Chapter 25 The Only Seat Worth Taking

Finished

In this round, who knew how many funds that had shorted Hanks Group were about to go under. Even the ones with deep pockets probably took a serious hit.

Carter Group hadn’t jumped into this shorting frenzy, and plenty of people within the company were breathing sighs of relief.

During that stretch earlier when Isabella hadn’t replied to him, Eugene’s phone had been ringing nonstop.

Every shareholder of Carter Group was calling to thank him.

Even that board member who had shot his mouth off in front of Eugene earlier was now sheepishly calling to apologize.

The guy was practically getting torn apart by the criticism.

Especially since he’d previously pushed Eugene to short Hanks Group. When Eugene refused, he’d gone around claiming Eugene was too emotional and unfit to lead Carter Group.

Eugene was used to all that.

But Isabella’s actions made him feel like she was actually helping him.

“Are you Vex?” Eugene asked.

The other party’s moves were already making waves in the stock market.

Everyone was saying Vex was a shell account for Hanks Group, but now it seemed like maybe not?

Eugene thought about the way Isabella had worded her messages, then asked, “What are the terms?”

Whatever the reason was for helping Carter Group, these terms were favorable, and it was worth taking a

bite.

Especially since this involved a lot of Powell Group’s core interests.

It looked like Powell Group was taking quite a beating this time; otherwise, they wouldn’t be offering these kinds of terms to trade for Hanks Group call options with Vex.

Not that Hanks Group’s call options weren’t valuable, but the value gap here was pretty significant.

If Powell Group put these interests out on the open market, they could fetch a lot more than just these call options.

But right now, with Hanks Group’s stock price continuously climbing and the urgent need to close their positions, Powell Group had no choice but to make a painful cut, using these assets to secure as much stock benefit as possible to recoup their massive losses.

Otherwise, if their accounts got liquidated, Powell Group would lose far more than just these interests.

Isabella glanced at the message Eugene sent, casually quoted a generous figure, and told him to wire the

payment.

She didn’t try to rip Eugene off; she just gave a fair price.

After all, he’d helped her out before.

Isabella had said earlier that her “fare” was pretty valuable.

Eugene would definitely be satisfied.

The premium on those prices could count as his fare.

Oh, and I still owe him that hundred bucks.

Whatever, I’ll pay him back next time.

Isabella thought to herself, feeling pretty pleased.

Eugene looked somewhat surprised, staring at the price Isabella had quoted.

It was too reasonable.

He had already gathered the department heads, planning to have them see if there was any room to negotiate on the price Vex was offering.

After all, core interests like these were bound to be sold at a premium.

Not to mention, the leverage was currently in Vex’s hands.

If she wanted, she could have plenty more of that kind of core interests and advantages.

But the price Isabella gave was just too reasonable.

So reasonable that Eugene felt it would be almost immoral, downright unethical, to try to haggle it down further.

He paused for a moment, then immediately agreed, instructing the legal and secretarial departments to draft the contract and send it over later to finalize the deal with Isabella.

ľ

After Isabella wrapped up these matters, the driver had already returned with the backpack.

Since Isabella was transferring mid–semester, her textbooks were handed out on the spot.

Once packed, the backpack was instantly filled, heavy and bulky.

Isabella lifted the backpack to feel its weight and suddenly regretted coming to school.

Maybe this whole school thing wasn’t absolutely necessary.

Maybe she could find another way to settle the score for the original host?

How come even after coming back to the 21st century, she still had to go to school and memorize things?!
