?<strong>Chapter 1186:</strong>


    Howard shed a kind smile at Evie.


    “Come by whenever you have time. This ce is always open to you.”


    Howard then turned to Madisyn and Andrew.


    “Madisyn, Andrew, be careful on the road. Let us know when you get home.”


    “We will.”


    One day, Madisyn, unusually, didn’t head to the office.


    Instead, she rxed on a sun lounger on the rooftop terrace,ptop open, her fingers flying over the keyboard.


    Over in Ytrovia, at a renowned private research institution, a new investment simtion software had recently beenunched.


    The software, “NCI (No Capital Investment),” challenged participants to start with zero funds and umte capital over three months. The entire environment was designed to mimic real-world investing, and after the three months, rankings would be determined based on the wealth amassed.


    With the research institution’s prestigious global reputation, many industry leaders and influential figures had graduated from it. As a result, thepetition wasn’t just open to students but to top talents worldwide.


    Once the news was out, many people jumped at the opportunity.


    Madisyn, with her keen interest in investment and a track record of sess, found herself equally intrigued when she caught wind of it. Herptop screen was filled with application materials to review, which she uploaded one by one.


    As she waited for the review to finish, she gazed out at therge green space outside the vi, feeling a rare sense of peace and contentment. The review process was efficient. Soon, Madisyn entered the software interface, typed in her exclusive code, and set her nickname to “J.” With just a few days left before the registration deadline for “NCI,” she exited the interface and opened the new quarterly n for Homelight Enterprise that Jared had sent her. She flipped through the pages.


    Madisyn had invested her first batch of savings into Homelight Enterprise when she was still in school. Back then, she didn’t have the time to manage thepany, so she turned to Jared for help. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that, all these yearster, Homelight Enterprise would grow into the powerhouse it had be. Handlingpany matters kept her busy, and before long, the sun was beginning to set. The hum of a car engine outside the vi caught her attention.


    g?lnσν????s, the heart of storytelling


    She set herptop aside and walked to the railing, peering down.


    The sun hung low in the sky, casting its warm light over the vi. Her silhouette, joined with the shadow of the railing, danced gently across the ground.


    Andrew’s eyes flickered as he paused, ncing up at her. Their gazes met across the distance.


    “Hi, wee home!” Madisyn waved, her voice warm, her smile radiant. The effect was immediate: Andrew’s earlier aloofness melted away, his heart suddenly racing.


    The “NCI” project officially began three dayster.


    Madisyn received her starting capital of one thousand dors in a single day. She carefully used it, checking the market whenever she had free time between work matters.
