Chapter 70 Dupe
Sierra’s complexion paled. She stood up and left.
However, Maggie’s smug expression made her force herself to stay. She pleaded, “Mr. Caleb, can you give me a discount? We can be friends”
Leo chuckled friend.”
softly. He gazed at Sierra as he replied, “Ms. Cameron, I’m not interested in being your
With unyielding bluntness, Leo’s words wiped away the last remnants of a forced smile from Sierra’s face.
Impatiently, Leo rose to his feet. He declared, “Since you aren’t sincere, let’s forget it.”
With that, he began to leave without a backward glance.
“Wait!” Sierra felt a pang in her heart and finally spoke up, “3 million it is! I trust Mr. Caleb will honor your word and safeguard the secret.”
Leo settled back down. He spoke in a deep voice, “Certainly
Shortly afterward, he summoned a lawyer. After the two signed the contract, Sierra gave Leo 1.5 million. dollars provided by Olivia. Despite trying her best to gather the remainder, she could only muster a total of 750 thousand dollars for Leo.
The Camerons were affluent; Sierra had not assumed control of any businesses. Although a few companies bore her name, they were merely for show. She didn’t receive the profits.
The two companies are under her true jurisdiction; she purely runs them for fun.
Her family was lenient with her, but Sierra spent lavishly and never had any savings by month’s end. This amount of money took her a long time to scrape together.
“Mr. Caleb, for the remaining amount, could I offer you an IOU for now?” Sierra asked, but hesitated.
Leo couldn’t believe what he just heard.
pay you within a month.” Sierra vowed earnestly.
“Don’t worry, I will
I will pay you
She received a monthly allowance of 75,000 dollars from her family; she will get more if she has special needs. It was challenging for her to repay on her own. However, Sierra wasn’t worried. She was confident. that once the Herschire Cultural Park project was approved, she could easily request that her family settle the debt on her behalf.
Even if her father was reluctant, her parents would always assist her in repayment.
“I cannot wait a month; if Ms. Cameron fails to repay on time, then I’ll pay you a personal visit” Leo agreed.
After Leo left, Sierra cautiously consulted two designers from the Camerons to review the design plans and sketches. After confirming everything was alright, she finally relaxed and returned home.

Chapter 70 Dupe
When she saw the price of 1.5 million dollars double, Maggie felt she would be laughing in her dreams. tonight.
A servant summoned Maggie downstairs two hours later.
Master Cameron, Ronald, Sierra, and two seasoned architects from the family were gathered. They were examined and discussing something.
Upon Maggie’s arrival, Master Cameron looked up and beckoned. He said, “Maggie, come and look at this proposal. What are your thoughts?”
Maggie feigned ignorance. She swiftly stepped forward to take the planning drawings of the design proposal. Then she looked at it in a serious manner.
In reality, she didn’t need to take a look at these drawings. She knew it like the back of her palm.
This proposal was a collaborative effort between her and several designers under Leo. She had limited time and found it challenging to focus on designing two proposals simultaneously. Thus, she merely suggested an idea to Leo and took charge of several key aspects, while the other designers collaborated complete the rest.
Everyone awaited her evaluation. She didn’t disappoint. Maggie nodded and remarked. “The overall planning is logical and novel. The concept of integrating the history and culture of Herschire Cultural Park with Aquapolis is also commendable. I believe we should proceed with it.”
Hearing this, Master Cameron and his group finally smiled.
“I think this proposal is excellent as well! Let’s proceed with it. Regarding the construction materials, let’s have Joseph handle it again. We would go all out with the cost, and we should still be able to meet the deadline.”
Upon hearing this, Sierra also smiled and felt relieved.
“Grandpa, where did this proposal originate from Maggie pretended not to know and asked earnestly
Master Cameron replied with a sigh, “The Calebs initially prepared this proposal. You mentioned that Leo is crafty. I was hesitant to use this. Now that you also approve of this proposal, I can finally relax.”
Maggie was stunned before she remarked. “When I review the entire plan, the planning and drawings are indeed impressive. I used to find Leo’s unpredictable, which made me uneasy. However, now that we have the plan in hand, I feel at ease”
“You’re right. I have reservations about Leo. After all, I haven’t interacted with him much in the past. Given the current situation, it’s wise to exercise caution, Master Cameron nodded.
“Our family is truly blessed. If the project progresses smoothly, the 1.5 million dollars invested in it will be worthwhile, Maggie mentioned the sum deliberately.
Olivia couldn’t help but smile and correct. “Maggie, you’re mistaken. It’s actually 750 thousand. Sierra and Mr. Caleb had a productive discussion and secured the project with this price.”
Margie was shocked
If Maggie was in the dark about the fact that Sierra had been duped into spending 3 million, she might have believed their deception.
“Sierra did an excellent job this time.” Madam Cameron commended.
Sierra gazed at Maggie and said with a smile, “It’s fortunate that Maggie didn’t finalize the deal earlier, or we would have had to spend more money on this. I wasn’t criticizing Maggie, but she tends to be overly cautious and overthink things.
Thank goodness that the design plan is deemed satisfactory, or we would have missed out on an opportunity.”
She was as mean as always, but surprisingly more restrained than before.
Sierra looked at Maggie with a sneer. Although the thought of losing 3 million pained her, she falsely claimed to have only spent 750 thousand to purchase the plan, simply to outdo Maggie.
At this time, she only owed Leo with 750 thousand. Once that amount was repaid, no one would be aware.
Maggie smiled and remarked softly, “If the Herschire Cultural Park project proceeds smoothly this time, Sierra will deserve credit for its success.”
She looked sincerely, ready to let bygones be bygones, as if she were genuinely happy. This expression by Maggie seriously irritates Sierra again.
In reality, Maggie was truly delighted.
It was rare to meet someone trusting and easily duped like Sierra. Oh no, she shouldn’t label her as gullible; Sierra was generous and kind–hearted!
Sierra sneered, “I should thank you for providing me with this opportunity. However, you have truly revealed your true nature this time, overthinking and maliciously speculating about others. Who would have imagined that this drawing is flawless?”
Olivia rushed to defend Sierra’s honor and promptly stated, “Although Sierra’s words were a little harsh, there is some truth to them. Maggie, you have a tendency to overanalyze and hesitate too much.”
