Chapter 172

Gideon stayed calm as he explained, "We don't have to wait until the very end to sell at the peak profit; this is just the quickest way to grow our money in the shortest time"

Yvette was left speechless. She realized her understanding of business was pretty shallow.

She especially wanted to make sure she wouldn't be dragged down if Lago's company ran into trouble. Lago reassured her, "Don't worry! I've made mistakes before; this time, I'll be super
