She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

Chapter 99: Profits!

Cell phones had an app that could check a stock’s fluctuations, and it showed clearly that the stock Nora mentioned had risen by 2% the day before!

In other words, the $300,000 they invested had seen a return of $6,000 in just a day!

Given how it had risen despite the plummeting stock market, this was undoubtedly very impressive.

Farrell was a mature and steady middle-aged man who bore a 50% resemblance to Melissa. Unlike Miranda’s mean and acrimonious appearance, he had an air unique to scholarly merchants around him.

His brows were tightly drawn together, but he nevertheless looked up and said, “Your profit yesterday can only be attributed to luck. The stock market is very unstable now, so it’s not surprising that the stock rose for a day. This particular stock has been falling lately. You’d best still take the opportunity to sell it today!”

Then, he looked at Melissa sternly and lectured, “The Woods’ family teachings forbid us from gambling and taking drugs. Melissa, I know you’re short of money. That’s why I told Miranda to look for you and let you make some money with us. Why must you let things come to this point?”

Melissa looked at him, her expression somewhat dazed.

It seemed like she hadn’t seen her elder brother for a very long time.

The siblings had been on very good terms in the past. She could still remember how her elder brother had specially screened Simon’s character for her when she fell in love with him back then.

When did they become this distant from each other?

It seemed like it was ever since he married Miranda?

Farrell and Miranda’s marriage could be considered a political marriage between the Woods and the Sonnets. Farrell had a literati’s pride, and he trusted Miranda enough to leave her in charge of all the family affairs after they were married.

Miranda was a petty woman. She would get jealous and say a lot of mean things whenever Farrell was even a little nice to Melissa. She didn’t want to cause disharmony in her brother’s family, so she rarely returned to the Woods’ residence in recent years after their parents passed away.

At the sight of Melissa keeping quiet, Farrell sighed, took out a bank card, and handed it to her. He said, “I know Miranda has a foul mouth, but do you really think I’ll leave you to your own devices when you’re broke, Melissa? There’s $800,000 in here. Use it to tide over for now… Don’t worry, this is my own money. Your sister-in-law doesn’t know about it.”
