Chapter 39
After dinner, Mira went back to her room, leaving them all to scowl.
She opened her laptop. Making money was the priority. The major fluctuations in Bitcoin would only last for a few more days.
Her mind was strong now. She didn’t care anymore, so she wouldn’t get angry over their actions.
This time, she started with a principal of five million dollars.
She now had tens of millions, and this line of work was high-risk. You should never put all your eggs in one basket.
A correct move could earn millions, but a wrong judgment could mean losing the entire principal.
She identified a starting point and opened a position.
Half an hour later, she had made two million dollars.
Then, she made a mistake on one trade. After an emergency closing of the position, she still lost one million.
After waiting a while longer, she went long again and brought in three million.
In total, she had earned four million dollars for the evening.
This work required boldness, meticulousness, and decisiveness.
It also required confidence and luck. Often, the more you feared losing money, the more likely you were to make a mistake.
But then again, no matter how easy the money seemed, you always had to set aside enough for living expenses and a fund to start over, which you could never touch.
Mira looked at the chart. The market was consolidating, with few opportunities left, so she decided to call it a day and get some rest.
She had earned a total of thirteen million today. Adding that to her previous two million seven hundred thousand, Mira now had sixteen million dollars saved up.
She was about to turn off the light and go to sleep when there was a knock on her door.
It was Ethan. He came in, sat on the sofa, and was met with Mira’s cold and impatient expression.
“Mira, can we talk p>
Mira sighed. “Go ahead, but don’t take too long. It’s my bedtime p>
“Mira, have you noticed that the distance between you and the family is growing?” Mira glanced at him. “So what if it is p>
“Yes, I admit that since Mara came back, the family has favored her and neglected you.
But she was lost for seventeen years. Isn’t it only natural to want to make it up to her p>
“What does her being lost or not have to do with me? Your favoritism towards her has nothing to do with me either.
But she has bullied me and framed me multiple times. Are you all blind p>
“You… you’re just talking about the staircase incident, aren’t you?” “Just p>
Let’s not even talk about the earlier conflicts where she was the one framing me. Let’s just talk about last time if she had succeeded, how serious would the consequences. have been?
You’re a smart man. You’re not telling me you don’t know, are you p>
If Mara had succeeded last time,
Mira would have become a social pariah, a target of ridicule
everywhere she went. The events of her past life would have been repeated.
“We wouldn’t have let the situation escalate publicly p>
A flicker of mockery crossed Mira’s eyes. “Mara is still doing fine because you all
pulled out all the stops on damage control.
But if she had succeeded last time, not only would you not have helped me, you would have kicked me while I was down p>
The tragic experiences of her past life were still vivid in her memory.
“How could that be? Impossible. We’re family. We would never kick you while you’re down.
Mira, are you thinking of your family in such a terrible light p>
“Am I?
After the staircase incident, all of you sided with Mara. Did anyone listen to a single word I said?
One by one, you all angrily discussed how to punish me.
Right, you weren’t back yet, but I released the video footage that day. Don’t you
think something about it just doesn’t add up p>
On the night of the welcome banquet, they were only concerned with not aking their dirty laundry in public, with containing the damage to the Mercer Group’s image. They all condemned Mira for disregarding the family’s reputation.
They didn’t recognize their own mistakes or the injustice they had shown her at all.
Ethan was speechless.
“You did help me investigate afterward, but why did the security camera footage become so conveniently unclear at that exact moment?
