“Okay, no matter if Maggie’s caught on or not, we can’t just depend on her and Nathael’s relationship. I say we take a gamble. If the Adams can do it, why can’t we?”

“Are you thinking about taking out a mortgage with the Harrises?” Noah questioned.

“Yeah, if we don’t risk it, we’re doomed for sure. But if we do, there’s still a slim chance…”

They discussed for a while, figuring out which assets to use as collateral, which projects to invest in, and which celebrities to endorse.

“I love playing the piano too. I used to get sick a lot as a kid, and my family wouldn’t let me play outside, so I ended up reading books and playing the piano out of boredom, Timmothy reminisced.

Maggie chuckled. “Sounds a bit sad, but having plenty of time to spend sounds like a good thing.”
