Chapter 1295 The Most Handsome in the World
Cassie just stood there, not saying a word.
Was she that easy to read?
"Nah, I just think you look super hot in that outfit," Cassie forced herself to say, trying to sound serious.
"For real?" Joseph grinned, a bit shy. "So you were just blown away by my good looks earlier?"
Cassie was annoyed that Joseph had figured her out. In just one day, he seemed a lot sharper.
"Not really, I've seen plenty of good-looking guys, so I wouldn't be stunned," Cassie said, trying to play it cool.
Joseph pouted, "Who? Who's better looking than me?"
"Mr. Nelson, Michael, they all look pretty good, just in different ways," Cassie said with a smile. "You gotta accept that you're not the only handsome guy out there."
Joseph wasn't having it.
He was the best-looking.
The best-looking in the world.
Joseph came out after changing, and Cassie handed him a phone. "This is the phone you used before."
Joseph unlocked it with his fingerprint and saw the wallpaper was a selfie of him and Cassie. Their faces were close together, smiling sweetly.
He was taken aback and felt kinda weird.
On the way to the Hernandez Group, Cassie was driving, and he was in the passenger seat, messing around with the phone.
He'd always wanted his own phone for games and cartoons before.
Now that he had one, he was super happy.
He seriously checked out the apps he had downloaded before. No games he liked, just some finance and investment apps.
He opened an investment app, and a stock interface popped up.
About stocks, the finance professor had explained them to him in detail yesterday. He studied the stocks for a bit, then opened "My Account," retrieved the password, and found there was quite a bit of money in it.
So he used to be loaded.
He thought the money came too easily, so he casually bought a few stocks.
More than twenty minutes later, the car stopped at a red light. Cassie glanced at him, "What are you doing?"
"Buying stocks."
"You have money to buy stocks?" Cassie thought for a moment and remembered that the Hernandez family hadn't given him any money yet.
"I have money on my phone," Joseph answered honestly.
Cassie's eyes twitched, feeling a bad premonition. "How much?"
"Seems like a few hundred million dollars."
"How much stock did you buy?" Cassie asked, trembling.
Joseph looked again, "I bought two hundred million dollars' worth of stock."
Cassie was speechless.
The light turned green, and Cassie was so stunned she forgot to drive. The car behind them honked.
"Cassie, the car behind is honking at you. You're blocking them," Joseph kindly reminded her.
Cassie hurriedly started the car and drove through the intersection. She immediately pulled over and got really mad.
"Joseph, how could you make me mad every single day?" Cassie shouted, completely losing it. "You actually spent two hundred million dollars on stocks. Are you nuts? Do you know how hard it is to earn money? Do you know you're not who you used to be? Do you think you're still the richest person in Madison?"
She was about to explode with anger.
As far as she knew, most of Joseph's money had been invested in the Hernandez Group's research projects.
Later, the Hernandez Group got taken over in a shady deal, and Joseph lost his spots as chairman and CEO. Now he was mooching off his parents, but still blowing cash like it was nothing.
If they couldn't get the Hernandez Group back, they might have to rely on this leftover money to start fresh, and he just threw it all into the stock market.
Joseph was floored by her yelling. He'd never seen Cassie this mad and was totally lost. "Two hundred million, is that a lot?"
"Of course, it's a lot! Some people can't make that much in a lifetime."
"Oh, but after I bought the stocks, they've been going up. Now the backend shows a profit of two hundred and fifty million dollars."
Joseph innocently raised his phone and showed her the screen.
Cassie was stunned again. She quickly grabbed his phone and was dumbfounded.
In just a blink, the two hundred and fifty million dollars had become two hundred and fifty-three million dollars.
She opened the stock that had risen the most and saw it was skyrocketing like a diagonal line and had hit the limit up.
She didn't know what to say.
"I think making money is easy," Joseph said, touching his nose.
Cassie sneered.
Easy?
For someone like her who always lost money, Joseph was just infuriating.
But buying one stock that hit the limit up was a coincidence. Buying five stocks that were all skyrocketing couldn't be a coincidence.
Cassie looked at Joseph with a complicated expression. She didn't know he was a financial whiz.
How much had Joseph been hiding from her?
She took a deep breath and said, "It's okay to play around occasionally, but I don't recommend putting a lot of money in. The stock market is risky. It might make money today, but it could lose tomorrow. As soon as the market opens tomorrow, sell them for me."
"Oh," Joseph pretended to nod obediently.
But he didn't really think so.
He believed that understanding finance was essential. By grasping the data and moving averages, he could make money.
But he couldn't tell Cassie that. He thought Cassie was pretty clueless in this area.
Cassie didn't know what he was thinking. If she did, she would probably be furious.
On the way, she took the opportunity to briefly explain the situation of the Hernandez Group to Joseph.
After listening, Joseph suddenly realized, "I used to be so stupid, not even able to manage such a big company. So useless."
Cassie didn't know how to respond.
When they arrived at the company, she found that the entire first floor had been redone with new decorations.
The receptionist and security guard at the entrance wouldn't let her in.
"Sorry, not just anyone can enter the Hernandez Group," the receptionist said arrogantly, "Unless you have an appointment with our chairman."
Cassie laughed in anger. She didn't expect that one day she and Joseph would be humiliated at the entrance of the Hernandez Group.
She was about to blow up when Joseph, standing behind her, saw Cassie being bullied and walked up seriously, "Who does your chairman think he is? My last name is Hernandez, and I'm a shareholder here. I can come and go as I please. You have no right to stand in our way."
Joseph was already tall, and he was a big deal in the Hernandez Group. Even outside, a lot of people recognized him.
