Chapter 72 Amazing Means.
"Who? Which Mr. Caleb?" Ronald asked with a frown and broke the silence after he had said nothing for a moment.
"Leo Caleb, Mr. Caleb, the servant repeated cautiously.
"What is he here for?" Ronald was annoyed. The Herschire Cultural Park project had caused significant losses for the Camerons but also upset everyone present.
Sierra's face turned pale when she heard Leo's arrival. Her fingers tightly curled, her throat tight, obviously shocked and fearful.
This Leo! A mere 750 thousand is worth it for him to cto my house! No wonder he's a lowly illegitimate child who can't show his face in publict Maggie's gaze was clear, and she spoke inadvertently as if reminding her, "I heard he wants something settled.
Madam Cameron spoke coldly, "Settled? When did the Camerons have any dealings with him? They are the ones that owe us due to the Herschire Cultural Park project. After all, for an elder, there was nothing more unpleasant than the family's future being hindered.
"Send him in." Master Cameron said in a deep voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore long, Leo visited with the accompaniment of a lawyer. Today, he donned a silver-gray suit.
"Mr. Caleb, what brings you here?" Master Cameron spoke in a deep voice. He seemed polite on the surface, but he was carefully assessing the man in front of him when he spoke.
Leo's gentle demeanor and elegant gestures made him appear as a noble son from a prestigious family from afar.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed not entirely so.
His eyes, though gentle, were too aloof. He wore a cold demeanor that seemed to look down on everything. His gaze was devoid of any warmth, as if nothing mattered to him.
In addition, there was a hint of dissoluteness and rascality in his demeanor. He was different from the typical child from a rich family, and he exuded a cunningness that made him seem unpredictable and hard to read. "Nothing much; I'm here to collect a debt, Leo said with a smile as he handed the contract to Master Cameron. Master Cameron looked at the contents of the contract. His face turned pale as he quickly flipped through the pages.
"3 million? Mr. Caleb must be mistaken!" "What do you mean by 3 million?" Madam Cameron couldn't help but ask.
1 Chapter 72 Amazing Means Master Cameron didn't answer her question; his gaze was fixed on Sierra. His voice was trembling as he asked, "You spent 3 million on the design proposal?" "I... I..." Sierra stammered. Her eyes were filled with fear.
She hadn't expected Leo to cso soon, and actually, he would personally knock on her door to collect the debt.
3 million? Wasn't it 750 thousand dollars?" Maggie added fuel to the fire. She was determined not to let Sierra off so easily.
That's right, not just the family, but she wouldn't let every single one of them off so easily.
They had separated her from her parents, made her the scapegoat for the deaths of loved ones, disfigured her face, blinded her, and even committed a tragic death. She had wrongly hated Nathael for years! The Camerons were a family of hypocrites and villains; none of them were innocent.
It was probably extrhatred that made Maggie's eyes shine astonishingly "What do you mean by 750 thousand? This idi't spent 3 million to buy that pile of waste paper! Idi*t! Idi t!" Master Cameron was shaking with anger. Olivia quickly stepped forward and picked up the contract. When she saw the numbers on it, she almost passed out from the blow.
"Sierra, what's going on? Didn't you say you only spent 750 thousand?" Sierra looked flustered, and she explained, “I ... I just thought I could cover the rest of the money myself and appease Grandpa. The drawings only cost 750 thousand from the family; the rest can be deducted from my living expenses." Slap! Madam Cameron slapped her hard across the face.
Sierra staggered and fell to the ground. She looked incredulously at Madam Cameron, who had always loved her since she was a child. She stammered, "G-Grandma...
"If only you were half as intelligent as Maggie, you wouldn't have dragged the whole family down in this mess!" Without comparison, it seemed acceptable, but when compared with the child of their enemy, Madam Cameron found it even more unbearable.
"You slapped me? All of you actually hit me! What did I do wrong?" Sierra felt the burning pain on her cheeks. The injuries that Master Cameron had inflicted on her a few days ago began to ache again.
Leo casually glanced at her and paid softly, "I have a pleasant conversation with Ms. Adam. Initially, I thought only asking for 1.5 million dollars and making friends with the Camerons would be nice. I didn't expect Ms. Sierra to be so generous and insist on giving3 million. I have no reason to refuse. Master Cameron, what do you say?" At these words, Master Cameron's face began to tremble slightly.

But in front of the outsider, he still tried to maintain a bit of dignity for his family. Master Cameron said, "I'm grateful for Mr. Caleb's kindness, but I have a question. Before selling this plan to us, aren't you aware that the authorities will recognize the origin of this design draft?" Leo's eyes were calm as he replied slowly, "Naturally, I have no idea. The design draft is classified as confidential. I have only consulted two respected old gentlemen. How could I have imagined that it would reach the ears of those above?" Listening to Leo's words, Master Cameron remained silent. However, he still felt that everything was coincidental.
No matter how much he racked his brain, at this point, his family had suffered a great loss. They gained no benefit but damaged their reputation..
Leo chuckled lightly. "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. My family did benefit from this. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for your generosity." Listening to Leo's words. Maggie smiled faintly from a hidden angle.
This speech by Leo was likely to make Master Cameron exasperated.
Indeed, when the drawings Camerons presented were discovered, the Herschire Culturah Park project was directly handed over to the Calebs. The Camerons had suffered financial losses but also lost the project. Leo, on the other hand, made a fortune, gained a project, and earned a good reputation. "It is truly admirable, Mr. Caleb, you have great means. I admire you," Master Cameron forced a smile and made a gesture with his hands.
Leo didn't respond to this. He said coldly, "Perhaps Old Mr. Cameron should settle this account first." Master Cameron looked at Ronald. He held back the pain in his eyes and said, "Transfer the money to Mr. Caleb.
After Ronald made the call to transfer the money to Leo's account, he turned and glanced in the direction of el Sierra. Leo let out a half-smile and said, "Your family has talents like Miss Sierra. You'll surely prosper and make a lot of money in the future." Ronald couldn't hold back any longer, and he said, "Mr. Caleb, there are sprivate matters that I need to attend to. So, I won't see you off." He believed Sierra had completely ruined his reputation.
As soon as Leo left, Ronald's phone started to ring. The family also received a series of calls.
After a while, Ronald said, "Dad, somehow the news has leaked out. Many of our clients are now demanding to cancel their contracts and ask for refunds."
