Chapter 100 She Is Mine
Ericko never expected that it was because of Maggie, nor did he expect that what happened at that night would be known to Nathael so quickly.
However, when thinking about it, it shouldn’t be surprising.
Nathael had talked to him about the Chronopolis project before, only saying that it might not work out. Ericko didn’t ask for the reasons. Their friendship over the years wouldn’t be ruined by a project.
Later, he heard that Nathael might choose the Camerons, and the reason behind it was because of a
woman.
At that time, Ericko thought this woman was a suitable means. He didn’t expect that she would become his sister in just over a month.
Ericko’s gentle eyes didn’t change much, but he felt a little proud.
No wonder she had such skills. Oh, it’s Maggie, so it’s not surprising.
Nana also had this skill. Many boys fought for her in the courtyard when she was young.
Seeing Ericko staring at the photo for a long time, Nathael’s eyes darkened even more, and the suppressed anger resurfaced.
In a few seconds, Ericko composed himself, returned the phone to him, and asked softly, “What rong?”
Nathael’s eyes were cold as he stared at him and asked, “Do you like her?”
Ericko remained calm. He met Nathael’s gaze without hesitation, then uttered two words, “I do.”
Jimmy casually watched the excitement on the side, his enchanting face full of cynicism.
Nathael furrowed his brow. “I haven’t heard you mention that before.”
Ericko didn’t answer the question but looked at Nathael with a probing gaze. “Maggie is the person you
like.
It wasn’t a question but a statement.
He had heard that several projects Nathael had given up seemed related to a woman. Although Nathael did it discreetly, there would always be some rumors spread in this circle.
He hadn’t paid much attention to it before, but he never expected that Nathael would want to be his brother–in–law?
Honestly, Ericko didn’t think there was anything wrong with Nathael.
However, Nathael was a calculating and deep–minded person. If Maggie was with him, she might end up with nothing left.
Well, no matter what, Nathael was still better than Jimmy, who was unpredictable and ruthless.
Hearing Maggie’s name was ear–piercing to him. Nathael chuckled coldly, his black eyes staring at Ericko

Ericko smiled, looking him up and down. “Why didn’t you snatch her when she was with Joseph?”
Nathael curled his lips; his gaze was menacing. “How do you know I didn’t snatch her?”
Hearing this, Ericko didn’t say any words. He nodded and said, “Then let’s see who wins.”
With that, before Nathael could speak again, he turned and left.
Yes, he had no intention of explaining his relationship with Maggie. Since he had been punched for no reason, he would want some interest in return.
After Ericko left, Nathael withdrew his gaze, lit a cigarette, and held it in his mouth. His eyes were dark and gloomy; he felt depressed.
Before he could figure out about Joseph, Ericko came.
She really couldn’t sit still for a moment!
Thinking about Ericko’s words, Nathael’s eyes grew even darker. He had considered trying to win her, but how could he succeed?
With this thought, a hint of self–mockery flashed in Nathael’s eyes.
It seemed like she had a deep aversion to him. No matter what he did, it was always wrong. Instead of trying, he might not do anything.
He initially thought that if she was happy with Joseph, then so be it. He tried hard not to inquire about her or anything else, thinking it would be better to just watch her happiness from afar.
However, she kept appearing in front of him every now and then..
Nathael was reluctant to admit it, but his subconscious actions always aligned with his heart’s desires, even though he hadn’t consciously tried to win her over.
For example, he had intentionally disrupted Cameron’s projects multiple times, hoping she would seek
him out.
He deliberately did not clarify the night at the hotel, aiming to prick her heart like a thorn and establish a
connection.
Even after discovering Vanessa’s existence, he continued to play a role behind the scenes.
While he knew he hadn’t done much, things unfolded unexpectedly.
Each decision appeared selfless and justifiable, but a human’s heart and desires cannot deceive people.
It was merely self–deception.
However, flaws in Maggie relationship with Joseph gave him a glimmer of hope.
He couldn’t bear to let her go after experiencing her tenderness
He would rather sink in it forever, even if it was all an illusion.
Taking a deen drap of his cigarette. Nathael looked um with clear eves.
Chapter 100 She Is Mine
Jimmy stood beside him, whispering, “Don’t take it too seriously. Ericko is going too far. I’ve never seen any relationship between him and Maggie.
Nathael fell silent before slowly admitting. “I have seen it.”
At Master Adan’s birthday banquet, Maggie was present and chatting happily with Ericko.-
Jimmy paused, then asked while smiling, “But why are you fixated on Maggie? There are plenty of other women out there.”
The woman beside Jimmy leaned in, adding. “That’s right, Mr. Harris. There are plenty of fish in the sea. What kind of woman are you interested in? I can introduce you to someone.”
Nathael remained silent, causing Jimmy to turn his
gaze.
He pushed the woman to the floor. His once gentle expression was replaced by a cold, ruthless demeanor: his beautiful peach– blossom eyes became gloomy. “Who do you think you are? When did I give you the right to interrupt me?”
The smile on the man’s face with red lips and white teeth was gone. All that was left was his evil tendencies. His ruthless and domineering attitude made the woman ignore her scratched palm and tremble.
“I apologize, Mr. Hansen, I was out of line… I will never talk nonsense again!” Not long ago, she was proud to be Jimmy’s companion, but all that was left to her was fear.
Jimmy was always a challenging companion. Despite his frivolous attitude, he was ruthless and bossy on the inside.
Moreover, he was temperamental and had a notoriously terrible temper. At one second, he would oftent chat with you over wine, then in the next second, he would become ruthless and turn your table over on the spot.
Even so, countless women liked him. So, there were always women around him.
“Get out!” Jimmy’s lost his patience. He only felt annoyed when he saw that face.
“Mr. Hansen, I… “The woman was a little unwilling and wanted to say something. But, the next moment, she trembled when she met the ruthless peach–blossom eyes. Then, she choked and unwillingly left.
She knew the situation wouldn’t get any better if she stayed.
After she’s gone, Nathael and Jimmy resume their conversation.
Nathael chuckled self–depreciatingly and asked solemnly. “With so many women around, why can’t you forget Maggie?”
