Chapter 1455 Delaying His Investment
No matter how much gold prices skyrocketed, an unusually high surge in a single stock was never a good sign. Experienced investors would know that this was often a signal for an impending crash.
Kenton would allow Wynter to have her triumph today. But by tomorrow, with all three of his stocks soaring, he would crush the Quinnells!
Kenton's confidence was rooted in his arrogance and the support he had. He didn't believe Wynter could truly outshine him. After all, once his funds started rolling, they would be five times those of the Whitman family!
Upon realizing the enormous amount of money Kenton wanted to inject into the stock market, Adrien immediately turned to the Wray Group's finance department.
The accountant, Cassian Tucker, shook his head. "That's not possible. Mr. Wray can continue to invest, but it could lead to a shortage of capital for the Wray Group if he wants to divert funds from here.
"Moreover, if relevant departments find out, they might alert outsiders and significantly impact the company's development."
Adrien was seasoned in the corporate world and, of course, understood this fact very well. He simply didn't want to bear the responsibility to reject Kenton.
He returned to Kenton and told him that the application for additional funds was not approved.
But Kenton sneered. "Do I need to apply for my own company's money? Bring that accountant here!"
Cassian arrived and saw Kenton's uncompromising attitude. With a wave of Kenton's hand, billions were at stake. Cassian knew that if he didn't want to end up in prison, he would have to resign today.
This money was all from the company, including some newly approved loans from the bank. On top of that, Kenton's investments in the land had already caused significant financial gaps,
Cassian had lost count of the number of times Kenton had diverted company funds to the stock market.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He knew he needed to document this situation as evidence to protect himself. It was well- known that capable accountants often ended up taking the fall for their bosses or the company and were sent to prison.
He wouldn't have panicked this much if Kenton had invested the money elsewhere.
Accountants were the most knowledgeable about the company's background. It was incredibly obvious from government departments' past inspections that whoever was
behind the Wray family was an extraordinarily influential figure.
Minor accounting issues were often overlooked, and even if some external funds didn't adhere to proper procedures, inspectors tended to turn a blind eye as long as the ledgers looked generally acceptable. This had never been a significant problem for the Wray Group's development.
However, this time, Cassian was genuinely nervous. When a company's chairman stopped caring about the company's industry and became fixated on making a quick profit from the stock market, it signaled that the company was on the brink of collapse.
Kenton was dismissive and even displeased with Cassian's hesitation. He slapped him before yelling, "Why are you babbling so much over me using money? Are you the chairman, or am I?
"Cassian Tucker, you better get this in your head! Without me, you are nothing but a country bumpkin! Do you know who you got your money from?"
Even Adrien flinched at the slap Kenton gave Cassian. He really wanted to advise Kenton against it, but he didn't dare to speak up.
Anyone working in a company knew that the accountant was the last person you should offend. After all, they held the company's most critical secrets.
Fortunately, Cassian said nothing. He simply took the signed resignation documents and left.
Kenton was very displeased. He felt that Cassian had delayed him from seizing the earliest opportunity to increase his investment.
