Chapter 1438 Yvette Is Confident
Adrien pushed open the door with a grim expression. Kenton furrowed his brows and instinctively hung up the phone before looking at him. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Adrien glanced around at the familiar faces before letting down his guard. “Mr. Wray, there’s a problem. The price of gold… it hasn’t dropped.”
“It hasn’t dropped? How is that possible?” One of the Chamber of Commerce members couldn’t help but speak before Kenton.
Adrien wiped his sweat. “It really hasn’t dropped.”
The men in the room stared at him like they were ready to pounce. “But Ms. Yates said the gold market would hit rock bottom for some time!
“Not to mention, we’ve partnered with overseas capital to manipulate the market. How could the price of gold not drop?”
“Calm down, Emmett.” Kenton was caught off guard himself.
His appetite for champagne disappeared almost in an instant, but he still had to get more information.” Are you saying that it hasn’t risen or fallen? What about the other three stocks?”
Adrien opened his mouth and spoke in a hushed tone. They hadn’t changed either and are still at Friday’s closing price.”
“Well, that’s not unusual,” one of them, who was always eager to flatter Kenton, chimed in. “Mr. Wray, it’s not like Ms. Yates gave us an exact date for the drop. She just said it would happen this week.
“The market only opens on Monday morning. We should wait until the evening to see the change.”
“Yes, that’s true. You have a point. I wonder why I haven’t thought about this,” another one chimed in.
The group of people burst into laughter again. “Looks like I’m getting forgetful. I forgot about details like this. Ms. Yates‘ predictions are never wrong. And with Mr. Wray leading us, there’s no way anything could go wrong!”
“I understand that you guys are anxious, Kenton said magnanimously. “No worries. I’ll have my secretary keep an eye on things. For now, let’s head over to that plot of land I acquired and wait for the policy to
rain down on us.”
“Let’s go! We’re in for a windfall.”
As always, there were those eager to agree with everything Kenton said. However, some couldn’t help but express their regret, “What a shame. I was really looking forward to seeing that piece of shit lose everything.
“You guys have no idea how arrogant Albert is in person. I’m older than him, but he had the guts to ignore me when I invited him for dinner.”
“Tch. Those two youngsters are worse than their father, Let’s just listen to Mr. Wray and wait till this evening.”
Kenton listened to the murmurs around him and narrowed his eyes slightly. The first thing he did once he got into the car was call Yvette. There was no need for pretense inside the car since it was just him and the driver.
“Ms. Yates, do I need to beg you? It took you long enough to pick up the phone. It’s almost like you’re done trying to make a living in Hawford,” Kenton chided.
Confident
At this point, Yvette was entirely dependent on Kenton. Her reputation as a fortune teller was backed by the Wray family.
Without their support, her past actions would come to light and cause her credibility to crumble. Kenton had all the dirt on her, so she didn’t dare to challenge him.
Yvette quickly responded, “Mr. Wray, I was focused on watching the stock market and didn’t notice the phone ringing. Ms. Thesara can vouch for me.”
Thesara Krim was sent by Kenton to take care of Yvette. However, she was more of a watchdog than a caretaker.
“Mr. Wray, Ms. Yates was indeed tracking the stock market before your call,” Thesara replied.
Hearing this, Kenton’s voice turned colder. “So, what do you remember now that you’ve seen it? Is what you told me earlier going to hold true?
He had to double confirm as he couldn’t afford any mistakes now. After all, he was so close to locking the Quinnell family like birds in a cage.
“It’s absolutely accurate!” Yvette exclaimed as she scrolled through the newsfeed which was aligned with her memories. “Just as I predicted, the market didn’t budge this morning, but the winds will change by this afternoon. It’ll be too late by the time others try to get in.”
