Chapter 1485 Tamia's Regrets
Tamia felt a wave of dizziness and had to grab onto something nearby to keep herself from collapsing.
The Wray family was being investigated. This would have been unthinkable in the past.
Would "that man" really allow someone to investigate the Wrays? That was impossible unless the Wray family had already been abandoned, deemed as a lost cause. Only then would "that man" allow them to fall!
The more Tamia thought about it, the more horrified she became. She had just decided to be associated with the Wray family, yet now, Wray Group was being investigated! This meant that the Wray family had been in trouble since last week!NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
"The stock market... How could he possibly lose money? Isn't Ms. Yates involved?" Tamia exclaimed in disbelief.
Her fingernails dug deep into her palm. If the Wray family's finances were in trouble, then the money she had invested in them would be lost as well.
It wasn't just the loss that was overwhelming. The Wray family had reassured her that the trap in the stock market had been set for the Quinnel family. So, why was Wynter still perfectly fine while the Wray family was collapsing?
Unable to comprehend the situation, Tamia anxiously asked the messenger, "If the stock market is in such turmoil, what about the Quinnells? What about the siblings from that family?"
As long as the Quinnel family had suffered too, it wouldn't matter so much. Even if she lost billions, at least they'd all be in the same boat.
After all, the Wray family had told her that Wynter and Albert had invested three or four billion. If the market crashed, they'd be in just as much trouble!
Tamia clung to this hope, but the messenger's next words froze her in place.
"I just checked. The Quinnel family bought gold, and the price of gold these past days..." He handed Tamia a tablet. "You can see for yourself, Mrs. Montclair Senior."
The tablet displayed a stock market chart. The price of gold had risen sharply again and again.
Albert had entered the market when gold was at its lowest point. Now, it had surged so much that the increasing trend on the chart seemed to taunt Tamia, urging her to smash the tablet into pieces!
"Why has it gone up so much? Weren't they saying that the Quinnell family's stocks would drop?" Tamia's hands trembled. "40! Each stock has gone up by 40 dollars in just a few days! What are you people doing? Why didn't anyone keep an eye on her?"
Tamia screamed from the top of her lungs, the cane struggling to support her. The emotional turmoil was too much for an old lady like her to handle.
Tamia had just made enemies with Wynter! She had made bold declarations in Quaint Villa, signaling that the Montclairs had officially become sworn enemies with the Whitmans and the Quinnells!
She would have never torn apart her relationship with them if she had known this was the outcome! Had she been aware of the true circumstances, how could she have possibly destroyed her ties with the Whitmans?
Not only would she have avoided a fallout, but she would also make sure they were still in- laws! And now, she was being told that the Wray family was ruined and Wynter had come
out victorious.
Tamia could not keep her composure at all and grabbed the messenger by his collar. "Is this what the Montclairs have raised? A bunch of useless fools!"
The man stammered out an explanation, "Mrs. Montclair Senior, if we're assigning blame, you only instructed us to watch Mr. Cyrus and how he worked with Ms. Quinnell to acquire land.
"All our focus was on setting her up, trying to make her fall into the trap we prepared. Neither you nor Mr. Wray ever mentioned that Ms. Quinnell knew how to play the stock market."
Tamia was not keeping secrets as she didn't even know herself! "Does she really know how to play the stock market? You've looked into her background and said she graduated from a mere trade school! How could she know anything about stocks?"
Even now, Tamia looked down on Wynter from the depths of her being.
The man raised his head slightly. "Mrs. Montclair Senior, I've been loyal to you for many years, and this will be the last task I do for you. So, as a word of advice, let me say this.
"If Ms. Quinnell truly knew nothing, Wray Group's funds wouldn't have collapsed like they did. There's foreign capital involved in this stock market issue, and yet the Wray family still lost. Don't you ever wonder why?"
