Chapter 378 Crashed
The meals were still sent on time but without flowers.
Josie had a few consecutive meetings. She discussed with Wyatt and overseas leaders the
list of employees to lay off. The company’s articles of association were also amended,
which gave them more protection from the reverse takeover.
They thought the reverse takeover meeting went well, but no one expected that Wyatt’s
stocks would hit the limit down price the next day. Josie quickly sensed something unusual
after learning for the past few days. “Check if the overseas company dumped their
stocks.”
Her colleagues quickly confirmed her theory.
After pondering calmly, Josie guessed that Dexter didn’t know she had one billion as
assistance from Arnold. If Arnold didn’t tell Dexter about it… she had a loophole.
They were short-selling.

as many stocks as the overseas company dumps.”
The trader was hesitant to go up against them so forcefully. “Are you sure?”
She had no way out.
The overseas company and Wyatt kept selling and buying shares for the next few days.
The stock market was steady, and it also instilled confidence in most of the stock
investors. When the stock market closed this week, the overseas company had dumped
five billion in stocks. They shorted all of Wyatt’s outstanding shares. Although he was in
heavy debt, he had won the battle.
Wyatt’s team stared at the exact numbers and breathed a sigh of relief. Someone hit the
table, and the entire office was fired up.
Josie looked at the rising and falling numbers on the computer screen. They had salvaged
the situation. The worry she had in her heart disappeared.
Thankfully. Thankfully they didn’t know Josie had one billion from Arnold. She had
managed to defeat them…
But Wyatt sent over a stack of report forms and seemed to have much on his mind. “If the
stocks continue to fall when the market opens next week, we will lose everything.”
Josie looked up. “They don’t have any funds left, and the market is stable. How can it fall?”
Wyatt still felt uneasy, but he nodded. “I hope so.”
Josie sensed his worry. She had complicated feelings and joked, “You’ll treat us to a meal
next week if everything goes well, right, Mr. Wyatt?”
Someone in the office immediately exclaimed. “I second that!”
Wyatt smiled. “Of course.”
The stock market was calm the following week. Economists’ predictions failed, and the
overseas company was silent. They were under much suspicion.
Wyatt finally calmed down and told his team to choose a restaurant. Josie smiled. “I won’t
join you. I’m going to meet Arnold and personally thank him.”

Arnold also received the news and looked for her on his own accord. “Don’t celebrate yet.
Wait for it to stabilize
Josie didn’t care. Before she could refute it, she was suddenly interrupted by Wyatt’s call.
She said, “I’m going to take this. It’s from the company.”
When she answered the call, Wyatt’s tense voice was heard. “It’s over… The stocks
suddenly fell… We crashed.”
They were in a crisis now, and his voice trembled.
Josie suddenly froze and stood on the spot. Her eyes widened. “What did you say?”
The Russell Group building stood tall and mighty behind her, but it was as though the
building would. collapse at the next second.
It was a capitalistic dream.
Josie frantically rushed to the office and was met with Wyatt’s defeated gaze. “We really
crashed.”
It was as though Josie had been hit. She felt slightly dizzy. She was unprepared for such a
situation.
