Fabian's trusted aide walked out without much of a word.
By this time, Lyna had already brought Yvette to her secret workplace.
The moment after they arrived, Yvette could not help but gasp at the sight. So this is what Lyna has been building all this while secretly. There were all sorts of delicate devices monitoring Fabian's people, of which most of them Yvette had never seen before. Whereas on the other hand, George and his team were busy spying on Phoenix Group.
Before Yvette could finish observing the place, Lyna led her into a deserted room. Lyna opened her mouth right after they sat down. "Now, those people you saw out there are hired by me to deal with Fabian. A majority of Phoenix Group is
already working for us. But there is still a group of stubborn people, which we are now monitoring for twenty-four hours. If any of them dare to expose our secret, we will act on them immediately."
Lyna paused for a while to give Yvette some time to digest the information. "I have also specially hired a finance genius from A Nation to deal with Fabian. This guy has looked into all Phoenix Group's resources, and he is confident that he can get control over all Fabian's current assets within two days."
After hearing all these, Yvette let out a long sigh and asked, "Well, is there anything I could help with?"
Even though Yvette was not as much a genius as Lyna was, she thought her intelligence might still be able to provide some assistance.
Lyna tried so hard to find a way to rescue me, so there must be something she needs from me. Although Yvette felt a little unpleasant being used, she knew she could not ask for more. After all, if it was not for Lyna, Yvette would still be in prison.
"Haha, since you already knew I rescued you for a purpose, I will be honest with you. Indeed, I cannot accomplish this without you. There is something that only you can help."
Lyna gazed sincerely at Yvette and expressed her wish. "George is planning to manipulate Phoenix Group's stock market, but we're going to need some money. Around five hundred million."
Five hundred million? Is she kidding me? It would be my entire net worth. Is she really expecting me to give everything to her just like that? What if something happens to me along the way? Who is going to help me then?
Looking at Yvette's astonished face, Lyna let out a chuckle. "Of course, I don't mean to ask you to provide the five hundred million all by yourself. But as you can see, I have spent a huge amount on the devices and the team. So right now, I am only left with two hundred million. I need your help with the remaining three hundred."
Yvette raised a brow at her demand. Three hundred million is also a big number. It's not that I don't want to help, but will it really be worth it? If this amount of money can defeat Fabian and make me the savior of the Norton family, I am willing to do it. Because then Fabian will be forever in debt to me. But what are the chances?
"Lyna, how much confidence do you have in this?" Yvette had to know for sure the risk she was about to take.
"There is an eighty percent chance of success." Lyna gave her an estimation and started to elaborate, "Wayne, the general manager of Phoenix Group, has already given in. With him at our side, a lot of upper management will be taking the same stand. Besides, we have our people in nearly all the industries of Phoenix Group. Therefore, technically it will not be difficult to defeat Fabian. The key lies in the stock market. George has figured out that Phoenix Group possesses around five billion worth of current assets. He said that with five hundred million, he would be able to control all the current assets. So right now, you play a crucial part in this."
Carefully analyzing the whole strategy, Yvette asked with doubt, "Can we trust George in this? Is he really capable of achieving what he said with five hundred million?"
Lyna's lips curled into a smile. "You'll be putting in three hundred million, that is, if you agreed to. But for me - I'm going all in, including putting my own life on the line. If I have the slightest doubt, do you think I will tell you this? Besides, since William and Wayion have been exposed, I believe Fabian will take his next move soon. If he does, I'm afraid the whole situation will turn against us, and we will be sitting ducks by then."
