Then, she ended the call.

Later that evening, Lilah saw messages in the Phillips family chat group.

“Ever since I put Onyx in charge of my finances, I've been earning cash every minute." One of them sent a voice message, bursting into laughter.

"Same here. It keeps climbing. At this rate, I might earn tens of thousands before the month ends."

"I'm sure we'll make a lot more than that. Maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ha-ha!"

“Onyx is indeed competent," one praised.

Keith also sent a voice message. “Onyx, you are indeed talented in the business. It's only been a few days, but we've already made up for all the money we lost. Lilah cannot be compared to you. ALL she did was make us lose money."

"Uncle Keith, managing money takes skill. She doesn't know anything about it, but has been doing it recklessly. That's why she's not making money, but causing losses. Don't worry. In a few days, you'll be making even more," Onyx replied.

"Great news! I'll need some cash in a few days. I was thinking I might have to borrow it. It seems unnecessary."

Onyx messaged, “As long as you trust me, I guarantee everyone here will profit."

“I trust you, Onyx. I'd love to invest more."

“I'd love, too."

"Okay." Onyx messaged, "I will check out another stock tonight and let you know how it's going. If you're interested in buying it with me, you can send me the money later."

"Count me in."

"I'm in."

Onyx had an excellent reputation in the chat group.

Others noticed they could earn money by joining his investment endeavors.

One commented, "The price of the stock Lilah invested has reached its lowest price today."

“Haven't we all been aware of that already?"

“Every time I think about my loss, it just makes me furious. She's young and inexperienced, yet she wants to invest like a seasoned businessman. How clueless!"

“Fortunately, we were quick to stop the loss and withdraw whatever was left; otherwise, we'd have lost much more, if not everything."

“Exactly! If I had insisted on keeping my money under her management, I wouldn't have made a penny."

When Onyx saw these statements, he became very happy. “Look, if you can just trust me, I'll surely help you make a lot of money.

Then he addressed Janis in particular. "Aunt Janis, do you still trust Lilah? You can see that she knows nothing about such investments. Please withdraw all your money and bring it to me so I can manage it for you. You'll earn back all your losses very quickly."
