Chapter 269 1 Thought She Had Some Backbone
“Mr. Harris. I get it, alright? I messed up big time. I didn’t do this on purpose! I fell for my sister’s prank. I was being stupid and took it way too seriously!”
Sierra choked up, knowing full well that the guy in front of her was not Master Cameron and that he would not go easy on her.
Moreover, she did not have Olivia and Ronald to bail her out.
However, Nathael was not interested in hearing her excuses. He glanced at his watch, his tone icy. “You’ve got thirty seconds,”
Sierra’s heart skipped a beat, the pain from the slap still throbbing in her checks, cars, and everywhere
clse.
She never imagined her much–anticipated visit would crash and burn like this.
What should I do?
What should I do?
Despite being naive and spiteful, Sierra was not dumb.
She knew she could not harm herself, and if Nathael was not satisfied with her actions, it would all be for nothing.
Plus, with her reputation in tatters and so many eyes on her today, humiliating herself again would be
unbearable.
But maybe… Maggie!
If Maggie spoke up for her, perhaps Nathael would let her off the hook.
Sierra’s eyes welled up with tears as she frantically fumbled for her phone, gasping. “My sister! I need to call my sister! She loves me the most, she’ll understand!”
Nathael observed her silently and wondered if Maggie was already asleep.
Does she also feel as horrible as me?
Sierra desperately searched for Maggie’s number, but Maggie, along with Mia and Joyce, was too drunk to hear the phone ringing.
Moreover, given their past issues with Sierra, Maggie would not pick up even if she saw her call.
After three failed attempts, Sierra still could not reach Maggie.
Sierra had never felt so powerless. She was overwhelmed by shock and fear, unable to calm down.
Nathael’s patience wore thin, assuming Maggie would not show up tonight.
“Ethan, handle it,” Nathael muttered in a low voice, losing interest in the situation.

“Dad! Please help me! Find Maggie and tell her to talk to Mr. Harris!”
Sierra sobbed, her voice trembling with fear and desperation.
Receiving Sierra’s distressed call late at night, Ronald’s mood was not the best, but her crying instantly. caught his attention.
Take a deep breath. Tell me what’s going on,” Ronald urged, his brow furrowing as he sensed something
amiss
However, before Sierra could explain, Ethan intervened, seizing her hair and delivering a harsh slap.
“Dad! I’m at Crimson Grovel Crimson Grovel
Sierra’s scream pierced the air, filled with terror.
As he listened to the busy tone on the phone, Ronald furrowed his brow. Olivia, by his side, also noticed the commotion. “What’s happening? Is something wrong with Sierra?”
“It seems to involve Mr. Harris and Maggie. Let’s go check it out first. You come with me, try calling Maggie and see if she answers. Ask her to come over,” Ronald instructed.
Meanwhile, Sierra’s vision had turned black. She desperately cried out as Ethan approached again, “I’ll do it myself! I’ll do it!”
Ethan’s strength and experience in fighting made even a gentle touch from him overpowering for Sierra.
She collapsed to the ground, slowly lifting her hand.
At that moment, she could not care less about the onlookers; all she wanted was for this nightmare to end.
Nathael’s gaze remained dark, his demeanour detached as if he were merely a spectator.
Jimmy arched an eyebrow, appearing uninterested, and remarked softly. “For someone so arrogant, I thought she had some backbone, but it seems a few slaps were enough to scare her.”
“Indeed.” Nathael replied with indifference.
Little did Nathael know that in a previous life, this statement rang true for Maggie.
With her meticulous planning, she had successfully blinded Maggie and scarred her face, showcasing her high level of skill.
Sierra’s eyes went blank as she closed her eyes, swallowed the metallic taste of blood in her throat, and finally mustered the courage to slap herself in the face.
That vile b*tch Maggie!
Everything that happened today was all because of her!
Every suffering, every stroke of misfortune, every blow Sierra endured over the past year was directly linked to Maggie.
Sierra vowed to exact her revenge tenfold!
Mon, 27 May.

The commotion caught the attention of the night manager. Moses Serpentine, who swiftly intervened to calm the situation, politely offering assistance.
Secing someone approaching. Sierra’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope.
Can someone please save me?
Unfortunately, to Sierra’s dismay, Moses refrained from intervening, especially after learning the whole story. He even silently cursed her ill fate.
What rotten luck!
How could he come across such a woman with such a twisted mind who dared to insult Mr. Harris openly and call him a gigolo?
Not even an ordinary man could tolerate this, fet alone Nathacl.
“Mr. Harris, please, stay calm. Today, your expenses and Mr. Hansen’s are on me. This woman has no respect for boundaries; she’s not worth your sympathy. However, if word of this incident reaches the boss’s ears. I fear I won’t escape unscathed, Moses voiced his concerns.
Jimmy dismissed him with a wave of his hand, saying, “That’s enough. This is none of your business. Run along now,
Relieved. Moses let out a sigh, dreading the thought of offending these influential figures and facing the
consequences.
He then glanced down at Sierra on the ground and shook his head inwardly.
He was unlucky to meet such a bringer of misfortune.
Sierra mechanically slapped herself ten times, stalling for time until Ronald and Olivia finally arrived.
They did not have to put in much effort to find Sierra this time. After all, although most of the nightclubs were still lively as usual, it was obvious as there were many onlookers gathering in a certain area in the
center.
Pushing through the onlookers, Ronald and Olivia spotted Sierra. Her hair was disheveled, and her body. was covered in dirt and blood. Moreover, her cheeks were swollen.
Olivia’s eyes filled with tears as she rushed forward, “Sierra, what happened?”
At the sound of her mother’s voice, Sierra snapped out of her daze and flung herself into Olivia’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably, “Mom! Mom! It’s that b*tch Maggie! She…She set me up!”
Witnessing this heart–wrenching scene, Ronald’s expression darkened with anger.
Despite Sierra’s shortcomings, she was still his daughter, a Cameron.
And now, she had endured such humiliation!
“What’s going on here, Mr. Harris?” Ronald demanded, struggling to contain his fury.

Nathael sneered, his sharp gaze locked on Ronald as he authoritatively suggested, “Mr. Cameron, why not bring in Mr. Serpentines
Prompted by the mention, Moses advanced, his tone icy as he detailed the events.
As Ronald absorbed the account, his self–assurance faltered, his expression souring and tinged with disdain when he looked At Sierra.
How could I have fathered such a naive daughter?
How dare she disrespect Nathael like that?
Even if this got to Master Harris‘ ears, he won’t rebuke Nathael.
She even mistook him for a gigolo and wanted to insult him with money.
How preposterous!
And her audacity to belittle Maggie right in front of Nathael?
No matter his personal feelings toward Maggie, Nathael had defended her at the event, and here Sierra was insulting her openly.
This is not just an affront to Maggie but a direct insult to Nathael!
Furthermore, Sierra had dared to use her own and the Camerons‘ stature to smear Nathael’s name. causing Ronald’s heart to tighten with distress.
Olivia, slightly distanced from Moses in the bustling evening, caught only parts of the discussion.
Yet, these fragments were enough to capture the essence of the conversation.
She gazed down at Sierra cradled in her arms, her frustration mounting over Sierra’s continued defiance.
Once merely spoiled and willful, what had become of her now?
Should this persist, Sierra might not only tarnish her own reputation but also bring trouble upon herself and Joseph.
Ronald swiftly softened his approach, conceding, “I’m sorry, Mr. Harris. The fault is mine for not raising my daughter properly, leading to this misunderstanding and your discomfort. Please, consider her youth and pardon her.”
Nathael stayed calm, quietly lighting a cigarette as he continued.
Standing at the center of the booth, Ronald felt the weight of public humiliation pressing down on him.
At fifty, and a notable figure in Aquapolis, he was accustomed to respectful exchanges. Now, he was subjected to a very public disgrace..
Nathael’s silence deepened Ronald’s sense of shame.
