Chapter 532
Reviving Porter’s stock from rock bottom required an enormous amount of capital. If the stock actually recovered, the millions of dollars Mira had poured into shorting it would be wiped out.
By the next evening, Lenny Forbes had dug up everything on the people Roxanne had brought back with her. Mira didn’t recognize most of the names, but one stood out: Zachary Lloyd.
Lenny sent a photo. It was definitely him-Lawrence Lance’s right-hand man.
Roxanne had disguised herself and slipped out of Melvion City undetected, turning off her phone to avoid being tracked. No one expected her to leave during such a critical moment. It was a smart move. No ordinary investor would throw money at Porter Entertainment in its current state.
But Lawrence was different. He despised Mira and saw Owen as his mortal enemy. He would invest just to spite them.
The truth was, Roxanne had bought this information from Mara for a few thousand dollars. What Mira didn’t know was exactly how much capital Lawrence was willing to provide.
Mira dialed Owen’s number. “Owen, Lawrence is involved. Zachary is in Melvion City p>
Owen had been in Aethelgard handling Mira’s business, especially the mobile OS development, and managing his own properties. He was also cleaning up Lawrence’s mess.
Mira felt she could handle Porter Entertainment on her own, so she hadn’t bothered him. She only consulted Owen or Dominic West when she needed help.
“If Zachary is there, he definitely brought the Lance Family’s financial experts,” Owen said. “As for capital, it shouldn’t be too much. Lawrence can only mobilize a couple of billion dollars at most Any more than that, and he’d have to go through my grandfather p>
“Got it. I’ll be careful,” Mira replied.
“You have enough capital to handle them, but the Lance Family has some top-tier tech talent. You and Ethan need to stay sharp p>
“Understood. Keep an eye on Lawrence for me, and find out exactly who he sent and what they can do p>
“Will do. Call me if you run into any trouble.” Owen promised to keep his phone on.
The next morning, Mira held her ground, choosing to wait and see what the opponent would do. She noticed they only bumped the stock price up slightly before stopping the cash flow.
This meant one of two things: either their funds were limited, or they were waiting for her to make a move.
“We can’t just let it rise,” Ethan told Mira. Even a slight daily increase would shift market sentiment and cause investors to follow suit.
Mira agreed. But when they dumped ten million dollars into shorting the stock, the operation rebounded The computer screens flickered wildly, the signals scrambling into chaos.
