Chapter 2024: Chapter 2027

Ignoring Vinson, Maggie pressed on, “Rodney, if we invest in new equipment, will the products yield profits for the company?”

“Without a doubt,” Rodney confirmed.

“While the initial returns may be slow, the reputation gained from producing such unique items will be invaluable.

It’s a venture that demands patience, but the long-term returns are promising.

”

Grasping the implications, Maggie resolved, “I understand.

I’ll take care of the financial arrangements.

”

Vinson, relieved at the prospect of a solution to the financial hurdle, eagerly chimed in, “That’s excellent news.

Once headquarters approves the funds for new equipment, we’ll fully support the endeavor.

”

“Agreed,” Maggie concurred, and with their discussions concluded, she made her exit.

Downstairs, Karl awaited her arrival, greeting her with a warm smile.

“All done?” he inquired.

“Yes,” Maggie affirmed with a nod.

“Karl, thank you for your assistance earlier.

”

Karl’s smile widened.

“It’s my pleasure.

Besides, I had to take advantage of the situation a bit.

”

“Take advantage of me?” Maggie echoed, momentarily perplexed.

“Of course.

I introduced you as my girlfriend.

Isn’t that taking advantage of you?” Karl quipped playfully, his tone lighthearted.

Maggie looked at him, touched by his kindness.

Karl’s words dispelled any lingering discomfort she felt.

“Let’s go meet your mom,” Karl suggested, breaking the momentary silence.

Maggie’s smile faltered at the mention of her parents, and she remained silent.

She hadn’t been in contact with her parents lately, but her brother kept her informed about family matters.

Ever since conflicts arose between her uncle Blake’s family and hers, her parents faced criticism from other relatives and friends aligned with Blake’s family.

Despite her parents’ hardships, they continued to defer to Blake’s family, making Maggie feel responsible for their troubles.

She couldn’t comprehend their actions.

Lost in her thoughts, Maggie was startled by the approach of a group of people calling her name.

“Maggie!” they exclaimed.

Maggie recognized the woman as her uncle Blake’s wife, Reyna.

Behind Reyna were her younger brother, her sister-in-law and Cyrus.

Reyna glared at Maggie with venom that it seemed she might attack her on the spot.
