Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 836

Honestly, it was better if Jude was putting his own money on the line. It would distract him and keep him from trying to sabotage Mira.

The next morning, Atlantic National stock resumed its slow bleed.

"The long buyers are slowly pulling out," Owen noted.

Mira's eyes remained locked on Fidelity Trust. "It's time to enter. Same as yesterday. One-quarter of the capital, fifty times leverage."

This time, Wesley didn't utter a word of protest. He complied immediately. Given the current trajectory, their play on Atlantic National was already proving highly successful.

But to their shock, that afternoon, Fidelity Trust's stock suddenly skyrocketed. At this point, even attempting an exit would cost them a massive chunk of their capital.

The stock eventually hit its daily upper limit, freezing any further upward movement.

Hearts pounded around the room. They were leveraged fifty-to-one. If it hit the limit again tomorrow, they would face a margin call, and that quarter of their war chest would be wiped out entirely.

Yet, when the market opened on the third day, Mira didn't flinch. She calmly issued the order to short Loomis & Marlowe.

"Should we hold off for a minute?" Ethan asked.

"Execute it. The window is closing,"

Mira replied.

Fortunately, Fidelity Trust's monstrous surge had decelerated, though it was still inching upward. Meanwhile, Atlantic National continued its steady freefall, offering the team a much-needed sigh of relief.

Mira's apparent "failure" with Fidelity Trust the day before had caused the Wall Street cartels to lose interest in the Mavarian upstarts.

They dropped their surveillance, content to simply wait for the inevitable finale: watching the Mavarians break down in tears or jump off a building.

It was a tragedy they had seen play out countless times before.

By the afternoon, Fidelity Trust was still creeping up, Atlantic National was drifting down, but Loomis & Marlowe was nosediving rapidly. Hope surged back into the room.

"Should we increase our position on Loomis & Marlowe?" Ethan asked.
