Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Blacklist

A week later.

Maggie was engrossed in her graduation thesis at school when she received a call from Ronald. He urged, “Maggie, you need to come homel There’s trouble with the Herschire Cultural Park project

“What’s going on?” Maggie feigned ignorance. In reality, she was aware that the project review should have been completed by now. William had put in a significant amount of effort to make sure of it.

TE! Apparently, the Camerons were in deep trouble. The Herschire Cultural Park project is done!

“Come home, and we’ll discuss it.”

After ending the call, Maggie wasted no time and immediately went to the Camerons‘ residence.

Upon her arrival, she found everyone gathered in the living room. The atmosphere is tense and gloomy. Everyone seemed upset.

“Dad, what’s happening? Wasn’t the project progressing smoothly?” Maggie asked anxiously; there was a hint of confusion in her voice.

Sierra also entered the room at the same time; she asked, “What’s going on? Why did you urgently ask me to come home? I was having dinner with friends.”

Before Sierra could finish, Master Cameron raised his hand and angrily hurled the fruit plate on the coffee table toward her.

Startled, Sierra swiftly dodged to the side.

As the glass shattered on the floor, Sierra’s carefree demeanor vanished. It was now replaced by apprehension, and she started to get serious.

“Grandpa, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare me?” Sierra exclaimed as glass shards scattered around her.

“Are you still able to eat after what you’ve done? Do you realize what you have done? You have single- handedly sabotaged the Herschire Cultural Park project by purchasing the drawing from Leo without consulting with us. You have been deceived, but you still feel proud of yourself. You f*ol!”

Master Cameron unleashed a barrage of insults toward Sierra.

Maggie remained composed, observing the chaos calmly. Master Cameron had always been in good health despite his old age. He was so furious that he couldn’t even stand up from the sofa.

“What… what did I do wrong? If I hadn’t obtained the design draft, the project would have truly been. ruined!” Sierra appeared perplexed, unable to understand how everything had been fine when she left in the morning only for Master Cameron to have a sudden outburst upon her return.

Since being caught destroying Maggie’s design draft, Sierra has been grounded. She was only allowed to leave the house that morning, after much pleading.

Little did she know that within a few hours of leaving, she would be urgently summoned to come home,

“That’s enough. Sierra! Stop talking!” Olivia interjected with a furrowed brow. She was eager to assist but felt powerless in the situation

Maggie spoke softly, “Grandpa, what is the issue here? Is there a problem with the design?”

Master Cameron responded sternly. “There’s nothing wrong with the design. However, the problem lies with Lee himself

“I showed the design to Mr. Homer carlier, and the primary reviewer of this project happened to be ant acquaintance of Mr. Homer. Initially, there were no problems. After viewing our proposal, they immediately assumed that it was something we bought.

Maggie startled and furrowed her brow. She remarked, “So they believe that for such a significant project, we had to procure another individual’s proposal, indicating that we are incapable of handling it and untrustworthy

Ronald nodded and added. “Moreover, they question our attitude and reputation. We use someone else’s work as our own, which is viewed as disrespectful and lacking in integrity. They have explicitly stated that there will be no future collaboration with our family.”

Master Cameron grimaced and spoke in a low, pained voice, “Our family has been blacklisted by the authorities.” 

That’s right, her plan goes beyond sabotage the Herschire Cultural Park project. It was meticulously crafted to block any opportunities for the Camerons.

This was precisely what Maggie desired.

Master Cameron was seething with anger; his fury was incensed by her words. He rose to his feet, gripped his cane, and paced around fn agitation. He exclaimed, “What a troublemaker! How did we raise such a fool like you?”
