Chapter 199 I Will Give My All
Do you think you stand a chance at winning the championship?” Ronald asked.
“Huh? What?” Maggie was stunned for a few seconds, pretending to be puzzled.
“Last time at Sierra’s banquet, I heard you play. At that time, several experts there praised your skill, saying you have a high level of expertise and are extraordinary, on par with internationally renowned pianists. So, I know you’re talented.”
Ronald’s words were sincere, while Olivia beside him looked uncasy.
After Master Cameron expelled Sierra from the Camerons, as her mother, she must’ve felt remorseful for her daughter. She left Sierra with her parents to be raised by the Pierces.
Though Sierra hadn’t faced much hardship lately, she couldn’t go home and many things had been taken away from her. How could she be happy?
“Dad, my piano skills are just average. You also know that I stopped studying piano after more than a year. Although I met a few teachers later, my abilities were limited. It might be possible to win a prize, but the championship is beyond my capabilities!”
Maggie immediately dismissed the idea. She glanced at Olivia and added thoughtfully, “Dad, Sierra has been studying hard all these years and she just won an international award again. Why don’t you ask her to come back? Oh, but I’m not sure if she has registered…
As Maggie spoke, she was hesitating as if recalling something.
Olivia chimed in, “Is it for the University’s Piano Competition? She talked about signing up a few days ago. She has been away for so long, confronting life’s trials without the comforts of home. Now
she recognises the value of hard effort and determination!”
“Yes, Dad, I’ll give my best, but if you want to win, Sierra has a better shot,” Maggie advised gently.
*Moreover, there are no problems that a family can’t overcome. Right now we’re experiencing a crisis, and Sierra’s misunderstanding of me is nothing compared to that.”
Seeing Maggie’s pleasant attitude, Olivia nodded. She then looked at her son.
Joseph’s eyes fell on Maggie. It became increasingly difficult to understand her actions.
He received the impression that sometimes she was full of malice, especially when Sierra claimed Maggie had threatened her with a knife in the past.
But right now she appeared to be worried about sisterhood and releasing old resentments.
Ronald frowned and said nothing!
“Dad, please let Sierra come back, otherwise I will feel very guilty,” Maggie insisted.
At last, Ronald showed signs of surrender. “Dad, what do you think?” he consulted with Master Cameron.
Master Cameron glanced downwards, waving his hand dismissively. “Why bother asking me if it is good for the Camerons? More Importantly, despite Sierra’s immaturity, she is still one of us.”

Seeing Master Cameron’s reaction, Ronald went straight to the point.

“I intend to boost the investment in the competition to attract more viewers. At the same

Maggie considered Ronald’s suggestion, she had to admit that although Ronald had a de mind and
no bottom line, he was not a brainless person.
In her past life, he achieved success through both strategic thinking and his
int mind.
It seemed Ronald had his sights set on a fan centred approach.
“In this way, we will gain a large fan base and also be able to promote Luster Corporation’s products.
Winning the championship will undoubtedly attract attention, and the

Maggie stayed calm, seriously analysing the possibility of his proposition.
But beneath the surface, she sneered coldly.

If she didn’t consider sacrificing Sierra, she was afraid that she would be held solely responsible.
The Luster Corporation’s soiled reputation was widely known.
Maggie worried about being criticised and booed off the stage if she wore the Camerons‘ jewellery to compete.
Ronald was good at making plans.
“Dad, what you’re saying is reasonable, but the problem is, I lack the necessary skills to win the championship…” Maggie halted her words, considering her next move.
“Don’t worry, just do your best. Sierra will also work hard. Once you two take the lead, people will recognise the value of our Luster Corporation.”
Maggie nodded obediently and looked at him with determination. “I promise that I will give my all.”
“I also plan to keep up this trend by hiring talent show contestants to wear Luster Corporation’s jewellery during the competition. The majority of these contestants are novices who can be hired easily. And most of them will be delighted to join with the added incentive of free jewellery,” Ronald elaborated.
Olivia nodded and said, “Initially, they didn’t have a fan base, so any criticism will be less damaging. As their fame grows, we may be able to work on designs with them.”
“Yeah, I intend to sponsor prizes for talent shows. Even with Luster Corporation’s current reputation, delivering genuine gold and silver rewards should attract customers without any fuss. It’s an opportunity to grow our customer base,” Ronald stated firmly, laying out his thoughts.

He had planned this tactic ahead of time but had kept it a secret until now.
“But, Dad, using this tactic will still result in a substantial financial outflow for Luster Corporation, and we’re currently short on funds,” Joseph remarked.
He had been working with Ronald in managing the company’s business lately, with the majority of his work including asset liquidation and realisation.
If Luster Corporation wanted to invest more, then they must sell more assets.
However, after disposing of Maggie’s assigned assets and selling off low–profit, long–held assets, the family had already lost almost a third of its wealth.
Ronald thought it over and murmured, “Then we have to keep selling. If Luster Corporation goes belly- up, we’ll be swamped with debtors.”
“Dad, why don’t you think about it again? The matter is too risky. Plus, we don’t know how much profit the fan incentives will generate, and the majority of our current assets are operational,” Maggie advised.
Ronald stated solemnly, “There’s no need to discuss this any longer. This matter is settled.”
At this moment, Sierra walked into the living room wearing a long red dress and a pair of big sunglasses.
