Maggie took a moment to ponder before speaking. “We only have three days left to complete the design. It’s impossible to redraw them in such a short time. To win this project, we’ll have to take a risk.”
Both Master Cameron and Ronald quickly grasped her meaning without further explanation.
“Do you mean we have to purchase someone else’s design?” Master Cameron asked cautiously.
Maggie nodded and continued, “We created our designs before bidding, so it’s possible that other participants have done the same. Starting from scratch at this point is not feasible.”
“Moreover, they would have access to precise data for the design, ensuring no data issues.”
Master Cameron and Ronald fell into silence.
Maggie was right. Architectural design requires a scientific and rigorous approach to ensure structural integrity and safety. Mistakes could lead to catastrophic consequences, such as building collapses.
“However, this means that many of the building materials we’ve already purchased will go to waste.” Maggie was confident that the Camerons understood her point.
Previously. Master Cameron had made plans for Joseph to purchase building materials based on her design. However, changing the plan now would result in a significant amount of waste.
Upon hearing this, both Master Cameron and Ronald became quiet and concerned.
The Herschire Cultural Park project was a profitable venture for the Cameron family. However, wasting expensive building materials, especially wood, which is challenging to store, would be a painful loss.
“Whose design do you think we should buy?” Ronald concluded that the building materials would go to waste regardless of whether the Herschire Cultural Park project was successful.
If the project could move forward, some of the materials could still be used, and the income generated. would still make a profit for the Cameron family.
Maggie silently contemplated this suggestion.
After a while, she said, “Royal Construction, Modern Construction, and the Calebs.”
“Two construction companies, Royal Construction and Modern Construction, are participating in the bidding process. However, their conservative leadership may result in outdated and uninspired designs. They may not be willing to offer their designs to us.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“What about the Calebs?” Ronald asked.
“As far as I know, Leo is in charge of this area in the Calebs. The Calebs want to get into construction, and Leo has many connections. He might be willing to sell us his design.”
Maggie restrained herself from appearing too eager or opportunistic in front of Ronald, as it might make him suspicious.
She was confident that the Cameron family would choose Leo over the other two companies, who had

Master Cameron couldn’t afford to lose face.
Leo was the best choice for the project. He had the support of the Calebs, had no bad blood with the Cameron family, and was most likely to do them a favor.
Maggie wasn’t in a rush and gave Master Cameron and Ronald ample time to consider their options.
If she was going to trap them, she would do it thoroughly.
The Herschire Cultural Park project alone was not enough.
After a while, Ronald made a decision. “Maggie, if you’re available today, can you please arrange a meeting with Leo? I remember that you had some interaction with him at the last banquet. Please find out his asking price and see if it’s within our budget.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange the meeting right away.”
With that, Maggie left the Camerons‘ residence.
When she arrived home, Leo was waiting for her downstairs.
Maggie was in a good mood and ran over to him, saying, “Leo, everything went smoothly.”
Leo stood on the balcony, extinguishing his cigarette while smiling warmly. “From today on, you’re a millionaire, Maggie.”
Leo accompanied Maggie to the upper floor, where they sorted out the assets that Ronald had transferred to her name. Maggie was excited and roughly estimated the total value of the assets.
“Help me deal with those jewelry and bags later,” Maggie said softly.
“You’re not keeping them? Leo stood by the window, the wind brushing against his roguish yet elegant face, adding a touch of gentleness.
“No, I don’t want to keep these items from the Camerons, Maggie said.
Her words trailed off when she noticed a man standing against the light.
Olivia and Madam Cameron had given her some gifts, including several sets of flashy jewelry. While they weren’t the finest, they were valuable. When the jewelry was given to her, she could see that Olivia was in pain, as if she was hurting.
Initially, she didn’t want to keep them. Just looking at these items from the Cameron family made her feel
sick.
But then she realized that keeping and wearing them in front of Olivia and Madam Cameron would annoy
them.
She also planned to show them off in front of Sierra.
Maggie realized Leo was reminding her and couldn’t help but laugh. “Then I’ll keep the expensive ones.”

The warm sunlight surrounded her, and her eyes sparkled with excitement, clearly showing what she liked and didn’t like.
Leo walked forward, picked up some papers from the coffee table, and flipped through them.
“The brand of this restaurant could be worth four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. However, its popularity has declined and it may lose value over time. You should sell it as soon as possible,” Leo said. softly.
“Okay, I didn’t plan to keep it anyway. Maggie pushed a pile of contracts in front of him and nodded thoughtfully. She gave him a smirk and said, “Since you’re such a good person, why don’t you help me go through all of them?”
Leo laughed and took off his coat before accepting the contracts from Maggie.
He then analyzed them for her while she listened attentively. Though Maggie had design talent, she struggled with the business side of things, where Leo excelled.
In a previous life, Maggie felt responsible for Leo’s death.
Now, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had brought misfortune to those who cared for her.
A crumpled piece of paper hit her head, bringing her back to reality. “What are you thinking about? You seemed lost in your own world,” a voice interrupted.
Maggie snapped out of her reveric and faced a pair of smiling eyes. Feeling somewhat sad, she sighed and replied, “Oh, nothing. I can’t help but feel like I bring bad luck.
Her voice was muffled, and Leo’s gaze softened. He chuckled and said, “Well, you may be a jinx, but you’re the most adorable one.”
Maggie couldn’t help but laugh, giving him a playful look. “Seriously, how old do you think I am? Who wants to be adorable? Being adorable won’t fill my stomach.”
