While Jasper had taken all of Zayden’s funds, without Jasper watching over the market, Heavenly Dragon Real Estate’s stocks crashed.
It was a downward plummet.
Forget about the retail investors, but even organizations were stunned.
No one knew what Heavenly Dragon Real Estate had done to offend such an investor that they crashed its market.
“How much did you earn?” Wendy leaned over. Some unruly flyaways caressed the tip of Jasper’s nose, and they brought along the delicate fragrance of a lady.
Wendy did not think that far, for she was only interested in looking at Jasper’s backstage.
“Deducting the administrative costs, it’s a total of… 4,578,888,542.85 dollars.
“I started with three billion in funds and ended up with around 4,570,000,000 in my account. It’s safe to say that I’ve wrung Zayden dry.”
Jasper sent 600 million to Dawson’s account before transferring the rest of the money back into his own.
Counting his earnings this round, he had earned almost 900 million after excluding the 600 million that belonged to Dawson.
“Good Lord!”
While this was not the first time she watched Jasper make money, Wendy still could not believe that he had managed to earn 900 million so easily over two days.
“While earning at such a speed may seem alluring, there’s not too many chances to do something like this. There are too many factors required—time, people, and opportunity.” Jasper smiled.
“But it’s still very cool!”
Wendy blinked and turned to boast to Dawson. “Look, Dad! Jasp got all the money they scammed from you back!”
Dawson did not know if he should laugh or cry. “Yes, yes, I can see it. Your boyfriend’s the best.”
Stunned, Wendy’s cheeks flushed as she refuted, “What are you talking about? We’re just friends.”
Dawson laughed out loud and decided to stop teasing his embarrassed daughter. He turned to Jasper instead. “You’ve got a great future ahead of you. With how you’re able to make money like this, I’m sure you won’t even need to start a business at all. You’ll make a great living through stocks.”
Jasper shook his head. “No matter how prosperous the stock market may be, it still relies on the operation of the actual economy. Sure, you may be able to turn into a nouveau riche overnight, but many will go bankrupt in return. Risks and benefits do not exist without the other and no one is said to win forever.”
“You’re right.”
Dawson grew more and more satisfied with Jasper when he saw how the young man remained humble and diligent despite his success. It was not a trait or a mindset any ordinary person would have.
“Since you’ve already dealt with this, leave it to me to wrap up the rest of it, then. The Hanks family has lost a large amount of money today. There’s no way I’ll let go of the chance to take advantage of this victory and get my revenge.”
Dawson spoke in a dignified manner. As the richest man in the province, Dawson was never the kind of man who would forget and move on when he had been taken advantage of.
Now that the most important issue about the group’s funds had been resolved, it was time for him to take revenge.
At that moment, Zayden was sitting alone in the room with a pale face. He had shooed the three stock traders out.
Boneless and weak, Zayden went over the happenings over the past two days and confirmed that this was indeed a trap his opponent had set up for him.
Foolish as he was, he ran headfirst into it.
Burning with humiliation, Zayden grabbed the keyboard by his hand and threw it at the computer before he let out a ferocious roar.
Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing that it was from his father Sylva, Zayden’s hand trembled as he picked up the phone.
“I lost, Dad…”
Zayden’s voice was shaking as well.
The other end of the phone fell silent before the man piped up in a cold tone, “The family’s furious and someone has to take responsibility for what happened here. I’ll try my best to keep your position as a family member so that you won’t be thrown out.”
“I understand,” Zayden replied, his head dropping.
“Do you know who the other person is?” Sylva asked.
Zayden smiled bitterly. “I don’t.”
“That person took more than a billion dollars from you as well as your right as the heir and you’re telling me that you don’t even know who it is?” Sylva roared.
