Chapter 355 Skill Issue

Maggie remained silent, engrossed in fiddling with the necklace in front of the mirror, seemingly oblivious to Sierra’s frustration.

Enraged, Sierra dashed forward and seized Maggie’s necklace. “Are you even listening to me?” she yelled.

In an instant, the necklace constricted, leaving a crimson mark on Maggie’s neck as the delicate threads of the chain left two small scratches.

Her forehead creasing, Maggie shoved her ofl. “What’s the matter with you?”

Sierra was on the brink of insanity.

Subsumed by rage. Sierra shot Maggie a killer glare, her eyes filled with hatred and dismay.

Maggie responded with an icy stare. A sneer crept up her face. “You’re a fool if you think your family is enough for a good life.”

“Don’t you see your father for the man he is? When the family’s doing well, they spoil you like no tomorrow. But the moment trouble comes knocking, they pawn you off like a chip for bargain.”

Maggie didn’t mince words. She continued, “I might not be as posh as you are, but at least I’m useful. I can keep Nathael interested and deal with the company. I can even win competitions. But what about you?”

Sierra felt like she was hit over the head by something heavy. Her mind was blank.

“Dad loves you conditionally. The moment you make a blunder, he tosses you aside and gives me the jewelry. And you’ll be having an arranged marriage. Family’s orders. Three guesses what kind of man you’ll be marrying. Factor in the family’s situation.”

A mocking smirk curled Maggie’s lips. Every word she said tore Sierra’s heart apart bit by bit.

Sierra hobbled backwards. She chuntered, “No. That’s a lie. I’m not falling for it.”

“You’re just a pawn the Camerons won’t hesitate to throw away. Snap out of it. You’d better come up with an exit strategy while you can.” Maggie swooped away, a sneer on her face.

Sierra remained petrified, her throat parched. She didn’t want to believe Maggie, but when she went through everything that’d happened lately, she knew she couldn’t lie to herself.
