Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Ouch

Accompanying Nathael to buy clothes had become a challenging task that Maggie couldn’t get past in her mind, especially since it seemed like he was intentionally tormenting her by not mentioning a time.

Maggie continued her studies as usual. Although it was an exchange program, the actual courses weren’t many

Instead, there were several seminars and field trips, and even several banquets.

During this time, Maggie got to know quite a few designers and also caught up with some familiar designers from Yatria.

Meanwhile, the Camerons jewelry company, after reorganization, re–entered the scene as Luster Corporation. They opened seventeen new stores nationwide. They also set up high–end showcases in the capitals of various countries abroad.

One day, Ronald’s call came through.

“Maggie, how are you enjoying yourself?‘ he asked.

Maggie wondered why he called. However, her voice tinged with joy, and she said. “It’s good, Dad. How is everything at home? I saw that the jewelry company is already open for business.”

“I called you specifically to talk about that. Although the company has been established, you know that our family’s main business has never been jewelry. Competing with the Adams is not easy, and they are definitely not to be underestimated,” Ronald said in a gentle tone.

“I understand, Dad.”

“I know that you must be hurt by Joseph and Vanessa being together. But Vanessa has gained the trust of the Adams, so we must make use of this opportunity.”

Ronald appeared to gauge Maggie’s response before adding, “If using Vanessa bothers you, we can explore other options. But remember, avenging your mother and our family against the Adams has to be settled.”

Maggie’s gaze was cold. Ronald used his usual tactic of advancing by retreating. His words sound pleasant, but she had to admit he knew her well.

When presented with such an opportunity, who would pass it up? After all, holding a grudge was the least productive solution. True to her nature, she would always consider the bigger picture and choose the most advantageous approach.

“Dad, things have come to a point with Joseph; we shouldn’t let go of this opportunity. Since Vanessa is favoured by the Adams, let’s use this to our advantage, Maggie spoke calmly, showing an appearance of having thought it through.

Hearing her resolve, Ronald reassured her, “With those words from you, I can rest easy. Don’t worry; as long as I’m here, Vanessa will never marry into our family. No matter what happens between you and Joseph in the future, I’ll never agree with the two getting married.”

Ronald vowed to reassure her. Maggie felt she should be moved to tears at this point

Since Ronald wasn’t in front of her and she couldn’t really cry, she pretended to be choked up. “Dad, you

“Let’s put this issue aside. Vanessa has given us information that the Adams are short on supplies. There’s been an issue with the source from Treye, and they won’t be able to supply gemstones and diamonds for the next quarter.”

Maggie frowned. A hint of scheming flashed in her eyes. She asked, “Could it be a trick?”

“No, I’ve had it checked. The gemstone from Treye has been snapped up by some businessmen from Ecroabar, and the Adams lost out this time. As for the diamonds, there was a collapse at a mine in Stoajan, and it’s a major accident.”

Hearing this, Maggie smirked coldly.

The fish appeared to have accepted the bait.

With Ericko on the inside and her on the outside, Ronald would surely be hooked.

She had to admit that Ericko was adept at his tactics. Ronald was suspicious and cautious; he would not easily be convinced.

“So, we’re going to seize the Adams‘ sources?” Maggic asked softly.

Ronald couldn’t help but acknowledge Maggie’s intelligence. If Sierra had possessed even half of her wit, she would have been welcomed back into the family by now,

“You guessed it right. The Adams plan to obtain goods from someone named Shawn Lewis to make for

up their losses. If we can take what Shawn has, we get the best of both worlds, ensuring our supply for the next season and delivering a heavy blow to the Adams.”

Maggie was not surprised. Shawn was her chosen target, and it seemed like her brother had made contact with him, then he deliberately leaked the information to Vanessa.

Ronald thought he had everything under control, but unfortunately, he had stepped into a trap from the
