Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 767

Theodore nodded, fully grasping the weight of the situation.

...

That same day, rumors about Emilia's exhausted appearance at the airport completely dominated the news cycle.

Christian was also ambushed by the press, but true to form, he furiously yelled at the reporters until they scrambled away in fear.

"Such a nasty temper. He must be furious over his failed investment."

That was the general consensus.

Christian didn't even bother trying to correct them.

That afternoon, the door to Chloe's office swung open as her assistant hurried in.

"Miss Erickson, we just uncovered something massive," the assistant said, handing over a tablet. "Right after Emilia returned to the country, she dumped an enormous amount of capital into the international markets. She bought a massive position in gold, and an equally huge stake in copper. She's still aggressively pumping money in as we speak."

Chloe raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.

"What is she playing at?" Chloe mused. "Is there any other intel?"

Her assistant quickly answered.

"Argentelle is expected to announce interest rate cuts soon, which is driving up the price of gold."

"As for her trip to Granthia... there was a minor tremor near an underground copper mine while she was there. She might be gambling heavily on that."

Chloe nodded slowly.

The impending interest rate cuts were common knowledge, and gold had been rallying for a while.

But a tremor at a copper mine?

"Have any official reports come out about the mine?" Chloe asked.

"Nothing at all," the assistant confirmed. "The official word is just routine blasting. Our contacts on the ground said the surface disturbance was practically microscopic—you wouldn't even notice unless you were right on top of it. It shouldn't be anything major."

Chloe immediately relaxed.

She let out a cruel laugh. "It seems Emilia really is desperate. She's praying a spike in copper will magically recover her massive losses."

The more Chloe thought about it, the harder she laughed.

"One wrong move leads to total ruin," Chloe gloated, her face glowing with vicious delight. "She actually thinks she can play the precious metals market? Emilia, you are finished."

"Do this..." Chloe murmured a set of instructions to her assistant.

If Emilia was betting everything on copper going up, Chloe would violently short it to drive the price down. Let's see how long Emilia could hold out!
