Chapter 160 Short Positions

The moment Edward gave the order, those around him exchanged looks of surprise, but no one questioned it—each simply nodded in acknowledgment.

Meanwhile, Isabella was already diving into the market.

She scanned the latest figures, and just as expected, Hanks Group had made their move.

Bexley Group and Powell Group were both major players–they weren’t going to collapse overnight.

Even if their press conference had bombed, the worst they’d face was a serious blow to their reputation and stock.

Truth was, if Adrian was willing to compromise–carve off a few projects, hand over a chunk of the profit or even spin off eighty percent of their operations–they could still stay afloat.

It would be a rough road ahead, no doubt.

Everyone talked about fighting the system piece by piece.

Isabella wasn’t out to chip away at it. She wanted to destroy it at its very foundation.

Powerful family, vast fortune, huge windfalls?

Let’s see how they’d hold up under a coordinated short attack from Hanks Group and Carter Group.

As for Eugene, she didn’t bother looping him in. She already knew what he and his team would choose to do.

Once the Neural–Network Interface System project went live, Eugene wouldn’t need a hint from her–he‘ short Bexley and Powell in a heartbeat. A golden opportunity like that wasn’t something a man like him would let slip away.

So there was nothing to worry about there.

Instead, Isabella saw this as her chance to dismantle Powell Group completely–or better yet, take it over herself.

She’d made it clear before: every cent that rightfully belonged to the original owner would be accounted for.

If the Powell family wasn’t willing to hand it over, she’d simply take it herself.

How much she could take would depend entirely on her own skill.

Her expression remained steady as she began systematically building her positions–setting up offshore short accounts and carefully layering her funds into the market.

Ifer capital was running a little thin at the moment.

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

Buying that villa had taken a decent chunk out of her reserves.

But that was fine–shed make it back soon enough.

With her funds quietly placed, Isabella closed–her laptop, her face betraying no emotion.

On the other side of town, after spending the entire night stubbornly planted at the kitchen table, Isaac finally reached a conclusion.

If making soup wasn’t his thing–and more importantly, if it wasn’t what Isabella actually needed–then he would focus on what she did need.

One failure didn’t mean anything; he could try a hundred times if he had to.

As long as he was willing to make things right, eventually, Isabella would forgive him.

If he really wanted to be a good brother, it couldn’t stop at just words.

With his mind made up, Isaac left a note for Isabella, packed a small bag, and headed back to Powell Villa.

He was going to secure her position within the family–to make sure she could live comfortably, without having to look over her shoulder.

“I want a position at the company.”

Isaac stood in front of Adrian, his face completely plank.

Adrian let out a short, disbelieving laugh.

“What makes you think you’re qualified to work at the company?” he sneered. “Can you even read a financial report? Do you know how to analyze a performance statement?

“You probably don’t even know what an annualized yield or a KPI is.

“And you

think you can just waltz in here and get a job?”

His eyes were full of disdain.

“Weren’t you the one who ran off with Isabella?

“I thought the Powell family wasn’t good enough for you.”

A cold smirk twisted his features.

Isaac didn’t back down. “Whether I want the Powell family’s resources or not is my choice,” he said coolly “But that doesn’t mean I can’t join the company.

“I still hold shares in this family, It’s up to me whether I exercise those rights–but if I choose to, you have
