She took Holden's wrist, massaging a specific pressure point. "Don't worry, Silas has seen worse. This is nothing he can't handle."
"Nothing?" Holden's throbbing headache slowly eased under her touch. He met the girl's calm gaze, and somehow, his heart settled.
Serena patted his hand. "Get some rest. If Silas can't fix it, I'll step in."
Holden's eyes widened. He understood her meaning. If Silas failed, she would intervene.
His granddaughter... her medical skills were god-like. But this was a premeditated short attack by Wall Street titans. And she called it a small issue.
One wrong move in this hunt, and the Vinton Group would surely face bankruptcy.
If she said it was small, then the problem wasn't big!
Holden had absolute faith in Serena.
He nodded. "I'll leave it to you, Serena."
Serena hummed and looked at Kiera. "You too, Kiera. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Sitting outside the room, still dizzy and aching, Isabella heard Serena comforting the two elders. She wanted to scoff. If she said the wrong thing now, all her suffering would be for nothing.
Did Serena even know what shorting was? What a short attack meant? She was talking big. What if Silas falled? How could she bear the consequences?
She only knew how to sweet-talk Holden and Kiera, and they bought it!
Isabella gritted her teeth and went back to her room to clean herself up.
Maybe... this crisis could be her chance! If the elders thought that right after Holden transferred his shares to Serena, making her the biggest shareholder the company crashed... wouldn't that make
Serena a jinx? A curse on the Vinton family?

At the thought, a spark of joy lit up Isabella's eyes.
In the sanatorium's requisitioned conference room, the stock chart on the big screen was in a freefall.
On the video call, an executive looked frantic. "Boss, we can't hold on!"
"Their capital is too massive. Our defense funds were swallowed instantly!"
"The tech department just got hit by
hackers. The trading system was e
down for three minutes we lost billions!"
"They have elite hackers. Our firewall is breached. What do we do?"
The room was filled with chaotic reports and arguments. The situation was growing more desperate by the second.
Bad news piled up, pushing the tension to a breaking point.
