Chapter 85 Clarification
Madam Cameron wanted to ask more questions, but Maggie had hurriedly left with Joseph.
Madam Cameron felt uneasy, sensing that something was off.
Maggie followed Joseph to the banquet hall, which had been set up to look like a press conference, with the audience packed below.
Both invited and uninvited guests were gathered to hear about the scandal involving Nathael. This was enough to trigger chaos throughout the entire Aquapolis.
Master Cameron and Ronald were already seated on the stage, with two empty seats in the middle reserved for Maggie and Joseph.
As soon as Maggie appeared, the flashlights started flashing incessantly, cameras pointing at her from all angles, afraid of missing any shot.
Disappointingly, the Camerons‘ daughter, who had come to “accuse and complain,‘ showed no signs of distress or grievance. Instead, she looked radiant, stunning, and breathtakingly beautiful.
“Ms. Adam, did Nathael violate you against your will?”
“Do you have any evidence?”
“Could you please clarify whether you and Mr. Harris were involved romantically in the past? Were there unrequited feelings or unresolved love that resulted in resentment?”
“Could you describe the process of Mr. Harris violating you? What methods did he use to coerce you?”
“Were you conscious when you were taken into the room? Was it a carefully planned scheme by the Harris family?”
that are the Camerons planning to do now? Will you marry into the Harris family?”
A reporters poured questions non–stop.
As soon as Maggie took her seat, the reporters below went crazy, one after another, asking questions like cats smelling fish, eager to be the first not to miss out.
Yet Maggie remained calm, with a clear and composed look in her eyes.
On the other hand, Master Cameron and Ronald looked solemn, their expressions tinged with anger.
Maggie’s gaze swept the audience below, not seeing Nathael and her people, but spotting Vanessa in the crowd, watching the show with delight.
Locking eyes with Vanessa, Maggie smiled, then turned to Ronald and whispered, “Dad, I’ve changed my
mind.”
Ronald was stunned for a few seconds. Then, his gaze fell on Maggie with a hint of scrutiny.
Ignoring him, Maggie took the microphone and said coldly, “I am aware that since the photos of me entering and leaving the hotel with Nathael were taken last month, there have been all sorts of rumors
Chapter 85 Clarification
“Today’s press conference is mainly to clarify two things. First, Mr. Harris has never violated me. I don’t know where this rumor came from. It’s simply absurd”
Maggie’s words were firm and decisive. Meanwhile, Master Cameron and Ronald struggled to maintain a composed demeanor, their emotions barely contained.
However, they were in front of the public and felt it was not the time to confront Maggie, so they nodded. in agreement
Joseph frowned and couldn’t help but glance at her, who remained calm and composed throughout the ordeal
Before Maggie could finish speaking, a reporter asked, “Are you saying Mr. Harris did not violate you?”
“Of course not,” Maggie replied smoothly. “Mr. Harris is a distinguished gentleman. How could he do such a beastly act? Besides, if a man as exceptional as Mr. Harris were to spend the night with me, I’d be more than delighted.”
Maggie smiled and made a joke.
“And what do you have to say about being seen entering and leaving the hotel suite with Mr. Harris that night, staying together until the next morning?” another sharp journalist asked.
Maggie calmly replied, “If I remember correctly, Mr. Harris booked a suite. That night, I couldn’t handle my drink and got very drunk. Luckily, Mr. Harris, being kind–hearted, didn’t just throw me out considering our long–standing friendship.”
“So, you’re saying nothing happened that night? You and Mr. Harris are very
close?
Maggie replied confidently, “Of course, something did happen, but definitely not what some might think.”
“Nathael and I do have a good relationship. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given him the design plans for the Polar Night Club”
Th
iment caused a commotion in the crowd.
The Polar Night Club was currently the most prestigious high–end club in Aquapolis, but it was recently embroiled in a scandal of design plagiarism, which garnered a lot of criticism.
Despite this, Maggie, as the original designer of the plans, had never responded to the accusations before. Consequently, the issue gradually died down after causing a stir.
Although Ronald had excellent acting skills, his expression still looked intricate.
The current events caught them off guard, yet he couldn’t help but sense a faint grasp of Maggie’s intentions.
“So, you’re implying that the design plans for the Polar Night Club were not plagiarized?”
“That’s right. I was the one who presented it to Mr. Harris, and I am pleased that he has embraced my proposal.”
“Why didn’t you address this matter sooner?” a reporter inquired, trying to uncover some intriguing details.

“Because I don’t think it’s necessary. There are numerous news stories about Mr. Harris every day. If we had to clarify each one, Nathael wouldn’t have time for anything else,” Maggie responded.
Maggie’s words left everyone silent for a moment.
Indeed, countless news stories about Nathael daily, true or false, were mixed with various rumors. Everyone wanted to capitalize on his popularity. If everything had to be clarified like this, it would never
end.
“Of course, this time it involves the reputation of Mr. Harris and myself, so I must come forward and clarify. I have pondered about it for a long time. If I remained silent it might give some malicious individuals the impression that we are guilty,” Maggie stated, her gaze cold and solemn.
She firmly believed that this was not something that could be casually fabricated or joked about.
*Of course, I believe that after my clarification this time, if there are any more rumors, the Harris legal team will see it through to the end.”
With that, Maggie had no intention of further responding and exited the room.
Ronald quickly concluded, “We, the Camerons, have always maintained a good relationship with the Harris family. Maggie and Mr. Harris have always gotten along well. I hope that the rumors will cease from today onwards.”
After the press conference, the crowd dispersed…
Olivia looked at Maggie with a furrowed brow and said, “Maggie, what’s going on? Weren’t we planning to accuse Nathael? Why did you suddenly clarify things for him?”
Master Cameron was also dissatisfied. “Yeah, why are you suddenly speaking up for Nathacl?”
Ri
robably guessed what Maggie was thinking, but he remained composed. “Dad, let’s hear what Maggie has to say.”
Maggie remained calm and said in a deep voice, “It just hit me. Since the incident has already occurred, there is no point in dwelling on what’s been done. Let’s figure out how to make the best of it.”
up
“The Harris family is influential. Accusing them outright would stir up trouble. It’s better to clear Nathael’s doubts, build his trust, and then, once we’re on better terms, we can secure more projects and benefits from him.”
At that moment, just beyond the partly opened door, Nathael stood in his dark suit, his posture erect, his penetrating eyes deep, and his expression inscrutable.
