Now, they faced not only the loss of materials but also a blow to their worldwide reputation. For the Camerons, overcoming this hurdle seemed as formidable as reaching the heavens.

Maggie empathized with Mary’s distress deeply. Upon the establishment of the Luster Corporation, both Noah and Mary had committed substantial resources. Now facing the possibility of losing it all, Mary’s concern was palpable.
