“Maggie, can you think of anything? I need your thoughts.”

Maggie paused, lost in contemplation, while Mary, growing impatient with the silence, sharply criticized, “Why the silence? You’re known for your effectiveness. After all the years with the Camerons, how can you hesitate now when it matters most?”

Ronald, with a concerned expression, cut in, “Stop. We’re in a dire predicament that can’t be solved just by talking.”

Mary, despite her harsh words, was on the verge of tears.

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.
