The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1454

Every single stock trend on the screen before him seemed to deliver a brutal blow to Kenton. His confident smile vanished in an instant.

Among all the trends, one stood out sharply—the price of gold, which they had all been certain would plummet, was increasing!

"Is the price of gold increasing? How could it be going up?" Kenton's eyes were blazed with fury.

Didn't Yvette assure him that the price gap would emerge once the market opened in the afternoon? Yet, in just one morning, the price of gold had surged by ten dollars per share!

To put this in perspective, during a market downturn, even well-established companies might see their stock prices barely holding at a few dollars per share. That was practically barely sustaining the most basic shareholder interests, not to mention investors.

In contrast, a ten dollar rise per share was monumental. It meant that investors in gold not only avoided losses, but some might even see their investments catapult them to a new financial echelon if their stakes were significant enough just from today's movement.

Kenton could hardly accept this outcome. The Quinnell family had already reaped significant profits from the land deal! He would never allow the Quinnells to earn money from even the stock market!

Kenton was overwhelmed by his frustration as he looked at the stock trends on the screen. Then, he picked up his laptop and hurled it to the ground.

The Chamber of Commerce members felt a cold shiver run down their spine and quickly rushed to intervene.

"Mr. Wray, please calm down."

"Yes, please."

Some of them were genuinely worried that he might crush his laptop. Considering this was Kenton's office, they were concerned that they might not be able to see the trends of their own stocks.

They took note of the expression on Kenton's face and carefully took the laptop away from him.

"Ms. Yates was right! It's definitely going up!"

"Today's rise is just the beginning. It will surely go up even more, Emmett!"

"Increase the stakes! We have to continue investing!" Kenton tapped on the table a few times. His gaze never left the stocks he had invested in. "Contact the trader and increase our investments!"

One of the members hesitated at his instruction.

However, the rest were filled with fervor. "We will listen to you, Mr. Wray. We'll increase our investments together."

Kenton nodded. "Then let's continue to increase our investment in the other three stocks. The trend looks promising. We should see a major breakout by this Friday. We need to recover the losses from the land with gains from these stocks!"
