The Swift Group's share prices took a sharp tumble?
Yvonne's expression changed drastically. She snatched the phone from the girl's hand. She looked down at the news. After a few seconds, when she looked up again, her face was as white as if she had been very sick.
Even if she didn't understand the stock market, she knew what a slump in the prices of stocks meant.
Thinking about what Margot said to her before that if the Swift Group went bankrupt, their family would have to sleep on the streets, and she might not even be able to go to college...
Yvonne's face soon went as white as a sheet. Her hand trembled as she held the phone.
No. She wouldn't accept this...
She didn't want to live on the streets...
She didn't want to be thought of as a wretch.
She had already left that poor mountainous area. Her current life was a life that many people envied. She didn't want to go back to the old days. She didn't want to be thrown back to what she used to be.
In a hall, an auction was going on.
"$7,000,000 once, $7,000,000 twice, any more callers?"
"Seven million dollars for the last time. Deal!"
The diamond necklace on the stage was carefully put away. Off the stage, there was a heated debate.
"Who is the buyer? Isn't the buyer too generous?"
"This buyer spent seven million dollars on this diamond necklace without a blink of an eye. Others would only call the price up by several hundred thousand, at most. But this buyer directly called the price up by about ten million. It's the first time I've seen someone spend money like this on an auction."
"He's so rich. Do you think he bought it for collecting or as a gift?"
