With Genesis Technology’s rapid ascent, Bob’s spirits lifted considerably. He even treated Julie with more kindness and tenderness.

Bob hugged Julie lovingly and said, “My dear, in just two weeks, I will earn tens of millions again. If we purchase more stocks, earning over 100 million yuan won’t be a difficult feat.”

Despite this, Julie had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. Mary didn’t value money due to Gwyn’s lavish affections. In fact, Mary was usually even more generous to her than Bob was.

Given this, Julie was taken aback when she learned that Mary was dabbling in stock speculation. She couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you find it strange? How does Mary know all of this?”

“She was just lucky. There’s nothing to worry about.” Bob didn’t feel anything unusual.

Seeing how happy Bob was, Julie didn’t want to ruin the moment and simply lay quietly in his embrace. However, she couldn’t shake off her suspicions.

Julie knew that Mary was not the type to invest in stocks, let alone speculate in them. Could it be that there was someone guiding her behind the scenes?

Unlike Bob, who was carefree about money, Julie was more cautious and had always kept her background hidden from others.

Julie had always tried to hide her humble background. Although most people believed she came from a middle-class family, she was actually from a rural background. Ever since she discovered that Mary was the eldest daughter of the wealthy Jones family, she tried to ingratiate herself with Mary, which eventually led her to enter high society.

However, even though Bob loved her, he was not the real heir of the Wilson family, so he couldn’t give her much financial support.

When she thought that Mary might have a way to make money, Julie had an idea.

Early the next morning, Julie asked Mary out. She was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Mary wanted to laugh when she saw Julie wearing a thick foundation. The marks from Bob’s slap had not disappeared yet, and Julie had a new injury on her face.

Although Julie tried her best to cover up the wounds, some of the new injuries were still very obvious.

If possible, Julie did not want to see Mary, but there were some things she had to ask.

“Honey, did you like the cookies from last time? I’ve prepared this new one with your favorite strawberry jam. Do you want to try it?”

Julie smiled and pushed the biscuit in front of Mary. Mary didn’t even look at it and just said calmly, “Are your injuries healed? You can come out so quickly?”

Julie was a little resentful. Mary really didn’t know how to read the situation, but Julie didn’t dare to show her resentment.

“Thank you for visiting me last time,” Julie said with a smile. “I’m fine now, so I came to see you. ”

Mary didn’t answer her. Since Julie had a favor to ask of her, she probably couldn’t pretend for long.

As expected, Julie noticed Mary’s silence. Usually, she would have left by now, but today was different.

“Honey, I heard that you sold your shares to Bob. He made a fortune and wants to thank you. You’ve never dealt with stocks before, why did you invest ten million this time?” Julie asked cautiously. “I also heard that you earned a lot. Is there any insider information?”

Upon hearing Julie’s words, Mary understood why Julie had come.

No wonder Julie came to look for her after recovering from her injuries. It was because of this matter.

Mary had originally planned to use Julie, so she said, “I don’t know what’s going on either, I just heard Gwyn say something. I didn’t expect it to really increase by so much. Maybe it’s just pure luck.”

“Gwyn? What did Gwyn say? Did he say that other stocks will also rise?” At this moment, Julie was convinced.

If it was Mary who bought the stocks, luck would play a big role, but it was different if Gwyn was the head of the Miller family at a young age, and his sharp mind made it easy for him to stay on top of the stock markets inside story.

Mary took a moment to think before speaking, “Genesis Technology was easy to remember, so I invested in it. There was also Mingshang Technology, but I can’t recall the exact name.”

Then, with genuine concern, Mary asked Julie, “Are you interested in buying stocks? Ten million? Twenty million? I can help you inquire. But Gwyn seems to be busy preparing for a land auction. I don’t know if he has the time to invest in the stock market.”

Julie felt embarrassed when she heard ‘ten million’. Her available funds were limited, and the pocket money that Bob gave her was spent on buying bags and jewelry. It wasn’t easy to pretend to be a socialite.

However, when Mary mentioned the land auction, Julie’s eyes lit up.
