The Temptation of Stocks

In her previous life, he had deceived and betrayed her. In this life, she would ensure he tasted the bitterness of being deceived and betrayed until he was left with nothing. Anything less would be unfair, wouldn't it?

Since he loved stocks so much, she would play the stock game with him thoroughly.

With a gentle and sweet smile, Zuri said, "It's you! I'm sorry about last time. I was in a bad mood. I hope you don't mind."

Damian waved it off, "No worries, no worries. Everyone has bad days."

Changing the subject, Damian said excitedly, "The stock you bought last time, Palm Cloud, is amazing. It's had the best growth recently. How did you know? Any tips?"

He quickly added, "If it's inconvenient to say, no problem. I'm just curious."

Zuri smiled, "It's not inconvenient at all. Honestly, I saw it was at its lowest price that day and thought it couldn't possibly drop any lower. If it wouldn't drop, it must go up, so I bought it. It was that simple."

Damian was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe. If she was lying, her clear eyes certainly didn't show it.

"Was that your first time buying stocks?" Damian asked.

Zuri nodded and then said softly, "Actually, my intuition is quite accurate."

"Intuition?"

Damian believed in intuition. When he first entered the stock market, he made some money by relying on his instincts. Hearing that she also relied on her feelings made him feel a sense of camaraderie.

Excitedly, Damian explained, "Actually, it's not just intuition. It's a kind of keen insight. Legendary figures like Buffett and Nolan have strong insight and intuition, allowing them to sense things earlier than ordinary people. That's how they became legends."

"For ordinary people like us, some have it, some don't. It occasionally appears. It's a mysterious feeling that can't be fully explained."

Zuri nodded, pretending to understand, looking like a well-behaved student listening quietly. Her demeanor greatly satisfied Damian's love for lecturing, and he continued talking endlessly. Zuri listened attentively, her focused, receptive appearance making Damian more enthusiastic. His gaze softened, and his attitude naturally became friendlier.

"Zuri, I'm planning to invest in this stock. What do you think?" Damian asked.

Zuri pondered for a moment, carefully considering her words. "To be honest, Damian, I came here today to sell all the stocks I bought earlier."

"Why? This stock has good momentum and might continue to rise. Many experts on TV think so too," Damian frowned.

"My intuition tells me it's going to drop, so I came today to sell. It's just my personal feeling. Whether you buy or not is up to you. If you ask for my opinion, I don't recommend it."

Her honest and open attitude won Damian's favor, and his initial desire to buy the stock faded. Based on his experience, it should still rise for a bit before stopping.

Zuri stood up, "Damian, I have to go now."

"Okay, let's keep in touch."

"Sure," Zuri nodded.

As she turned away, her smile vanished.

After getting the money, Zuri transferred a million to Evan for emergency use and kept the remaining millions to earn more. During this time, she had to gain Damian's complete trust as quickly as possible.

With trust, she could proceed with the next steps to make him suffer deeply, to make his life a living hell.

That night, Zuri received a message from Owen saying that the film crew had left Oceanic City, and he was with them.

The next day, Zuri checked her phone at the exact time and received Damian's call.

As soon as she answered, Damian's excited voice came through, "Zuri, you're amazing! It really dropped and hit the lower limit. I would have lost thousands if I had invested yesterday. Thanks for the tip!"

"It was your own decision, Damian. I just made a suggestion. It's nothing."

"Regardless, you saved me from a loss this time. I owe you one. Do you have time today? I must treat you to a meal. What do you want to eat?"

"I want... barbecue."

"Alright, barbecue it is."

Oceanic City's famous street for food stalls came alive at night with crowds and the aroma of various foods. At a creative barbecue stall in the center, Damian and Zuri sat across from each other with plates of skewers between them.

"I never expected you to like the same food as I do. We must be fated," Damian exclaimed.

"Really?" Zuri feigned surprise.

"Of course," Damian confirmed. "The first time I saw you, I felt a connection and couldn't help but talk to you."

Zuri pretended to be flattered but laughed coldly inside. In her previous life, he had said the same thing, and she had believed him, considering him her most trusted and close brother.

But what did she get in return? Deep-seated hatred.

Trusting him again in this life would be utter stupidity.

"Zuri, do you have a feeling about which stock will rise next?" Damian asked, drinking a beer.

"Hmm," Zuri pondered, "I have a good feeling about TAO stock."

"Really?" Damian immediately noted it down.

"Are you planning to buy it? If it loses money, don't blame me," Zuri said playfully.

"Of course not."

They chatted and laughed, their conversation revolving around stocks. Suddenly, a voice filled with malice interrupted their harmonious atmosphere.

"Well, well, if it isn't Zuri, the heiress. Why are you here in such a shabby place? Shouldn't someone like you be dining in high-end restaurants? This doesn't suit your status."

Seven or eight thugs approached, surrounding Zuri's table. Seeing the situation, people at nearby tables quickly left.

Damian's expression turned tense, and he tried to act composed, but his legs were trembling. "What do you want? This place is crowded. If you do anything illegal, you won't get away with it."

The leader, Yu Jiaxi, placed a hand on Damian's shoulder, pressing him back into his seat with a slight force.
