Chapter 768
“Then let’s wait a bit. If you guys aren’t joining, it won’t be any fun.
However, Wesley’s hundred thousand better be ready p>
Quentin still wasn’t willing to let Wesley off the hook.
In this Live-Trading Challenge, Wesley took first place and won the thirty-five- thousand-dollar prize. What was even more impressive was that he had used a model, meaning the initial twenty-thousand-dollar bounty was also his.
This was why Quentin was so mad.
Mira took second place with a thirty-thousand-dollar prize, and Harvey took fourth with twenty thousand dollars.
Since both of them had chipped in fifty thousand to organize the competition, they had practically earned half of it back.
Not only had they made over a million dollars, but more importantly, they had acquired a ton of investment skills and knowledge. It was completely worth it.
Wyatt and Cedric had mirrored Mira’s investment model, but their portfolios couldn’t be identical.
Therefore, they didn’t make it into the top five.
However, under Mira’s guidance, their initial investments had multiplied several times over.
Elara and Zachary didn’t participate in the competition, but their portfolios were direct copies of Mira’s. They couldn’t win any prizes, but their percentage returns matched hers, turning their two thousand dollars into over twenty thousand.
Their class president experienced the same success.
So, everyone was eagerly anticipating another live-trading competition.
Unfortunately, Mira and Harvey were about to get very busy and wouldn’t have time for this.
When Leah heard about their lucrative returns yesterday, she was sick with regret. She regretted withdrawing her two thousand dollars and having a falling out with Mira. If she hadn’t, she would have made over twenty thousand too.
But after the poisoning incident, she had thoroughly offended Mira, making any chance of reconciliation impossible.
The fourth and fifth places went to two heavy-hitter juniors, while Quentin landed in sixth place, completely missing out on the prize money and honor.
As the society president, failing to place was a massive blow to his ego.
Mira finally understood why he had been furiously cursing Wesley.
Because if Wesley hadn’t competed, Quentin would have won a prize.
While Mira was lost in thought, she heard someone yelling again, “Have some shame! Stealing prize money from freshmen and acting so smug about it p>
They looked up to find a junior girl offering an explanation: “Quentin is chewing Wesley out p>
Everyone was speechless.
Just as Mira and the group were about to leave, an upperclassman called out to them.
“Lady Oracle, could you organize another competition p>
The students beside him also looked at Mira and Harvey with hopeful eyes.
It wasn’t just Wyatt and his friends who wanted another run; almost everyone in the society-whether they had made a profit or lost their capital-was gearing up for a second round.
At the start of this competition, everyone thought Mira and Harvey throwing down
fifty thousand dollars each was insane.
As students, coming up with that kind of money was no small feat. Some even thought they were stupid for letting fifty grand go down the drain. Was it really worth
it?
But after learning about their true
het
identities recently, they realized it
was nothing. They were loaded
tossing out a bit of money wouldn’t dent their bank accoun
at all.
In fact, they had effortlessly raked in over a million dollars this time around.
“Sorry, we’ve got some business to handle next. When we have time later, we’ll set it up again p>
A flash of disappointment crossed their eyes before lighting up again. “We’ll be waiting p>
After they walked away, Harvey whispered to Mira, “Wesley’s technical skills are insane. I want to ask him to come with us p>
Mira knew he meant the upcoming trip to Wall Street, but there were too many people around to speak bluntly.
“I already have Owen, Ethan, and
Lucian on my side, so my team is pretty much set. You could definitely. Put anything
aire him as your trader If any
comes up, you’ll have someone to
keep an eye on things for you.
