Chapter 222
Since she had already pulled out entirely, it didn’t matter if he knew.
Titan was currently backed by heavy corporate support and wouldn’t drop further; there was still room for growth.
But it was no longer worth tying her money up in it.
“How did you spot it p>
Identifying a premium stock hidden in the noise was an incredibly difficult skill.
“No comment. You’re crossing the line p>
“Marry me. Let’s build a business together, separate from our families p>
Admirable courage, but, “I can build a business without marrying you.” “We’d be a power couple. Twice the results with half the effort p>
“I don’t need to p>
“Frustrating p>
Back in class, Elara asked quietly, “Mira, did you put your own money in for me? How is it so much p>
“No, it’s just the returns. Didn’t you see Celine and Liora made a killing too p>
“It’s that profitable p>
“Yes, but you can lose it all just as fast. Wall Street ruins lives, people jump off buildings over this p>
“I get it, no stocks for me. Thank you, Mira. You’re an absolute lifesaver p>
With that cash, Elara felt a massive weight lift off her shoulders. She would stash it away for her college tuition next year.
“Don’t make it a big deal. You can help me out when you’re successful p>
“I’m going to study my heart out and get into your university. Once I graduate, I’ll work for you p>
“Deal. I’ll hold you to that p>
Meanwhile, Celine and Liora were whispering excitedly about their massive windfalls.
Though they kept their voices low, fragments of their conversation drifted to the back
row.
“What? Mira gave them money?
They had followed Mara Mercer for so long and never saw a dime. Sure, she bought them meals and designer trinkets occasionally.
But gifts couldn’t compare to raw cash.
And from what Liora was whispering, it sounded like tens of thousands of dollars.
They instantly felt cheated.
The two girls quietly gathered the rest of their clique to plot their next move.
After school, Mira packed up quickly;
she needed to hit the office to
handle same urgent business
Just as she stepped out of the classroom, a group of students blocked her path.
“Class President, we want to follow you from now on p>
Mira was bewildered. Weren’t these Mara’s loyal minions? Why the sudden defection?
“No thanks. I’m not running a mafia. I don’t need henchmen. Stick with Mara p>
Brayden Knox watched from the sidelines, highly amused.
“No, no, we’re completely done with Mara. We’re with you now p>
“We’re so sorry for being ignorant before. All those nasty
nasty rumors
Spread Were fore
Mara forced us to net
spread, say them p>
“Yeah, she made us do it! If we didn’t, she would… she would p>
“Would what? Cut off your freebies p>
The group fell dead silent.
“They probably realized Mara is a sinking ship and want a new meal ticket,” Liora muttered.
“But I don’t hand out freebies either,” Mira said, genuinely confused.
“But… you gave them money p>
One of the girls pointed accusingly at Liora and Celine.
“Money? What money p>
Mira immediately realized what
happened. Her friends hadet
about the stocks, and these leeches had overheard
Mira shot a dark look at Celine and Liora. “This is your mess p>
“We’re so sorry p>
The two girls looked horrified, never expecting their private whispers to trigger this.
“Don’t apologize to me. You caused this, you handle it p>
