Chapter 1437 The Unpredictable Prices

At the commercial building’s top floor, Kenton had specifically instructed Adrien to keep an eye on the time. As soon as the stock market opened, he wanted to be notified immediately in his office.

At 9:30 am sharp, at Hawford’s trading platform, investors were bustling and anxiously waiting for the market to open. One didn’t even need to pay much attention to it since people would shout as soon as it opened.

“It’s open! The market’s open!”

Bethany, who had followed Wynter’s stock tips, hurried to check on the performance of her gold investment.

“It’s up! My stocks are going up!” someone exclaimed.

Bethany hurriedly glanced over at her friend. “What went up? Is the gold rising?”

“Gold? No, it isn’t,” her friend replied.

A cold sweat immediately broke out on Bethany’s forehead. For her, this was a high–stakes gamble. Just last Thursday, she had caught wind of a rumor that gold prices would fall, and she had been tempted to sell off her holdings.

However, seeing Dalton and Wynter pouring cash into gold investments gave her second thoughts. She had convinced herself that perhaps gold wouldn’t drop but might rise instead.

After all, the prices of gold in the malls were climbing. So, why wasn’t gold in the stock market following

suit?

Bethany was starting to get worried. After some consideration, she decided to call Wynter, who she had met a few days ago. “Wynter, the gold stocks haven’t risen yet.”

Wynter said with a hint of laughter, “Ms. Sackett, you just need a little more patience. It’s only the morning. Things will change by the afternoon.

“Besides, I’m sure you’ve noticed how crazy people are for gold at the mall right now. I’m assuming you brought your relatives and friends to buy gold accessories with you, too.”

Bethany felt that her thoughts had been exposed by Wynter and felt a little embarrassed. “I just wanted to help my family make some money. I didn’t expect word about this to get out.”

“You’ve misunderstood me, Ms. Sackett. I’m not blaming you at all,” Wynter reassured her as she sat in the car and glanced at the large outdoor screen nearby. It was the largest advertisement board in Hawford and was currently promoting gold.

“Someone’s been dumping gold at low prices to disrupt the market and mess with the stock prices. They are planning to gain profit from it, but we’ll make sure they gain nothing from this. I trust in your buying powers, Wynter continued.

Bethany didn’t quite grasp what Wynter was saying. She covered her phone and whispered, “Will my stock go up?”

“It will. Just wait until the afternoon,” Wynter replied calmly.

As she spoke, she glanced sideways into the rearview mirror, where Dalton sat. He was well–dressed and had a pristine white laptop resting on his lap.

The screen displayed a neatly organized stock analysis chart. With a soft tap of the enter key, another billion dollars was moved into the stock holdings.

Wynter couldn’t stop him even if she tried.

Dalton was ruthless when it came to earning money. He showed no emotions, as if this was all merely entertainment to him. Not to mention, he still leisurely had a cup of coffee in his right hand.

Wynter couldn’t help but shake her head with a click of her tongue. The Wray family was indeed in a dire situation. They hadn’t even realized that the Yarwood family already had eyes on them.

Dalton looked up, adjusted his golden–rimmed glasses, and asked nonchalantly, “What’s up?”

“Nothing. Feel free to continue,” Wynter said as she typed on her phone. She was reminding Albert to place additional bets.

At times like this, she couldn’t allow Dalton to be the only one making money. She needed to profit from this, too. She felt a strange surge of competitiveness when it came to him.

Meanwhile, Adrien rushed into the conference room holding a phone with a troubled expression. Kenton was in a video call with an overseas company along with several other Chamber of Commerce members. “Mr. Wray, our collaboration has been very pleasant. We’re just waiting for you to successfully acquire it at a low price!” The voice was from a foreigner, speaking broken Cascadian from the other end of the call. Kenton clinked glasses with him through the video.

At that moment, an urgent knock was heard at the door
