My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1774

With Mullen on the lookout, Hendrix became particularly indulgent for the next few days. He stayed in the Reid Manor almost every night, and only left when dawn arrived.

This week, a virtual currency called Bate Coin stirred up a frenzy within the country. Several prestigious families in Jarold City were involved, but the risk for investment was far higher than the norm, so it did not manage to obtain the support of official authorities.

However, the news kept buzzing with speculation.

"The Drake Real Estate now accepts payment through Bate Coin..."

"The first Bate Coin transaction at a car dealership was a success..."

Charles was furious. Every day, he would gather the whole family in front of the television to watch the ongoing news.

"This man, Freud Harris... All he does is bark nonsense! What are the TV station staff doing, allowing such a man to brainwash the people of the country through their screens?" he bellowed.

It had not even been two minutes, and Charles was so furious that his face turned livid. He wished he could storm into the television screen and beat up the stock analyst who was paving the way for Bate Coin.

"You don't have to be so angry," Aaron persuaded. "In this era where the internet is paramount, no one uses the television anymore. He won't be able to do much."

"I don't think so," Emma retorted while rolling her eyes at him gloomily. As she watched the pair singing onscreen, she analyzed the situation. "You don't play with stocks, so of course you don't know the truth in it. Freud's existence," she continued, "is like a god to the shareholders, and every one of them acknowledges him as Master Freud. All the stocks he name-dropped are highly sought-after. Now that he claims that Bate Coin is profitable, I'm afraid there will be no trading for it in the stock market in the future."

"What does the rise or fall of Bate Coin have to do with his insignificant status as a stock analyst? Doesn't he know that Uncle Charles' men have been eyeing it?" Aaron asked while narrowing his eyes in distrust, obviously having doubts in Emma's words.
