Elaine hurriedly intruded, “Officer, don’t listen to her! She kicked my husband out of her family and cut ties with him a long time ago!”The officer looked at Elaine, then at Lady Wilson, and asked skeptically, “Is what she said true?”“Of course not!” Lady Wilson urged, “It’s something I said in the heat of the moment!”“The heat of the moment?!” Jacob was provoked. “Mom, you kicked me out of your house a long time ago, you kicked me and Claire out of Wilson Group, you deducted Elaine and I’s pensions in the company, and cut ties with me! Now that you’re in a downfall, it suddenly becomes something you said in the heat of the moment?!”The officer frowned in confusion. He asked, “Who does this villa belong to?”Charlie said, “It’s mine.”The officer nodded and asked, “What is your relationship with the old lady?”Charlie shrugged indifferently. “We’re not really related. She is my wife’s grandmother.”The officer turned to Lady Wilson, “Ma’am, you’ve come to the wrong place.
With two officers clutching his arms, Harold glared at Charlie in hatred as he was being dragged out of the house and shouted, “Hey, b*stard, is this all your doing?”Charlie grinned. “Take a wild guess.”Christopher yelled from the top of his lungs, “Charlie Wade, you’ll pay for this! I’ll kill you myself!”The leading officer scolded, “Shut up.”Then, the group of police officers escorted all four of them into the police car and drove to the station.As Elaine watched the car drive away, she was so thrilled she jiggled around, dancing and cheering, “Yes! We’ve finally kicked them out of here! The dead old woman is getting a dose of her own medicine!”Jacob sighed in disapproval. “Watch your tongue. It’s fine that you don’t want her to live here, but she’s still my mother and she’ll always be.”Elaine pouted contemptuously. “Huh, you can call that woman your mother all you want as long as she doesn’t live in my house!”Claire, who had been silent the whole time, sighed and sai
Elaine figured that Charlie the loser wouldn’t dare to disobey her if she asked for the money from him directly.As soon as she got the money from him, she could invite her friends for a meal at a luxurious restaurant followed by a spa and facial treatment. This was what they called the upper-class lifestyle.Charlie shook his head at her request. “Mom, I can’t give you the money.”“Why not?” Elaine frowned, perplexed. “Dad is now in charge of the household fund and expenses. If you want to use the money, you’ll have to get Dad’s approval first.”“What do you say?!” Elaine growled hastily, “My words don’t count anymore, do they?”Charlie nodded. “For anything regarding money, you’ll have to go through Dad first.”“Hey, don’t you dare use Jacob to overpower me! I’m your mother-in-law and if I ask you for money, you have to give it to me, no questions asked!”Charlie smiled. “Of course, I can give you the money if Dad says okay, I can even give you all of it!”“You…” Elaine con
Elaine trotted up the stairs to the second floor and tried to open the door to Charlie and Claire’s room. She grinned triumphantly when the doorknob twisted open easily.Once she was inside the room, she began to rummage through their stuff.However, it was their first day moving into the villa. They hadn’t had the time to keep their things in the closets and there was nothing valuable laying around.Elaine searched for a long time but couldn’t find Charlie’s wallet nor bank card. Just when she was in the midst of frustration, her eyes blinked enthusiastically when she saw Charlie’s coat hanging in the closet. She hurried forward and rummaged through the pockets for a while. Finally, she found a black and gold bank card in one of the pockets.The card was filled with words from some foreign language that she couldn’t comprehend except for the fact that the card was from Citibank. She didn’t know what kind of bank card it was even after looking at the cards back and forth carefull
Mrs. Lewis sighed, “It was my job to take you off the street and into the orphanage, but you don’t have the obligation to take care of me and pay for the expensive medical bills. Besides, I know very well how your life in the Wilson family is…”Then, she continued, “Don’t worry, Charlie, I’ll find a way to pay you back.”Charlie was moved. Mrs. Lewis had really treated him as her own son and cared so much about him.He said in a sincere tone, “Mrs. Lewis, you don’t have to worry about the money nor pay me back either.”“No, I can’t do that! It is a lot of money, I have to repay you!”“No, Mrs. Lewis. I’ll always remember your kindness towards me. It’s my duty to spend money on your treatment. If you still insist on paying me back, you’re treating me as a stranger and I might not want to see you again!”Mrs. Lewis smiled warmly at his remark, but she knew that she couldn’t accept his money just like that. She would return the money to him no matter what he said.But, she said on
Elaine immediately entered the wedding anniversary of Charlie and Claire into the ATM.The screen prompted, “Hello, honorable Citibank Supreme VIP member, your password is incorrect, you have one attempt left today.”“D*mn it!” Elaine cursed. “Wrong again? D*mn, I have only one chance left…”She was stomping anxiously, suddenly, a thought struck her mind. Could it be Charlie’s own birthday?She wanted to give it a try eagerly, but she suddenly realized that she didn’t know when his birthday was. She sheepishly took out her phone and called Claire.She hurriedly asked as soon as the call was answered, “Claire, when is Charlie’s birthday?”Claire asked skeptically, “Mom, why do you want to know?”She knew that her mother had always looked down upon Charlie, so she couldn’t comprehend why she wanted to know Charlie’s birthday so abruptly.Elaine said, abashed, “Oh, erm, Charlie got us a villa, didn’t he? He worked hard for that, so I want to reward him with something like celebrat
Elaine stared at the numbers on the ATM, shocked and befuddled!She felt like the world was crumbling all around her.Her heart was still thumping vigorously. She did not understand why Charlie had twenty billion in his account!“No way! How is it possible? Twenty billion! Am I crazy or is Charlie? Where did he get so much money?”Elaine’s hands were shaking violently. Twenty billion! Not two hundred dollars, not two million dollars, but twenty billion!She had never even dreamed of so much money in her life!Where did Charlie get so much money? Did he fool Bill Gates without their knowledge?At that very moment, her first thought was to call Charlie and ask him about the money.But the next second, she shook her head hard. “No! I can’t call him! He will know that I’ve stolen his card!”The thing she should do now was to transfer his money into her account as soon as possible before he found out!She immediately clicked on the transfer option and entered her bank account numb
‘Yes, I am Elaine. My execution style is like a tornado, wherever I go, I don’t leave anything behind!’Gripping the card tight in her hand, she walked into the bank, thrilled and determined.A young and enthusiastic young man approached her as soon as she walked in, “Hello, how may I help you? Let me get you a number.”Elaine waved the black card in her hand and said eagerly, “I would like to make a transfer!”The young woman was bewildered when she saw the card!All Citibank staff had undergone professional training before they started work. In one of the training classes, there was a section dedicated to explaining about the black card!The black card was Citibank’s most exclusive card. It was limited to one hundred cards in the world and there were only five in the country!Everyone owning the black card was Citibank’s super VIP customer that could enjoy a personalized treatment with utmost respect and hospitality by the top executives of any branch!The young staff had nev
