Alexander regarded him with a steady gaze. "Is Dad aware?" he asked.
"If you have not received a call, it's likely he remains uninformed. However, that will change shortly," cthe
reply.
Unfazed, Alexander nodded. "Understood. You may return to your duties."
Walter hesitated, a question lingering on his lips. "Alexander, do you believe Freya's proposal holds any merit?"
His query was a thinly veiled attempt to gauge Alexander's intentions, a futile endeavor. Despite his best efforts,
Walter found himself unable to decipher the true motives behind Alexander's impassive facade. Any rash action
taken without a full understanding of the situation could easily ensnare him in one of Alexander's carefully laid
traps.
A half-smile tugged at the corners of Alexander's mouth as he regarded Walter. "Walter, you're an intelligent
man. Shouldn't you be able to discern the usefulness of her suggestion?"
Walter fell into a silence.
Alexander's words held a weighty significance as he spoke again. "You're overly anxious, brother-in-law."
His anxiety was telling.
A small chuckle escaped Walter. "Indeed, | suppose I'm just rattled after creating such a commotion."
"Very well, I'll take my leave now."
Once Walter had departed, the smile on Alexander's face faded. He began to peruse a file that lay open on his
desk.
News of the stock market's sudden downturn spread like wildfire, dominating headlines and becoming the topic
of every conversation. Even Quinn's phone buzzed with a push notification alerting her to the situation. Upon
opening the alert, she was greeted by the plummeting stock chart of Land Enterprises. In just half a day, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcompany's shares had hit rock bottom.
Quinn was left perplexed, unable to comprehend what could have led to such a catastrophe for Land Enterprises.
Before her lunch break, a message from Alexander appeared on her screen, summoning her to the parking
garage. Not daring to ignore it, she quickly shut down her computer and made her way to the elevator.
Alexander was already waiting in his car, the headlights casting a soft glow in the dimly lit garage. Without a
moment's hesitation, she approached the vehicle and slid into the passenger seat.
Engrossed in a phone call, Alexander spared her a brief glance before continuing his conversation, skillfully
maneuvering the car out of its parking spot.
"We'll bide our tfor a few more days," he said into the phone.
Upon hearing this, Quinn couldn't help but turn to look at him.
Unfazed, Alexander continued his call, his attention never wavering from the conversation. "We'll wait until it
dips below the twenty-day moving average. That's when we'll swoop in and acquire the remaining shares." The
voice on the other end expressed concern. "Isn't that a bit risky? If the stocks continue to plummet, Walter might
catch on. We can't let him beat us to it."
Alexander responded with an air of nonchalance. "And wouldn't that be ideal? He can clean up the mess he's
made with his own money, which wouldn't be a bad outcfor us."
"Now that | control Freya's shares, even if Walter manages to corner all the floating stock, he won't pose a threat
to us."
A brief pause ensued, followed by laughter from the other end of the line. "You're always one step ahead,
Alexander."
