Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 222 Temptation The conversation veered back to Luster Corporation, and Ronald's interest peaked.

"Mr. Harris, maybe you don't know, but both the Camerons and Maggie have worked hard for Luster Corporation this time. Sadly, Luster Corporation has been targeted deliberately. I know you're close with the Adams, and we're not trying to compete with them. We just wonder if you have any advice, Mr.

Harris...

Ronald humbly sought guidance.

Maggie, familiar with Ronald, caught the underlying message.

He was trying to use Nathael's connection with her to aid Luster Corporation.

Nathael's gaze met Ronald's directly. "Mr. Cameron, after years in business, you must know that reputation is the hardest thing to repair.

"Your idea of using fan economics to counter the damage is already the best way. I'm afraid I can't offer any better advice." Nathael spoke solemnly. Although he didn't mention helping the Camerons, his approval relieved Ronald a bit.

At least it showed Nathael wouldn't target the Camerons, and that they were on the right track.

Unfortunately, it seemed their joint competition might not yield the desired results.

Nathael continued, "Mr. Cameron, if you plan to rely on fan support, you should broaden your horizons. beyond your current efforts.

"Are you suggesting, Mr. Harris, that the Camerons invest in talent shows and competitions?" Ronald asked cautiously.

"Exactly." Ronald sighed, pondering. "Mr. Harris, you might not know, but I've thought about this too. However, the Camerons' finances are tight. Do you have any suitable projects?" Nathael looked at Joseph and said icily, "Though I'm interested in Maggie, I've always doubted the Camerons' motives. Mr. Cameron, your son once said that Maggie was scheming against me. What do think about that?" Ronald was stunned.

He glanced at Joseph, whose expression had changed tically. He felt angry and frustrated.

Ronald knew which incident Nathael referred to.

Despite being astute himself, Ronald felt furious at his children's foolishness. They could get nothing right, and he was pissed just thinking about it.

you Joseph felt embarrassed but stepped forward. "That's not what I meant, Mr. Harris. I was concerned about your many admirers, and I was afraid that Maggie wasn't a good fit for you. I also worried you might tire of 14:47 Fri, 24 May B Chapter 222 Temptation Joseph wasn't naive; he knew the situation and tried to explain.

Ronald softened slightly upon hearing this, thinking that his son wasn't beyond redemption.

Nathael chuckled, his dark eyes sharp. “Brother? I recall that you and Maggie dated once. Could it be that you can't control your feelings?" The two men looked at each other, and Joseph felt as if there was a venomous snake wrapped around his neck, as Nathael's eyes revealed a cold, murderous aura.

Yes, murderous.

He could acutely sense Nathael's displeasure.

Joseph felt a lump in his throat. Am I really unable to control my feelings? Was my past weird behaviour due to that? Ronald cursed inwardly.

Though Maggie and Joseph never explicitly dated, anyone observant could see hints.

1. I care about Maggie... Joseph tried to explain, but his gaze fell on Maggie beside Nathael, his expression complex.

It's true that I like her, but it's not that much But since when did I start finding it hard to look away from her? And when did I start feeling jealous and angry seeing her with others? He thought of her as his, but in the end, he never truly had her, and she left without a backward glance.

Nathael chuckled, losing interest in the conversation.

At the moment, Ronald, despite his extensive business experience, felt nervous.

"Mr. Harris, Maggie and Joseph grew up together, so it's natural for sto misunderstand. But I can assure you, they have nothing going on Nathael's enigmatic look made Ronald uneasy, unable to continue.

It seemed like he knew more than he let on.

Further explaining it would feel forced.

Seeing Ronald pause, Nathael dropped the subject. He spoke seriously, "I won't guess the Camerons' intentions. Let's talk business. For Maggie's sake, I'm okay with the Camerons taking out a mortgage." Maggie was stunned for a moment by this.

Ronald taking out a mortgage? Nathael is truly cunning! 14:47 Frl, 24 May B Chapter 222 Temptation Ronald put on a humble stance to get him to invest, but Nathael didn't agree to lend him money but offered a loan instead.

With the Camerons' reputation at rock bottom and their businessm struggling, gettingla bank loan is almost impossible, and the amount they could get would be small. So Nathaci suggested a mortgage loan as a practical solution.

Sure, Ronald could mortgage his assets directly with the bank. But with the Camerons' debt, it would be hard for the bank to offer a good loan amount.

If the Camerons financial situation worsens, sof their assets will be seized.

So, it might be better to mortgage assets to Nathael first, get a loan, and revitalize Luster Corporation.

But Maggie knew Nathael was setting a trap, tempting Ronald to invest more.

It didn't matter how much money was thrown into this operation; they would never get it back, because both she and Nathael would never let Luster Corporation make a comeback. The more Ronald invested, the more he'd lose, and the loss would pile up.

"Of course, everything has risks, Mr.

Cameron, so you should be cautious. Perhaps cutting losses might be a good idea," Nathael suggested, appearing to offer advice. But Maggie knew he had understood Ronald's mindset. Ronald wouldn't give up easily.

It was like a risky gamble where the more he lost, the harder it was to quit. He would want to wait it out and win big in the next round.

But in reality, he would be forced to leave the table when he had nothing left to bet.
