Chapter 642
After Detective Karl finished talking, he left.
Stella stood at her spot with a deep frown.
'It's true Keegan was the one who saved me from the car accident back then. However, I had never thought about why Keegan
was at the scene. After the cars in the accident flipped over, both cars caught fire. All the cars along the road remained far away
because they feared they would get affected. Besides that, Keegan has an indifferent attitude toward strangers, so it really is odd
for him to have saved me. I initially thought the car accident was a one-sided murder. However, it now appears that there is too
much room for doubt. Just as Detective Karl said, the most direct method is to sow discord between them. If they had planned
the murder together, sowing discord between the two would break their alliance. Then, I won't have to worry about finding out the
truth,' thought Stella.
At this thought, she took out her phone and called a number.
Meanwhile, Albert had been in awful luck this month.
Semiconductor Technology's stocks had been increasing for a week, and various verified accounts practically touted them. Albert
watched their stocks for a week and could no longer resist, so he invested another 20 million. On the following day, after their
stocks increased again, his confidence level skyrocketed. He then bought several million.
However, their stocks began to drop in the second week. At first, the drop was not much. It was only three to five points and was
still acceptable.
Albert had even thought it was a chance for a margin call. After all, he was still making money.
And so, he added quite a sum of funds. However, it limit-down the following day.
Albert was a holder of the original stocks. While the stocks had a limitdown, he still made money from his total capital, so he
added more funds again.
The stocks dropped, and Albert added more funds.
The stocks dropped again, and Albert added more funds once again.
The process kept on repeating.
By the time Albert had spent all of his chips, the stocks still had not increased.
If it increased by two or three points, it would definitely limit-down after a day or two.
There was no pattern to it at all. In just two weeks, the stocks had fallen below its issue price.
Aside from losing the money he had earned from Stella, he additionally lost over ten million dollars.
Rookie stock brokers like Albert thought the more a stock dropped, the more it would rebound. However, not only did they not
rebound, all of them got tied up.
If Albert were smarter, he knew he would have been safe if he sold off his stocks at a loss at this time. However, Albert was
stupid and greedy.
"Keegan wouldn't stand by idly and let the stocks of a big company like Semiconductor Technology continue dropping. Besides,
the verified accounts on Facebook unanimously have optimistic views, so selling off my stocks at a loss at this time means I'm
quitting. I'm not quitting. Ever since Stella and Keegan got divorced, business at the company has gotten significantly more
difficult," thought Albert.
Albert was counting on the stocks to help him make a fortune, so he would not sell them off no matter what others said.
However, the stocks kept on dropping. They would drop by hundreds of thousands daily, so he felt really upset.
At three o'clock, the stock market closed.
The stock was green again.
Albert did not look happy.
Just as he exited the study, he saw Hylda and Sophia return from shopping. They had brought home a bunch of luxury goods
and were trying them on in the living room.
When Hylda saw him, she said happily, "Albert, I bought you a tie. Come over, and I'll help you try it on."
Albert walked over with a frown.
While Hylda was taking out the tie, its price tag fell out.
Albert glanced at it and immediately looked displeased. "13 thousand? For a piece of rag like this?" "Branded things are all
around this price. Look at its quality! It's much better than the previous one, which cost one or two thousand. Touch it and see."
’Touch what?’ Albert had an icy expression and threw the tie into the box.
He continued, "Quickly return it!"
Hylda's expression turned icy.
