Chapter 232 Checkup
As Maggie descended the stairs at the Camerons‘ residence the next day, she spotted Ronald with Joseph and a few others, poring over contracts by the coffee table.
“Hey, Maggie, perfect timing. Check out these assets. I’m planning to use them as collateral with Mr. Harris.” Ronald beckoned.
Without hesitation, Maggie joined them, scanning the documents to grasp their essence.

However, she couldn’t hide her surprise. “Dad, are we mortgaging Prosperity Mall, Centersea Hotel, and Cloudsea land too?”
Recalling the family’s past success with the Cloudsca land, Maggie felt a pang of concern..
If Nathael pocketed these properties, they could say sayonara to them.
“Yep, experts evaluated them. Prosperity’s too outdated, Centersea’s facilities are old–fashioned, and Cloudsea’s too remote. Even if we develop it in the future, returns won’t be great,” Ronald explained.
Maggie paused, refraining from pressing further.
Admittedly, Prosperity’s charm had faded, its dated décor failing to attract foot traffic, prompting international brands to shun it.
Though Centersea boasted five–star status, its facilities wore the patina of age. Yet, its prime location ensured healthy annual returns despite the outdated amenities.
The obvious solution loomed: a modernisation and renovation of the hotel. However, such endeavours demanded funding, a resource currently elusive to the Camerons.
Cloudsea, once fervently championed by Maggie, now lay neglected by the Camerons, in
unrecognised. It seemed fate had turned a deaf ear to their ambitions.
After a thorough assessment, Maggie grasped the gravity of the situation.

Ronald’s stash of projects, beyond the Camerons‘ main ventures, housed the list Maggie ‘acquired‘ from Naharl
After Ronald checked out the project and saw the list, the Camerons wasted no time. They hustled to gather up funds and dive right in!
Some of these high–risk projects might seem like they’re making bank at first, painting a rosy picture for
the future.
A flicker of concern flashed across Maggie’s face as she furrowed her brow, picking up on a hint of trouble
in the air.
The Camerons were heading down a risky road, so much so that even the skies might look away.
“I can’t see any problems coming up. Maggie said with conviction.
Ronald nodded in reply. Maggie spotted a hefty pile of photos on the coffee table, next to a list showcasing various talent shows either on air or scheduled to be.

Plus, this morning on Twitter, she caught the Camerons reaching out to loads of onl
Luster Corporation’s jewelry.
On top of that, Albert whipped up a brand–new product in a hurry, set to hit the shelves in just a week, currently in the promo stage.
“Maggie, hang out with Mr. Harris more, see if you can squeeze any info out of him.”
“Got it,” answered Maggie, her face sombre.
Ronald sighed heavily, “Mr. Harris is a big shot and super slick. Dad’s all for you two being together, but only when the Camerons are rock–solid can you tie the knot with the Harrises, and only then will they give their blessing….
Ronald was speaking slowly, the look on his face solemn.
Maggie gave her undivided attention, but there was a hint of iciness in her eyes.
She wondered what her poison was and how long had the Camerons been spiking her food and drinks.
Joseph and Sierra probably don’t know anything, or I can wheedle something out of them.
It won’t be easy to get anything from the old man and his boys.
