Chapter 76

Veronica took out a black-colored card which had a major bank’s name embossed in gold. In fact, it looked quite classy.

As soon as the card was taken out, everyone was momentarily stunned and their eyes widened. There was no mistaking the shock on everyone’s faces, especially Tiffany. As soon as she saw the card, she couldn’t contain her anger and her delicate features were distorted with jealousy.

“This… Is this… the Centurion Card?”

Just then, Floch caught his breath in a deep gasp and he instinctively turned to glance at Rachel. At that moment, he was stunned beyond words.

“Ha! Now that’s about right.”

 

Elizabeth shot a look at Matthew with a happy smile on her face. “You’re Veronica’s brother, so that’s the least you can do.”

“But… Old Mrs. Kings, this is the Centurion Card and it’s got unlimited credit. Matthew gave this to Veronica so casually, but what if she spends unnecessarily? After all, this card can be used to purchase anything and it can even be used to buy a plane!”

 

After the direct snub, Rachel intentionally came up with an excuse to maintain her image and she purposely analyzed Matthew’s “kind move.” From her words, she intended to put across to everyone that Veronica had, in fact, originated from the countryside so it was very likely that she would splurge frivolously with so much money on her hands.

“Yeah, Mom’s right! Grandma, Veronica just came back to Bloomstead from the countryside, so she hasn’t been exposed to the urban lifestyle. If she’s given too much money all at once, it might not be a good thing for her.” Just then, Tiffany echoed Rachel’s words.

After listening to everyone’s words, Veronica finally understood that the black card in her hand was in fact the renowned Centurion Card that could be used to buy anything, even a plane.

Initially, she had thought that this was a VVIP card because of Matthew’s exalted status. It was no wonder that the salesperson had looked at her strangely when she went shopping, and they had also been especially accommodating.
