Bob’s anxious voice could be heard on the phone as he asked, “Hello? Darling, where are you?”

Mary couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his words.

“What’s the matter?” Mary asked coldly.

Bob checked his watch anxiously, worried that he might miss out on the opportunity and lose a considerable amount of money.

Without beating around the bush, he said, “I heard you want to sell your shares of Genesis Technology? It’s a significant amount of money, and I don’t think anyone can come up with it immediately. Why don’t you sell them to me instead? That way, you can rest assured.”

Bob spoke in such a hurry that even Dole frowned when he heard it. Wasn’t this daylight robbery?

The news of Genesis Technology’s soaring stocks had spread, and maybe it would even increase several times in the future. Bob was certainly well-informed.

However, Mary didn’t dwell on these issues. She had spotted Jerry earlier, which was why she had spoken those words in the elevator.

Originally, she had been thinking about how to trap Bob, but she didn’t expect Jerry to fall right into her lap. She wouldn’t waste this opportunity.

However, Mary didn’t want to let Bob have it so easily. Therefore, she refused, “I don’t want to sell for now. I just sold one-third, and I want to keep the rest.”

When Bob heard that Mary had already sold one-third, his heart raced. He didn’t expect so many people at the stock exchange to have their eyes on Mary. If he didn’t act fast, he might miss out on the opportunity to profit from the situation.

Bob’s voice was filled with sweet talk. “Mary, you don’t seem to fully understand the risks of the stock market. Although it looks profitable now, if you don’t fully comprehend these matters, you may end up losing money in the long run. Why not sell the shares to me now? That way, you’ll earn a good amount of money and won’t have to bear the risks later on.”

Mary didn’t say anything. She just snorted coldly.

With the belief that Mary was still angry about his visit to Julie, Bob altered his tone to a more soothing one and tried to persuade her, “I promised to take you away, and my money is yours too, isn’t it? Besides, I gave you 10 million yuan as capital. If you sell me the shares, you won’t lose anything, will you?”

Mary was so infuriated by Bob’s audacity that she felt like throwing the phone away.

Mary realized that she had been foolish to trust such a manipulative person in the past. Every word he said seemed to be in her best interest, but he never did anything to actually help her.

Bob continued to flatter Mary, and with only one hour left until the transaction time was up, Mary finally gave in and agreed to sell the shares to him.

“Are you still at the Exchange?” Bob asked excitedly. I’ll go over there right now! Wait for me, you must wait for me. ”

Before Mary could answer, he had already hung up.

Mary didn’t wait for him. She just handed the deal to Jason.

Mary didn’t want to see Bob, and if they met, he might cry poverty and then pester her. It was disgusting for her.

When the money was transferred to her account, Mary almost laughed out loud.

She hadn’t spent a penny, yet she could earn tens of millions. She felt like a natural winner. Feeling good, Mary wanted to go to the company to find Gwyn, but she saw Tracy there too.

Tracey changed out of her maid uniform and put on a white fitted spaghetti strap dress, along with a pearl necklace and brooch, looking like a wealthy lady. She carried a lunch box into the company.

When the receptionist saw that it was Tracey, she immediately put on a smile and asked, “Miss Tracey, did you come to see the CEO?”

Tracey had been here many times. Everyone knew that Tracey was a member of the Gwyn family, but they did not know who she was.

However, every time Tracey dressed up in expensive clothing, many people assumed that she was Gwyn’s girlfriend.

Tracey smiled and said, “Oh, I didn’t inform him that I would come. Please let him know that I brought some cookies for him to try.”

Gwyn received a call from the front desk. He thought that Mary was sending the cookies she had personally made, so she immediately asked Tracey to come upstairs.

Mary walked through the door and saw that Tracey had already gotten into the elevator. She wanted to follow Tracey, but she was stopped by the security guard.

“Miss, do you have an appointment?” The receptionist asked with a professional smile. Who are you looking for?”

Mary had never been to the company before and did not know the company’s rules. She only replied, “I’m here to find Gwyn.”

Unexpectedly, the receptionist put on a disdainful expression and sized her up. She said with some disdain, “I’m very sorry. You can’t enter without an appointment.”

Seeing that Mary was young and beautiful, the receptionist thought that she was another woman who was trying to seduce Gwyn and gave Mary a cold look.

Mary was displeased. “Why could she go in?”

Mary was referring to Tracey who had just entered.

The receptionist sneered and said, “How can you compare yourself to her?”

Mary, who had come to see Gwyn happily, was stimulated by the receptionist’s sarcasm.

Mary’s expression also changed. “What is Tracey’s identity?”
