The Sway and Slide of Love

Dylan's chest heaved violently as he waited for those numbers to rebound. After all, that was how it had been for the past few days. But this time, they did no such

thing.

Soon, the trading session ended, and the stock market closed.

Dylan clenched his teeth, then immediately stood up and called Caleb.

He hadn't originally planned to enter the market. At first, it was just to humor Caleb. But he quickly realized that Caleb wasn't just boasting.noveldrama

Later, he learned that Caleb was actually a partner in a certain fund over there. Compared to the steady, long-term projects in the country, the thrill of watching those numbers fluctuate was completely different.

The feeling of effortlessly climbing to the top of the pyramid was simply too addictive.

Caleb soon handed him a second proposal-one share, one billion dollars. For ordinary people, this amount might not be achievable even over several generations. But for Dylan at this moment, it was nothing.

More importantly, Dylan knew that Hendrix also had a partner over there. The fund Caleb was part of happened to be a direct competitor to Hendrix's. This suited Dylan perfectly. Not only did he want to surpass Hendrix in Coppersville but also in the stock market.

The next step was to make Hendrix lose everything! Dylan had already planned it all out. He had even thought about what he would do at the victory celebration.

But now? Everything was completely wiped away right in front of Dylan, leaving nothing behind.

Caleb didn't answer the phone. When he heard the cold, automated voice, he felt his heart sink bit by bit. But he still refused to believe it. How was this possible? Had he been scammed? No, that couldn't be.

He had just lost temporarily. Once the market reopened tomorrow, he still had a chance as long as there was a rebound!

With this thought, Dylan quickly returned to his desk. He stared intently at the numbers on the screen, searching for any clues or opportunities.

But then, a news alert popped up, catching his attention. It was financial news from Novaterra.

"Market value evaporates by 30 billion dollars. The founder of Zenith Fund jumped to his death. Debts to be taken over by Fuer Fund."

Dylan sat there, reading the news over and over again. Only after e confirming that he hadn't misread and that the news was indeed real did he finally realize one thing-he had been deceived.

However, the one who had deceived him wasn't Caleb. It was Hendrix Or perhaps Caleb had been working for Hendrix all along? Otherwise, how could Caleb's sudden disappearance be explained?

So, what did this mean? Was everything he had been thinking about all this time nothing but a fantasy? And even that fantasy was something given to him by Hendrix?

Dylan suddenly laughed. It was as if he had heard the biggest joke of his life, laughing so hard that his entire body shook. Then, he swept everything off his desk in one furious motion.

The noise alerted someone outside. They came in to check, but Dylan roared, "Get out!"

His voice was sharp, and his eyes were bloodshot, a stark contrast to his usual gentle and refined

demeanor in the company. Butet

this moment, he didn't have the

at

luxury of keeping up appearances anymore.

When the person still didn't move, Dylan grabbed something next to him and

hurled it at them.

"I said get out!"
