All Chapters of Rise of the Financial Titan: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"Just because he's Cole, I'm supposed to sacrifice my own opportunity?"For all these years, I treated her as the most important person in my life. Yet in her heart, I was not even worth as much as Cole's backup.Patricia suddenly switched to a coaxing tone."You're so much younger than Cole. What's wrong with giving a senior colleague a little respect?"You've got plenty of opportunities ahead of you. Don't be so petty."Watching her act like that made my stomach turn.Normally, she was the iron-willed investment banker who commanded respect wherever she went. Yet for Cole, she could lower herself to this.However, this time was different.Having lived through it once already, I had long since seen through her true nature. I would never again be fooled by that mask."Alvin, you're being childish. This opportunity should go to Cole!"While I was still deep in thought, Serena already strode into the conference room with Cole in tow.When our eyes met, the contempt in his gaze

The recording stopped.Father's face turned ashen as he looked at Serena."What, what is going on here?"Clearly, Serena never expected me to have something like that in reserve. She froze for a second, panic flashing across her face.She pointed at me, her voice trembling."You, you secretly recorded us? Do you have any conscience at all?"I looked at her with open contempt."What's the point of arguing? Every word in that recording is clear."Serena's expression darkened. She obviously did not expect me to catch her red-handed.For the first time, Father's gaze was no longer blind with trust. Instead, it was filled with deep disappointment."So this is how you behave as an older sister? For the sake of an outsider, you'd even push your own brother into the fire?"Serena lowered her head, unable to meet Father's eyes.After a long pause, she finally muttered, "I know I was wrong. It won't happen again."However, there was not a shred of remorse in her eyes. She could not

"Is the patient's family here? The patient is in critical condition. Please come in and say your final goodbyes."The doctor stepped out of the ICU to inform us.My father rushed inside immediately.I, however, felt strangely calm.Any feelings I had for Serena were already drained away the moment I was driven to my death in my previous life.Whether she lived or died had nothing to do with me anymore.This was the path she chose.I walked slowly into the ward.Serena's face was deathly pale. With the last of her strength, she asked in a weak voice,"H-How is Cole now?"My father exploded with rage when he heard that."He ruined you, and you're still worrying about him?"Serena shook her head, her emotions suddenly agitated."It's not his fault. It's all that lunatic Patricia. Even if I become a ghost, I won't let her go."Before she could finish the sentence, the heart monitor beside her let out a long, flat tone.The line on the screen turned straight.A flicker of di

She stayed up night after night, helping me analyze the fundamentals of different investment targets. In the end, we built our positions against the market trend, buying large amounts of undervalued blue-chip stocks.Half a year later, when the market began to recover, our portfolio's return ranked among the top in the industry.That success earned me the trust of the board, and I was promoted directly to Investment Director."Do you remember what we talked about the first time we met?" Anne asked with a smile. "About the essence of finance."I nodded. "To direct capital toward where it creates the most value.""You did exactly that," she said. "Our investments didn't just generate profits–they helped those good companies survive their toughest period."She was right. The companies we invested in were now thriving, creating thousands of jobs and contributing to society.It reminded me of my previous life.Back then, I was blinded by Serena and Patricia, dragged into countless u
