Chapter 30 Don’t Mess With Me
“Really? She will do that?” someone turned to Sierra and asked.
“Yeah, Sierra, maybe you should let it go. The banquet has already started. If you change your jewelry and outfit now, it might not be a match.”
Someone tried to persuade her, but Sierra wouldn’t listen.
“Who said anything about changing? She spoils me the most. If I ask her, she will definitely take it off and give it to me on the spot.”
What Sierra didn’t mention was that the emerald necklace around Maggie’s neck was worth just about three thousand dollars.
Meanwhile, the one around her neck was worth many times more.
Naturally, she wouldn’t exchange with Maggie. After all, this jewelry would eventually be hers. What difference does it make to have it sooner or later?
“You girls, wait for me here. I’ll go to my sister.”
With that, Sierra picked up her skirt and walked toward Maggie. The way she held her head proudly appeared superficial and laughable.
A group of people stood in place, all looking in her direction. Someone couldn’t help but murmur.
“Isn’t it inappropriate for Sierra to do this?”
“Forget it. This is their family matter anyway.”
The others were lost for words.
On the other side, alongside Olivia, Maggie greeted the guests with a smile in a graceful and composed manner.
Before long, Sierra walked over. She affectionately took Maggie’s hand and asked softly, “Maggie, I have something to discuss with you.”
With that, she dragged Maggie to a relatively secluded corner.
Maggie looked at her with a smile and asked, “What’s the matter? You’re being so secretive.”
“Can you lend me your necklace? My friends are blind, and everyone thinks mine is not as beautiful as yours. Could you lend me yours to wear?” Sierra couldn’t help but complain.
Maggie’s gaze turned cold. She quietly looked at the seemingly innocent girl in front of her and responded with a half–smile.
Not getting the immediate consent she had imagined, Sierra felt a bit strange. She continued to shake Maggie’s arm and cooed, “Please? Maggie
Maggie replied softly, “You’ve already made your choice between two necklaces before. You’re not a child.
Hearing this, Sierra’s expression immediately changed. She asked, “What do you mean?”
Noticing her change of expression, Maggie found it laughable.
How did she not notice the malice and ruthlessness beneath Sierra’s ‘innocence‘ in her previous life? It was ridiculous that she had always thought Sierra was young and had been very considerate of her.
But beneath such a young and harmless face was an alternative type of cruelty.
After more than ten years of living together. Maggie didn’t understand why the people of the Camerons could be so indifferent to her. Even with a plant or an object, after more than a decade, shouldn’t there be some feelings?
“Sierra, the banquet is about to start. This necklace doesn’t match you. It’s inappropriate to change it at the last minute. Maggie’s smile faded, and she looked at her sister coldly.
