On hearing the insults thrown at Noah Gloria felt like she was on cloud nine. How dare he cross her and hope to live peacefully? She added another remark on seeing that Noah was about to step forward;

"Wait, in any case, you are the husband of my dear friend, so here! I'll give you 600 dollars out of my own purse, just take them and get out!"

Even after hearing Gloria's insulting remarks, Noah did not respond. And at this very moment, one of the bank employees came to Noah and said with a polite smile.

"Sir, you can use the ATM to withdraw an amount below $20,000."

He had probably heard Gloria's remarked and redirected Noah towards the ATM.

"Oh, I actually want to withdraw more than twenty thousand dollars." Noah said.

Before the employee could respond, Gloria chimed in with contempt;

"That's impossible! You get six hundred dollars a month, how much money could you possibly have saved, even after three years? In my opinion, it has to be two thousand dollars at maximum.

And in any case, what will you even do with that money? Do you want to go to the flea market to buy clothes, because these clothes look like you have put them on after mopping the floor with it!"

He simply glanced at her lightly, then turned his attention towards the employee. He didn't have enough time to pay attention to a garbage pile.

On being ignored once again, Gloria's anger reached its limit and she shouted,

"Why, are you feeling embarrassed now? Or don't you dare say how much amount you are here to withdraw? Are you afraid that your reputation will sink further, then don't worry! I doubt you have much self respect anyway…"

"Would you believe me if I say eight million?"

Noan asked pointedly.

"Eight million? Ha ha ha..."

Gloria couldn't help laughing and shouted to the people who had gathered around them,

"This feels like a damn circus, everyone! This jobless house husband from the village, claims that he is here to withdraw eight million fucking dollars! Oh, my stomach hurts from laughing this much…"

The bystanders also joined in on the laughter. A jobless son-in-law has eight million in his account?

The thought was absurd and hilarious at the same time…

But Gloria wasn't finished;

"Hold on a second, have you started stealing from my friend now? No no, even that requires some effort and a functioning brain! Because no one in their right mind who has stolen something would boast about it publicly! So from next time, just remember that even when you want to exaggerate, just do it within limits…"

"Do you want to bet on it?"

Noah finally turned his attention towards Gloria, crossing his arms in front of his chest and squinted at her.

"Why not!" Gloria said with a smile,

"Remember your own words! If you don't have eight million in your account, how about kneeling down and calling me 'Madame' for the rest of your life? Anyway, you're just a jobless husband who happens to be lucky enough to get a rich wife, it won't be much of a stretch to call me Madame… and don't worry, I'll even give you a tip like the rest of my servants, ha ha!"

"And what if I win?"

Noah asked with a dry smile.

"If you win? Oh, don't kid yourself! Fine, if you really win, I'll call you my 'Master', and everyone here can be our witness!"

Gloria found the idea too laughable to even imagine, that she would ever kneel in front of an ignorant, lower class fool!

At this time, Tom Burton, the regional manager of the bank, arrived at the air-conditioned hall after hearing some commotion. He was Gloria's boyfriend, and she had come to the bank to meet him.

As soon as she spotted him in the crowd, Gloria smiled and said,

"Honey, you are here at the perfect time! This guy wants to withdraw eight million."

Eight Million!!!?

Tom looked at Noah from head to toe. He looked like a bargain shopper… even the shoes he wore were a fake pair of Nike, which were sold at the thrift markets at 30 dollars a pair. How could there be eight million in his account? He couldn't help but smile faintly.

He was just about to call for the security guards to throw Noah out for this sick joke, when he suddenly spotted the debit card in Noah's hand… and he was left absolutely stunned!

The debit card had a plain black background, and printed on it was a bright golden dragon.

The golden dragon monogram was printed with 3D technology and was absolutely lifelike in design! So it was the actual Black Dragon Card!

Ordinary people might not be able to recognize the card, but as a regional manager of the bank, he couldn't help but notice it!

The Black Dragon Card was universal; it was only given to the most senior members of any financial institution, and there were only 50 cards in the world!

Even some members of the royal families of other countries did not possess that card!

Therefore, having a Black Dragon Card was no less than a symbol of noble status!

"Well, sir, please follow me to the senior VIP room."

Tom hurriedly bowed respectfully.

At that moment, he was so relieved that he hadn't called the guards or broken the rules of the company… otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hearing this, Gloria frowned and jumped in the middle;

"VIP room? Do you really believe he has eight million dollars in his account? Have you lost it, I thought you would be a little smarter! Let's just get this guy out of here quickly, so he doesn't cause any more trouble!"

SMACK!

Tom suddenly slapped her in the face and said anxiously, "Shut up!"

What the hell!

He couldn't afford to offend someone with a Black Dragon Card… did she want to die?!

And did she want to drag him to hell along with herself?!

  • Ch-205. Our legacy

    Noah was sitting in the garden, trying desperately to calm himself as he had been feeling a little uneasy because of the way things had unfolded.He had spent most of his life away from home, this is why, he knew the value of family. He had also met several people who were dark to the very core, but for some reason, he thought that Liam was different…Noah had a feeling that everything he had been doing so far, was just because something that he thought would always remain his, had been snatched from him in the middle of all the succession drama… and especially because of Noah himself.So it was a logical thing that he hated him from the core of his heart… but he had also seen his affection towards their grandpa. He was lost in his thoughts, staring off into the distance… when he noticed some disturbance near the ivy vines, lurking by the southernmost boundary of the garden.He rose from his seat and started walking towards the boundary; and Ben snapped to attention.He had been stan

    “Killed him? Dad!! You are saying you killed him… wasn't his death an accident? Then how is it possible that you are the reason behind–”Liam didn't even realize that he had started to interrogate his father under the effect of his anxiety on hearing the last words spoken by him.Till now, he had been thinking that they were standing on the right side of the situation as well as the history that was yet to be written. He really believed that they were the oppressed ones who had always been discriminated against, trying to fight for their rights which had unjustly been snatched from them.But after hearing his father's nonchalant response, he wasn't able to think straight anymore. He was ready to go to any extent to get what really belonged to him, but killing someone was something he could never imagine doing… nor was he able to digest the fact that his father was a murderer.But before he could have completed his statement, Otis interrupted his rambling. “Yes! It was an accident, a

  • Ch-203. Begging

    Sabreena hesitated in the doorway, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she clutched a large bouquet of white lilies. She took a deep breath before stepping into the living room, her eyes darting around nervously and scanning the faces: her brother was looking at her with confusion, while Olivia’s gaze was sharp, Eliana’s gently curious, and Noah was stoic and calm; although his calm demeanor wasn't exactly helpful in taming her anxiety.Finally, with a forced smile, she spoke up. “Oh, come on, Olivia…” She started awkwardly, the bouquet trembling slightly in her hands. “How long are you going to hold on to some… some small incident from ages ago? Why would I insult him? I… actually, I have come to thank No- I mean, Mr. Kingsley.”Eliana shot her mother an amused glance, while Noah remained silent, his face unreadable as Sabreena took a few steps forward, extending the bouquet of lilies towards him. Olivia crossed her arms and cut in sharply, “Well, I can’t exactly let it go

  • Ch-202. Son-in-law

    Liam threw down the glass vase which was placed on the side table in his room, sending it crashing to the floor, as soon as he noticed his parents trying to enter his room once again.It had been four days since his return- or to be honest, the rather rude way in which he had been thrown out, not just from the party but from the city itself. The security had unceremoniously dumped them on the first flight back to Edinburgh, without caring which class tickets were available. And apart from declaring in front of his parents that he had failed miserably, he hadn't given any specific details to his parents. Instead, he had locked himself in his room, boycotting everything: from eating properly to speaking to his parents.In fact, since last night, he had not even touched the food, even for once… and this was making both Otis and Viola more and more tense with every passing second.Even though they were aware that the deal had slipped out of Liam's hands, they were still trying to keep th

  • Ch-201. Doom and Gloom

    “What? Richard Jensen was there too?!” Eliana’s voice burst out in surprise from Noah's phone speaker, her lovely face filling the screen of their video call as she heard the entire story from his mouth. She leaned closer, her eyes wide with disbelief, while Noah glanced into the screen as he replied while preparing to go to bed. “Oh yeah! And he had plenty to say against me at first, calling me a scammer and whatnot. But as soon as Grandpa Omar and Norm showed up, he went quiet and practically disappeared into the crowd, fearing for his own safety.”Eliana burst into laughter, covering her mouth. “After what happened last time, I can’t believe he had the nerve to show up and then also splash mud on you! I mean, did he get the guts?”Noah chuckled. “Apparently, he bribed the event organizers for an invitation. And I guess he was really feeling frustrated after our last meeting, and thinking that he had nothing more to lose now, just vented out all his anger. His little scam was

  • Ch-200. The truth

    “I understand, Grandpa Omar, that you’re not much of a drinker.”Noah continued with a steady voice, meeting some raised eyebrows from the people gathered around there. He continued, knowing that his words were surely having some effect, since Norm and Omar were looking at him with curiosity now, instead of suspicion. “I am also aware that you, Grandfather Norm and my grandfather have planned to visit Edencrest Estate together after the signing of the deal, and finally share the bottle of wine purchased so long ago. That is why I have ensured that the other bottle has safely been delivered at your residence, as the homage to that promise.”He glanced at the broken necklace on the floor, and everyone else's eyes followed; to the place where Sienna had thrown it after snapping the string and causing the pearls to scatter in all directions. “And I apologize for the condition of the necklace. It was a vintage heirloom, and though it was meant to be my gift to Eleanor, I shall make sure
