“Mr. And Mrs. Brooks, why don’t I personally help you set up a trading account? Come here. Let’s head to the VIP lounge at the back!” The manager said with a smile plastered across his face. The manager’s attitude towards them had changed completely. Everyone stared at Sonnet and Maxwell in shock. Sonnet was stunned as well. She did not understand why the manager was treating them so courteously all of a sudden. He spoke to them in an extremely formal tone previously. However, he was now smiling at them in a warm and friendly manner. She was still lost in thought when Maxwell held her hand. “There must be large sofas in the VIP room!” Maxwell told her as he led her to the back of the company. There was a large sofa in the VIP room. It was soft and comfortable. The manager sat down in front of the computer and apologized before they got down to business. “I’m sorry, our investment consultant just started his role not long ago. He was being rather insensitive. I hope bo
“It's free of charge! Mrs. Wilson told me that we must make full use of everything that’s free of charge!”“We could’ve chosen anyone. Why did you choose him?”Sonnet felt angry when she thought about Johnny.“He bullied us just now. Let’s bully him back right now. Hmph!” Maxwell huffed angrily. Sonnet agreed with him. She could not help but smile.Did Johnny not look down on her just now? In that case, she would insist on him serving them as an investment consultant. He would have to serve them and listen to her. He would definitely be beyond furious! How dare he look down on them for being poor? In that case, they should let him control their money. Naturally, he would not be willing to offer them investment suggestions. However, he had no choice but to do so. Besides, he could not make a loss! If he made a loss, his reputation as the company’s star investment consultant would be ruined! He did not like them, but he would not be able to do anything against them. Not only th
Johnny did not budge. Sonnet waved her hand and remarked, “Oh, it seems like you have quite a temper! Aren’t you in the hospitality industry? Don’t you know how to smile at your clients? I wonder how you became a star investment consultant!”“I did it on my own abilities!” Johnny said angrily as he raised his head and glared at her. “Your abilities? Sure! In that case, please show me your abilities. Don’t make a loss with our money! You know that I still need to pay my dad’s medical fees!” Sonnet said in a sarcastic tone. Johnny’s face flushed red. He did not utter a single word. Sonnet looked at the manager and said, “Sir, it turns out that’s how your star investment consultant treats his clients. It seems like you don’t value small clients like us at all!” The manager spoke to them courteously, “What do you mean by that, Miss Turner? You’re not a small client at all! You’re an esteemed client in our company!” He tugged Johnny over forcefully while speaking and gestured f
Maxwell was just about to say something when Johnny spoke, “Why are you asking him such things? Can he give you any professional suggestions?” His words were directed at Sonnet. There was an arrogant expression on his face as he said, “Would you require a fool to approve a star investment consultant’s recommendations?” Maxwell’s expression darkened at once. He felt a small hand gripping his hand tightly. He turned around to look at Sonnet. There was a small smile on her face. She replied to Johnny, “Of course, my husband’s approval will be needed. This money belongs to him.”“If he makes a wrong decision, will you let him as well?” Johnny asked in an irritated tone.“Of course, I’ll support all of my husband’s decisions. It’s alright even if he makes a loss. It’s just 2 million and 8 hundred thousand dollars. He has plenty of money. He can do whatever he wants with his money!” Sonnet said. Maxwell was pretty unhappy with Johnny just now but he instantly felt better now.
Initially, Sonnet knew nothing about the share market. However, after buying shares, she started monitoring the share prices as well.She hoped that Maxwell could earn some money with the 2 million and 8 hundred thousand dollars that he had invested. After buying shares in the morning, the share price for Greene Technology had risen to the limit by evening. However, the next morning, the share price fell to the limit as soon as the market opened! Sonnet’s heart lurched in pain as she looked at the loss that Maxwell had incurred on his trading account. She called Johnny. “Johnny Cole, what is the meaning of this? Did you ask us to invest in the shares of such a poor-performing company on purpose?!” Johnny’s voice sounded rather panicked on the other end of the call. “How is that possible? I bought shares in this company as well! I made a loss too! Besides, if you make a huge loss, my reputation as the company’s star investment consultant will be affected!”Sonnet thought that
Was the manager treating her like an esteemed client or was he just trying to prevent her from doing something? Sonnet followed him to the VIP room. The manager prepared tea and water for her. “We know that you’ve made a huge loss because of Johnny’s recommendation. We’re truly sorry! Johnny has always had an accurate eye when it comes to investments. I don’t know what happened this time around…” Sonnet did not say anything. The manager added, “Why don’t we do this? I’ll allocate you to another investment consultant. We guarantee that you’ll be able to earn money this time around.” Sonnet said, “You don’t need to allocate anyone else. We’ll just terminate our contract with Johnny.” If she knew that this would happen, she would have asked Maxwell to analyze the market and buy shares himself instead. His judgment might be clearer than that of Johnny’s.The manager did not dare to say anything else. He chatted with her courteously and walked her out when she wanted to leave.
After leaving the financial security company, Sonnet calmed herself down. The hurtful memories that she had recalled just now made her rather emotional. Thinking back on everything, she felt that she should not waste her time getting angry over someone like Johnny. They had never thought of each other as family. To her, Johnny was just like a stranger. Why should she pay attention to a stranger? She would be wasting her time if she got emotional over a stranger like him! Thinking that way, Sonnet felt much better. Once she was in a better mood, she started feeling bad about Maxwell’s money again. She felt extremely upset. She could not help but call Maxwell. She had bought a phone for Maxwell so that he could buy shares. “Maxwell, we made a loss…” Maxwell could tell how upset Sonnet was over the phone. There was a small smile on his lips when he said, “It’s alright, darling. We can earn everything back after making a loss.” “We lost a million dollars!” “It’s a
It was impossible to have a normal conversation with a man that had lost all sense of reasoning over love. Maxwell got up and said, “I need to get back to the children.” Hayden was about to tell Maxwell that he acted like they were his children. But he thought about it and dared not say it. Maxwell walked to the entrance and stopped. He turned to look at Hayden. “You should buy shares from Dynamic Crystals tomorrow morning. Buy as many as you can.” “Dynamic Crystals? Isn’t that company showing extremely poor performance?” Hayden asked curiously. “I’m the one that gets to decide how well it performs. I get to decide which shares will increase in price,” Maxwell said in a domineering tone before leaving. Hayden was momentarily stunned. He then returned to his senses and called his assistant. “Prepare some funds. We’ll be purchasing the shares of Dynamic Crystals as soon as the market opens tomorrow.” He was extremely confident in Maxwell when it came to such matters. Ma
