Chapter 221
She had originally intended to withdraw the funds in batches to avoid drawing attention.
But the capital had grown too massively; after the second round of investments, her principal now sat at over $120 million.
Even pulling out a third of it at once could violently tank the stock price, triggering a panic sell-off from other investors.
If it hit the daily limit down, Mira Mercer might not be able to liquidate her remaining shares today.
Waiting until tomorrow meant pulling out at a lower point, and the lost profit would be astronomical.
Mira glanced at the staggering balance on her screen and breathed a sigh of relief.
Shutting her laptop, she tapped into the memories of her past life to help her teacher draft the Unit Evaluation Sheets.
Less than three minutes after morning exercises concluded, Mr. Harth walked in.
“That was fast. Did you sprint here p>
“How did it go? Everything smooth p>
“Are you asking about the evaluation sheets p>
Mira teased him intentionally.
“Messing with me, aren’t you? Is writing a test hard for a top student like you p>
Mr. Harth shot her a glare.
“So you finally admit I’m a top student p>
Mira smiled.
He usually nitpicked everything, finding any excuse to deduct points when grading her assignments.
Mr. Harth grumbled inwardly that if he didn’t keep her grounded, her ego would inflate out of control.
“Spit it out p>
“Everything went perfectly p>
Mira stopped teasing; time was short.
“The first investment quadrupled, the second doubled p>
“That much p>
Mr. Harth’s eyes lit up.
He rarely lost his composure, being in his twenties but forcing himself to maintain a strict, professional front.
“This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t go gambling on stocks after this p>
“Do I look like a child to you p>
Mira quickly transferred his $90,000 cut.
“Didn’t know you were so interested in money p>
“Anyone who says they aren’t interested in money is a hypocrite. When you can barely afford food, rent or providing for your family who has the luxury to claim that? Without money, you can’t move an inch in this world p>
Mira nodded.
“I finished the base sections of the test. The rest is on you p>
Then she headed to class.
Walking in, without even looking up, she could feel Liora Bennett’s burning gaze.
Mira pretended not to notice.
Back at her seat, she quickly texted her, “We’ll talk at lunch p>
Otherwise, the girl wouldn’t stop staring and would inevitably draw suspicion.
At lunch, they intentionally sat
together. Mira checked their
surroundings before holding up four fingers, indicating a quad
return.
“Wow, really p>
Liora gasped aloud.
“Keep your voice down p>
Celine Ward patted her back, exasperated by her lack of discretion.
Celine’s $75,000 had skyrocketed to $300,000, while Liora’s $30,000 had turned into $120,000.
Elara Finn’s $150, routed through Kieran Holt the next day, had leveraged heavily and also quadrupled to $600.
Mira discreetly transferred the money to
mving one
letting
them one by one without amounts out loud them check their own phon
She turned to Elara. “I’ll put your six hundred on a new card for you later p>
“Remember, no reckless trading on your own. One wrong move and you lose everything p>
Mira had to drill the warning into them.
Thinking it over, she posted the same warning in the company group chat.
She needed to ensure her employees didn’t get addicted to the thrill and ruin their lives chasing the high.
While she was at it, she wired Harvey Rivers his massive payout.
He replied instantly. “Now can you tell me the stock p>
“Titan p>
