Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 52

At Emp Stock Exchange, Brian stood in front of a huge screen watching the red and green numbers and charts on it, with indifference and contempt written on his face. The look in his eyes was filled with confidence and ruthlessness, and that arrogance suited those who were at the top of the pyramid.

Harrow stood beside him and was looking at the screen as well. The excitement in his gaze grew deeper and deeper. After the market had closed, he said cheerfully," What a good job Aaron has done!"

Brian slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, then moved his gaze away from the huge screen and turned his eyes to the monitoring screen of the lobby. In the picture, some people were shouting madly, and some were crying loud; others, who were extremely overwhelmed, were standing still with paper and pen in their hands, and staring blankly at the screen in front of them.

In terms of these scenarios, the stock market could be likened to casinos. You might become a billionaire there overnight, or you might get debt-ridden in a second.

Brian enjoyed the thrill of ups and downs, and that was why he engaged only in stocks and casinos.

To witness the sudden change of lives in such a short period of time was like the excitement one could feel during a roller-coaster ride. It was dramatic and stimulating enough just to think about it.

A ruthless grin appeared on Brian's face when he thought, 'The greedier you are, the more you will lose eventually!"

He stepped towards the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine and filled two glasses with it. After handing one glass to Harrow, he said to him," Aaron isn't a simple person. One who's able to endure silently and wait for his opportunity patiently like him will definitely make a hit sooner or later."

Harrow merely shrugged his shoulders in response. He sat down on the sofa and glanced at the monitoring screen, and said unemotionally," I'm curious about what the news around the world will be like tomorrow."

He thought indifferently, 'How many people will end their lives after such an unexpected and unacceptable incident?'

"Not my business," Brian sneered and said coldly," and since they played their part in the game, they should have been prepared for such a result."

Harrow fell silent. During this sudden change in the stock market, the stock prices of some promising companies declined so considerably that they were suspended from trading, while other stocks which weren't favored by most investors rocketed up in their values. However, these phenomena didn't happen by accident but were orchestrated by Brian. Whether in casinos or on stock market, the so-called 'luck' was actually a means of deceiving those who were ignorant to believe in it.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. After Brian had replied "Come in," Tony pushed the door open and went inside. He glanced at Harrow, and then walked up to Brian and said," Mr. Long, Miss Xia has left the villa."

After hearing his words, the look in Brian's eyes immediately turned cold. He asked," Didn't I say that she wasn't allowed to leave the house?"

Tony paused for a little while, and then replied," Her mother is in hospital..."

Tony stopped for a moment before finishing his words because he suddenly felt the terrifying fury radiating from Brian who was standing close to him. Besides fury, he also sensed some strange feelings based on Brian's reaction that he wasn't able to understand.

"Send people out to search for her!" Brian shouted angrily. With a deep and serene gaze in his eyes, he then continued to command," Keep your eyes on the Sacred Domain!"

"Yes, Mr. Long!" replied Tony immediately. He was about to leave when he saw that Brian quickly dropped his wine glass on the desk and grabbed his coat from the sofa, and then rushed out.

His sudden unexpected move astonished the two left in the room, especially Harrow

Who asked out of curiosity," What happened?"

Tony glanced at him and then replied calmly," News came that the Sacred Domain might take revenge on Molly because of what happened to David."

"Really?" said Harrow with an arched eyebrow. Tony nodded to him in reply, and then hurriedly left the room.

The relaxing atmosphere a while ago was stirred by the sudden happening, with Brian's fury still haunting the room. Harrow raised his glass and took a small sip. Then he lifted the corners of his mouth giving a sly smile.

"Interesting!" he murmured to himself. "Limiting her freedom, making enemies because of her, failing to control emotions... Brian, don't you think that you're taking this game too seriously? I'm curious about how Becky will react to this once she knows about it." ...
