Let’s Start All Over Again, Shall We? Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Unlucky

Maggie’s compliment only intensified William’s resentment towards Master Cameron.

After resolving the issue, Maggie didn’t plan to stay long. She stood up, glanced at William, and smiled. “Let’s toast to our future cooperation in advance.”

William remained unresponsive, his hand tightly gripping the wine glass as he lost himself in thought.

Without any further delay, Maggie turned to leave.

Having consumed a considerable amount of alcohol, she began to feel a bit dizzy. Besides, it’s always important to know when to stop. Even though she had mentioned Master Cameron’s name, she didn’t want to push this pampered young master of the Hansleys too far.

Even a clay figure has its limits, let alone a pampered young master.

However, Maggie only learned this secret from Mia in her previous life.

After she was blinded, disfigured, and forced to marry Nathael, her spirits were always low. Occasionally, when Mia had free time to keep her company, she would try to uplift her spirits by gossiping about others.

And she remembered that the most scandalous gossip back then was about William.

Madam Lydia was not an outsider, but a woman whom William’s grandfather, Master Hansley, had kept by his side for many years.

When Madam Hansley was alive, Madam Lydia was already in the picture. However, Madam Hansley was already old and faded. Naturally, she couldn’t compete with a woman in her thirties.

So she ignored it, and life went on.

Madam Hansley had lived a lifetime and understood the ways of the world.

Unfortunately, time is merciless. A few years ago, Madam Hansley passed away due to illness, and Madam Lydia became an accepted presence.

Master Hansley didn’t remarry, but he always kept Madam Lydia by his side.

Unexpectedly, under the same roof, due to a twist of fate, William, drunk, had an affair with his grandfather’s woman.

He woke up in shock, but it was too late.

William was terrified and ran away without looking back. On the other hand, Madam Lydia was more daring and didn’t take it to heart.

After all, William’s youthful body could bring her pleasure that the aging Master Hansley couldn’t compare to.

Unfortunately, fate sometimes likes to play tricks.

Madam Lydia became pregnant.

Madam Lydia finally panicked. Initially, she wanted to secretly abort the child, but considering that Master Hansley would eventually pass away, she was unwilling to end up with nothing after wasting so many years.

on him.

After much thought, Madam Lydia concorted a massive lie.

Master Hansley had doubts, but he didn’t find anything suspicious within Madam Lydia’s scheme. So, he believed that he was still virile and had a child in his old age, which made him very happy.

But William couldn’t find happiness. He, who hadn’t even married, had a son who was his uncle in name.

At that time, this matter was exposed. Despite attempts to keep it under wraps, in the world of the wealthy. where information flowed freely, no secrets remained hidden for long.

The Hansleys‘ scandal was often brought up as a joke.

Thinking of this, Maggie found it absurd.

But then again, it’s no wonder William was scared out of his wits. If this matter were to be revealed, Master Hansley would not let him off the hook.

Maggie weakly touched her forehead, feeling a bit dizzy and her head heavy.

She left the banquet hall and hadn’t gone far when Joseph’s call suddenly came in.

Maggie furrowed her brow and glanced at her phone, feeling extremely annoyed..

She chose not to answer the call and continued walking outside.

Leo had agreed to wait for her here in case the plan changed.

Maggie hadn’t gone far when she spotted Joseph in the distance. He was wearing a light blue shirt and hurrying inside while talking on the phone. Their paths were about to cross.

I’m so unlucky!

Maggie frowned, not wanting to waste time with him.

She turned around and headed back to the nightclub, sending a message to Leo to pick her up at the side door.

She had consumed a considerable amount of alcohol and was not in a clear state of mind. Joseph was always a morally questionable individual, constantly desiring her physically. If she ended up in his control, it would be like going from one difficult situation to an even worse one.

However, Maggie had forgotten how attractive she was. The moment Joseph entered the nightclub, he immediately spotted her amidst the swaying crowd.

Even though it was just a silhouette, having spent over twenty years with Maggie, he recognized her instantly.

“Maggiel” Joseph called out in a deep voice, pushing through the crowd to catch up with her quickly.

Maggie’s even were filled with coldness. She didn’t nuen back and her nace muickened.

She truly hadn’t expected to have such an unexpected encounter with Joseph!

After all, in her previous life, when she ran away, she was hiding from William, and it was Nathael she encountered. Joseph, this fool, was nowhere in the picture.

But it seemed that many things were interconnected. Change one thing, and everything else would change.

“Maggie! Stop right there!” Joseph’s face long strides.

s gloomy as he shouted loudly while chasing after Maggie with

A few days ago, he had been occupied with a project in Chronopolis and couldn’t attend Sierra’s banquet. When he returned home, he heard Sierra complaining about being mistreated by Maggie. Later, his grandfather informed him that she was supposed to persuade William.

Even though they didn’t socialize in the same circles, Joseph knew exactly what kind of person William

was

Maggie wouldn’t gain anything from him!

Upon hearing this, he hurried over. However, to his surprise, she didn’t answer his calls and avoided him when she saw him.

Joseph felt a surge of anger building up inside him–a sense of discomfort as if something was beyond his control, making him uneasy.

Then he thought about Maggie’s lover.

How dare she engage in infidelity behind his back?

She had to explain herself to him!

Joseph chased after her faster and faster, but Maggie’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier. She bit her lip, trying to stay awake, cursing William and his friends for their potent drinks.

As he closed in, Maggie began to jog along the wall.

Joseph, this troublemaker!

Just like Sierra, they were cut from the same cloth!

Finally, Maggie rushed out of the main entrance of the club. The biting night wind added a chill to the air as she looked around with a frown, but Leo’s car was nowhere in sight.

Upon looking up again, she realized that in her haste, she had taken the wrong path.

She was supposed to head towards the first east gate, but she had taken the path to the second east gate. Maggie rolled her eyes, wondering how far apart the two gates were.

However, once outside the club,/she became more conspicuous.

Without the flickering lights and the chaotic crowd to provide cover, Maggie was certain that she had become Joseph’s moving target.

cross the road.

Maggie moved swiftly. As Joseph exited the club, he glanced up and saw a woman on the opposite side of the road, lifting her skirt and signaling for a taxi.

“Maggie!” Joseph seethed with anger, resembling a madman. He wanted to pursue her, but the traffic was too heavy, preventing him from crossing the road.

He couldn’t comprehend how a typically obedient woman could suddenly become so sharp and assertive.

Just then, a sleek Rolls–Royce Phantom pulled up in front of Maggie. She stood there, stunned for a few seconds, before noticing,

man who was supposed to be abroad sitting in the car. His captivating eyes gazed at her intensely, his pupils as dark as ink.
