Chapter 33 She Would Bring Chaos To The Camerons
“Maggie! How dare you act and refuse to admit it! What are you pretending? I just wanted to borrow a necklace from you, but you threatened me with a dagger. And now, you still want to deny it!”
Sierra was furious at Maggie’s attitude, and she could barely control her anger. She never expected Maggie to deny it and pretend to be ignorant.
The eyes of Madam Cameron, Master Cameron, Olivia, and Ronald shifted back and forth between Maggie and Sierra.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to believe Sierra, but based on what had happened over the years, Maggie wouldn’t do such a thing. On the contrary, Sierra, who was always spoiled and aggressive, was more likely to be the culprit.
“Sierra, you can argue with your sister, but you can’t slander her like this! Besides, today is a special occasion. You asked your sister to play the piano without permission. I think our family has really spoiled you!” Madam Cameron spoke in a deep voice, scolding her discontentedly.
Sierra’s eyes turned red with anger. She hurriedly explained, “Grandma, don’t you believe me? What I said is true. Maggie threatened me with a dagger, right here… she put the dagger on my neck.”
Although they all secretly wanted to support Sierra, when they looked up, Sierra’s neck was clean. Apart from a valuable diamond necklace, there was no trace of anything.
Maggie curled her lips, concealing her satisfaction. Her eyes were cold.
So, sometimes, doing good deeds does have its benefits. After all, no one would believe it if a good person occasionally did something bad.
Just wait and see. She would repay the Camerons‘ kindness.
She would bring chaos to the Camerons in this life.
Maggie raised her head. Her eyes were misty. She took off the necklace around her neck and choked, “Mom, Dad, I know I’m just a child fortunate enough to be adopted by you. I don’t deserve these things, so I never thought about fighting for anything.
Today, it just happened that the banquet was about to start. I didn’t have time to take off the necklace for Sierra. Besides, I thought the emerald main stone didn’t match Sierra’s pink dress, so I said a few more words. I didn’t expect…”
Maggie didn’t finish her sentence. Her eyes were red as she handed the necklace to Olivia.
“Maggie! You weren’t like this at th
time!”
Her aggrieved appearance almost suffocated Sierra. She pointed at her for a long time without being able to speak.
“Mom, I shouldn’t have used such expensive things. In the future, don’t bother preparing them for me. Also, I’ll try not to show up at family banquets.”
Maggie looked at Olivia and handed the necklace without hesitation.
nonsense are you talking about? You and Sierra are both our daughters. You won’t lack anything that you
should have!”
Master Cameron also chimed in. “That’s right. You’re the child we raised with our own hands. What’s this about not deserving? What Sierra has, you should have too.”
Master Cameron continued, “Since you’re studying design, let your dad transfer the ownership of Amour Creative to you. You should learn to manage the family business.”
“Yes, Mom has two sets of jewelry that are very suitable for you. I’ll send them to you later,” Olivia also added.
“I disagree!”
Sierra was so angry that her eyes darkened. She never expected that Maggie, who had humiliated her so much, would gain so much.
She rushed to Olivia, grabbed the necklace around Maggie’s neck, and yanked it off.
“Maggie, let me tell you! Don’t even think about it! Stop pretending to be innocent here. You’re just an illegitimate child we brought back home. Nothing in this house will ever be yours!”
Slap!
Before Sierra could finish her sentence, a loud slap echoed.
Ronald slapped her hard with a cold face. Sierra felt the world spin. Her head buzzed, and her vision blurred.
“Be quiet! Look at yourself. What are you saying? Go to your room and think about your actions!”
Ronald spoke angrily, clearly losing his temper.
Although Sierra was naive and arrogant, at least her relationship with Maggie had always been good.
Maggie was a crucial part of their plan to destroy the Adams. They couldn’t afford to let Maggie have any other ideas, or else all their efforts would be wasted.
Furthermore, aside from Maggie’s personal values, the Camerons had started in the construction industry. Now, Maggie was a prominent figure in the field of architectural design. They had many projects relying on her.
Sierra had always been spoiled at home, and Maggie had accommodated her. It could be said that Sierra had never been hit since she was a child.
She looked at Ronald in disbelief, with anger burning in her eyes.
“Dad, you hit me? You hit me because of her?”
“You need to reflect on yourself. You started trouble, falsely accused your sister, and caused problems. I think you’ve been living too comfortably!” Ronald stood with his hands behind his back, scolding her coldly.
She turned her head to look at Olivia. She cried and asked, “Mom, do you believe me? Do you believe what I said is true?”
Olivia looked at her swollen cheek with heartache, but what she said was too extreme.
Regardless of the truth, her confrontation with Maggie could ruin years of planning.
Olivia calmed down a bit. She helped Sierra up and said gently, “Okay, Sierra. I will believe you for now. But you said Maggie threatened you with a dagger. Do you have any.
any evidence?”
Sierra was stunned for a few seconds, as if she had never considered this possibility.
“Evidence?”
Yes, like witnesses, physical evidence, or anything else. Where did it happen? Is there any surveillance, or did anyone see it?”
Olivia patiently guided her, but deep down, she was more inclined to believe her own daughter.
“Yes, it happened right outside the side entrance of the banquet hall,” Sierra exclaimed: She stood up in a hurry, trying to find the surveillance footage at the scene.
They followed her to the mentioned location, each with their own thoughts and concerns.
Maggie, on the other hand, remained composed, leisurely trailing behind.
“Here it is. Let’s check the hotel’s surveillance footage, and we’ll surely find… Sierra paused before finishing her sentence.
There was no surveillance available.
The hotel’s corridors and the banquet hall were equipped with surveillance cameras. Unfortunately, the connecting passage between the banquet hall and the corridor, measuring approximately two meters in length, had no surveillance equipment. It was a blind spot.
“Oh, right! The dagger! She must have hidden the dagger on her!” Sierra glared fiercely at Maggie with her bloodshot eyes.
