The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1226

Lysander didn’t respond, his attention seemingly glued to the contract in his hands.

Ethan didn’t get an immediate answer, but the rustle of papers through the receiver was a dead giveaway-Lysander was scrutinizing the document.

Undeterred, Ethan continued, “I took your advice and jacked up the prices on those old Crawley Group computers. The market’s dead-nobody’s biting. We’re sitting on a mountain of stock. The Crawley Group’s taken a hit of several million-just like that. Our stocks plummeted in a matter of days, investors bleeding cash left and right.”

But of course, the real kicker was two hundred thousand Bruce’s family had sunk in-they were seeing red, not a dime back in sight!

Lysander was playing a dangerous game, a gambit that threatened to starve not just one fish but the entire pond.

Add the sales from your spanking new smartphone line, and in ten days, you’ll triple what you’ve lost this week. Stocks will bounce back. And that half a billion from Sinclair? Icing on the cake. You’re about to pull a rabbit out of the hat with billions to spare. Why wouldn’t you jump at the chance?”
