Chapter 501
Isaac was betting that even if Juan could harden his heart enough to ignore Flora, Louisa wouldn’t be willing to leave just like that.
Otherwise, Louisa wouldn’t have rushed directly to the Young Villa to demand Flora’s release.
And the rumors all said Julian was completely infatuated with Louisa.
Providing financing to the Young Group would be pocket change for Julian.
If Louisa insisted on taking Flora away, Julian would probably give in.
That way, Isaac’s goal would be achieved.
He was gambling on it.
At that moment, Louisa had already walked to Julian’s side.
Seeing Julian about to speak, she immediately pressed her hand against his.
Both Julian and William had refused to see Isaac, which showed Julian had no intention of getting involved in the Young family’s affairs again.
How could she let Julian get dragged into this mess because of her?
She quickly met Julian’s eyes, then looked away from that heart–stopping gaze.
She turned to face Isaac, her tone still calm and composed. “Mr. Young I came here to see Flora because, as friends, we’re worried about her. This has nothing to do with Mr. Tudor.”
The implication was clear–today’s matter was purely personal and had nothing to do with the Tudor Group.
Isaac saw that even now, Louisa refused to play by his rules. Anger flared in him.
He even stared at Louisa with a hint of hatred, his tone losing its composure. “Then what do you want?”
Louisa met his gaze coldly. “Mr. Young, we were just discussing the Young Group’s financial crisis. I know you recently hired a financial expert to manage your assets. I’m also very aware of those leveraged futures positions you’re holding, relying on quick in–and–out trading.”
She raised her wrist to check her watch. “It’s five fifty–three now. Seven minutes until six.”
She looked back at Isaac. “This is exactly when foreign markets are most active, followed immediately by domestic markets. If you don’t release Flora right now, I’ll trade against you. If you go long, I’ll go short. If you go short, I’ll go long. I don’t mind losing money–I can lose a thousand to make you lose a thousand. I guarantee I’ll make you lose ten million in ten minutes, twenty million in twenty minutes, forty million in thirty minutes, doubling with each interval. As long as you don’t let Flora out, I’ll make you lose everything until you re bankrupt.
That last sentence carried a cold, powerful aura.

Chapter 501
In that moment, not just tsaac–even the people standing beside Louisa were stunned.
Teddy and Wallace stared at Louisa in shock.
Sadie gazed at her with pure admiration.
Even though Julian knew Louisa’s capabilities, hearing these words from her himself still startled him.
Louisa ignored them all, keeping her eyes fixed on Isaac. “Mr. Young, do you want to bet with me? High–leverage rapid trading can’t withstand targeted pressure from an opponent. Every minute you delay, your losses double. With the Young Group’s pitiful assets, I estimate I could bankrupt you completely before midnight.”
She finished with a cold laugh, making no effort to hide her contempt.
Sadie snapped to attention, immediately grabbing her laptop and bringing it to Louisa’s side. Her voice was excited. “Louisa, now I know why you wanted me to bring my laptop. It’s ready. Here.”
She opened the laptop and held it in front of Louisa.
Isaac glanced at the computer, then back at Louisa. He was truly shocked.
He hadn’t expected Louisa to have such a powerful presence and boldness.
Especially when she said those words–the determination, confidence, and ruthlessness in her tone… he almost believed she could actually do
But that phrase about “the Young Group’s pitiful assets” and the contempt in her eyes still stung him.
He clung to his last shred of rationality, unwilling to compromise, meeting her head–on. “Ms. Forbes talks big. I really don’t believe it. You look down on the Young Group so much–how much capital do you have to trade against me?”
Even if she had some ability, he refused to believe her assets could rival the Young family’s.
If she really could, she wouldn’t be settling for the humble position of investment director.
He instinctively assumed Louisa couldn’t do it.
Just as Louisa was about to speak, Julian’s cool, detached voice came from beside her. “She’s my investment director. Does Mr. Young think she’s
not qualified?”
Isaac’s pupils dilated in shock. He stared at Julian in disbelief. Would he actually let Louisa play with the entire Tudor Group like this?
But meeting Julian’s gaze, he realized Julian wasn’t joking at all.
Louisa was also stunned by Julian’s words.
She instinctively looked at him. She’d made it very clear just now that he didn’t need to get involved–she could handle it.

Chapter 501-
But be still stood with her, using one sentence to bind the two of them together.
Julian looked down at her too, Without saying a word, his expression softened considerably as he raised his hand to gently stroke her head.
That one look, that one gesture–Isaac’s face turned ashen. He could barely stand, stumbling backward.
Lunatics.
They were all lunatics.
Louisa was a lunatic.
Julian was an even bigger lunatic.
Wallace and Teddy were too shocked to speak.
Sadie struck while the iron was hot. “Mr. Young, there’s one minute until six o’clock. Are you going to hand over Flora or not?”
Louisa plus Julian–Isaac didn’t dare gamble anymore.

His face deathly pale, he waved at the butler.
The butler understood and turned to head upstairs.
Louisa gave Sadie a meaningful look. Sadie caught on immediately and followed the butler up.
One minute later.
