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
Maxwell had agreed with Johnny when he recommended that they purchase Greene Technology’s shares. Since he approved of Johnny’s recommendation, he must view the company in a positive light as well. Why did he advise Aunt York not to purchase shares from the company? Had he predicted the company’s share price would fall? Sonnet shook her head. That could not be. If he predicted that the share price would fall, why would he buy the company’s shares?“Yes, he told my mom to buy shares from another company. I think it’s called Dynamic Crystals.” “Dynamic Crystals?” “Yes, I looked it up. It’s a small company that doesn’t appear to be doing exceptionally well. The issue price is extremely low. Each share only costs 70 cents. It’s more suitable for older people like my mother and your father. The share price probably won’t rise much, but it’s good if they can earn some money.” Lindy told Sonnet about it in an extremely casual tone, but her words caught Sonnet’s attention.When s
The tent material was like a one-way window film. They could see everything outside, but the people outside could not look in. Even better was the transparent ceiling of the tent. They could see all the stars in the night sky when they looked up. A large bed and dining table were in the tent. Maxwell led Sonnet over to the dining table. He pointed at a QR code on the table and said, “You can start ordering food, wifey.” Sonnet smiled and scanned the QR code. They both started examining the dishes on the menu. The dishes were extremely exquisite. Of course, they were very expensive as well. Sonnet hesitated when she saw the prices. “It’s so expensive…” “It’s not expensive. We’re rich now!” Maxwell said happily. Sonnet’s eyes shone. “Did you sell the shares?” “Yes!” Sonnet immediately took his phone and opened his trading account. She started counting the number of zeros in his account balance. She acted just like a money-minded person. Her smile slowly wide
“Maxwell is such a nice person. You’ve decided to stay with him for the rest of your life too. So what if you sleep with him?” A voice said in her heart. Another opposing voice argued, “You’d better do that later. You’re not mentally prepared to do this yet.” “You should just do it since you’re not mentally prepared. That way, you can be more sure about your feelings. Maxwell is a great person! He’s much better than a lot of ordinary men! Now is the time. You should be with him right now. You should love him wholeheartedly!” “But the Brooks family might not accept you. If both of you don’t work out eventually…” “Why do you care? You should just be with the person that you love!” The two voices argued with each other. Finally, one of the voices touched Sonnet’s heart. Yes, why should she care? Even if the Brooks family did not accept her, she should do as she wished. That way, she would not have any regrets! With this thought, her heart started racing. Her neck flushe
“Maxwell, this time around…” Sonnet tried to explain to Maxwell. However, he interrupted her halfway. “You can look for me when you miss me.” Warmth gushed into Sonnet’s heart as she held his hand and said softly, “Maxwell, you’re the best!” Both of them got into the car and headed home. On the way back, Lewis glanced at Maxwell in confusion through the rearview mirror. Maxwell was leaving so soon? That was impossible! Lewis finally stopped thinking about all the different possibilities that might have happened when he met Maxwell’s icy gaze through the rearview mirror. He started focusing on the road ahead. When the car arrived at the Brooks household, Sonnet was trying to come up with an excuse to pay a visit to Harrison Estate. Maxwell then said, “Wifey, I fixed a toy for Jaybie a few days ago. I just finished fixing it. Can you help me send it over to him?” Sonnet was shocked. “Aren’t…you going?” “I’m a little tired now. I don’t feel like walking. You’re the b
