Chapter 366 I Canโt Believe This
Sierra quickly opened Twitter and saw her name trending at the top.
Clicking on it, she found a photo of her and Ivan from yesterday posted online. Though the sensitive parts were blurred, their faces were clear.
The comments were harsh.
โWow, I canโt believe this! Theyโre fifteen years apart, right? Doing this under the guise of learning the piano is gross!โ
โMy eyes are burning! Now I get why some say Ivan is helping Sierra so much. It turns out theyโre sleeping together.โ
โThis is so shocking. I wish I had never seen the picture; I feel dirty now!โ
โSo Sierraโs awards were earned this way, through her skills in bed. Wow.โ
โTag Cameron Groupโs account! Do they know about this, or is high society just this messy?โ
โWho are these two, especially Sierra? Sheโs always on my feed. Iโm tired of seeing her!โ
โIs there an uncensored version?โ
โSierra, jump off a building! Youโve disgraced our top university! Youโre disgusting!โ
The comment section was flooded with insults. Sierra was trembling with anger. She tried to reply to the comments several times but couldnโt do it.
Ronald was equally surprised. He stood up angrily and kicked the coffee table.
โLook at what youโve done!โ he yelled furiously.
He thought he couldnโt get any angrier, but clearly, he was wrong.
Oliviaโs heart sank, and she was unable to speak for a while. All she could think was, Itโs over! Itโs all over now!
Both siblings faced a similar outcome. Joseph could handle it better, but Sierraโs life was probably ruined.
At that moment, Ronaldโs phone rang again.
He checked the caller ID and found that it was Kehlani. Ronald answered with a stern expression, โMrs. Burton, are you calling now to make things worse?โ
โMr. Cameron, you misunderstood. Iโm calling to explain. I swear on my life that those photos werenโt leaked by our family, and we never sent them to anyone!โ
Though Kehlani sounded serious, there was a hint of gloating.
But what she said was true. While she had thought about getting back at Sierra, it wasnโt the right time. She and Ivanโs divorce matters werenโt settled yet; they had to wait a while longer.
โWell, thank you for explaining, Mrs. Burton,โ Ronald replied curtly, clearly displeased with the call.
Kehlani continued, โIf itโs not us, we wonโt take the blame. Mr. Cameron, I believe you can find out the truth. Perhaps you should ask Ms. Cameron if anyone else knows about this.โ
Ronald hung up the phone abruptly.
This time, Sierra cried her eyes out. Even though she was usually immature, she understood the seriousness of the situation.
The thing she had been fearing finally came true.
How would I show my face now!
โTake her upstairs, and donโt let her leave the room without my say-so!โ Ronald commanded, giving Olivia a warning glance.
โItโs Maggieโฆ It has to be that awful Maggie! Why wonโt you believe me? Sheโs out to get our family! Youโll see. Youโll regret it!โ Sierra yelled hysterically as she was dragged upstairs.
Her hair was a mess, with tears running down her face.
There was no trace of the elegant appearance she had before.
The next day, Maggie slept in until noon. The sunlight seeped through the curtains, warming her up and making her feel cosy.
Nathael was already awake, and Maggie stayed in bed for a while.
It wasn't until she checked her phone that she saw several messages from Mia, revealing that Sierra and Ivanโs scandal had been exposed online.
Maggie was taken aback for a moment, not anticipating it.
But upon thinking about it, she realised it was probably leaked by Draco and the others; unsure of Nathaelโs feelings, they had to try extra hard to please him.
They could do that by ruining the lives of those who upset him.
After thinking it over, Maggie realised the timing was almost right. Sierra had been facing obstacles at every turn and dealing with continuous setbacks; she must be filled with anger and grievances.
And this anger and resentment would eventually turn into hatred, needing an outlet.
Clearly, Maggie, the one who had taken away Sierraโs love, destroyed her happiness, and snatched her championship, would be the prime target.
After pondering for a while, Maggie got up, got ready, and left.
Nathael hadnโt gone to her study; it was messy, with lots of sketches and sheet music scattered around. The desktop computer and laptop were also turned on.
She guessed he didnโt want to mess with her things or had nowhere to sit, so he was currently using the computer at the dining table.
Two large suitcases on the floor had already been neatly packed and set aside. Maggie couldnโt help but remember how she had thrown things around last night and felt a bit embarrassed.
โYouโre up. I made salad. Want some?โ Nathael heard her and spoke softly.
Seeing he was still in his shirt, Maggie couldnโt help but ask, โDid you go out this morning?โ
โYeah, I went to the company.โ
Maggie hugged his neck and sat on his lap. โYouโve been working hard.โ
Nathael hugged her waist, leaned down to kiss her lips, and said in a deep voice, โYouโre almost graduating. What are your plans after?โ
Maggie was stunned for a moment before realising the New Year was coming.
After New Yearโs, it would be the last semester, with few school-related matters left. Apart from her thesis, she had to continue her internship. If her previous internships went well, she might sign a formal contract after the New Year.
In her previous life, she naturally went straight to Cameron Groupโs company and worked for the Camerons. Even though Ronald gave her nothing but problems and marginal companies to handle, she had still worked hard to build up the company.
In this lifeโฆ
Maggie looked at her study, bathed in sunlight. The study had a simple and rustic feel with warm wooden decor. The sketches and shelves with jewellery accessories were scattered all around.
That was everything she loved.
She could spend all day there. Although her neck and shoulders would ache terribly, she never found it dull or boring.
โI havenโt decided yet, but Mia, Leo, and I started a jewellery company before. Maybe Iโll work there,โ Maggie said warmly.
Upon hearing this, Nathael abandoned his plan for her to join his jewellery company and simply said, โAs long as youโre doing what you love.โ
Maggie couldnโt help but hold his cheeks and squeeze them slightly as she looked at his defined and handsome face. Seeing his puffy cheeks, she couldnโt help but smile, then she leaned down and kissed his lips.
Nathaelโs so wonderfulโฆ How could I bear to break up with him?
