The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

After thinking it through, it was just money he lost. Seungri didn't care about losing a few million. His position should be strong in the Harmon industries. So he was ready to lose more money.

Jisoo congratulated giving a reality check, "Congratulations for keeping the price balanced, President Harmon." Then he turned to Ruby Jane, "Salutes to Little Heart for earning so much profit."

Ruby Jane smiled at his dramatic reveal of the plan, "Thank you, Prince."

Jisoo ended his lecture by adding, "Since the market manipulators gained profits, Little Heart will be paying only the deal price without filling any losses."

Seungri sneered right after Jisoo, looking at the smile of Ruby Jane, "Did you plan all these for some petty money? I would have thrown some on you if you had asked me."

How will he accept his stupidity? His pride would hurt again..

"Oops," Ruby Jane exclaimed, turning to Seungri. "President Harmon, don't make it sound like you did a favor on me. Stop living in a delusional world." She sniggered.

She had done an investment. She earned profit. She never asked Seungri to buy the shares. Instead, she was ready to settle with lower profits. That's what Twyla does. It was Seungri's stupidity to buy the shares and pure foolishness for a businessman.

"President Harmon, I think you missed something. Jisoo clearly stated at the beginning. Let me repeat it for you again. This wasn't an attack." Then she turned to Mino.

Mino worked on the tab and changed the screen on the smart television. It was the latest news being read by the B-news newsreader.

"Breaking news!!! The chemical manufacturing plant that Harmon Industries acquired today has the future of closing down. Could President Harmon save it? Or will he run it against the rules?" The crystal clear voice of the lady sounded in the meeting room.

When the B-news managing director did a favor to Ruby Jane and Lisa, she had promised to send them the exciting piece of news on Friday afternoon.

She sent details to the news channel before they started to sell the shares. By the time B-news prepared the breaking news headlines, Ruby Jane was safe from losing any more money.

Seungri's fear of the unknown came true. He stared at the screen to try to know more about the situation. Money was never her game. He understood the meaning of what they meant by saying 'real attack.'

Mino purposefully turned off the news so that Seungri could panic and run back to Harmon Industries to handle the mess. "Run Seungri, Run... Catch President Cornbell before he leaves the country. Run..."

Seungri gritted his teeth. He glared at Ruby Jane and tried to intimidate her, "You will pay for this." He said through his teeth. Then he ran out of the meeting room.

He fished his mobile, dialed Dylan to ask him to keep President Cornbell in the country. If it was a mistake from Cornbell, Seungri could save his position.  "Pick up... Dammit, answer the call..." He entered the elevator and pressed the ground floor button repeatedly.

.....

Ruby Jane, Jisoo, and Mino looked at each other and chuckled. They couldn't believe Seungri assumed the market crash was a fall. Well, it would have been a great fall if Seungri hadn't balanced it.

"What about President Cornbell?" Jisoo asked the next steps of Ruby Jane.

Ruby Jane checked the time on her wristwatch, "He will leave the country in fifteen minutes. Tick... tock... tick..."

Mino chuckled seeing her tilt her head left to right uttering, 'tick, tock.' "Devil Dum Dum..." He couldn't believe she had everything under control to bury Seungri underground. He also discerned why she was patient this week. She was waiting for everything to fall into place and trap Seungri like a mouse.
