“What? We lost 200 million?”Zayden was instantly infuriated. ‘How did we lose 200 million out of the blue?’The Hanks family was rich, and Zayden was hardly poor, but that did not mean money fell from the skies!Such a sudden turn of events had knocked the wind out of Zayden’s chest like a hammer.He did not understand how his smooth sailing plan had suddenly taken such a sharp turn.The person on the other end continued to mutter, prompting Zayden to shout at them. “Alright, enough! Shut up! Why are you so frantic, we’ll be fine!“Let me take a look first and I’ll update you.”Hanging up the phone, Zayden quickly turned on his computer.Although he had mentally prepared himself for what he would see, the sight of skyrocketing K-line followed by the downward plummet of stock prices still stunned him.Zayden’s expression darkened, and it was gloomy to the point that a storm seemed to be brewing between his brows.“Motherf*cker! Someone’s obviously out to get me!” Zayden opene

The stocks retail investors owned acted as reminders. If they end up pissing the dealer off and the dealer decided to hammer the market again, it would be over for everyone. Therefore, all the retailers decided to undersell the stocks they had, leaving some larger organizations to observe the scene. They still had no idea who this investing party that had just come in and entered a fund of over tens of millions of dollars was. As such, organizations decided to be more careful as to not act impulsively. “The other party’s raising the prices as well, Mr. Hanks. That's weird, I thought they’d continue dumping stocks.” The other person’s words from on the other end of the call made Zayden frown. “It looks like they’re targeting me, then.”Zayden clenched his jaw. “They’re accumulating stocks!” “The 80 million will be used up in no time if this keeps going on, Mr. Hanks. We’ve got to come up with a plan.”“Motherf*cker!” Zayden suppressed the urge to bring parents into

Running red lights as he sped to Hanks Residence, Zayden had yet to catch his breath when he was summoned by Sylva, his father and the head of the Hanks family, to the study.“I just received notice this afternoon that there were unusual fluctuations with Heavenly Dragon's stocks. Someone is trying to control the market price. I believe you’ve already fought them?” Sylva stated as he looked at Zayden impassively.As Zayden’s father, no one knew better than Sylva of his son’s actions.Embezzling Schuler Group, for example. Without Sylva’s permission, there was no way Zayden would have the guts or the resources to do so.As well as when Zayden did not hand over the 600 million he had taken from Schuler Group and invested it into Heavenly Dragon instead. It was something Sylva had allowed.Yet evidently, the current turn of events had exceeded the expectations of the father-son duo.Taking a big gulp from the cup a servant had brought in, Zayden then relayed the entire situation to

“You’re not going to hammer the market again?” Wendy asked, astonished.“If even you assume that I’ll hammer the market, then there’s no doubt that Zayden will think so too. He has to save Heavenly Dragon Real Estate, while all I want is to crush him.“Not to mention that I’m not interested in playing in such a small pool with him. Heavenly Dragon Real Estate is hardly any high-quality stock. It’ll only be a matter of time before inflated stock prices would plummet. He has no shot at saving this market.”Dawson agreed with Jasper’s words.Despite not understanding how the stock market worked, doing business was built on the same idea. When a company did not have so much to provide, it did not matter how people hyped it, for the company’s market price would not exceed its performance by too much.After all, investors were not fools.“Alright then. That’s it for today, we’ll deal with it again tomorrow. Come back with us for today, Jasper, you can stay at our home.” Dawson’s words

Dawson making such a suggestion was an evident act of reciprocation so that Jasper would be benefitted as well.The most crucial part of the plan was connections, for it involved the bank, the contractors, and official dealings. These were all things that Jasper could not perform as he was still a rookie in the field.Dawson, however, was different.Perhaps, Dawson was doing more than just returning the favor. Perhaps there was something deeper to it.Jasper glanced at Wendy who sat next to him. She seemed secretly elated about something he had no idea about. Slowly, he found himself understanding what his future father-in-law’s intention was.He was using his own connections to pave a path for Jasper.“Sure. We can talk about this officially another day,” Jasper replied.Dawson nodded in satisfaction. There was no need to explain himself too much when he was talking to someone smart, for they caught on pretty quickly.The car sped away, leaving the heart of the city and enteri

Watching Wendy's fleeing figure, Jasper's eyes were filled with mirth.The most fantastical period between a man and a woman was during this blurred and ambiguous time.Jasper had already regarded Wendy as his own to love, and Wendy showed no intention of rejecting. There was no way this relationship would meet the same fate as in his previous life—over the moment it began.Wendy did not reappear before Jasper until dinner, but even then she still dared not look at him.It was precisely such shyness that was akin to a lotus fluttering in the cold breeze that made Wendy look particularly enchanting.As the two talked and laughed at the dinner table, a servant interrupted them with the arrival of a guest.The message had just been relayed when the door of the villa was pushed open, and a loud couple walked into the living room of the villa."Are you back already, Wendy?" the well-dressed, heavily accessorized woman asked in surprise when she saw Wendy in the dining room.Wendy re

“Da-Dawson… You’re back.”Uneasiness bubbled in Luna and Zach’s hearts at the sight of Dawson.After all, the couple was only so well off today thanks to Dawson.“Why wouldn’t I be back? You came here to look for me, didn’t you?” Dawson spoke angrily.He understood if outsiders wanted to trouble him for their own personal gains now that there was a small issue with the group.Yet to think that it was his own family, Zach and Luna, who would be the first to come knocking on his door for money.There was no way Dawson would not be furious. Their actions had chilled his heart.Luna’s expression shifted between gloomy and bright as she clenched her jaw. “We just want to make a living, Dawson. Can’t you just pay the credit first…”Dawson threw a check at Luna’s face, interrupting her.“Here. 1,130,000! Take it and leave!”Luna picked up the check. With the money in hand, she found no need to suppress the things she wanted to say. She clenched her jaw in infuriation. “This is where

“That’s how fatherly love works, weighted and grand!”Jasper comforted Wendy, saying, “Everything will get better after this.”“It’s the final fight tomorrow… isn’t it?” Wendy stared at Jasper with a burning gaze.Jasper nodded. “Tomorrow determines whether we win or lose, whether life or death awaits us.”“We’ll win, though, won’t we?” Wendy asked seriously.Jasper smiled. “Yeah.”Wendy was greatly relieved by that reply and beamed. “Come on. I’ll bring you to your room.”The following morning after breakfast, Dawson cleared his schedule for the day and sat next to Wendy behind Jasper.“Their transfer of assets got stopped since we managed to find out about it early, so the most crucial thing now is this battle of stocks. If we lose here, then it’s over for Schuler Group. But if we manage to win, then it’s smooth sailing from here onward.”Dawson patted Jasper’s shoulder and reassured him, “No matter what happens, don’t give yourself too much pressure.”Seeing that there wer
