NovelUSAChapter 643 Maggie stood there, utterly baffled as she looked at the man before her.
He said he wouldn't help, so why the sudden about-face? What was he really trying to say? Feeling the man's concern, Maggie's eyes grew moist.
Why did she have to fall for this infuriatingly fickle guy? Suddenly, she was filled with regret.
She should have faced her fears that morning when Yuna had asked her point- blank if Fred truly loved her, instead of running away.
A little more courage would have made all the difference.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, life was tough as nails already-how much worse could it get? Maybe, just maybe, God was mixing in a tiny, unexpected blessing with all the hardship? To hell with it.
Live for today, for tomorrow is uncertain-the man's kindness was as unpredictable as the weather.
She didn't have the energy to second-guess what was in his heart anymore.
Things as they stood were fine.
Ten minutes later.
Maggie got her hands on the surveillance footage she'd been longing for and hurried with Fred to the outskirts of town, where Yuna had been transferred to the VIP suite of the local hospital after getting her wounds treated. When Hackett saw Maggie appear, he was livid: "I haven't even started to settle the score with you, and here you are showing up on my doorstep! Perfect, you can start by accounting for every single loss you've caused the company!" Then he turned to Penelope, "Perfect timing. You can witness just how your so-called goddaughter will disappoint you!" Maggie didn't bother with pleasantries, calmly pulling out her phone and opening the gallery.
"Mr. Fitzgerald, before we start tallying up, I suggest you take a look at this surveillance footage." Yuna was taken aback.
Surveillance footage? How on earth could Maggie have gotten her hands on the factory's surveillance footage? Yuna knew that the factory's production was top secret, acquiring surveillance would require jumping through hoops.
But Maggie in just half an hour at the hospital? How could she have possibly obtained it in such a short time? Hackett thought it was a bluff and dismissed it.
Penelope, however, took the phone and after watching, her expression turned increasingly grim.
"Linda? She started the fire?" Maggie's lips curled into a smug smile, adding, "You might not be aware, Penelope, but Linda is no longer in the design department. She's Yuna's assistant now." Upon hearing their exchange, Hackett could no longer contain himself, snatched the phone from Penelope, and hit play.
His body tensed as he frowned at Yuna, "What in the world is your assistant up to?" This was far beyond anything Yuna had anticipated.

"It's really quite the mystery, isn't it? Yuna wasn't even responsible for this project, so what was her assistant doing there?" Maggie's casual inquiry was like a spark to Penelope's kindling rage.
She glared at Yuna, demanding, "Givea good explanation, now!" Yuna, looking like a deer caught in headlights, twisted her features in distress.
"What's there to explain?! Mom, it's not my fault! I didn't start the fire! And why Linda did it, M have no clue!" Penelope, looking at Yuna's innocent facade, felt her heart twist into knots.
Just moments ago, Yuna had heroically dashed into the blazelfor the sake of the project, moving Penelope deeply.
Her stance on Yuna had been softening, even thinking that despite Yuna's usual arrogance, she wasn't all bad-she had her merits. But the moment Maggie produced that video, Penelope's doubts resurfaced.
