Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

Catherine waved her hands repeatedly, trying to show her innocence.

Henry sneered inwardly at the other party's feigned ignorance.

He had anticipated this reaction from the other party.

He took a leisurely sip of water: "That's wonderful!"

Catherine, do you know? What I admire most about you is your emphasis on integrity.

"To express my gratitude for keeping this a secret, I've decided that I'm going to give your mom a good compliment on your current boyfriend."

I'm sure she'll be very surprised and delighted when she hears this news.

"Ah, no!!!"

It felt like my vital spot had been grabbed;

Before she could finish speaking, Catherine, who had been displaying an innocent expression, immediately broke character.

Instead, her eyes were filled with anger and panic.

His voice rose eight octaves: "Henry, you can't do this!"

"Didn't we agree to keep each other's secrets?"

"Hmph, you said it yourself, our agreement is to keep it a secret from each other."

"But now, my secret has been discovered by my mother!"

You were the one who broke our agreement first.

"Henry, it's not what you think!"

Knowing that she had been completely exposed, Catherine dared not continue to pretend to be innocent.

After all, she couldn't let her relationship with Chinese international students during her university years be exposed.

In a society like the United States where racial discrimination is prevalent, if news of a Getty family heiress dating an Asian man were to emerge, it could easily bring shame to the family and make her a laughingstock among other wealthy families.

At that time, even someone as magnanimous as Gloria would have no choice but to express her opposition unequivocally.

"If you dare betray me, I'll make you regret it!"

Although Catherine's voice still carried a hint of threat, her tone had clearly softened: "Okay! I admit it was my fault."

"I told Mom about you skipping classes so often when I was drunk."

"But, Henry, you should know that I did not do this on purpose."

Even so, I still think you shouldn't take such a long leave of absence from class.

Looking at Catherine, who was dejected and had given in to him, a sly glint flashed in Henry's eyes;

He understood that he had taken control of the conversation.

"Catherine, I know you didn't mean it, but the result is the result."

Henry remained calm as he said, "The problem now is that we need to find a solution to make up for the trouble you've caused me."

"Alright, tell me what kind of compensation you want!"

Catherine rubbed her forehead, her voice tinged with helplessness: "But let me make this clear first, I don't have much money."

Henry shrugged slightly upon hearing this: "Catherine, you know I'm not short of money now."

The wealth I gained from my recent long positions in oil has officially made me a billionaire.

"Hmm? And then?"

Catherine raised an eyebrow, indicating that Henry could get straight to the point.

"Then, I have now launched another major futures investment."

I have invested all my liquid funds in the silver and gold futures markets.

However, because my other startup is at a critical juncture in its development, I simply cannot stay in New York for an extended period to personally oversee this investment…”

"You mean... you want me to look after your investments in New York?"

When Catherine learned that Henry had once again embarked on a high-stakes gamble, her expression immediately turned extremely serious.

She realized that Henry's request this time was no joke.

At that moment, as the older sister, she was genuinely worried about her brother's behavior.

"Henry, the futures market is not a place where you can make money easily."

Do you know?

Statistics show that over 90% of futures traders ultimately suffer losses.

Even experienced investors can suffer huge losses during periods of extreme market volatility.

"The leverage mechanism in futures trading allows you to control huge assets with a relatively small amount of capital, but it also means that if you misjudge the direction, your losses will be magnified many times over."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I've also done some research on the silver market you mentioned earlier."

This market is greatly affected by macroeconomic factors, especially changes in the international political situation, which have made it extremely unstable.

Behind the current market are many formidable major players.

"You're taking such a desperate gamble; it's far too dangerous."

"I know you've always been smart and brave, but this time, I really hope you can reconsider your strategy."

We are not ordinary people; we don't need to gamble with our future.

We can certainly look for more stable investment options, such as bonds or long-term equities, to allow our wealth to grow steadily over the long term.

"Catherine, I understand your concerns."

But please believe me, I have analyzed all the intelligence data and conducted in-depth research on market trends.

Henry could sense his sister's genuine concern.

Without the so-called "God's-eye view," he would never have taken such a risk.

But who could blame him for having such foresight!

If he misses this opportunity to quickly accumulate early capital due to momentary caution, he will surely regret it. "You see, due to domestic economic stagnation and increased global political uncertainty, people are starting to seek safe-haven assets."

Demand for gold and silver, traditional safe-haven assets, is surging.

Prices have also been rising over the past few years.

The market is currently at a historic turning point, presenting a rare opportunity to profit.

Henry paused, looking at Catherine, trying to make her understand his plan: "As you said, there are many large institutional investors buying up precious metals now, which will inevitably push prices up further."

My initial strategy is to take advantage of the current market trend and go long.

I have already set aside some funds for risk management and have set stop-loss points.

I will close my position to lock in profits once the price reaches my target.

If our current plan proceeds smoothly, we can completely escape this damned situation. We won't have to hold back anymore because of the so-called "Getty family."

Since the death of George, the father of Henry and others, their lineage has been excluded from the core circle of the Getty family.

Today, the Getty family is led by Gordon Getty, the fourth son of Paul Getty.

Their lineage was completely relegated to a marginal branch.

Catherine was so afraid of the news of her dating an Asian boyfriend getting out because of the pressure from Gordon's family.

Catherine listened intently, her brow furrowed, as if considering whether Henry's suggestion was feasible.

Finally, she sighed, her gaze softening as she nodded: "Alright! Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."

"If you really need my help, I can temporarily look after your investments here."
