Chapter 226 Boys or Girls

“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.

Afterward, they all left the study one by one, and Maggie powered down her computer.

Sitting at her desk, lost in thought, she mulled over Master Cameron’s earlier words.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Maggie glanced at it. It was Timmothy.

She checked the time subconsciously and realised she was supposed to meet him tomorrow.

Timmothy?”

“Hey, Maggie. His warm voice came through the line.

“What’s up?” Maggie asked gently.

Maggie felt a bit puzzled but couldn’t quite grasp it.

“I took lessons when I was younger and stuck with it. Before I knew it, here I am.” Maggie replied warmly.

“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.”
