Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 1 Chapter 129 Whatever You Say After her morning classes, Maggie got a call from Joseph.

Joseph and Vanessa had already reached Misk City and planned to visit the designer, Annie, in the afternoon. "Maggie, join us this afternoon. I want to pick out sjewelry for Mom and Grandma. You know their tastes best, so your advice would be great," Joseph said warmly, confident that Maggie wouldn't decline.

And indeed. Maggie had no intention of refusing.

After she had dealt with Shawn, Joseph and Vanessa went on the hunt for new designers for Luster Corporation. Even though the Camerons were stepping back into the jewelry business, they already had designers. However, since they were making a big move, injecting fresh talent was necessary.

So, recruiting renowned foreign designers was a crucial step in Ronald's plan.

"Sure, sendthe details." Joseph was pleased that Maggie agreed.

At 1:00 PM, a sleek Porsche parked in front of the hotel. Joseph was behind the wheel, and Vanessa sat in the passenger seat.

Observing this. Maggie raised an eyebrow.

"Maggie, it's been a while!" Vanessa greeted cheerfully, as if any past issues didn't exist as Maggie joined them in the car and sat in the backseat.

Maggie admired Vanessa's attitude.

Once Maggie was seated, Vanessa spoke again. "Maggie, there's water, drinks, and fruit. Help yourself." Seeing Vanessa play host, Maggie found it amusing.

Not saying much, Maggie noticed Joseph's slight frown as he glanced at Maggie in the rearview mirror. Maggie wore a champagne-colored dress that highlighted her fair skin and natural glow, with her hair casually tousled. Wearing subtle makeup, she emitted a relaxed elegance.

Compared to her, Vanessa appeared to be trying too hard. She worked on every part of her appearance, but although she looked beautiful as well, it felt rigid and boring.

Joseph's gaze lingered on Maggie's face, but she showed no concern, her eyes cool and defiant.

"Maggie, feel free to share your thoughts at the designer's store. Although you might not know much about jewelry, sometimes an outsider's perspective is valuable," Vanessa said with a smile.

In response, Maggie smirked. "I'll have to thank you in advance for asking for my useless input.

1/3 Chapter 129 Whatever You Say She felt that she and Vanessa were part of a sick joke. She studied architecture and taught herself jewelry design, but Vanessa did the sas well.

Naturally. Vanessa's skills were lacking, a fact Maggie preferred not to dwell on.

Well, I'll just let Vanessa put her 'skills' to use at the Camerons, then.

Seeing Maggie's reaction, Vanessa smiled warmly. "No worries. But I thought I'd missed the chance for an exchange program at college and would never get to experience it, but Joseph broughthere. What a Twist of fate! Don't you agree, Maggie?" Leaning back, Maggie replied casually, "You're not wrong. Considering your background, you might've never gotten an opportunity to travel abroad otherwise." Vanessa's expression fell upon hearing that. She didn't expect Maggie to speak so harshly.

"You're right. It's understandable that you would look down on my family. Anyway, I should thank Joseph. I wouldn't have gotten this chance if it weren't for him.” Vanessa sighed lightly, appearing a bit hurt.

Maggie smirked as she glanced at the European-style buildings outside. "So, you should choose a good family in your next life." Vanessa's face flushed with anger when she observed Maggie's carefree expression.

But sitting in the front, she couldn't keep turning to look at Maggie. She couldn't muster a smile after having those insults hurled at her.

Joseph, would you mind my background? I can't compare to you, but I've always wanted to catch up. I can't change the family I was born in, but I..." Tears welled up in Vanessa's eyes as she choked up, looking at Joseph.

Maggie interrupted, "He won't. He doesn't have high standards. Otherwise, he wouldn't have slept with you." Her words insulted both of them.

Joseph slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden halt with a loud screech.

His discomfort was evident, as he was not used to being spoken to like that.

Of course, it wasn't like he could call the shots like Nathael and Jimmy could just because of his ties to the Camerons.

It was about the innate masculinity and heroism ingrained in most men. When confronted with women they couldn't challenge, equal, or dominate, they would typically withdraw and maintain their distance.

"Maggie, what do you mean?" Joseph's voice was cold, his expression sour.

Maggie chuckled as she met his gaze with a sly smile. "I meant what I said. Do you have an issue with it?" Joseph was lost for words, 11:47 Sat, 18 May Chapter 129 Whatever You Say He had simply made a mistake any man would make; he hadn't expected Maggie to react so strongly.

Maggie didn't care what he thought. She felt it was perfect timing for him and Vanessa to show up, especially when she was frustrated with Nathael's antics. They could be my punching bags.

This just proves that life is fair! Why else would such a good thing happen? 78%

"Maggie, don't be mad at Joseph. It was my fault. I've always loved him, so if you want to blsomeone, ve blme... It's all on me. I'm sorry for what I've done to you. I'll make it up to you; I'll do anything your say, as long as you don't blJoseph." Vanessa seized the opportunity to speak, clutching Joseph's sleeve as she did so.

Maggie let out a scornful laugh, her gaze distant and icy.

You know what? Why don't you get m out of the car and jog to our destination? That should settle things. If you do that. I'll let bygones be bygones. I'll even wish you a bright future as a rich lady: How does that sound?" Maggie's words left Vanessa utterly bewildered.

I never thought Maggie would transform into this....

Our plan for the day is to visit designer Annie's exclusive boutique in a distant small town, which is a 90- minute drive away.

Does Maggie really expectto jog there? She must be crazy, askingto jog to this unfamiliar location in a foreign land! "Maggie, what do you takefor? Don't you think that's crossing a line?" Vanessa asked slowly as she stared at her, wearing an aggrieved expression, Maggie smirked mischievously. "You said you'd do anything I said. I was just taking you up on it.” Send Gifts
