?Chapter 1446 Filled With Regrets


    "I need to have a word with him tomorrow. Let Mr. Wray''s secretary know we''re withdrawing our financial support," Dous instructed.


    "I''m afraid it''s toote to change that, Mr. Dous," the assistant, Ellison Grimes, replied.

    Dous was momentarily stunned before cursing loudly in frustration. There was no turning back now that the money had been transferred.


    "Don''t worry, Boss. Everything''s under control. We''ve got the best trader working behind the scenes. If any problem arises, we can deal with them immediately," Ellison hurriedly reassured him.


    Unfortunately, that was their only option.


    Although the financial magnates were initially pleased with their scheme in the Cascadian stock market, they were left anxious by Kenton''s failure. They decided to end their coboration with Kenton once they secured their profits.
