Maggie couldn’t hide a faint smile when she heard this.
Indeed, they had to give to receive. Nathael’s offer of 150 million was the perfect bait.
If it had been too much, it might have made Ronald suspicious. After all, Nathael was a businessman at heart. If the bait had been too little, it wouldn’t have caught Ronald’s attention.

“Dad, I don’t want to put you in a spot … Maggie said, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at Ronald, clearly touched.
Ronald frowned. “Not at all. Even though things are tough right now, we’ll find a way.”
ith that, Ronald called the secretary and lawyer to calculate the assets in front of o
Sierra watched, growing angrier by the minute.
Olivia’s heart was conflicted too. He’s giving her more? Maggie’s received more this year than in the past decade combined!
But Olivia held back her emotions when she thought about Nathael’s offer of 150 million.
Their family was in a really bad situation, but outsiders didn’t know the full extent of it. They were basically robbing Peter to pay Paul.
They owed Nathael a lot of money, as well as debts to the bank and construction party. If they couldn’t pay, creditors would come knocking.
Seeing Ronald agree, Alex spoke up, “In addition to the 150 million we’re paying the Camerons, Mr. Harris. will also give Ms. Adam two villas, a hotel, a shopping mall, a yacht, and three shops
Maggie was stunned for a moment, instinctively looking at Nathael.
Nathael had already transferred many things to her name, and now he was giving her even more.
Shouldn’t I refuse his gifts at this point?
Maggie counted the days in her head. There were thirteen days until the date she promised Timmothy, thirteen days until she would have to break up with Nathael.
She had less than a week until the competition ended, meaning she and Nathael only had a week left after
that.
Thinking about this, Maggie’s mood sank.
“Why are you giving me so much, Nathael? Don’t you think that’s a bad idea?” Maggie asked Nathael, trying to gauge his intentions without outright refusing in front of the Camerons.
Nathael reassured her, “It’s fine. These are all for you.”
Hearing this, Maggie didn’t say anything else, knowing Nathael was intentionally misleading Ronald. The 150 million offer was ambiguous. Would Ronald really believe the money was for him?

Regardless of Ronald’s thoughts, he was now calculating his assets.
About twenty minutes later. Ronald said heavily, “Maggie, our family’s situation is really tight. Your upbringing and marriage into the Harrises are both fates. We can’t give much, but we’ve tried our best… NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
With that. Ronald had the secretary give Maggie several property deeds. Ronald explained, “A suburban villa, two shops, and 15 percent ownership in two companies.”
Taking them. Maggie carefully inspected them. The suburban villa might not be worth much, but it could still fetch around 1.5 million in Aquapolis. The two shops, though small, were in good locations and could be worth over 3 million combined.
As for the two companies, they were Cameron Group Industries and Cameron Group Building Materials, of which she would own 15 percent of the shares.
They were both the Camerons‘ family business, but their ownership had been divided over time. Still, the Camerons remained the main shareholders.
Seeing this. Maggie could understand Ronald’s plan.
She had never been allowed to get involved in the core businesses of the Camerons before, even when she wanted to help, and she never had real authority.
Presenting her with the equity was unprecedented, even though the value of Cameron’s equity had plummeted recently.
Maggie quietly did the math in her head. Initially, the Camerons had a 60 percent stake, but after some transfers, they retained 45 percent.
With her 15 percent and the shares bought by Leo in secret, she barely reached 25 percent.
Ronald wasn’t foolish; he must have anticipated that Nathael’s money might not directly go to him. So, he used the equity as leverage over Maggie.
If Maggie stayed loyal, the equity would incentivize her to work harder for the Camerons and invest the money back into the company.
However, if she had doubts, the company’s performance would still directly impact her dividends, compelling her to seek ways to boost profits.
Even if Maggie refused to invest the money back into the companies, given the Camerons‘ current financial woes, her holding onto the shares wouldn’t affect them much. Even if she sold them, the Camerons would still retain majority control.
Though Ronald’s mind was racing, Maggie could see through his intentions clearly.
She estimated the value of the shares to be around 15 million at the current market price, far from the
peak of the Camerons‘ succes”

Ronald had strategized well. If the Camerons failed, he’d abandon Cameron Group Industries and Cameron Group Building Materials.
The family’s key assets were tied to Cameron Group Renovations, and with another building materials and real estate company under Noah’s name, he had an escape plan. He had really covered it all.

“Dad… it’s too much… I can’t accept all this!” Maggie protested tearfully, playing her part in the drama.
Sierra, nearly losing her composure, rose from the sofa. “Dad, why are you giving her so much? You only gave me two percent on my birthday! How could you give that out… give her this much?!”
She almost called Maggie an outsider, but a sharp pain in her mouth reminded her of Nathael’s warning.
Maggie smirked internally. Sierra’s two percent from before held more value than her current fifteen
percent.
If she could revive Cameron Group Industries and Cameron Group Building Materials, Ronald would surely find a way to reclaim those shares.
Additionally, she was now poisoned by the Dream Venom; she had no children and had no certainty of marrying Nathael, so when she passed away or the poison was triggered early, the assets would still revert to the Camerons through inheritance.
Maggie couldn’t help but admire Ronald’s cunningness. He’s played his hand masterfully!
