Chapter 71

Chapter 71“Please have a seat first, sir. I’ll go and get the manager at once!” The staff did a one-eighty in terms of
his attitude toward Jared when he glimpsed the bank card in the man’s hand. “Okay.” Nodding, Jared
took a seat at the side while the staff hastily went to get the manager. Delilah was baffled at that turn of
events, and she couldn’t quite figure out why the bank staff became so courteous toward Jared out of
the blue.
“Do you really have ten million, Jared?” she asked Jared skeptically after seeing the staff’s sudden
change in attitude. “What has that got to do with you?” Jared sneered. “Jared, let me tell you that
forging a bank card is a crime! How could you possibly have ten million when you’re an ex-convict?
Don’t think I’m unaware that your family is still living in that old neighborhood, and your father is
currently sweeping the streets! How could you have ten million?”
Of course, Delilah didn’t believe that he truly had ten million. If he really has that much money, would
he still be living in that crappy neighborhood? Besides, he had just gotten out of prison, so he can’t
possibly have made ten million in a few days! Hah! He must be deliberately putting on a show in front
of me, thus saying that to fool me! When the other customers in the bank heard her remark, they all
cast curious glances at Jared. These days, all cash withdrawals are made via bank cards, and a simple
check will tell whether there’s money in the card.
There can’t be someone so foolish as to forge a bank card, no? Shortly after, the bank staff who had
just left returned with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was wearing glasses and seemed to
be in a hurry. “Hello, sir. I’m the bank manager. How may I help you?” the middle-aged man inquired
politely after walking over to Jared. “I’d like to withdraw one point three million, but I don’t have an
appointment. Can I still make the withdrawal?” While speaking, Jared handed the bank card to the
bank manager. The moment the bank manager saw the card, his expression changed slightly.
“Sure! You don’t need to make an appointment, sir. However, we presently don’t have that much cash
on hand. I’ll have someone deliver some money over from other branches right away. Please adjournto my office while you wait, sir.” Jared nodded and got up to head to the man’s office to wait. Seeing
that, Delilah was entirely dumbfounded. She stepped forward and blocked the bank manager’s path,
screeching, “What’s wrong with this bank?
novelbinWhy can he make a withdrawal when he doesn’t have an appointment? He’s merely an ex-convict, and
you just agreed without even checking whether there’s any money in his bank card? If that’s the case, I
also want to withdraw a million right now!” After having bellowed at the man, she turned to her
boyfriend and urged, “Let’s also make a withdrawal of a million, Darling!” Brayden strode over and
swept his gaze over Jared.
Then, he whipped out a bank card and handed it to the bank manager. “There’s likewise ten million in
this card, and I also want to withdraw a million now.” Alas, the bank manager didn’t even spare it a
glance, merely replying placidly, “I’m sorry, but that’s not possible without an appointment.” That answer
had Delilah flipping her lid. Argh! He clearly has double standards! Jared can withdraw money without
an appointment when he has ten million in his bank card.
Our bank card also has ten million, yet we need to make an appointment?! “What kind of crappy bank
is this? I want to lodge a complaint! Why do we need an appointment when he doesn’t need one? We
also have ten million in the bank card! Didn’t you hear that?” she roared at the bank manager. “This
gentleman is a supreme VIP client of this bank, so he doesn’t need an appointment. You both, on the
other hand, are merely ordinary clients.
As such, there’s no comparison,” the bank manager explained indifferently. Upon hearing that, Delilah
almost burst a blood vessel. She shot daggers at the man. “He’s a supreme VIP client? Are you making
a mistake here? He’s merely an ex-convict who had just been released from prison!”
