Ace Corporation itself was just a tiny corporation that was worth almost a billion dollars. Yet, the Huxleys were willing to use dozens of billions worth of assets to go against them.
Since the Huxleys wanted to destroy the Ace Corporation, the Steeles would try and make Ace Corporation survive.
In the next two days, both families invested plenty of money in the Ace Corporation's industries to go against each other in the stock market.
Each family invested a few hundred million dollars’
However, when the market closed on Friday, the stock price of Ace Corporation remained firm in its place!
On the same day, Cayden received a call from his grandfather, Arthur Huxley.
"Grandpa..."
When Cayden picked up the call, he didn't dare to speak loudly at all. So far, he had already spent close to a billion dollars of his family's assets to go against Jordan.
Arthur rebuked on the other end of the line, "Come back to New York! Stop contending with Jordan Steele! The Ace Corporation is worth just a few hundred million but you've already spent close to a billion dollars trying to make it close down! You're such a fool!"
"Grandpa, I..." Cayden really wanted to explain.
Arthur said firmly, "You don't have to go on! As soon as the market opens on Monday, close all your trades and let go of all the stocks you have! I said I do not want to go against the Steeles for the time being!"
Cayden hung up the phone and gritted his teeth.
"Ah!"
Cayden smashed his iPhone against the ground in exasperation and yelled, "Why is Jordan Steele's grandfather willing to support him endlessly with unlimited money, but my grandfather isn't?!"
The Huxleys aren't afraid of them at all!'
Cayden felt that if he closed his positions as soon as the market opened on Monday, all his losses would be finalized. He will never be able to recoup them.
He felt that it would make his efforts go in vain.
However, he couldn't disobey his grandfather.
"I've lost!"
Cayden knelt on the ground in chagrin, his hair completely unkempt. At this moment, he looked just like a lunatic and nothing like a scion of a wealthy and prestigious family.
A moment later, Cayden suddenly lifted his head with a menacing gaze in his eyes.
"Jordan Steele, you've insulted my aunt, but I didn't get to snatch your wife away from you. However, Tyler Collins has once insulted you!"
"Hah, I believe you're still foolishly thinking that Tyler and your wife didn't sleep with each other that day, huh?"
Cayden picked up his cell phone from the ground and found a 1GB audio file saved in a private file folder on his phone.
With a wicked smile on his face, Cayden continued, "Okay, I never cared to do such a despicable thing at first, but since I can't defeat you, I can't let you live well either! I'll let you enjoy the pleasant sounds of your wife moaning!"
At four o'clock in the following morning.
Jordan slowly opened his eyes as he felt an urge to use the washroom.
He habitually took a glance at his cell phone before getting out of bed, only to see that he had received an email from an anonymous sender.
Jordan was bewildered when he saw the title.
"Hailey Camden's melodious singing!"
Jordan was baffled, but he knew that his wife, Hailey, was a good singer. After all, she had specially learned music before.
Jordan turned to his side to glance at Hailey, who was sound asleep, and wondered to himself, 'Did Hailey send this to me?'
Afraid to wake Hailey up, Jordan decided to put on his earphones to listen to the audio file.
Forty minutes later.
Jordan's face was flushed, and he was clenching his fists tightly with his eyes full of menace as he felt a strong urge to kill someone!
The audio file wasn't a recording of Hailey's singing at all, but the evidence of her sleeping with Tyler!
