried about my business? Or you have nothing to do and enjoy acting cheap after losing me?" "Maggie, I admit my past mistakes." Before Joseph could finish, he noticed Maggie picking up a tube of ointment on the floor. Both of their gazes froze simultaneously.
Maggie examined the ointment in her hand and wondered, Anti-inflammatory and pain relief ointment? She was bewildered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOh no! She screamed in her head.
Nathael actually bought her this; her butt wasn't swollen.
Maggie was furious. Her cheeks burned with embarrassment. She considered this a great humiliation.
Nathael did it intentionally! He must have done it on purpose! Joseph snatched the ointment from her hand. He naturally assumed it was a pain reliever after they got intimate. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes as he chided, "Where did you go last night? Did you visit Leo? Did you sleep with him?" Maggie grabbed the ointment back and tossed it into the paper bag. She stood up, faced him, and said, "Yes, I slept with him! I slept with him a long tago! Do I need to prove it to you for you to believe it?" Joseph's expression darkened. He never truly believed that Maggie would engage in such behavior.

Maggie carried the breakfast back to her room. Her previously good mood was gone due to the ominous. presence of Joseph.
After freshening up, she gazed at the croissant and the remaining coffee. She felt somewhat distracted. How foolish was she in her past life to believe that Joseph genuinely cared for her? Reflecting on it now, he knew she enjoyed the croissant from GaStreet, but he never purchased it for her.
The soft and tender pastry melted in her mouth, with a slightly crispy base. The rich chocolate burst inside her mouth. It was incredibly delicious.
Maggie contentedly closed her eyes and savored the familiar taste.
She glanced up and saw the ointment Nathael had sent. She pursed her lips and hummed softly.
This is the evidence! The undeniable evidence that he had committed a crtoward me! The ointment was originally packaged in a separate bag, but it fell out after the collision with Joseph.
How embarrassing! In the morning, a meeting on the economic development of Aquapolis was held as scheduled. Nathael rarely arrived early at the scene.
After exchanging pleasantrie smile, it seemed forced.
Joseph entered the venue with a dark expression. Despite his efforts to Noticing this, Nathael smirked. His dark pupils reflected his good mood.
Tsk! Well, well, he had seen the breakfast I delivered.
Jimmy followed his friend's gaze and joked, “Tsk! Speople are in high spirits; others are feeling down and lonely." Nathael raised his glass and took a sip. He remained silent, his eyes as black as ink.
Meanwhile, in Sierra's room.
She pleaded with Olivia all morning. “Mom, please letgo out. I have a way to make amends and help our family regain the Herschire Cultural Park project." "Your grandpa told you to stay put. You shouldn't have caused any trouble recently. It's best to stay at hand behave, Olivia said hesitantly.
12:45 Thu, 16 May Chapter 69 Take It or Leave It As long as I get the drawings, the Herschire Cultural Park project can still be salvaged," Sierra pleaded desperately.
"But Maggie already said that the Calebs project..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mom! Am I your daughter, or is that illegitimate child your child? She has causedso much ham. Grandpa treatsso badly. Don't you think I wouldn't want to make up for it? I'm just asking for a chance.
Think about it; if we get the drawings, at best the drawings and plans may dpa will naturally know not work, Grandpa will if they are feasible when he takes a glance at them. As long as you subsidieswith half of the money, I can tell Grandpa that I bought the drawings back at a low price." Sierra's words touched Olivia.
Her daughter was right; Sierra was her child. Naturally, Olivia couldn't bear to see her suffer. She got another point right; aside from this huge sum of money, there didn't seem to be much to lose.
1.5 million dollars was a huge amount, but if she could make up for Sierra's previous mistakes, she was willing to pay.
"You must chbefore noon. Otherwise, your grandpa will find out," Olivia reminded her anxiously. She gaye Sierra a card and said, "There's 1.5 million dollars in the card; it's my money. Don't tell anyone.
"Mom, I knew you were the best for me!" Ten in the morning, Panaroma Hotel..
Sierra waited for a long time. Leo arrived unhurriedly.
Sitting down in his chair, Leo casually glanced at the bruised woman in front of him. He said softly, "Ms. Sierra, what can I do for you?" Sierra went straight to the point and handed the card to Leo. She said, "There's 1.5 million dollars in here. I want to buy the Calebs' design proposal and plans for the Herschire Cultural Park." Leo chuckled lightly and replied nonchalantly, "I'm sorry, but the price has gone un Sierra was stunned. She wasn't expecting this outcome. Sierra frowned and asked, "How much do you want?" 3 million," Leo said, his eyes locking onto hers. He still maintained a polite demeanor, but with a cold and distant gaze that was hard to approach.
"Aren't these light robberies? You only asked Maggie for 1.5 million dollars, but you're raising the price. Isn't that against business ethics?* Sierra was visibly upset.
Leo chuckled. “1.5 million dollars was a special price for Ms. Adam, but do we have any relationship?" Sierra struggled to contain her rage, but she knew she needed his help. She forced herself to speak politely, "Can you lower the price? 3 million is too much for me." Leo remained cold and indifferent. He said bluntly, "3 million! Take it or leave it!"
