The whispers grew louder after Jett backed out. "The Grisham family's oldest son and grandson both pulled out. Clearly, they know this project is a money pit.""It's not very nice to pull funding from his own family like that. But nobody would want to lose money!" "Exactly. We need to keep our eyes and ears open and stay far away from the Carver family. Whatever she's doing, we shouldn't get involved.""Nobody can afford to get involved! I'm scared she'll come looking for me for investment."It was only at one's lowest point that true loyalty became apparent. Some indecisive people or those with ulterior motives were now avoiding Aria; they did not even bother to hide it. Even though Aria hadn't even acknowledged them, just seeing her at the Chamber made a group of people scatter quickly as if they had seen something dirty, pretending to be busy. It was times like these when people showed their true colors. Some businesses with average profits had just eased their cash flow

Magdalene pulled Jett's hand away. "What's going on with you? If your dad doesn't agree, how can we decide anything for the Fitzroy family? I know you're kindhearted, but business is complicated. "Pulling out your investment is just a wake-up call for Aria. Someone like her should be studying at home instead of playing with stocks and land deals. It's like a bottomless pit that no family fortune could ever fill. "Jett, listen to me. Don't mess around with Aria. Are you really going to do something rash that'll make me and your parents worry?" Emotional manipulation was just another Tuesday in his family. When Magdalene spoke those words, Jett stopped arguing. He looked at his mother Laura, who was also trying to persuade him. After all these years, he felt like he was seeing his family for the first time. They always told him to prioritize the family, to remember family ties, and not be like his grandfather, Mike Fitzroy. He was too stubborn and would never compromise to plea

"They want me to pull out my investment, don't they? Not a chance!" Jett said as he slumped on the leather couch, already half-drunk. He tilted sideways, mumbling like he was lost in a memory. "I have a little sister now, and her name is Aria. She wears this cute tiger-themed hat. But Leon wouldn't let me near her, always saying she's his sister and not mine." Aria stood nearby. Her hand froze when she tried to wake him, so she took his card instead. A slight smile crossed her lips as she whispered a promise. "I'll invest for you. After Monday, no one will think of you as just another useless member of the Fitzroy family. "You're Jett Grisham, the eldest grandson of the Grisham family." His steady snoring was the only response. And outside the window, the night sparkled with scattered lights. …Monday arrived in the blink of an eye. The trading floor buzzed with excitement as everyone waited for the market to open. Orion woke up in high spirits. Their plan for the gold mar

At the top of the corporate tower, Orion had Arlo keep watch of the time. He wanted Arlo to drop by his office and update them the moment the market started. At half past nine in the morning, the trading floor in Ludwiten buzzed with investors waiting for the market to start. Someone yelled, "We're live! The market's open!" Cassy, who had jumped in on Aria's stock tip, bolted to check on gold. Her friend said, "It's moving! My stocks are doing something!" Cassy looked over at her friend. "What's up? Is the gold taking off?" "Gold? Not even close," the friend replied. Cassy went pale; this was a serious bet. Back on Thursday, she had heard rumors about gold tanking. She had been ready to bail, but seeing people flash cash made her think gold might actually spike. Gold prices were climbing everywhere else. So why was the stock market playing dead here? Worried sick, she contemplated for a bit before calling Aria. "Aria, these gold stocks are just sitting there." Aria's tone

"The government meeting will wrap up this morning, and then they'll announce the land requisition," Lily spoke quickly, worried that Orion would find her no longer useful. Orion was a profit-driven businessman. Hearing this, he instantly changed his tone. "I was too hasty earlier. Don't take it personally, Ms. Kent. "Christina, make some extra soup for her. Maybe a good mood will help her remember more details." Lily was sharp. Knowing her predictions held weight, she seized the moment and said, "I've had too much soup. I want to go out, walk around, and clear my head." After some investigation, Orion found out that Lily was vain to her core, loving to shop and show off. Coming from her background, she needed photos to brag on her social media feed. He wasn't opposed to it. For long-term cooperation, Lily was his golden ticket in business. "Go ahead. Whatever you want, put it on the Draycott Group's check." Her face lit up. She had made good money playing stocks, but who wo
