Chapter 224 Emotional Blackmail
Ronald trembled with rage, while Maggie’s lips curved slightly.
Sometimes, karma comes back through one’s own children.
Ronald was a shrewd man who was good at deception, but with an idiot of a daughter like Sierra, it was not wonder he was furious.
Sierra, upon hearing this, became even more rebellious,
“Have you seen the jewelry you guys them to change the jewelry for the sake of Luster Corporation. Who knew none of you were around!”
prepared for me? Do you really think anyone would like that? I asked
Sierra raised her voice in defiance, challenging Ronald, while Maggie observed the scene with interest.
Frustrated, Ronald raised his hand and delivered a slap.
Slap!
Sierra’s tears flowed instantly. “Dad, you hit me! I can’t believe you hit me! Do you all think Maggie is perfect? If that’s the case, why don’t you just let her be your real daughter?!”
“Sierra, don’t talk to your dad like that!” Olivia hurried forward to pull Sierra away, her eyes full of worry.
Maggie stood still, unsure whether to intervene. But deep down, she felt a chill.
Families like the Camerons appeared strong during good times but would fall apart when faced with trouble.
However, this chaos presented an opportunity for Maggie.
If the people in this family held grudges and schemed against each other, she believed the Camerons would collapse.
Joseph stood up and said, “Dad, calm down. Sierra makes a valid point. Who would send such valuable items to the wrong person, especially right before going on stage? Sierra was caught off guard, which is understandable.”
With a stern expression, Ronald declared, “The Adams must be behind this.”
Madam Cameron interjected, “I’m not so sure. The Adams‘ jewelry in question is from a few years ago. If I remember correctly, there were only a few pieces, which should have been sold out by now. There. shouldn’t be any left in stock.”
“Noah, go and investigate.”
Before Ronald could finish speaking, Sierra pushed Olivia aside and rushed out, shouting, “I know! It must
you and that woman, Mia! You must have done this!”
be
Maggie was surprised, but she had to acknowledge that Sierra wasn’t completely stupid.
“Sierra, stop making unfounded accusations!” Ronald reprimanded coldly.

And that Mia, she’s been causing trouble for me all along. That necklace must’ve been from her!”
Upon the sudden realisation, Sierra’s eyes reddened, and her chest heaved violently.
Those two biches plotted against me!
They did this to me!
Maggie’s eyes filled with tears as she said, “Sierra, I know you’ve always disliked me, and you’re jealous that Mom and Dad always praise me. I know I’m not a Harris, but I never wanted to compete with you…. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
As she spoke, Maggie wiped away the tears that had formed with great
difficulty.
“Maggie, stop pretending! Don’t think I don’t know your true intentions! Tell me! Did you plan this? Are you afraid I’ll steal your opportunities? Are you jealous of me?”
As Sierra spoke, she charged at Maggie, her anger blazing like a wildfire.
Joseph quickly stepped in, his tone frosty. “That’s it!”
“Joseph, are you also taking her side?” Sierra’s disbelief was evident as she looked at him, her eyes filled with surprise and disappointment.
At that moment, Maggie seemed to remember something, her eyes turning red as she glanced at Ronald. “Dad, maybe…maybe I’m somehow involved in this incident…”
Ronald frowned. “What do you mean?”
Maggie spoke slowly. “Sierra and Mia have never gotten along. They had a heated argument backstage,
Suddenly, Noah rose from the sofa. “Mia posted a video on Twitter, and it’s trending.”
‘Miss Cameron’s high–handedness.”
The real face of the Camerons hypocrisy!”
The Camerons are blackmailing Maggie emotionally!”
The comments went on.
Maggie wasn’t sure if it was Leo or Mia’s doing, but in no time, several Tweets became trending.
Everyone took out their phones and clicked on the posts. They watched a video recorded backstage by
Mia.
Sierra stood by Maggie’s makeup table, looking down on her.
“Maggie, think about why you’re in this university competition. The Camerons have supported you all these years. If you refuse to wear Luster Corporation’s jewelry, I’ll make you!”
Mia shared the video on her official Twitter account, with the caption, “What terrible jewelry Luster Corporation gave Maggie! It’s embarrassing! Even if they’re trying to emotionally blackmail someone, they should put in some effort!”

Mia had tens of thousands of fans, and with Leo’s influence, the Tweets quickly gained traction.
Furthermore, Mia thoughtfully uploaded high–quality images of the jewelry sets prepared by Luster Corporation for Maggie in the comments.
The large, flashy logos on them immediately drew criticism.
“Wow, I never knew this was Maggie’s life in the Camerons. Sierra’s behaviour towards her seems routine.
This is so ugly! Get Maggie out of there. Although I think everything looks good on her, I have to admit. this is really tacky!‘
The Camerons are disgusting. Who knows what else is going on behind the scenes. It seems Maggie isn’t treated well by the Camerons in normal times; she’s just a pawn!‘
What’s wrong with Sierra? I hate her cocky behaviour. Ugh!‘
The design from the Cameron Group is really terrible, and they’re selling it at such a high price. Would anyone really buy it?”
I wonder what the Camerons will think when they see Sierra wearing Adam Group’s jewelry on stage. It’s truly the biggest spectacle of the year.
‘Maggie must have made quite a bit of money for the Camerons over the years, right? Didn’t expect her to be treated like tr*sh. Poor girl!”
‘Cameron Group is so disgusting, copying and tricking consumers. We need a thorough investigation by
the authorities!”
The comments
were
endless.
Maggie read the comments, her expression unchanged.
No hurry, the Camerons‘ downfall is coming.
“Maggie, Mia has always been close to you. Give her a call and ask her what’s going on!” Ronald’s breath was slightly unsteady.
Hearing this, Maggie nodded and dialed Mia’s number before putting it on speakerphone. “Mia, did you give
Sierra that necklace she wore?”
With just one question, Mia immediately understood and laughed coldly. “Yes, it was me. Sierra has been a thorn in my side for a while. She’s always been causing trouble for you, and I’ve had enough of her antics. This time, she’s gone too far, so I of course I had to do something!”
