Serena suggested, “Why don’t you call the bank and ask them to increase the credit limit? Banks are getting atrocious nowadays.”

Hence, James took out his phone again. Before he managed to call the bank, however, he received a call from his assistant.

James hurriedly answered it.

The assistant was in a fluster as she reported, “Sir, something bad has happened. All your assets, including the bank accounts, have been frozen. Please return to the company now. All the employees are on strike. They’re demanding their salaries.”

James’ face turned ghastly white.

All my assets have been frozen! That was exactly what Zeke threatened to do! Gosh, is this really their doing?

Serena had not overheard the phone conversation, so she was still clueless about what had happened.

Hence, she continued to urge him, “James, who called you just now? Did the bank call to apologize?”

Of course, James could not bear to tell her the truth, fearing that she would leave him the moment she learnt of his current situation.

Taking in a deep breath, he replied, “The company has run into some issues. But don’t worry. Everything will be fine by tomorrow.”

Huh?

Serena’s face fell in disappointment.

Zeke could not help but burst out laughing. “Gosh, you are really great at spinning stories! Just admit that your company has run into financial troubles and is now bankrupt.”

James was at a loss for words.

Serena chided Zeke, “Stand aside, you stupid thief. Even if James is bankrupt, he is still way better than you by over a hundred million times!”

Really?

Zeke snickered. “Swipe this card. I want to buy all the villas here. Let me see how he’s better than me by over a hundred million times.”

The sales agents were in a despondent mood by now.

We have sucked up to James and Serena for over an hour, only for our efforts to come to naught! What a waste of our time!

After a moment of hesitation, the sales agent decided to swipe Zeke’s card.

Perhaps there will be a miracle?

The action of the sales agent antagonized Serena, who chided, “Shame on you guys! A thief like him will never be so rich even if he steals from a tycoon! Yet, you guys really swiped his card...”

At that moment, the card reader beeped and announced clearly, “Transaction successful.”

What!

Everyone in the showroom was dumbfounded and gathered around the card reader in shock.
