Chapter 31
Although Cecilia only had a glance at the list, she remembered everyone’s names.
William, Juliana, Cole, Caleb, and Simon each placed a 200 thousand dollars bounty through the black market,
She only knew that the first two of them; the latter three were undoubtedly after Christopher.
After all, if he was dead, everyone could share the cake he had, “Mr. Christopher Forte, do you liave any evidence to prove that they hired a hitman to kill?”
Christopher shook his head. “No. Although there are
transaction records in the black market, they’re all
handwritten, and there are no witnesses. Those can’t be used as evidence.”
The reason the black market could engage in illegal
transactions was their caution and avoidance of leaving any
traces.
Cecilia pondered for a moment and suggested, “The
operational route should have been provided by William. We can start with him and get him to expose everyone!”
Even if this couldn’t land the five of them in jail, causing discord among them would serve the purpose.
“Okay. I’ll let you know when I have the information.”
“Thank you, Mr. Christopher Forte. Can I trouble you with one more thing?”
“Say it.”
“I want to meet the captain’s family.”
Although Cecilia suspected that the events three years ago
involved internal betrayal, she didn’t want the captain’s family

to suffer. Most of the money she earned had been distributed to five families by Evan under the guise of condolence
payments.
It was her way of compensating them for their help during that life-and-death situation.
Christopher hesitated for a while before he refused. “Let’s wait until we find the mastermind behind all of this.”
“All right.”
It was already 4 a.m. when she returned to her condominium.
She collapsed onto her bed and slept straight through until the afternoon of the next day, awakened by hunger.
The first thing Cecilia did upon waking up was to check the
news.
There was no news about Christopher being hunted down, but the news about the revelation of the black market had made quite a stir.
There was also a piece of explosive news about Yancey Corporation.
Yates Corporation had canceled all its collaborations with Yancey Corporation, paid the penalty as agreed, and swiftly signed contracts with other companies.
While Yancey Corporation received substantial compensation, they lost their business territory and long-term profit. opportunities.
As soon as the news broke, their stock price plummeted, and their market value decreased by more than 200 million dollars.
Cecilia didn’t need to make a guess and knew it was Christopher’s doing.

Yates Corporation was a partner of Yancey Corporation, and they were in a mutually beneficial relationship. There was no reason for them to incur such a hefty penalty and engage in such strenuous and unrewarding actions.
Thinking of that, Cecilia made a decision.
After the stock market opened tomorrow, she would buy Yancey Corporation’s shares!
Instead of destroying Yancey Corporation, it would be better to control it.
Since Juliana wanted to be a pampered second-generation heiress with all the luxuries, Cecilia would make her ascend to the esteemed status of a self-made first-generation affluent individual.
Imagination held a world of beauty, but as she looked at her bank account balance, her spirits deflated.
Cecilia was capable of making money, but she had no habit of saving and had numerous expenses. Her account now held only hundreds of thousands of dollars.
With this meager amount, she couldn’t even purchase a thousandth of Yancey Corporation’s shares.
“It seems I’ll have to sell the countryside herb plantation.”
The Yancey family dislikes that she is involved with the countryside. Therefore, she had rarely visited in the past three years and had hired someone to manage the herb plantation.
Many herbs died, but the price of those that survived had increased at least a hundred times.
Together with her personally formulated planting soil and the 1.65 acres of land, the total value of the plantation was at least 1 billion dollars.
After making the decision, Cecilia picked up her phone from the bedside table and prepared to post the news of the sale online.

Cecilia recalled that Forte Group had interests in the pharmaceutical industry, so they might be interested in the herb plantation. She immediately dialed Christopher’s number.
At that moment, Christopher was in Forte Group’s conference room, facing a barrage of questions from shareholders.
Because of the termination of Forte Group’s collaboration with Yancey Corporation, they had paid a hefty penalty.
This hurt the shareholders’ interests, so they have come to demand answers from Christopher.
“Mr. Forte, even though you hold 51% of the shares and have absolute control, the company doesn’t belong to you alone. If you continue to be stubborn like this, we’ll withdraw our investments!”
