Meanwhile, a restless crowd shuffled around inside a bank in downtown, waiting with bated breath.

Ruth was parked at the counter of Starspire Bank.

The teller behind the glass had been handling Ruth with a half-baked attitude, mostly because she seemed so chill.

But then he froze, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

The computer screen lit up with her card balance: $100,000,000!

A hundred million dollars.

He looked at the zeros, his breathing turned quick and shaky.

In his three years at this bank, he'd never seen an account break eight figures.

Usually, once a balance got eight digits, you were a VIP-someone the manager would swoop in to deal with personally.

But now? Nine figures were staring him down-an insane amount of money.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Then he leaned his head a bit, giving Ruth a once-over through the glass.

He scanned her from top to bottom, looking for any sign of wealth. Nothing. She didn't even hint at being loaded.

A greedy spark flickered in his eyes, growing brighter by the second.

A hundred million bucks!

If he could just grab a fraction of that, he'd be golden for life!

He tamped down his excitement, put on a neutral face, and looked at Ruth through the window.

"Where'd you get this card?" he aked.

"My daughter gave it to me," Ruth replied, totally unfazed.

The teller's face clouded over at her response.
