FULL NOVELXO Chapter 107
Chapter 107
Alexandra said sadly, “I’m envious of the two of you! Be it Emery’s brother or Yvonne’s brother, you have brothers and I don’t. Why don’t I have a brother who dotes on me?”
Yvonne and Emery looked at each other, speechless.
Yvonne said, “My brother is your brother.”
Emery also said. “My brother is also your brother.”
However, Alexandra was still a little depressed.
Sigh!
She didn’t even have parents, let alone a brother!
“Angel, yeah right! I’m just a pathetic nobody.” Alexandra thought.
As for lunch, Alexandra did not dare to eat outside. She had sneaked out of her house after all.
Therefore, before Josephine returned to the villa, Alexandra naturally slipped away.
Before they went back, the three of them had agreed to go out for a meal before school started during the holidays!
Alexandra even said that she wanted to treat them to a feast!
When Alexandra returned home, Josephine had yet to return.
Bored, she turned on the television and ate snacks.
The financial news was playing on the television. Alexandra wanted to watch another drama, but a few words on the financial news caught her
attention.
The Helinia Company had suffered a large sell–off from major shareholders since yesterday, and the other shareholders followed suit.
In the past few days since the Heliria Company went public, its share price had skyrocketed to 20 dollars per share. Just today, when the market closed. in the morning, its share price had already fallen past the issue price!
Moreover, because the shareholders were all in danger and did not dare to continue sitting around and watch, they all followed suit and sold the Heliria Company’s shares at a loss.
They were afraid that they would lose everything!
On TV, a financial expert was analyzing why so many investors were so optimistic about the new shares of Heliria Company, yet the share price almost flatlined in just a few days.
Alexandra was dumbfounded when she saw the news.
A few days ago, she knew that Julian had also invested in Connolly’s shares. She wondered if that meant that Julian had lost all his money.
Alexandra was very worried. She quickly dug out her phone and sent a message to Marco, “Marco, I saw the news that the Heliria Company’s shares had plummeted. Did Mr. Ranford lose money too?”
Marco, who was drinking coffee in his assistant’s office, immediately put down his coffee cup when he saw Alexandra’s message.
“Tsk, tsk tsk!” He clicked his tongue.
“As expected of the Mrs. Ranford, she is starting to care if the CEO is losing his money!
“Heh, losing his money, eh?” Marco felt a little dizzy thinking about it.
He wondered if he should go and change his name with Frank one day.
Marco replied, “Ma’am, don’t worry. The CEO didn’t lose money. He even doubled his earnings!”
“Really? That’s great.” Alexandra was relieved to hear that Julian did not lose money by investing in the Connolly Group.
However, Matco, this super assistant, wouldn’t be willing to stop at that.
Marco added, “Ma’am, I’ll tell you the truth! You can’t betray me and say that I said it! The whole thing about the boss buying the Connolly family’s shares was a fluke right from the beginning!”
“A fluke?” Alexandra did not understand.
Marco continued, “In the past few years, no matter what industries Ranford Group invested in, other investors would flock to them like they cost nothing. The CEO knew that Martha always bullied you, so he worked with Mr. Walters to buy the Connolly family’s shares and raised the prices of the Connolly family’s shares to the sky When the share price soared to a certain height, he directly liquidated the stock and sold all of them. Other investors saw the Connolly family’s share price plummet and followed the trend to sell it, causing the shares‘ prices to fall below the issuance price. reckon it will soon become the company with the shortest listing period.”
Alexandra was dumbfounded, feeling surreal.
Chapter 107
Julian bought the Connolly family’s shares right at the beginning just to mess with the Connolly family?” She wondered.
“Was it for me?
“How was that possible?” She kept wondering
Alexandra refused to believe it.
She remained silent.
Marco’s message came in again. “Ma’am, the president is really concerned about you! Actually, before the president went to Sheffield, he had already planned to deal with the Connolly family! It’s just that you didn’t know anything about it!”
The more Alexandra listened, the more she felt that Marco was lying
However, she vaguely hoped that what Marco said was true.
“But why did Julian care so much about me? “Why would he use his investments to play in the stock market for a silly girl like me? She wondered.
Alexandra said to Marco, “It’s good that Mr. Ranford didn’t lose money. I’m relieved.”
Marco immediately sent a message. “Mr. Ranford can’t do without Marco! Ma’am! If you continue to say this, I’ll be heartbroken!!!”
Alexandra sent a “hahaha” emoji and logged out of her chat with Marco.
“He cares about me?
“When he doesn’t even bother calling me?
“Hmph!” She thought.
On the other hand, Marco had just finished chatting with Alexandra when Julian called.
Marco muttered, “I swear that you husband and wife are really linked by telepathy!”
After answering the call, Marco said respectfully, “Sir, what can I do for you?”
Julian said, “Get me the best–looking, most expensive, and latest model of a lady’s phone.”
Marco asked despicably, “Oh, well then, sir! Who should I give this best–looking, most expensive, and latest model of a lady’s phone to?”
Julian said, “Give it to me before work ends.”
“Alright, sir! I’ll go buy it now! Oh right, sir, ma’am just sent me a message just now. She asked me if the Heliria Company’s shares had plummeted and if you lost money. She is so concerned about our company!”
“Yes, she’s probably worried that no one will pay her after the Ranford Group loses money.”
With that, Julian hung up.
Marco immediately sent a message to Frank. “Hey! The CEO wants me to buy best–looking, most expensive, and latest model of a lady’s phone!”
“Where are we going to get one?”
“Jolie.”
“Wait for me. I’ll go too.”
“What are you going to do there?”
“Buy me the best–looking, most expensive, and latest model of a men’s phone.”
At around 5:30 in the evening, Julian returned to Tropical Lagoon Residences with the best–looking, most expensive, and latest model of a lady’s phone, well–packaged.
When they got home, Alexandra and Josephine were playing with their phones on the couch.
“Grandma, what are you playing?”
Josephine looked up with a smile. “Alex sent me so many animated emojis. How interesting!”
Alexandra sent Josephine a bunch of saved emojis. Many of them were cute, and Josephine couldn’t stop smiling.
Alexandra turned around and said to Julian, “I’m teaching grandma how to save her emojis.”
Julian grunted.
He thought that even her grandmother had Alexandra’s WhatsApp contact.
And he was the only one who didn’t.
“Good.
“Great.
Chapter 107
Fantastic.” He thought.
Julian smiled, but his heart was hardly moved.
Then, he silently went to the study.
Next, he went downstairs to eat dinner with Josephine and Alexandra.
During dinner, Alexandra kept chatting with Josephine about Marco and Frank, as well as the two toy poodles she saw in the other villa when she went for a walk this afternoon.
Julian saw that the two of them were closer than he and his grandmother, and a familiar warmth welled up in his heart.
When they were about to finish eating, Josephine suddenly said to Julian, “Julian, let’s go back to the old place in two days!”
When Alexandra heard this, her eyes immediately lit up!
“That’s great!” She thought.
Therefore, Alexandra looked at Julian with hope.
