Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 162 Lucky Break Before the Camerons, Maggie didn't engage in much conversation.

It was Lucas who handed her a box and said uneasily, "Maggie, I brought you a gift." 16:55 Mon, 20 May 07 B Let's Star All Over Again, Shall We? Chapter 162 Lucky Break Before the Camerons, Maggie didn't engage in much conversation.

It was Lucas who handed her a box and said uneasily. "Maggie, I brought you a gift." Maggie paused for a few seconds before looking up at him.

Lucas still hadn't gotten rid of his childishness. The young man blushed awkwardly-a stark contrast to his case on the phone.

Accepting the white gift box, Maggie fleetingly remembered how, in a past life, he had brought when he returned to the country.

The stype of box, a different location, but undoubtedly the sgift inside.

her a gift Vanessa, sitting by Joseph's side, couldn't resist commenting, "I never realized Lucas and Maggie were so close. You'd think they were biological siblings.

Olivia chimed in with a smile, "Lucas has always been introverted, only occasionally opening up to Maggie Vanessa turned towards Joseph, teasing, "Wonder what he gave her? But speaking of which, why didn't you receive any gifts? Did you used to bully Lucas?" Maggie's eyes flashed coldly at the remark, her gaze briefly sweeping over Vanessa.

This instigator seemed to bring trouble everywhere she went.

Was Vanessa's evil doings in her past life even comparable to what the Camerons had done? Perhaps not. However, the disdain she managed to garner was truly unprecedented.

Madam Cameron said with a smile, "Oh Lucas, what's going on? Coming back from abroad without gifts for your cousin? What about your uncle and auntie? Any gifts for them?" Lucas was Madam Cameron's sister's grandson, and he belonged to a different branch of the family.

Eventually, as Lucas' side of the family diminished and his mother had already passed away, he found himself orphaned early. The elder Finchs were alive, but as upright scholars of modest fame, they hardly counted as wealthy nobility.

Fortunately, Lucas's parents had left him with a considerable fortune, thanks to their business acun family inheritance.

db Maggie knew that much of that we had fallen into the Camerons's hands. Eventually, Lucas met a rather dire fate, his life and death unaccounted for.

Lucas frowned, obviously disliking Vanessa's insinuation.

He was anything but foolish; in fact, he was quite sharp.

"Lucas was prepared, of course, but since the luggage space is just so much after a trip back home, he toldthat the gifts for everyone were mailed back, so it might take stime.

She quickly explained on Lucas's behalf, knowing full well that his temper wasn't the easiest to deal with.

D As she finished, Madam Cameron's expression softened slightly. The next second, Maggie turned to Vanessa saying. "But then again, Joseph and mom weren't in a hurry, Vanessa; you seem quite concerned." The implication was clear. You had crossed the line as a girlfriend.

Vanessa's face soured immediately. She reasoned, "I didn't mean it that way; I was just making a joke." "Ajoke is only funny if the person it's about finds it funny. Look around, Vanessa; does anyone here find this funny?" Maggie spoke with a smile, her demeanor graceful.

"Besides, we're at home; you can act however you want. But outside, acting without regard can only lead others to mock our family for our lack of maners." Hearing this. Vanessa clenched the tassels of the pillow beside her, her expression turning fierce.

Madam Cameron frowned and nodded in agreement. She said, "Maggie is right. Although Joseph likes you, your background is humble, and you lack education in these manners, which might cause you to act inappropriately. I'll arrange for a teacher to properly instruct you." Madam Cameron's tone was not harsh and her manner was serious yet mild.

However, her words were still a slap in Vanessa's face.

Vanessa struggled to smile, forcing out a strained grin, and said, "You're right. I'll definitely learn more from Maggie." Lucas tugged at his lip and said coldly, "Sthings are just beneath you." This remark left Vanessa trembling with anger, Maggie lifted her gaze, a hint of defiance in her eyes.

Trying to undermine Lucas's relationship with the family? That would only happen to her dead body.

Was it just because Lucas was kind to her that Vanessa wanted to put her in his place? As if she had the right! Before Vanessa could speak again, Ronald and the others descended from upstairs.

"Maggie, you have make it home? I hope you've caught up with Lucas. Joseph and Vanessa are also back from abroad. Let's all sit down today and talk about the future of our jewelry line." Ronald was seated in the center and took the initiative to broach the topic.

He continued, "Maggie, you didn't disappoint this time. Successfully signing a contract with Mr. Lewis ensures a steady supply of gems for our jewelry, and now we just wait for the delivery from his end.

Vanessa quickly interjected. “Uncle Ronald, we're well aware of the C importance of designers. That's why Joseph and I have been in constant communication with a famous domestic jewelry designer. His fmay not match those international names, but he's certainly more attuned to what we needed. Ronald nodded and was prompted again, "Which designer are you in contact with? Are you confident?"

"We plan to hire Andy Farrow, who has been invited to international jewelry exhibitions multiple times and has won numerous awards both domestically and internationally. He should give us his answer by tomorrow night at the latest," Joseph said firmly. Hearing this, Maggie's heart sank a little.

Andy Farrow? As a jewelry designer, she didn't just know him; she knew him too well.

Maggie and Andy had crossed paths m several times at competitions, both nationally and internationally. Of course, he was mostly defeated at el her hands, which led him to pester her incessantly, always eager for face-to-face exchange. H She didn't have tfor that, so she completely ignored him out of fear of having her identity revealed.

Over time, Andy cto view her as a thorn in his side, constantly picking fights and throwing sarcastic remarks her way.

Setting that aside, Andy was indeed a designer with vision.

Despite her disapproval of his antics, Maggie admired his work. Not only that, but she knew in her previous life that once Andy joined another company, he designed many popular pieces.

Maggie's eyes turned icy. There was no denying that the Camerons were in luck.

She had anticipated that Joseph would look for a new candidate to fill the gap, but she never expected him to stumble upon Andy.

Yet if she were to bring down Luster Corporation, she could not allow Joseph to sign Andy, not by any means.
