Chapter 353 Noah’s Suspicious Demeanour
Maggie found her stream of consciousness disrupted as she glimpsed a notification on her phone.
It originated from Nathael: ‘Have you completed watching the show? Step outside.’
‘You’re here?
Maggie responded, taken aback. Her intention had been to remain overnight, yet amidst the tumult enveloping the Camerons, she questioned whether anyone would acknowledge her presence.
Yeah.

Following a firm response, Maggie cast a glance at Olivia and Sierra, who were seated in the living room, tears streaming down their faces. She comprehended that her presence would go unnoticed if she lingered, rendering her stay futile..
After deliberation, Maggie discreetly departed, intending to devise an explanation at a later time. As Maggie removed her coat in the car, she couldn’t resist inquiring. “What brought you here?” Nathael clasped her hand firmly, his demeanour composed as he responded, “I missed you.” Maggie grinned and drew nearer to him, inquiring, “To what extent did you miss me?”
With a lowered gaze, Nathael uttered slowly. “Does watching the show hold greater significance to you than our connection?”
Maggie hastened to reassure him, “No, it’s not merely for amusement. This caught me completely off guard!”
A cold chuckle escaped Nathael, evidently unconvinced by her explanation.
“Tomorrow’s competition is looming, and considering Sierra’s latest predicament, it’s wiser for you to leave,” he advised.
Maggie nodded in response, recognising the sound reasoning behind his suggestion.
Sierra’s current emotional state was precarious, with her tendencies towards impulsivity and ruthlessness. Despite one’s vigilance, the possibility remained that she might recklessly embroil others in her affairs.
Reflecting on the day’s events, Maggie relayed a brief account to Nathael.
“The swift acquiescence from Noah caught me off guard,” she reminisced about her departure, recalling how he was summoned to the study room by Ronald, sparking suspicions of potential collusion between
them.
Regrettably, the listening device Maggie had planted in Ronald’s study room during her previous visit had been discovered and removed when opportunity arose.
It was evident that Ronald had grown wary of her, evident in his behaviour. Moreover, he had taken to alternating between several disused rooms upstairs, rendering it arduous for her to intercept any valuable information. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Judging by his modus operandi, he will undoubtedly demand repayment from the Burtons, and even
more.”
Nathael’s statement caused a flutter in Maggie’s heart.
In a sudden epiphany, she recalled a crucial detail that had slipped her mind. Aside from their legitimate revenue streams, the Camerons also engaged in numerous clandestine ventures.
These included high–interest lending practices and covert dealings concealed within certain Cameron- owned clubs.
These operations remained largely hidden from her within the Camerons, as each member maintained discretion regarding such matters, leaving Noah as the primary overseer.
Currently, the Camerons faced financial hardship, their legitimate revenue streams yielding scant returns. This left them with little choice but to lean on Noah for sustenance.
Observing her thoughts drifting in that direction, Nathael spoke with a soft tone. “Ethan has been monitoring the Camerons movements.”
As he paused midway through his statement, Maggie leaned in, eager for further details. However, she noticed his reluctance to continue. Unable to resist, she turned her gaze towards him and inquired, “What happened next?”
“Are you curious?” Nathael arched an eyebrow, his voice soft.
Maggie responded instinctively, “Oh! Absolutely, I’m curious. What did you find out next?”
Nathael pressed his lips together, locking eyes with her intensely, his voice dropping. “Then, give me a kiss.”
Maggie was momentarily taken aback, her gaze instinctively shifting to Alex, who was driving.
After a brief pause, she turned back to Nathael, her expression incredulous. “You
Nathael stayed silent, patiently waiting for her reaction.
Maggie blinked, her face tinted with a blush of embarrassment. She was briefly rendered speechless. Moments later, she leaned in and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
In a gentle tone, she inquired, “Was that enough?”
It was a modest gesture, typical of their relationship. He felt no embarrassment, and she displayed no
reservation.
As she attempted to withdraw, Nathael grasped her wrist, preventing her from moving. His hand, radiating warmth, settled on her lower back, enveloping her in a comforting embrace.
With a gaze filled with intensity, Nathael dipped his head, claiming her lips in a passionate kiss. Skillfully,” he parted them, delving into her mouth, relishing the sweetness of her taste.
Maggie tensed briefly before, surrendering to the moment, allowing herself to relax.
Closing her eyes, she encircled her arms around his neck, responding to his kiss with a gradual, reciprocated intensity.

As minutes passed, the atmosphere within the car grew warmer. Maggie’s cheeks flushed, her body melting into Nathael’s embrace, her breath becoming unsteady. With a hint of intoxication, her once clear eyes now appeared lazy and alluring-
Nathael tenderly leaned his chin against her forehead, his voice husky as he spoke, “The Camerons have ramped up their operations in money and drug trafficking lately. Ethan has caught wind of Noah’s involvement, with individuals discreetly peddling illicit substances.
Maggie exclaimed in disbelief, “He’s truly crossed a line!”
“The high–interest loans distributed by the Camerons in the past are swiftly amassing funds through these underground avenues,” Nathael elaborated.

Maggie’s demeanour turned icy as she remarked, “I’m appalled by the extent of their actions!”
“In coordination with Ethan’s surveillance, we’ll strike when the opportunity arises. Our aim is to launch thorough investigations and, hopefully, dismantle some of their illicit operations, Nathael declared in a
solemn tone.
Maggie smiled warmly, planted a kiss on his check, and praised, “You’re incredible.”
Nathael gently lifted a strand of her hair with his sizable hand, his gaze piercing. These things shouldn’t have a place in the world.”
Maggie nodded in agreement. “Their prolonged impunity suggests they must have influential backing
Nathael spoke softly. “I’ll handle it. But Noah is cunning and ruthless. Without concrete evidence, convicting him is challenging
“Don’t fret, when the Camerons are cornered, they’ll resort to desperate measures. Given the right incentives, they’ll be willing to take risks, Maggie assured with conviction.
She grasped the essence of Noah’s slick and crafty character. He was perpetually elusive and slippery, evading capture at every turn.
As night descended, Nathael behaved uncharacteristically, refraining from initiating any advances toward Maggie, likely due to the impending competition the following day. Instead, he opted to simply embrace her from behind.
Maggie rested against his chest, but couldn’t fall asleep.
The moment she had long awaited was approaching, with just a few days remaining after the conclusion of the competition.
Uncertain if she could bear it, she also wondered if Nathael would stop as she desired.
Nevertheless, the mere contemplation of it caused her heart to ache.
“Will you be coming to watch my game tomorrow? Maggie inquired softly.
“Of course,” he replied.
Maggie smiled warmly, pivoted to face him, encirck her arms around his neck, and boldly initiated at

Nathael’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he gently halted her advances and whispered, “That’s enough”
Maggie blinked, a sanile playing on her lips. “Since I can’t seem to sleep anyway, why don’t we do something worthwhile?”
Nathael’s gaze intensified as he rolled over, pinning her beneath him, and began kissing her neck. “You’re unaware of what’s truly best for you,”
