Chapter 468 Be Counted as an Honorable End
The Swift Group’s share prices took a sharp tumble?
Yvonne’s expression changed drastically. She snatched the phone from the girl’s hand. She looked down at the news. After a few seconds, when she looked up again, her face was as white as if she had been very sick.
Even if she didn’t understand the stock market, she knew what a slump in the prices of stocks meant.
Thinking about what Margot said to her before that if the Swift Group went bankrupt, their family would have to sleep on the streets, and she might not even be able to go to
college…
Yvonne’s face soon went as white as a sheet. Her hand trembled as she held the phone.
No. She wouldn’t accept this…
She didn’t want to live on the streets…
She didn’t want to be thought of as a wretch.
She had already left that poor mountainous area. Her current life was a life that many people envied. She didn’t want to go back to the old days. She didn’t want to be thrown back to what she used to be.
In a hall, an auction was going on.
“$7,000,000 once, $7,000,000 twice, any more callers?”
“Seven million dollars for the last time. Deal!”
The diamond necklace on the stage was carefully put away. Off the stage, there was a
heated debate.
“Who is the buyer? Isn’t the buyer too generous?”
“This buyer spent seven million dollars on this diamond necklace without a blink of an eye. Others would only call the price up by several hundred thousand, at most. But this buyer directly called the price up by about ten million. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone spend money like this on an auction.”
“He’s so rich. Do you think he bought it for collecting or as a gift?”
“This is a female necklace. It should be a gift for his lady.”
“Well, I wish I could know who this lucky woman is. Spending millions just to win a smile from a beauty.”
In a corner of the auction hall, a man with a noble temperament and handsome looks

raised his head at the moment the necklace was sold. He looked towards the auction stage with deep, cold eyes and quickly lowered his eyes. He continued to stare at his smartphone.
The man’s long and slender fingers clicked rapidly on the screen of the phone. A set of red numbers flashed on the phone’s pure black screen background. And after a while, a red wavy line appeared.
A few minutes later…
The man put away his phone and looked at the time. He got up and left before the auction
was over.
Just as he walked out of the auction hall, his phone rang.
After picking it up, from the other end of the line came a lazy, sexy voice, asking curiously, “Mr. Lambert, the Swift Group’s shares suddenly plummeted. Did you do that?”
Sheehan got into the elevator and pressed B1.
The elevator door closed. But the connection in the elevator was still good. He leaned his slender, upright body in one corner. With his straight legs folded, he answered in a light voice, “Well, I did it to teach them a little lesson.”
Yates on the other end, “.

After a few seconds, Yates‘ surprised voice rang out, “You did it yourself?”
Sheehan responded with a light “hmm“.
Yates, “Well, how could it bother you, the extinguished Mr. Lambert, to do it by yourself? No wonder the Swift Group’s stock price fell so quickly. I knew it. If you had asked someone to do it, the Swift Group share price would not fall like that so quickly.”
“Sure enough. When it is related to the girl you like, even the smallest thing will become a big deal to you, right? Mr. Lambert?”
Yates was impressed, “Be finished by you, a small group like Swift Group could be counted as an honorable end.”
