Chapter 131
Natalie certainly didn’t think so. Although Darren was terrible in their relationship, he was incredibly talented. His title as the stock whiz wasn’t just for show; it was built on making real money.
Just having 6 thousand dollars wasn’t enough. To really compete with him, you’d need about ten times that amount.
Her current problem was having too little capital. Even if she got a few more 9% returns, 6 grand wouldn’t amount to much. So, she had a bright idea and turned her eyes back to the big screen.
There’s still an hour left until four o’clock. She has to make sure she picks the right investment this time, go big, only win and no losing allowed!
The people in the livestream, seeing Natalie not making her next move, started discussing among themselves.
Everyone thought she was scared, making them even more convinced that her previous profit was a fluke. Trying to outdo Mr. Luther, who has legendary achievements in the stock market, with just luck? Maybe in another lifetime!
At this moment, Director Pierce of Sweet Love expertly switched the camera over to Darren.
After setting up his account, Darren didn’t hurry into stock trading.
He made a call, and shortly after, someone came to meet him. The person was wearing a smart suit, with impeccably styled hair, and a name badge hanging at the front. It was Hank, the general manager of BurgCity Stock Exchange.
Hank warmly approached and shook hands with Darren. “Mr. Luther, what brings you here today?”
“Just participating in a show,” Darren shrugged towards the nearby camera.
Hank chuckled, exchanged some pleasantries, and asked, “Mr. Luther, if there’s anything you need from me, feel free to let me know.”
Darren raised an eyebrow, showing approval. “Actually, I do need your assistance.”
“Of course,” Hank replied politely.
Darren spoke calmly. “I need to borrow some cash from you.
Hank’s legs almost buckled beneath him.
What? Darren asking him for money? This billionaire CEO was asking him for a loan? Even if Hank offered everything he owned, it wouldn’t amount to much at all,
Noticing Hank’s expression, Darren explained in a deep voice, ‘Lend you 166 thousand dollars, and I’ll return it shortly.” A mere 30 dollars was trivial. He’d never dealt with such a small sum.
Seeing that Darren wouldn’t reveal more, Hank, being a smart person, immediately agreed and quickly lent him the 166 thousand dollars
Hearing that this legendary figure was getting into the stock market, he immediately invited him to the office for a closer
look.
Darren lounged on the sofa like a graceful lion, with the computer in front of him showing endless streams of stock information.
Hank poured him a glass of water and grinned. “Mr. Luther, which one do you plan to buy?”

Darren frowned and gave hip a sideways glance. Hank immediately zipped his lips and slinked away to the side.
Darren withdrew his gaze and, after watching the screen for a moment, casually lifted his eyelids. “Advanced Excelsior Manufacturing.”
Advanced Excelsior Manufacturing specializes in brake systems, and recently, a competitor’s brakes failed, becoming a trending topic on Twitter.
He didn’t hesitate and, after deciding, invested all his money into it, using leverage ten times over!
Even so, his expression remained calm. Meanwhile, Natalie, sitting in the corner of the trading hall, also invested in Advanced Excelsior Manufacturing and even leveraged tenfold!
Stock market leverage means using a small amount of margin to amplify your principal for trading stocks. Your profits can multiply, but so do the fees and risks.
People online held their breath as they watched Darren’s move
[Mr. Luther is so cool… even the way he invests money is cool]
[What are you waiting for? Follow Mr. Luther! This is the perfect chance to make a lot of money!]
[Smart folks have already invested with Mr. Luther. Take a shot, and you could turn a small investment into a big payday!]
[Is that Mr. Luther? He’s a walking ATM! I’ve put all my savings into this. Please, Mr. Luther, lead me to fortune!]
But before she could finish her thought, she saw that Natalie had also bought shares in Advanced Excelsior Manufacturing at almost the same timel
Beyond a short moment of shock and awe, netizens were left guessing.
[Is Natalie picking stocks randomly again? How did her random pick match Mr. Luther’s?]
[It’s odd. What’s going on? Should I trust Mr. Luther or not?]
[I was pretty confident in Mr. Luther, but now that Natalie’s bought in too, I’m hesitating!
[I mean, is it possible that Natalie is a stock market expert? Could that be why she’s on the same wavelength as Mr. Luther?]
[I think the person above makes a good point. She actually knows how to use leverage! I’m betting she’s no novice!] Everyone was more puzzled. If Natalie was the only one investing, they’d think she was just taking a random shot! But with Darren investing too, the whole situation has changed.
From then on, netizens stopped making snarky comments in the chat and focused solely on Advanced Excelsior Manufacturing.
With a tenfold leverage, Natalie’s initial 2,000 dollars multiplied to 66 thousand dollars. So, the profits could multiply tenfold too!
In no time, Advanced Excelsior Manufacturing’s stock price soared from an initial increase of 3% to an astonishing 9.77%! -The entire process took just fifteen minutes!
Natalie decided to sell decisively at this moment, and Darren thought the same. They almost moved in sync on the screen.
It was
five minutes until four. Natalie stopped and stood up to find Darren
She had been so focused on trading stocks that she didn’t notice where he went.
Chapter 131
“Looking for me?” A man’s cold voice came from behind her.
Natalie turned around and saw him walking toward her.
He had taken off his coat and casually draped it over his arm. Wearing only a white shirt, he appeared even more striking. his eyes dark and his demeanor commanding.
He stopped less than a meter from her, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, looking at her with an almost–smile. “Did you go
broke
Darren was proud, especially in his field of expertise. It was hard for him not to be. So, even with just a slight glance, Natalie could sense his smugness and confidence.
She chuckled along and looked up. “Broke? Sorry. Two hours, 66 thousand dollars.”
Natalie casually flicked her hair, her brows raised confidently, and her tone was assertive. Tonight, I’m definitely sleeping in this bed.”
“We’ll see about that, Darren said with a teasing tone, as if he were playing with a kitten. “Here’s 1300 thousand dollars. Spend it however you like.”
1300 thousand dollars!
Natalie looked at him suspiciously, but when she checked his account, she was stunned. It really was 1300 thousand dollars! How could there be that much money!
Where did you get this from?” she asked suddenly
Darren raised an eyebrow “From trading
“No way.” Natalie was confident in her own abilities. She believed she was as good at trading stocks as he was, or even better
this “quick profit” investment method.
She had reviewed hundreds of stock data today and selected the top two. Even if Darren chose the same ones, their returns shouldn’t differ by this much, unless.
Noticing the slight smirk on his lips, Natalie guessed, “What was your initial investment?”
“100 thousand dollars,” Darren said, with a mischievous grin of triumph. “I borrowed 166 thousand dollars as capital. It’s a lot more exciting with larger stakes.
After he said that, he lowered his eyes to look at her, shaking his head repeatedly. “No way, right? Is there really someone who’d use such a massive amount, like 30 dollars, as their starting capital?”
