A Crazy One-night Stand -
Chapter 65: Wilson Scott Was Well-Built Part 2
After Wilson hung up, Alina looked up and asked in surprise, "Will the news of our marriage affect the stock price?"
"Well, do you have a brokerage account?" Wilson asked.
"Yes, I did. A few years ago, I opened it to complete my classmate's assignment."
"Can you log in?" Wilson asked again.
"Yes." She used the same password for everything. Of course, she could log in.
Wilson said with a smile, "You can use all your assets to buy Scott Group's shares now. Our stock price may blast through the limit more than five times."
He knew that Alina was a little headstrong. If he said that he would give her a sum of money to buy shares, she would definitely refuse. Therefore, Wilson simply told Alina about the opportunity and let her make her own decisions.
"What? Five times?" Alina was so shocked that her eyes opened wide.
"Yup!"
"Then, can I ask Rosie to buy in as well?" Alina looked hopefully at Wilson.
Wilson nodded. "Of course!"
Then, Wilson observed Alina as she happily made a phone call. Deep within his heart, he was touched by her actions. It seemed like she always thought of others first before herself.
Alina was talking on the phone with Rosie when she suddenly stood up from the chair in agitation. "What did you say? Damon Stone doesn't admit it? Isn't there a promissory note for the 300 thousand dollar loan? Rosie, you are so stupid! Didn't I ask you to write a promissory note? Don't cry, Rosie, don't cry..."
After Alina hung up, she looked apologetically at Wilson again.
"Are we going to pick her up now?" Wilson asked.
"Yes." Alina nodded.
"Let's go!" Wilson got up and put on his blazer that was lying across the back of his chair.
The car soon arrived at Rosie's location.
Inside the car, Alina saw Rosie sitting on the curb, her head buried between her knees. She looked like a homeless person.
As soon as the car came to a halt, Alina jumped out of the car and ran to Rosie.
Wilson's eyes were fixated on Alina's back. His gaze was soft as he saw her running towards Rosie. She had a kind and upright heart.
"Rosie!" Alina ran to her and bent down.
Rosie hugged her tightly and burst into tears.
Alina patted Rosie's back and comforted her silently.
Rosie sobbed tearfully. "To be honest, our relationship had soured in the past three months. He treated me much colder than before. I thought that perhaps I was too hasty when I urged him to get married. Alina, I really wanted to get married quickly! Men can wait for marriage, but women can't wait! He hasn't returned home for many days. I managed to contact him at first but he said that he was busy, later he stopped answering my calls. Lastly, he even switched off his phone.
"Look at this!" Rosie took out her phone and opened her text messages. She handed her phone to Alina.
Alina read the contents of the conversation and frowned.
The general message of the conversation was that Damon did not want to have anything to do with Rosie after their break-up. So, Rosie asked him to return the 300 thousand dollars that she had lent him, but he adamantly denied taking any money from her. There was no way he could return money that he did not borrow.
After reading more than a dozen text messages, Alina became angry. "I didn't expect Damon could be such a person."
"I was blinded by love." Rosie cried again as she spoke.
Alina immediately consoled her. "Don't cry. Rosie, let's think of a way to get the money back."
Rosie cried and shook her head. "What can we do? I didn't write a promissory note, nor do I have a record of the transaction."
Alina was furious. "From the looks of it, Damon had planned this a long time ago. What a jerk. He clearly knows that 300 thousand dollars is all you have, yet he ruthlessly stole everything from you. This can't do, let's go and replace him."
Rosie grabbed Alina's arm. "Alina, Damon has resigned from his job."
Alina was startled. "When did this happen?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
