Chapter 196

Desmond sneered, staring coldly at the waiter, "There's plenty of credit on this card. How could it not work? Is your machine broken?"

The waiter couldn't afford to offend Desmond, but the card indeed wouldn't go through.

And the machine was definitely working; it had just been used.

Could it really be such a coincidence that it broke now?

"Mr. Boleyn, please don't be upset. I'll try another machine right away. Please wait a moment." The waiter tried all the machines in the store, but none worked. One not working was possible, but all of them?

Finally, the waiter reluctantly returned the card and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Boleyn, but this card really isn't working. Could you try another card?"

Watching the waiter try all the machines, Desmond's expression shifted from anger to

a dark scowl. Could there really be a problem with the card?

Desmond then pulled out his wallet and threw out a few more cards, "Try these."

The waiter tried again but to no avail, shaking his head nervously, "Mr. Boleyn, I'm

sorry, but none of these cards are working. Based on experience, they might be frozen. Perhaps you should check with the bank to see if there's been an error."

"What?"

Desmond's face darkened as he looked at the cards.

How could there be a problem with these cards?

He was already in a bad mood today, and this made it worse.

He turned around awkwardly, only to see the store's staff staring at him, seemingly aware of his embarrassing situation.

Desmond gritted his teeth, pulled out another card, and threw it down, "Try this one!"

This card held his secret funds, with a little over ten thousand dollars in it.

"Mr. Boleyn, the balance is insufficient."

Desmond's face burned with anger and shame. How could it be insufficient?

He clearly remembered there was money in it.

Desmond asked, "How much can you charge?"

The waiter cautiously replied, "Only three thousand dollars."

Three thousand dollars?
