"But...if you withdraw now, you'll lose a lot."
"I know." Vera Wave gave him a smile. "I have very important matters to attend to, so I can't worry about that now."
"Ah—" Robert Taylor let out a long sigh. "Vera... Uncle here... I'm truly sorry. There was a very popular project recently, with returns of up to 15%. Knowing your difficult situation, I thought I'd help you earn some extra money, so I invested all of it..."
Vera knew a thing or two about investments. She was aware that some fixed-income financial products couldn't be withdrawn easily. "In that case... I just want the principal. I'll forgo the profits. Is that alright?"
Robert Taylor pondered with a creased brow, then pressed the intercom button.
"Assistant, bring me the data from that investment order I made earlier."
Shortly after, the assistant walked in and handed him a file.
Robert Taylor's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the file in his hand. He then handed it over to Vera.
"Vera, have a look yourself!"
