Chapter 1435 My Cousin

“They told me to withdraw my investment, but I refuse!” Cyrus slumped on the couch. He was already a little tipsy as he leaned back, as if reminiscing about the past.

“I have a cousin now. Her name is Wynter, and she wears a tiger–head hat. It’s all Tobias‘ fault. He wouldn’t let me touch her, saying she’s from his family, he mumbled.

Wynter stood at the side as she listened to him. The hand that was reaching out to wake him paused. before she took his card instead.

She smiled slightly and said in a soft voice, almost like a promise, “Then I’ll invest on your behalf.

“After Monday, no one will see you as a useless pawn from the Montclair family. You are Cyrus Whitman, the Whitman family’s eldest grandson.”

The only response Wynter got from him was his snores as he drifted off to sleep.

The night was vibrant with countless lights outside the window.

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye. The trading platform was bustling with activity as everyone waited eagerly for the market to open.

Kenton was feeling particularly upbeat as he had anticipated a significant drop in the gold market. He was confident that his plans were solid. He didn’t even go to the office and instead enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at home.

After all, he and the foreign companies had already spread news a week prior about a major decline in the gold market. According to their plans, the gold market was set to plummet with everyone echoing this prediction.

His scheme had two objectives. The first was to set a trap for Albert, and the second was to profit from Cascadian funds. The ultimate goal was to exploit the gold market and reap gains from retail investors, Kenton had nothing to worry about now given that the results were looking promising. All he had to do was wait for good news!

In addition, the land development requisition policy was set to be announced in the afternoon. He planned to attend the meeting personally. After all, it was a benefit given by the higher–ups.

Kenton’s smile widened the more he thought about it.

Seeing this, the company staff whispered among themselves.

“Mr. Wray looks happy today.”

“Who wouldn’t be? We’ve secured a prime piece of land”

“Really?”

“Absolutely. Just wait for the bonuses that we’re going to get.”

After all, everyone’s livelihood depended on Kenton. They would benefit if the company thrived.

But whether the bonus would be distributed to everyone was another matter. The company’s environment wasn’t great, especially for women.

Soon, the Chamber of Commerce’s members arrived at the company.

“Stella, you haven’t been around lately. But you’re looking more beautiful every time I see you!” One of the

Chamber of Commerce members looked at Stella Ellsworth. The way he looked at her was as if he had just discovered a rare plaything.

Upon hearing her name, Stella turned slightly and glanced at him.

“Mr. Lark, please don’t tease me. How could someone like me catch your eyes?” She then returned to her work right after speaking. She couldn’t hide the hint of disgust appearing in her eyes.

“Let’s go.

Emmett. We’re going to Mr. Wray’s office to have a chat,” another member spoke up.

Footsteps were heard approaching the office door. The Chamber of Commerce members knocked before entering and greeting Kenton.

Today was the day of the market opening. Hence, Kenton wasn’t the only one watching closely. Many of the Chamber members had also invested and were eager to make a big profit alongside him.

Kenton sat in his executive chair as he pulled out two boxes of cigars and a pair of cutters from his drawer.

“Take one each. Don’t faint from excitement later. If you do, don’t tell anyone you’re working with me!” Kenton’s joke only reinforced the Chamber members confidence that the stocks they had bought would rise. They also anticipated a severe drop in the gold prices that Albert had invested in.

“After today, the Quinnells‘ grandson will never recover!”

Someone expressed with intensity, “Mr. Wray is indeed impressive. The Quinnells are nothing but annoying pests!”

“Alright, let’s leave this behind once and for all once we’re done with it. Think about the plans for the Bureau of Land Management later this afternoon…”
