Chapter 163 Cousins
Ronald spoke again at the family gathering. “By the way, the goods from Mr. Lewis will arrive at the port the day after tomorrow night, and we’ve also planned a celebration for Luster Corporation in the evening.”
Maggic frowned slightly and asked, puzzled, “A celebration?”
Ronald smiled as he explained, “Oh right, Maggie, I forgot to mention this to you. Since the company’s launch, we’ve had a large number of high–end jewelry pre–orders, and even our ordinary products are selling well.
“Is it going that well? It sounds like a roaring success!” Maggie spoke, her tone laced with happiness.
Olivia chimed in with excitement, “Mrs. Harris and Old Madam Harris themselves attended and placed. orders for several pieces. Once they showed up, other prestigious families followed, and the orders just skyrocketed.
The Harris!
The mention of the Harrises sent Maggie’s thoughts to Nathael.
He promised he would help increase her orders, and it turned out he really did.
“Maggie, does this have anything to do with Nathael? His family showing up is a big deal for us.” Ronald was clearly in a good mood at the thought.
At the mention of Nathael, Joseph’s expression soured.
Maggie shook her head and said, “Dad, I’ve been abroad these past few days. I have no idea how the
company is doing, and I neversed it with Nathael. I think it’s our brilliant designs and the big move
that drew the Harrises. It’s our achievement.”
Maggie didn’t plan to take credit for this situation. When the truth was revealed and they faced those high compensation costs, it wouldn’t be nice if the blame fell on her.
But she also knew that, at the end of the day, she might still face suspicion.
All because of that idiot, Joseph!
If he hadn’t found the access card and confronted her, her relationship with Nathael would remain a secret, and she would steer clear of the situation.
Maggie dismissed her musings as futile.
Every situation had its pros and cops; not everything could go as she planned.
Ronald nodded, pleased. “No matter how you look at it, it’s a good thing. If our company can secure a spot in the jewelry market, we can gradually shift our family’s focus to this industry.”
The Camerons were evidently in good spirits, tasting the sweetness of early success, eager and ready for
action.
Maggie smiled, her face showing happiness, but her eyes held a chill.

Chapter 163 Cousins
Maggie wondered if they would still be smiling when it all closed in.
After leaving Cameron’s residence with Luens, both of them seemed much more relaxed.
Maggie couldn’t resist rulling Lucas’s hair. The boy, who used to be about her height, was now so tall that she had to stand on tiptoes and reach up to touch it.
“You’ve grown so tall,” Maggie couldn’t help but remark.
Lucas cracked a smile and said, “This height of mine is perfect.
“Don’t get cocky!” Maggie laughed as her recent irritations were eased by Lucas’s return.
“Messing things up,” Maggie replied with a mischievous glint in her eye.
Besides, if he had been drifting aimlessly for so long, no one would be too wary of him, which could lead to acquiring different kinds of information.
“Your parents left you quite a bit of wealth. This is what I’ve compiled that rightfully belongs to you. Some of it you were tricked into transferring to Ronald’s name, and after many board member changes, even if you managed to reclaim it, nobody would take orders from you.”
