310.Chapter 310

When the market closed that afternoon, Alex watched in disbelief as 200 million vanished from Weston Group’s value in just one hour. Enraged, he hurled his computer and keyboard to the floor. The crash of shattered electronics echoed through the conference room.

The traders stood frozen, trembling, not a single one daring to even breathe.

George sat at the head of the table, his face ghostly pale and his hands shaking.

After the tax penalties, the whole company had been hanging by a thread. It took time to stabilize, and with his eldest son back, who helped recoup a lot of the losses, Weston Group had only just started to claw its way back to normal.

But now, losing that much money in just an hour, George was on the verge of breaking down. That kind of loss was almost too much for him to handle.

After kicking the traders out, Alex sat down next to George, furious.

Alex said, “Derrick really is hiding his true strength. He’s got way more money than we ever guessed, like he’s not afraid to burn through it, just keeps coming at us nonstop.

“And besides his own resources, I just found out there’s money pouring in from somewhere behind the scenes.”

George narrowed his eyes, immediately suspicious. He said, “You need to find out who’s funding him, and do it now.”

George thought, ‘Is Easton secretly helping them out from the shadows?’

Alex got what George meant and shook his head. He said, “When I was working the trades earlier, I already had someone dig into it on the sly. The cash isn’t coming from Menolia or Jenston; it’s coming in from Windmere.”

George thought, ‘From what we know, Foster Group’s never had any deals over in Windmere. Maybe someone else is secretly bankrolling Crestview Group?’

Alex paused, deep in thought. He then said, “Guess it’s time to switch up our game plan.”

George frowned and asked, “Got a better idea?”

Alex lit a cigarette and said, “Dad, I guess it depends on whether you’re willing to sacrifice Stella for the sake of the family.”

Ever since Stella got back from Menolia, she hadn’t returned to work at Jenston TV Station. She even asked the station manager to extend her leave.

Behind the scenes, she had Alex arrange for someone to fly to Japoria, hoping to dig up any information about Sophia’s child while the Roth family was still in turmoil.

Sophia had spent years in Japoria, and there were hardly any records about her. Even Easton probably wouldn’t be able to uncover much.

Stella could pretty much guess now: this was all part of Derrick’s plan.

She thought, ‘That kid really is Derrick’s.

‘Even if Derrick is just adopted, he and Sophia are still siblings in everyone’s eyes. Not only did they have a forbidden relationship behind closed doors, but now there was even a child involved.

‘Sophia, if I blow this whole thing wide open, let’s see if you can still keep your reputation as Jenston’s number one

socialite.

‘Who knows, maybe Easton will turn against her because of this.

‘Good, I’ll be waiting for that day to come.’

Stella had just called her contacts in Japoria, and Alex’s crew really knew what they were doing. Even with barely any info, they’d managed to pick up a faint trail about that kid.

Stella told them to make sure to get her photos and details ASAP. Meanwhile, she had her assistant book her a flight to Japoria for tonight.

Right then, Alex called and told her to track down Derrick and Sophia’s kid, fast.

Stella smirked and thought, ‘I and my so-called brother are actually thinking the same thing for once.’

She replied, “Yeah, I know what to do. Trust me that kid won’t slip through my fingers.”

n hour, I’ll be on my way to Japoria. This time,
