Wyner left the Bureau of Land Management after receiving the official documents.
Meanwhile, Kenton was enjoying a feast with his associates in
a private suite when Adrien hurried over with a look of
excitement.
“Mr. Wray, Wynter has officially secured the deal for the western land of Valen Village,” Adrien reported in a hushed
voice.
Instantly, Kenton leaped from his seat with a hearty laugh. Startled by his sudden outburst, the others shot him curious
looks.
“Do you have anything exciting to share, Mr. Wray? Or is it a stock market plunge?” someone asked.
Another refuted, “The stocks must be solid and rising. It’s something else.”
With a beaming smile, Kenton raised his glass and stated, ” This isn’t for me to say. Tell them the news, Adrien.”
When Adrien recounted the events at the Bureau of Land Management, the group burst into laughter.
“Are you serious? Typical of a youngster. How brave of her to act so confidently without understanding the new picture. She must be quite full of herself after her last victory.” Someone snickered.

“Only a fool will take over that part of the land. Not only will she incur heavy losses, but she’ll also put her family at risk trying to cover her major shortfall. Let’s keep quiet and watch the Whitmans crumble into chaos,” another echoed.
Kenton’s associates gloated over Wynter’s possible
predicament. Their own businesses had been struggling since the Blaises‘ rise to success.
Just like Kenton, they had suffered reputational damages that led to declines in their market capitalizations. Not to mention they had faced severe criticism from their capitalists backers, with Wynter being the one to blame.
In truth, the group had colluded to corner Albert in the stock markets. Following Wynter’s acquisition of Westvalen, the Quinnell family was bound to face a major setback.
Just then, someone posed a question. “Are there really no issues with the gold stocks?”
Clinking his wine glass, Kenton affirmed, “Everything is in
order. The Quinnells will be too occupied to bother, and the Whitmans won’t offer any support. In the end, all she can do is

“-Flee Hawford in disgrace!” someone interjected. He turned out to be the one who refused Wynter’s offer and ended up
ridiculed as a bootlicker.
The group of pot bellied men were willing to go to great lengths for profit. After all, they had even stooped to smearing domestic goods on the foreign investors‘ behalf.

Far from feeling remorseful about laundering the compatriots‘ money offshore, they were filled with excitement.
The men grumbled about the long weekend wait, impatiently counting the days until the stock market opened. By Monday, everyone would see that the stocks they kept skyrocketed while those they sold plummeted.
Such was the classic pump–and–dump scheme of capitalists. They initially drove up the price only to let them crash, ultimately leaving the investors with losses.
As the scheme was plotted discreetly, the men were confident that their ruse would go unnoticed.
Meanwhile, news of Wynter acquiring a worthless piece of land began circulating within the social circles.
During business meetings with Noah, some openly mocked, We heard Ms. Quinnell has taken over Westvalen. I have to say, I’m impressed by the Whitmans‘ generosity. To think that you’ll easily splurge five million just for kicks.”
Their inquisitive words and smirks betrayed their underlying malice. At that point, Wynter’s actions had raised doubts about her business acumen among many.
