Chapter 1513 They Do Not Get a Say in the Stock MarketThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The things the manager mentioned were completely foreign to the group of male students from Southdale, but Hawford's locals had all heard the news.
That day, the stock market had seen gold shares rise by nearly 40 dollars per share!
Countless gold stores in malls followed suit and increased their prices.
Across the entire stock exchange, Wynter held control over more than half of the shares. The amount of money she had earned was beyond imagination.
On top of that, the land she had acquired was confirmed to be slated for development and would become one of the largest economic zones in recent years!
In an instant, the club's members, who were there for business, couldn't help but want to approach her and strike up a conversation. The male students, along with Yvette, were unceremoniously pushed to the side.
"Ms. Quinnell! I never expected to run into you here!"
The one speaking was a middle-aged man who had just stepped out of a luxury car. Though he was advanced in years, his well-tailored suit's sharpness made it clear he was wealthy. Yet, even someone like him was eagerly engaging with Wynter, almost with a tone of flattery.
In stark contrast, Yvette, who had been leeching off someone else's membership card, appeared utterly insignificant. As for Terrence, who had been trying to stand up for her, he looked completely out of place.
No one was a fool. At that moment, the male students fully grasped just how narrow- minded and ignorant they had been!
Reflecting on the mocking words they had hurled at Wynter earlier, they all wished they could disappear into the ground in sheer embarrassment.
Wynter, however, seemed completely indifferent to everything happening around her, including the things Yvette had said about her.
But for Yvette, this was a completely different matter. She was itching to expose her secrets now that she was finally seeing Wynter after such a long time.
However, who would believe anything she had to say? In the current state of affairs in Hawford, people either wanted to bring Wynter down or curry favor with her.
She had become nothing short of an icon, especially in financial circles. A true prodigy like her was a rare sight!
After all, it wasn't just luck that she managed to pull the Blaise family from the brink of bankruptcy. She managed to turn them into one of the top ten national retailers while creating a massive impact for domestic brands. Such ability couldn't simply be attributed to good fortune.
Successful business people began to gather, unable to resist asking for advice.
"Ms. Quinnell, how did you predict that gold prices would rise? Could you share your insights?"
Wynter's gaze briefly swept over to Yvette. "Well, I have to thank the Wray family for that. They blindly shorted the stock market, aiming to siphon off Cascadia's money. Without that, I wouldn't have noticed that gold had the potential for a major surge."
"What's the reasoning behind that?" Some people didn't quite understand.
Wynter chuckled lightly, enjoying the subtle power of her words. "It all started with a piece of gossip I read."
Gossip? Yvette's fingers stiffened. She wanted to leave, given how embarrassing her current situation was, but she couldn't bring herself to. She desperately wanted to know why she had lost.
On the surface, everything pointed to gold continuing to drop. In fact, she had heard from her own sources that gold was on a downward trend.
They had both read the same gossip. So, how had Wynter gotten it right? Her fists clenched tighter, and her nails dug into her palms.
Wynter's gaze passed over her once more. "Even gossip needs to be read carefully. That's something my grandfather often reminded me of."
"Oh, so was it Mr. Reuben who taught you?" someone remarked in admiration. "But what kind of gossip could lead to such a major decision?"
Wynter's smile deepened. "It wasn't much, really. The gossip suggested that someone was trying to siphon funds from Cascadia by manipulating the stock market and gold prices. They thought that by making a move, they could throw our market into chaos.
"But they overlooked one critical factor-the buying power of our country's elderly ladies. Whether gold prices go up or down isn't up to them-it's up to the elderly."
