Chapter 16
Diane still looks a bit pale.
He had never witnessed anything like it before.
"You ... Why are you so good at fighting?"
Was that Ethan before?
Husband married to his family?
Diane felt like she was watching a movie.
But then maybe even a movie isn't so impressive.
Is Ethan really just a bum?
"The homeless must seize food. If you don't know how to fight, you'll die" Ethan replied haphazardly.
Dian speechless. He knew that if he kept asking, Ethan would say his nonsense like this was one of the skills their Beggar Sect used to survive.
"All right now, do your job."
Diane looked at Ethan and stopped asking. He gathers project managers and organizes the work they need to do.
Ethan stood at the door and narrowed his eyes.
"There always seems to be people waiting to die."
He wasn't too worried about the little fry. But if they were to seek death, that is, if they tried to touch Diane, then she would annihilate them without hesitation!
Surprisingly, Diane's meeting went well.
The project manager initially wanted to make things difficult for Diane because everyone knew her position in the Palmer family was very low.
He was very young and became the person in charge of such a big project, and they weren't too happy about it.
But then who would dare to see the angel of death at the door?
"You should aim to finish the plant in three months, then we can make good use of this place."
Diane told them seriously, "Once the project starts, the supply chain will be set up. When that happens, I need everyone's cooperation to make sure this project runs smoothly!"
As she got into work mode, Diane really was like a different person.
Tight, serious, careful, professional.
Ethan leaned against the door and looked at Diane who was sitting at the table, her eyes full of tenderness.
This woman was truly charming as she took her work seriously.
......
Back to the house in Magnolia Estates.
April is massaging William's legs.
"Darling, this is hard for you."
Guilt was written all over William's face.
He has been paralyzed for years, but April remains by his side. He knew how much his wife was suffering, but he still continued to endure calmly.
"Not difficult. I married you, so I have to take care of you."
April smiled as she said this. "Well now, you stay home and watch TV, I have to go to the hospital to get medicine for you, your medicine is almost done."
He went to his room and took his wallet to find that he had no cash left.
So she went to Diane's room and took the debit card she used to use for household purposes. Diane always leaves it in the drawer, and April can pick it up to withdraw money whenever needed.
April opened the drawer and saw a black card inside. It did not look like the card he remembered.
But he did not think too much about it and took the card to the bank to withdraw money.
After getting the queue number and waiting for a long time, April finally heard her number and sat down at the counter.
"Hello, please pull everything."
April recalls that this card is only left a little over a thousand dollars. The medicine alone cost nearly a thousand and he still had to buy groceries, so he might as well withdraw the entire amount.
Teller saw that he was an older person and did not ask him to use the ATM, so he took the card from April.
But when he saw the card in his hand, his face immediately paled.
"Auntie, you .. You want to pull everything?"
"That's right," April smiled slightly embarrassedly.
It was only a little over a thousand dollars, and he was afraid that if he said the amount, the teller would laugh at him.
But who knows? Teller became more nervous. He saw a special logo on the card and his hand trembled. His throat was dry.
"Please wait a minute!"
He immediately flew out of his chair and staggered into the general manager's office with the card.
"Manager! Something has happened!"
Teller was nervous. "Something big has happened!"
The general manager was making tea and he raised an eyebrow at her. "Look how nervous you are. What's going on now?"
"Look!"
Teller gave him a black card. "There was an aunt outside who brought this card and said she wanted to pull it all!"
The general manager lazily looked on and he immediately woke up. He dropped his tea cup, set himself on fire and made him jump out of his chair.
This is one of those special black cards!
With a minimum of a billion dollars in the bank!
Pull everything? They don't have this much cash in their vaults!
"What does that aunt look like?"
He calms down immediately. There were very few in the world who could have this card and he had never heard of anyone owning it in a small place like Greencliff.
“It looks very normal, dressed very simply, does not look rich,” replied the teller immediately.
He was quite confident in his assessment. The jacket April wore looked like she had been wearing it for at least five or six years. "Could ...he take it?"
He did not dare to say the word 'steal', but there was disgust on his face.
"Huh! How dare he steal such a card! He asked!"
The general manager immediately ordered, "Tell the security to detain him and prepare to call the police!"
This was a rare card that most people were unlikely to have, let alone a normal-looking middle-aged aunt.
He only pulled a little over a thousand dollars, surely the bank had enough money right?
"Madam, please come with us."
Suddenly two burly guards walked over, their faces looking evil, flanking April to her left and right.
"Whatis that? What do you want?"
April surprised. What do these two guards want?
"We have instructions from the manager. Please cooperate, otherwise we must use force."
The two guards then pulled April out of the chair, intending to drag her into the general manager's office.
"Take me off! What are you doing in broad daylight!"
April started to shout in shock and many people started to stare, making her feel embarrassed.
He had never done anything illegal in his life, how could they do this to him?
"You'd better work together!"
One of the guards pushed April hard and she fell onto the chair. He wants to do well in front of the general manager. "Manager, I brought him here!
"What are you trying to do!" April shouted furiously.
"What are we trying to do?"
The general manager snorted. "Auntie, you're really brave!"
April did not understand.
"Stop pretending."
There was disgust on the teller's face as he took a closer look at April. From the old, tattered clothes and wrinkles all over her face, she knew April was someone who had no money.
How could he have such a card?
"Easy. Did you steal this card or take it from somewhere!"
April's face immediately flushed red with anger.
Steal?
He never thought there would come a day when he would be accused of stealing.
No matter how difficult it was for the family financially, he would not even borrow from his relatives. How could he go stealing?
"You.. You're slandering me!"
April looked at the card, "That card belongs to my family!"
"Oho, aunt, the police are on their way here, so there's no point in trying to get out of here!"
Teller sneers. If he did not smell the rat quickly, his assessment this year would be ruined!
Fortunately he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been finished off by this old lady.
"You're so old but you've done such a shameful thing, such a shame!"
April could not bear to hear that anymore.
"You let me go. Get off me!"
April tries to fight free but the security guards slap her in the face. "You better work together!"
Five bright red finger marks were seen on April's face.
He was really surprised.
He had never been humiliated like this before in his entire life. This slap was not just a slap on his face, but his pride!
"How dare you hit me. I will fight it out with you!"
April's eyes turned red as if she had gone mad. He broke away and pounced.
But of course he was no match for the security guards. He immediately pushed onto the floor and grazed his palm.
"How dare you cause trouble!"
The general manager shouted furiously, "Catch him!"
The two security guards pushed April back into the chair, found a rope and tied her hands and feet up.
In an instant, there was a rope burn on April's wrist.
"Take me off! Unhand me!"
April could not break away and her tears could not stop flowing. "How can you bully me like this!"
"Congratulations?"
Teller just laughed coldly. "You almost got me in big trouble, you know that!"
"Do you know what kind of card this is? This card requires a minimum of one billion dollars in a bank account! For an old lady like you, it's not bad if you can even take $ 100,000. How can you have such a card? ?"
Teller was so angry that his face was all red. Earlier she felt her soul leave her body when April asked her to pull everything on the card.
A billion!
April felt a tremor in her back. A billion?
There's a billion dollars on this card?
His lips trembled and his face was filled with disbelief.
"regretting now? It's too late!"
Seeing how frightened April was, the general manager was very sure that this card did not belong to April. Otherwise, why did he seem to be unable to believe what was happening?
Everyone who has such a card is in a high position, with great influence and insurmountable wealth.
If the owner finds out that their card has been stolen and their money withdrawn, their bank's reputation will be hit a fatal blow!
Thankfully they soon realized something was wrong, and avoided this terrible disaster.
The general manager happily thought to himself about how he would be considered one of the heroes in this incident after April admitted everything and was thrown in jail.
If he could also contact the owner of this card, then his future was bright!
"What do you have to say to yourself?"
He pulled April's hair back. He did not even bother to hide the disgust and disgust on his face.
If April wants to try to get out of this, she's ready to call the police to take her away.
"I want to call my daughter..."
April's voice trembled, and tears unceasingly flowed.
