Chapter 223 Think I’m the Best
Nathael’s words left Ronald deep in thought, clearly planning something.
Olivia took charge of cooking dinner with the help of the servants, and they prepared a special meal.
Except for Mary’s absence and Sierra’s failure to return, the dinner was a cheerful occasion.
id humbly.
“Maggie, make sure to see Mr. Harris off properly. We owe him gratitude for his advice today. Mr. Harris, perhaps in the future, we’ll still need your help. I have to thank you in advance,” Ronald showing respect and fondness for Nathael, as if he admired him like a younger family member and respected him too much to be presumptuous,
“I’ll walk you.” Maggie offered warmly to Nathael.
“Okay.” Nathael accepted without hesitation.
“Mary must be pissed this time, but seeing that Sierra hasn’t come back, she probably knows she’s in trouble,” Maggie said cheerfully as she strolled around the neighborhood with Nathael.

Ronald would not be bothered if she took a little longer. Besides, with the open surroundings, there was no need to worry about others overhearing.
Nathael noticed Maggie’s hand hanging by her side and had the urge to hold it.
But he knew it wasn’t appropriate at the moment.
It was fine to hold her hand in front of Ronald at the Camerons‘ house, especially considering Mary’s behaviour; he had to support Maggie.
But being too affectionate in private might make Ronald suspicious.
“Has Mary always treated you like this?” Nathael asked, forcing himself to look away and speaking in a low voice as they walked together.
Maggie paused, perhaps surprised by the question.
“It’s usually not this bad. It’s mostly teasing, but today she lost too much money, so she needed someone to vent her anger on, Maggie explained softly.
“Ronald will definitely ask you about taking out a mortgage loan, right?”
“He will, and I’ll transfer the assets to your name when the time comes,” Nathael assured her confidently.
Maggie couldn’t help but laugh. “Mr. Harris, are you trying to please me for some secret reason?”
Nathael gently tapped her forehead. “Wasn’t it your plan to become the owner of the Camerons” assets one day?”
Maggie was surprised for a moment, remembering the joke she and Diana Spencer had made not long ago. She didn’t expect Nathael to take it seriously.
She stopped walking, hugged his waist, and asked softly. “What if you spoil me too much?”

Chapter 223 Think I’m the Best
Nathael hugged her back, his voice soft as he said, “I just want you to think I’m the best.”
Maggie couldn’t resist leaning up to kiss his check. Her cheeks then turned slightly pink as her heart raced.
Nathael’s eyes softened with a smile as he tousled her hair and whispered softly, “I’ll take you back.”
The twe turned around together, and Maggie didn’t return to the Camerons until Nathael’s car had driven
away.
Upon Maggie’s return, Ronald’s cheerful demeanour had vanished..
Maggie slowed her steps, catching echoes of his anger reverberating down the hallway before reaching the living room.
“Where in the world is Sierra? She’s caused trouble and hasn’t even bothered to show her face! Does she even regard me as her father? I’ve been wise my whole life; how did I raise such a fool?”
Olivia’s complexion paled as she attempted to console him softly. “Don’t get yourself too agitated; she’s still our daughter. Besides, haven’t you mentioned feeling that someone is targeting the Camerons? This necklace incident might be someone’s deliberate scheme against us!”
Ronald smirked. “Even if someone plotted it, she walked right into it! Can’t she tell whether it’s Luster Corporation’s jewelry? She fell for it so easily, like a puppet!”
Master Cameron also wore a displeased expression, his tone cold as he remarked, “We shouldn’t have relied on her for family matters. She neglects her responsibilities; she only knows to enjoy all the Camerons benefits without giving anything in return!”
After receiving one scolding after another, Olivia felt embarrassed.
Maggie stepped forward, speaking softly. “Dad, perhaps Sierra is still too young, and she probably didn’t do it on purpose.”
Seeing Maggie, Ronald’s expression softened slightly. “Maggie, you must maintain your relationship with Mr. Harris. The family’s situation isn’t favourable right now, and this is a rare chance.”
Upon hearing this, Maggie’s spirits dampened, and she sighed. “Initially, Mr. Harris learned about the jewelry incident’s delay and came to apologise in person, but as soon as he arrived, Aunt Mary…
Just the thought of it darkened Ronald’s expression.
Indeed, if it were Ronald himself, he wouldn’t appreciate being greeted with an ashtray thrown at him or being called a kept man, much less someone like Nathael, who was a prince of wealth and nobility, born with a silver spoon.
“I know. You’ve done well. Mr. Harris visiting in person proves your importance to him. Unfortunately, we’ve always had a feud with the Adams, and Mr. Harris is on good terms with them. Otherwise, it would have been advantageous if you and Mr. Harris could get married.” Ronald sighed, considering her
situation.
Just then, Sierra, who had been bombarded with countless phone calls from Olivia, returned with a grim expression.

Chapter 223 Think I’m the Best
“You’re finally back! I called you so many times! You didn’t come home after the competition ended. Where did you go? Why didn’t you wear the jewelry prepared for you? Not only did you not wear it, but you also wore the Adams‘ jewelry! Do you realise what people are saying about us?”
Upon spotting Sierra. Ronald’s suppressed fury erupted.
This afternoon, he had endured his anger and even forced a smile at Nathael. He couldn’t have felt worse.
And now, with Sierra’s behaviour, his good mood was shattered entirely.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Sierra became agitated.
“Why are you singling me out? Maggie didn’t wear it either. Why is it acceptable for her not to, but not for me? Money–that’s all you care about! Am I just a tool for you to earn money?”
Sierra’s eyes were bloodshot, feeling extremely upset due to the ridicule and sarcasm she had faced online.
This was like lighting a match to a fuse.
“This is ridiculous! Everything you eat and use costs money! Without money, why should others respect you as Ms. Cameron? Maggie is dating Mr. Harris, and he benefits the family; what about you? What can you contribute?
“Do you think the Adams will appreciate you wearing their items? They’re probably laughing at us! How can you be so foolish?”
