A Superpowered Warrior in a Fake Heiress’s Body novel Chapter 43

Finished

Over the past few days, the entire internet had been talking about absolutely nothing but Vex.

Across every financial board, traders were calling her the girl with the Midas touch.

In a single trading session, she had rocketed from a completely blank account to the absolute peak of the market leaderboard, harvesting staggering profits and single–handedly swallowing up the capital of the firms shorting the Hanks Group.

A few hyper–greedy quantitative hedge funds were even driven into total bankruptcy because of her maneuvers.

Among them were ruthless, vulture–like fund managers who had never lost a single shorting campaign in their careers, yet they were completely slaughtered by Vex all the same.

In this massive financial warfare surrounding the Hanks Group, the absolute biggest winner besides the Hanks family themselves was Vex.

Analysts estimated that after this legendary sweep, her liquid assets had instantly skyrocketed to a staggering two billion dollars.

Leveraging a mere thirty million dollars into a cool two billion.

If the Hanks crisis hadn’t wrapped up so quickly, Eugene had zero doubt that Vex could have milked the market for even more billions.

Throughout the entire market volatility, Vex had remained terrifyingly composed, completely unfazed by the sudden drops and spikes of the Hanks stock.

She held her line perfectly until the absolute final second to execute a flawless maximum harvest.

Her precision and timing were nothing short of absolute mastery.

“Deal.”

Eugene hesitated for only a fraction of a second before texting his agreement.

Ordinarily, for a chief executive of his caliber, a massive capital investment like this would require assembling a board of directors for an emergency meeting,

followed by summoning product managers and lead research engineers for exhaustive technical reviews and market feasibility studies,

before finally drafting a comprehensive execution roadmap to sit down and negotiate with Vex.

But right now, a powerful instinct screamed at him that walking away from this meant missing out on the single greatest financial windfall of his entire life.

So, he let his gut take the wheel and signed on in under five seconds.

“Perfect.”

Isabella fired back a simple smiling emoji.

“I’ll send over the core R&D blueprint in a bit. Just pass it to your engineering team and tell them to build exactly what’s on the file.

“If they hit a wall, they can ping me anytime.”

Isabella added, dropping an encrypted, direct contact handle.

It was labeled with a single letter “G“-obviously a secure alias.

Eugene stared at the contact card, completely intrigued.

This Vex character is getting more mysterious by the second.

He blinked in astonishment for a brief moment before saving the contact info, planning to hand it directly to his lead tech director.

Before he could even type a reply, Isabella’s status instantly went offline.

The moment Adrian found out about Isabella’s counter–demands, he flew into an absolute rage.

“A five percent stake?!” he roared coldly. “Who the h*ll does she think she is?!”

Seeing his reaction, Isaac immediately scowled, completely unamused.

“Adrian, you’re entirely out of line here,” Isaac countered, knitting his brows.

“Isabella was the one who got pushed around today.

“Forcing her to take the fall just to keep the Bexleys happy is already low enough.

“Now she’s just asking for a basic five percent stake.

“Adrian, that’s what any child born into the Powell family is rightfully entitled to anyway.

“Besides…”

His voice turned serious as he pressed on, “The Bexleys literally spat in the face of our family, and your grand plan is to just sweep it under the rug?

“Sure, the Powell Group needs their money right now, but that doesn’t give those bastards the right to treat our sister like absolute garbage!

“No matter how you look at it, Isabella is our flesh and blood.

“Are you seriously going to stand by and watch her get bullied without making them pay a single dime?”

“What does that make us? Imagine what people will say about you

behind your

back!”

“Adrian, look me in the eye and tell me I’m wrong.”

Isaac knew his oldest brother’s psychological triggers inside out.

Adrian would stop at nothing to save the Powell Group, but by that same token, he would absolutely never tolerate another corporate family stepping on his neck.

Right now, the Bexleys weren’t just picking on his sister; they were actively exploiting the Powell Group’s financial crisis to bleed them dry.

He knew damn well Adrian was privately seething about it.

Now that Isabella had thrown them a bone, it was the perfect chance to turn the tables on the Bexleys. There was no way Adrian would miss an opportunity like that.

The Bexleys thought they bought Adrian’s compliance with their funding, but now that they got what they wanted, Adrian was bound to use this exact opening to sink his teeth into their throats.

Hearing Isaac’s breakdown, Adrian’s scowl deepened slightly.

Isaac’s words hit him right where it counted.

While he needed Isabella to make the police report vanish, he was utterly furious about the Bexleys trying to hijack his leverage.

Forking over a five percent stake wasn’t completely out of the question.
