Vulcan Empire Chapter 19
Melissa's conversation with Simon from Grand Horizon Bank was overheard by Zachary and everyone else, and it was perfectly clear.After the call ended, Zachary inquired, "Melissa, was that Grand Horizon Bank on the phone?"Melissa's voice quivered with excitement as she replied, "Yes, it was Mr. Lawson himself from Grand Horizon Bank. They've agreed to grant us the loan, and they said offering up to 1.5 billion dollars would be no issue at all.""What, 1.5 billion dollars!" Zachary was so astonished that he felt his blood pressure rise, causing his face to turn bright red.He had been overjoyed with the idea of 150 million dollars, but now, to his surprise, the possibility of obtaining a massive 1.5 billion dollars emerged.If that were true, it would not be long before the Simmons Group transformed into a colossal billion-dollar company.Melissa expressed her admiration, "Lionel is truly talented. He made a simple phone call and convinced Grand Horizon Bank to lend us the money.

Whispers spread throughout the crowd, catching Melissa's attention. She could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction as all eyes turned towards her. This was her moment to shine, and she intended to make the most of it."I'll show them what I'm capable of," she thought confidently. "After today, they won't dare underestimate me again."With a piercing glare at the bank receptionist, Melissa snapped, "Do you want to risk losing your job? Do you have any idea who I am? I'm the young miss of the Simmons family, Lionel Walsh's girlfriend, the big shot. I hold VIP status here at Grand Horizon Bank. Simon himself summoned me. Get him out here now, or we'll walk right out that door and you'll bear the consequences."The bank receptionist began to panic, stuttering, "Oh, it's Ms. Simmons. I'm terribly sorry for not recognizing you and failing to give you a proper welcome. Please forgive my mistake; I hope you won't hold it against me."Melissa felt a surge of satisfaction. "It's fine. I

Simon blinked in surprise. Lionel? Who was this Lionel person?He was supposed to treat Rosalie, the daughter of the Simmons family, as the most important guest at Grand Horizon Bank.Simon had not seen Rosalie yet, so he was not sure what she looked like. However, the woman in front of him was the same person he had spoken to on the phone, so he assumed she was the right individual.Simon walked up to her and shook her hand politely. "Ms. Simmons, I apologize for the delay. I was caught up with something and kept you waiting."Melissa smiled. "Mr. Lawson, it's no problem at all. I don't mind."After a brief pause, she added, "Mr. Lawson, you seem like a really nice guy. I'll make sure to speak highly of you to Lionel later. Maybe it will help you get a promotion soon."Lionel, again. Who was this person, and why had Simon not heard of him?Simon felt a swirl of confusion.Then, it dawned on him, and he could not help but feel a little excited. "Could Lionel be the mysterious b

Simon's expression grew cold as he asked, "Who are you?"In that instant, when he realized she was not Rosalie, all his respect disappeared.Melissa beamed with pride and said, "I'm Melissa, Lionel's girlfriend. You know, Lionel from the Walsh Group? They're worth a hundred million dollars!"Simon understood the situation clearly. Lionel was merely a small player in a not-so-prominent company.He knew he had gotten the wrong person."What's the last part of your phone number?" Simon asked.Melissa gave him a perplexed look and responded, "Eight nine zero. Why? Don't you remember my number? We just spoke on the phone recently."Simon groaned internally. He had dialed the wrong number. He intended to call Rosalie, whose number ended with eight six zero, but he had mistakenly pressed eight nine zero."Alright, Mr. Lawson, let's not waste any more time. We urgently need to sign that contract. The Simmons family wants to borrow 1.5 billion dollars. I'm supposed to meet Lionel at fiv

Before long, Zachary, Melissa, and the others were all escorted out of Grand Horizon Bank.Apart from feeling embarrassed, they were also furious at being treated this way.They were convinced that Simon had made a mistake."Melissa, what's happening? Why did Simon recognize Rosalie as the top VIP instead?" Zachary asked, clearly frustrated.Melissa responded with determination, "They must have made an error. I guess when my father-in-law informed Mr. Wilson, he accidentally mentioned me as Rosalie. Damn it! That woman ended up getting an advantage."Zachary nodded in agreement. "That's highly likely. You should call Lionel right away and have him come here to expose Rosalie, so she won't get the loan."Melissa felt even more anxious than Zachary, so she wasted no time and swiftly pulled out her phone to make the call.After escorting the members of the Simmons family out, Simon approached Rosalie with utmost respect and inquired, "Are you Miss Rosalie Simmons?"Rosalie nodded,

Simon was slightly taken aback. "Miss Rosalie, isn't 7.5 million dollars too low? You should consider going for 150 million dollars."Rosalie pondered for a moment and replied, "Alright, I'll settle for 30 million dollars then. That should be sufficient."Simon nodded in agreement. "Very well."He admired Rosalie's honesty. If it were someone like Melissa, they would have opted for the full 1.5 billion dollars instead of settling for less.Soon, Rosalie finished signing the agreement.Shortly after, she received a notification from the bank confirming the deposited funds.Rosalie was astonished.Was this the legendary instant transfer service?The VIP treatment truly lived up to its reputation.Just as Rosalie finished signing the agreement, Lionel, who had received a call from Melissa, finally arrived in his car.Melissa rushed over to greet him. "Lionel, you made it."Lionel replied, his expression darkening, "Has that bitch Rosalie left yet?"Melissa shook her head. "Not

Upon hearing Rosalie openly insult her, Melissa felt deeply offended, and anger surged through her. She yelled, "Simon, what are you waiting for? Remove this woman from here! She is not the true VIP and has no right to be the Prestige VIP of Grand Horizon Bank."Simon firmly replied, "I'm sorry, but I was instructed to assist Miss Rosalie. As for you, Melissa, I don't know who you are."Lionel glared and shouted, "You fool, can't you understand basic English? How can you be the director of Grand Horizon Bank if you don't comprehend what I'm saying? I've already told you multiple times that you have attended the wrong person!"After a brief pause, Lionel explained, "My dad called Mr. Wilson and asked Grand Horizon Bank to treat Melissa as the Prestige VIP. However, he accidentally mentioned Rosalie instead of Melissa. Do you understand now?"Simon replied, "I'm sorry, I still don't understand. It's because Miss Rosalie is our Prestige VIP, not because of the Deputy General Manager's

Melissa interjected, "That's right, Mr. Wilson. Simon and the others made a mistake and confused Rosalie was me. You should talk to him about it. And by the way, Simon is not qualified to be the director of Grand Horizon Bank. You should let him go."Gary responded without emotion, "Simon is our exceptional director at Grand Horizon Bank. Do you really think you have the power to fire him? Who do you think you are? And when were you given the authority to meddle in our bank's affairs?"Lionel, displaying both ignorance and arrogance, said, "Mr. Wilson, if you do me this favor today, I'll put in a good word for you with my dad. The Walsh family will be forever grateful."Gary was left speechless. He had encountered many individuals who overestimated themselves, but never someone as audacious as Lionel."George means nothing to me. Why would I need to seek his favor?""He's just someone who flatters me and follows me around. He would never disobey me. If I asked him to kneel, he wou

In an instant, a feeling of imminent danger gripped everyone in the vicinity. It was as if a sharp blade had been pressed against their throats, causing their breath to hitch and their bodies to quiver.Tri-Serpant rose to his feet and bellowed, "What are you all waiting for? Get him! Take down this bastard! Whoever succeeds will be promoted to my right-hand man and receive a reward of $15,000!"Upon hearing the enticing promise of such a generous reward, the dozens of Serpent Gang thugs regained their courage. They shouted in unison, charging at Dustin with raised fists, underestimating him due to their overwhelming numbers.Undeterred by their assault, Dustin gently laid Rosalie on the ground and swiftly retrieved silver needles to administer acupuncture. In a matter of moments, he managed to staunch the bleeding from Rosalie's head.Meanwhile, the Serpent Gang thugs closed in on him. Leading the charge was a hulking figure resembling a gorilla, aiming a powerful punch straight a

For a moment, both Tri-Serpent and Lionel were stunned. They had not expected Rosalie to attempt suicide by smashing her head against the wall. She was determined, that's for sure!However, they felt no sympathy nor any sadness. Their only concern was that her death would prevent them from further torturing her.They wanted to see her suffer and get a satisfactory revenge.Lionel blurted, "That bitch got off too easy."Tri-Serpent, the calmest among them, said, "Don't worry. She won't die just from hitting the wall. At most, she's concussed and unconscious."He waved his hand and sneered. "Guys, keep going. Dead or alive, we won't let her off.""Yes, boss!" The dozens of Serpent Gang thugs responded, approaching Rosalie once again with creepy grins. "Hey, beautiful, no one can save you today."They were heartless and did not care about Rosalie's injury.Rosalie was not unconscious but had a concussion, making her too weak to stand.As she saw the thugs approaching, she

The man in the villa was the leader of the Serpent Gang, known as the "Tri-Serpent."After Lionel and Tri-Serpent finished their glasses of red wine, four thugs entered the room, bringing in Rosalie who was tied up.Lionel commanded, "Untie her."The four thugs followed his orders and released Rosalie from the ropes.Once she was free, Rosalie glared at Lionel with intense anger. "Lionel, so it was you all along!"Lionel sneered at her, "Now you see the difference between you two and me? Don't think that saving Mr. Holt makes you part of our circle."Hmph, you and your husband are nothing compared to me. I can easily destroy both of you."Go ahead, call that useless Dustin and ask Sebastian for help. Let's see if he can save you now."Lionel believed that even Sebastian would not dare to anger the Serpent Gang.Tri-Serpent glanced at Rosalie and asked, "Miss Simmons, do you know why we brought you here?"Rosalie snorted. "What do you want?"Tri-Serpent responded with a sinis

Rosalie could not believe her luck. It felt like a dream that she had effortlessly obtained a 30 million dollar loan from Grand Horizon Bank, and the money was transferred right away.Once she got back to the office, she called Dustin. "Dustin, I managed to secure a 30 million dollar loan from Grand Horizon Bank.""That's amazing, Rosalie! I always knew you could do it."Rosalie sighed. "I don't think it was all me. Everything went so smoothly, as if someone was secretly helping me.""If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Holt might have had a hand in it. I heard that Mr. Lawson from Grand Horizon Bank owes Mr. Holt a big favor," Dustin suggested, trying to shift any suspicion away from himself."I see. No wonder Grand Horizon Bank treated me as their Prestige VIP. Sigh, we owe Mr. Holt another huge favor. Dustin, Mr. Holt has helped us so much already. We shouldn't trouble him anymore. We must be content with what we have," Rosalie said, feeling bad."No problem. By the way, Rosalie, can you
