Chapter 779
Vanessa Voss asked from the sidelines.
“He’s my brother’s friend. An honored guest of our family p>
Luna replied defensively, acting like a guard dog protecting its meal, terrified that Vanessa might set her sights on her crush.
“That’s the guy I was telling you about. He’s the designated heir of his overseas dynasty Jude Vance p>
Seraphina added.
With that said, the group purposefully threw a glance in Mira’s direction.
They felt that Jude’s current brilliance completely eclipsed both Owen and Mira. Whether it was his youth or his staggering status, he seemingly outclassed them on every front.
What were Owen and Mira thinking right now?
Seraphina fully expected the couple to be craning their necks just like everyone else, their faces twisted with envy and bitter jealousy.
But she was sorely disappointed.
Because Mira and Owen-no, Mira’s entire entourage weren’t paying the slightest bit of attention to Jude’s grand entrance.
They were still chatting and laughing with Hank Whitlock and Harvey, utterly unfazed by the spectacle.
“Do they seriously not care at all p>
Luna asked in disbelief.
“Impossible p>
Seraphina replied sharply.
There was no way Mira’s group could genuinely be that indifferent.
“They probably just haven’t noticed him yet. Or maybe they’re just completely
clueless about how powerful he actually is p>
Yes, that had to be it.
Meanwhile, Harvey turned to Mira. “Is that guy really that formidable p>
Wyatt and the others immediately perked up, eavesdropping closely.
“He’s definitely a threat. Word is, he’s ruthlessly bold but incredibly meticulous.
When he was fifteen, he dove into the overseas stock market. Using pinpoint predictions and aggressive tactics, he raked in millions of dollars in just half a month.
He absolutely shocked the local financial sector.
At sixteen, he played the market in the Auremont Isles and basically bought out an entire island.
But last year, when he was seventeen, he tried to test the waters on Wall Street and lost-
everything. His family deliberately
suppressed the
news soj never
went public p>
This intel had all been gathered by her network’s informants.
“And his family background p>
Wyatt asked.
“Could a family that produced a prodigy like Oracle Vance really be weak p>
Even geniuses required guidance
and relentless practice. No matter
how brilliant someone was, an
ordinary family simply didn’t have
the capital to let a teenager treat the
stock market like a sandbox.
“So what about tonight p>
Listening to Mira’s assessment, Wyatt, Harvey, and the rest suddenly felt a surge of anxiety for her.
Mira just smiled. “Relax, we aren’t
exactly easy targets either. If they
want to corner
cornet us, it’s going to take a
drawn-out process. It definitely
won’t happen tonight.
Besides, he’s a foreign citizen, yet the CEOs he’s rallying are all Mavarians.
Do you really think the Mavaria Procurement Board is going to sit back and let a foreigner manipulate our domestic markets without investing a dime p>
“Wait! He’s trying to grift his way into power p>
“Up until this very second, he hasn’t funneled a single cent of his own capital into the domestic market p>
“So that bastard Lawrence is just inviting a wolf right through the front door p>
“Maybe Lawrence is deliberately stoking the tension between Jude and us, using him as a weapon to wipe us out p>
Harvey deduced, the pieces finally clicking into place.
“Spot on. That’s exactly what I’m thinking p>
Mira said with a light laugh.
“The building is basically on fire, and you’re still laughing p>
Jillian Lowe chimed in.
“It’s fine. The sky isn’t falling p>
“The Lance family really is a piece of trash, aren’t they p>
Jillian cursed without holding back.
Elara Finn shot a nervous glance at Owen and quickly shushed her. “If you want to
trash Lawrence, go right ahead, but don’t drag the rest of the family into it p>
