Chapter 1120
Chapter 1120:
By the afternoon closing bell, copper prices finally showed a tiny decrease—nothing significant, but enough to give Babette a sliver of hope. She exhaled shakily, feeling like she could breathe properly for the first time in days.
“Thank God, it’s finally starting to fall,” she murmured under her breath, staring at the slight dip in the chart with desperate relief. “Tomorrow morning, I’ll add even more funds, push this thing down hard, and make absolutely sure that Millie loses everything she gained p>
But the fourth trading day brought nothing but devastation.
Babette didn’t even get the opportunity to add more funds before her worst nightmare became reality—her account was completely liquidated.
Copper prices suddenly surged upward in a dramatic spike, blowing past her unprofitable threshold like it didn’t even exist. Within minutes, her entire account had been wiped out. Everything she’d invested, everything she’d borrowed from friends—gone.
Not a single cent remained.
Babette sat frozen in her chair, staring blankly at the empty account balance on her screen in absolute disbelief.
Her mind couldn’t process what had just happened.
The price had been rising for so many consecutive days—why was it still climbing? Wasn’t it supposed to start falling by now? But analyzing the situation now was completely pointless. Her account was empty, her money was gone, and no amount of reasoning would bring it back.
She slowly lifted her gaze from the computer screen to stare at the stark white ceiling above her, feeling completely numb and utterly lost about what to do next.
She remained in that dazed state for hours, barely moving, barely thinking.
By the afternoon, the universe decided to add insult to injury.

The copper price finally stopped its aggressive rise and began falling back down.
The morning’s dramatic surge had been the final peak before the inevitable correction—exactly what Babette had been waiting for all along.
But the timing was cruelly, devastatingly too late. There was nothing left in her account to benefit from this reversal.
At this point, all Babette could do was pray desperately that the copper price would drop quickly and dramatically. She needed to believe that she hadn’t lost…
Everything for nothing—that at the very least, Millie would suffer the same crushing losses.
However, Millie’s situation was entirely different from anything Babette could have imagined in her worst nightmares.
While Babette had been stubbornly holding her losing position, Millie had already begun withdrawing her profits in carefully calculated batches.
By the end of the third trading day, Millie had completely exited the market with all her positions closed and profits secured. The fourth day’s dramatic events had absolutely nothing to do with her.
She was already safely out with a significant fortune added to her accounts.
Except for a skeleton crew of staff members staying on duty just in case any issues arose, everyone else had been given time off to enjoy their victory that day.
So while Babette was sitting alone in her apartment, hysterically cursing at her empty trading account and wondering how she’d pay back all the money she’d borrowed, Millie was spending a peaceful afternoon at the Elliott Group.
