Chapter 53 Don’t Be Too Proud Of Yourself
That night, when Maggie arrived home, she acted as if nothing had happened. She planned to endure another night and torment Sierra.
In reality, Sierra had a restless night.

Initially, she constantly paid attention to the movements in Maggie’s room after her return, hoping to see her shocked and panicked face.
But unexpectedly, Maggie had been quiet since she returned to her room.
Sierra became more and more irritated as she waited. She started to feel it was unreasonable.
This wait lasted nearly three hours.
Seeing that it was almost ten o’clock at night and Maggie still showed no reaction, Sierra couldn’t help but panic.
She wondered if Maggie had other drafts in her possession.
But she had gone through everything at that time and destroyed all the drawings. Maggic couldn’t have any other designs with her.
Thinking of this, Sierra had the maid prepare some late–night snacks. Then she took the initiative to knock on Maggie’s door.
At this time, Maggie had just finished her shower. She lazily opened the door. She looked at Sierra and asked, “What’s up?”
Sierra looked past her, and her gaze fell on the desk behind her. Unfortunately, the angle was bad, and she was shorter than Maggie. She couldn’t see anything.
“Nothing much, I just wanted to bring you a late–night snack. You’ve been working hard these days.” Sierra lowered her gaze and spoke obediently.
If Maggie didn’t know her true face, she would probably really think Sierra was a harmless, innocent girl.
Unfortunately, years of living in the dark have taught her that appearances can be deceiving.
Maggie laughed nonchalantly. She asked, “Have you heard about the Trojan horse? Are you showing up at my door with ill intentions?”
Her single remark ignited Sierra’s anger again.
Sierra chided, “What do you mean? Do you think you’re indispensable now? I tell you, there are plenty of designers who work with us. Just because Grandpa values you doesn’t mean you’re good.”
Sierra’s eyes darkened, and she spoke maliciously.
Maggie laughed and rebuked, “If I’m not good, why didn’t he ask you to take charge of this project? You’re graduating soon, why can’t you handle anything?”

“Who told you that I couldn’t handle anything? I want to see what kind of results you can achieve with this project.” Sierra shouted angrily. Apparently, she couldn’t withstand the provocation due to her young age.
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Maggie replied softly, giving her a fake smile. Her beautiful eyes were distant and cold, exuding an indescribable chill.
Sierra felt uncomfortable under her gaze, as if she had become prey in her hands and couldn’t escape her plot.
“Hmm, it’s too soon for you to say that. Grandpa favored you. Don’t ruin this project. Our family can’t afford to lose our reputation!”
Sierra sneered. She was looking forward to the expression on Maggie’s face when she found out that the design draft was gone.
She wanted to see if this woman could continue to act arrogant.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Maggie wasn’t aware of it yet.
Maggie was uninterested in listening to Sierra’s nonsense. She closed the door before Sierra finished speaking and walked into the bedroom.
The design draft was indeed gone, along with all the precise data.
However, this was the best day for Maggie. After all, she was not a philanthropist. From the beginning, she never intended to let the Camerons acquire the project.
Yes, that’s right.
