Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 754

Harvey walked and pondered the situation. They had been roommates for a long time, and he considered them friends, so he had no intention of keeping them entirely in the dark.

"It's a bit complicated. I'll explain everything when we get back to the dorm tonight."

He knew where to draw the line. He would give his friends a general overview of what they were doing, but he would withhold the specific dates, locations, and the nature of their international trades.

Moving forward, Harvey was going to be even busier than Mira.

He had to work with Grant Ashford to plan the recruitment strategy for their online education platform, hoping to ride the massive wave of traffic generated by Mira's upcoming exclusive interview. On top of that, he had to fast-track the launch of the e-commerce company.

He also needed to scrape together enough capital to join Mira on Wall Street.

And, of course, he had to handle his Academic Midterm Appraisals and his daily live-trading operations.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Harvey's rapid growth demanded a heavy price in sweat and effort.

Fortunately, he was hardworking and ambitious. There was no way he was missing out on this Wall Street trip with Mira.

Whether he won or lost the money didn't matter. What mattered was expanding his horizons and learning the tactics of the world's most elite financial institutions and predatory tycoons.

He wanted to soak in the atmosphere of working alongside masterminds and learn how to feel the pulse of the global economy.

Mira was undoubtedly a genius, and the people she surrounded herself with—like Owen Lance and Dominic West—were equally extraordinary.

Though he couldn't quite match them yet, Harvey firmly believed that iron sharpens iron. Running with wolves would eventually turn him into an apex predator.

They were friends, but if his skills lagged behind, he would inevitably be left in the dust.

If he wanted to achieve true greatness in this lifetime, he had to relentlessly keep pace with her.

For that, he was willing to pay any price, even if it meant risking millions.

"No. This is my own venture. I don't want my family's money tied up in it."

"Why not? You're the heir to the family business, aren't you?"

"You said it yourself—this investment carries massive risks. Besides, I only have complete control over the money I earn myself. If I lose it all, no one can blame me. But if I lose family funds, I instantly become the prodigal son who ruined the family."

"Your parents seem pretty open-minded. Even if you lost a large sum, they wouldn't say that about you, would they?"

"They wouldn't, but the other shareholders definitely would. And knowing my parents, they'd use their own money to cover the company's losses to protect me."

"Alright. You have your principles. Handle it the way you see fit."

...

The next day marked the start of the Academic Midterm Appraisals. When Mira arrived at campus, she noticed she still had forty minutes before the exam started. Remembering a particularly smooth pen she had left in her dorm, she went back to retrieve it and read for a bit before heading out.
