Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 69

Chapter 69

Emily's car had just left the parking lot when suddenly, a bucket of yellow liquid fell from above, splattering all

over her windshield. Startled, she slammed on the brakes. A foul stench wafted toward her.

This time, Emily's actions were too disgraceful and had angered many people. She felt fear for the first time,

quickly locking the doors and trembling as she drove the car, covered in disgusting filth, to a car wash. As a

result, this incident made it to the news.

By the afternoon, Emily received a call from Sophia. "Emily, | was busy in the morning and didn't hear your call. |

know what happened. I've already sent someone to handle it. You should take stoff, and once the online

uproar dies down, I'll help you find other opportunities."

Sophia's tone was gentle and calm, but Emily wasn't having any of it. "You wantto wait? Do you have any

idea what 1 went through this morning? | was doused with excrement! It's all your fault for gettingthis role.

Just stay out of my business!"

"Watch your words! Sophia has been busy with your matters all this time. How can you blher?" Owen's deep

voice cthrough the phone.

"It's fine. Owen. Don't blEmily. She's still young. It's my failure as a mother." Sophia's voice carried a hint of

tears.

Emily found it quite ironic as she listened.

You need to apologize online. During this time, | will spend money to polish your image, and once the fuss

passes, you can reappear before the public with a fresh persona," Sophia continued. Reluctantly, Emily agreed,

thinking. It looks like there's no other choice now."

On Monday, the wig and makeup wax Ophelia ordered online arrived. She knew that good makeup could work

wonders, so she learned a few techniques from the makeup artist on set yesterday. However, she was not aiming

for a glamorous look but rather for an ordinary one, the kind that would make her blend in with the crowd.

Arriving at the stock market, Ophelia looked like a completely different person. She wore black-framed glasses,

had ear-length short hair, and was dressed in plain clothing. Since she walked in, no one had noticed her.

Ophelia pushed up her black glasses, staring intently at a stock on the large screen, thinking, This is it, Glorious

Union, a medical device company.

This stock had made the news more than once in her previous life. She frequently heard Owen mention it, and to

have more topics with him, she had specifically kept an eye on it, so she was very familiar with its development

trends from beginning to end.

The reason it had made the news was that its price fluctuations were like a roller coaster, rising and falling

tically. Since it was listed, this stock had been declining, currently priced at 3.5 dollars, meaning that

almost everyone who had bought it at the beginning had lost money. Consequently, investors neglected the

stock.

Using Lisa's ID card, Ophelia opened an account and bought up all the outstanding shares of this stock. Her

actions did not immediately attract attention. It was not until the next afternoon, when the stock suddenly rose

to 5.3 dollars, that many people's interest was piqued.

"Wow, who bought so many shares of Glorious Union all at once? someone

exclaimed.

Suddenly, the trading volof Glorious Union reached the top spot, with an astonishing turnover rate.

"That person must have inside information. We should hold onto the stocks we have," a man suggested.

"Forget it. I've held this stock for over half a year, and it has been declining. Now that it has finally risen, | need

to sell quickly. Who knows if this is just a temporary spike?" another replied.

As these people sold their stocks, Ophelia bought them. On the second and third days, the stock continued to

rise, having reached seven dollars, and those who had sold earlier regretted their decision immensely.

People who were watching began to buy shares of Glorious Unich. Whenever someone bought, Ophelia sold.

By the tFriday's market closed, the stock plummeted, dropping from seven dollars to three dollars.

On the following Monday, the stock continued its downward trend, with speople choosing to sell while

others waited. Once it fell to 2.3 dollars, those who had bought in just to follow the trend finally could not hold on

any longer and started selling. Meanwhile, Ophelia was frantically buying more shares to lower her average cost.

Glorious Union made it to the financial news for the first time, and Ophelia earned a significant profit from this

single stock.

The television in the office of Hastings Group played the latest financial report as Harry stood in front of Owen's

desk.

"Tasked

you to contact the company behind Ophelia. How's it going?" Owen turned off the TV, tossing the remote onto

the desk as he leaned back in his chair.

"Dad, | think there's a way to resolve this without contacting her Harry replied.

After more than a week, Owen was no longer as angry as at the start. He exhaled, but his brow remained

furrowed. "Fine, then tellhow you plan to resolve it."

Harry took out a planning document. "Although the price of this land exceeded our expectations, if we develop a

plan and start construction to realize its value as fast as we can, we might lose sprofit but will still make

money."

Owen flipped through the materials, feeling somewhat pleased. He thought, 'At least he is trying. This plan is

quite detailed! It must have taken several late nights to put together. He glanced up at Harry and noticed dark

circles under his eyes, which eased Owen's previous anger. He thought, 'Let that lost profit be Harry's tuition fee

‘However, the funds originally allocated for developing this land have been used to cover the land purchase gap,

so | will need to take out a loan for part of it. But in less than two months | will receive the remaining 30 million

dollars from Rosewood Manor, so | won't suffer too much loss.

Harry had his own plans in mind. He secretly resolved to handle this matter well and not disappoint Owen again.

Upon returning to his office, Harry opened his computer, and the first financial news article he saw was about

Glorious Union's stock. Initially, he didn't pay much attention to it, but he suddenly recalled that when bidding in

front of the hotel, Ophelia had mentioned earning smoney through stock trading

Harry thought, "That's how she got the seven million dollars to invest in Christopher's company? If she can earn

money even with her clumsiness, why don't | give it a try? Once | earn back the lost 30 million dollars, my father

will surely look atdifferently

Harry hired a stock analyst and invested in several stocks, but after a week, there was no change in his fortunes.

Meanwhile, Ophelia continued to manage her investment in Glorious Union, averaging purchases at just over two

dollars.

She thought. If | remember correctly, this stock has three opportunities left for this type of increase. That means

| still have three chances to make money and put the bait.

The stock market worked like this. Sindividuals could seize the moment and profit handsomely, while others

ended up. losing everything.
