Chapter 383 Trading Secrets,Coolest Girl in Town

 

The spy followed Jeanie all the way to the DNA test facility and waited until Jeanie left before paying a small bribe to get insider information from the laboratory employees. As it turned out, Jeanie had wanted to confirm the biological relation between herself and someone of the name of Elise Sinclair, hence the trip to the facility. When Faye heard this, she was so agitated that she shoved everything off her desk and let them clatter to the ground. On the other end of the phone, the spy dared not breathe or interrupt when he heard the sound of breaking glass and tumbling objects that followed Faye’s fit of rage. 

 

After what felt like a long pause, Faye finally replied in a sinister manner on the other line, “Go and get me those results; I want them as soon as they’re out, no matter the cost.” … The next day, in light of the steady regression that Griffith Group experienced on the stock exchange, the financial news added insult to injury by publicizing Alexander’s resignation. Given that he had been the leading figure of authority in the company, his departure plunged stakeholders into a panic they had never felt before and they hurried to sell off the shares they had in hopes of recouping some of their losses.

Incidentally, Amelia announced that plans for the Olson Family to acquire Griffith Group were underway, which launched the price of their shares to new heights on the stock exchange. Nearly everyone who kept up with the news in the city knew that the Olson Family would inevitably emerge victorious in this power struggle. For the sake of success, she decided that it was best to see Nathan and have their pending partnership formalized in writing. With Johan in tow, it wasn’t until after he and Amelia had arrived at the hotel that they were told of Nathan’s departure.

A huge bribe had been forked out before Nathan’s bodyguard caved into the temptation and told them of Nathan’s whereabouts. Upon obtaining the information, Amelia and Johan set off to look for Nathan. Little did they know that Nathan had left to badger someone as well and that someone happened to be none other than Elise. Over at the Silverton Clubhouse, he was lobbying Elise with no small amount of persistence. “I’ve thought about this, and I think you know A’s whereabouts. I can’t stand not knowing the truth; you need to tell me where A is right now!

Or you could tell me what the deal is between you and A.” Finally, desperation kicked in as he urged, “Fine, I’ll compromise! How about if you just tell me whether A is a man or a woman? That isn’t too much to ask, right?” Alas, all his wheedling was to no avail, for she merely stared ahead absentmindedly as she sat on the couch with her arms crossed. Across from Nathan, Alexander could no longer stand his relentless badgering. “President York, how do you think your investors might feel if they find out that their best pitcher lacks fortitude? I wonder if they would reconsider their investments.”

“Get off your high horse,” Nathan snapped, glaring at Alexander indignantly. “And you’re one to talk, Mr. I-Left-My-Family-Fortune-Behind! Haven’t you heard that the mighty who have fallen would still command more respect than the average person? Do you honestly believe that I’d have taken on all those investors and capital without a contingency plan? I would have made a joke out of myself!” Alexander nodded before he pointed out coolly, “I think you already have done so.”

Indeed, Nathan was behaving like an idiot right now; he was aimlessly pacing around as he glanced from left to right. He looked like he was a couple of cards short of a full deck. “Hmph! Don’t get all haughty with me! I bet you want to know who A is as much as I do,” he retorted wickedly. “Aside from me, A might be the only other person in this city who could help to restore the Griffith Family’s glory.” When she heard this, Elise quietly shot Nathan a look. Alexander, too, merely smiled and offered no retort as he allowed Nathan the pleasure of blowing his own trumpet.
