Chapter 15: Supreme VIP

“Please have a seat first, sir. I’ll go and get the manager at once!”

The staff did a one-eighty in terms of his attitude toward David when he glimpsed the bank card in the man’s hand.

“Okay.”

Nodding, David took a seat at the side while the staff hastily went to get the manager. Delilah was baffled at that turn of events, and she couldn’t quite figure out why the bank staff became so courteous toward David out of the blue.

“Do you really have ten million, David?” she asked David skeptically after seeing the staff’s sudden change in attitude.

“What has that got to do with you?” David sneered.

“David, let me tell you that forging a bank card is a crime! How could you possibly have ten million when you’re an ex-convict? Don’t think I’m unaware that your family is still living in that old neighborhood, and your father is currently sweeping the streets! How could you have ten million?”

Of course, Delilah didn’t believe that he truly had ten million. If he really has that much money, would he still be living in that crappy neighborhood?

Besides, he had just gotten out of prison, so he can’t possibly have made ten million in a few days!

Hah!

He must be deliberately putting on a show in front of me, thus saying that to fool me! When the other customers in the bank heard her remark, they all cast curious glances at David.

These days, all cash withdrawals are made via bank cards, and a simple check will tell whether there’s money in the card.

There can’t be someone so foolish as to forge a bank card, no? Shortly after, the bank staff who had just left returned with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was wearing glasses and seemed to be in a hurry.

“Hello, sir. I’m the bank manager. How may I help you?” the middle-aged man inquired politely after walking over to David.

“I’d like to withdraw one point three million, but I don’t have an appointment. Can I still make the withdrawal?”

While speaking, David handed the bank card to the bank manager. The moment the bank manager saw the card, his expression changed slightly.

“Sure! You don’t need to make an appointment, sir. However, we presently don’t have that much cash on hand. I’ll have someone deliver some money over from other branches right away. Please adjourn to my office while you wait, sir.”

David nodded and got up to head to the man’s office to wait. Seeing that, Delilah was entirely dumbfounded.

She stepped forward and blocked the bank manager’s path, screeching, “What’s wrong with this bank? Why can he make a withdrawal when he doesn’t have an appointment? He’s merely an ex-convict, and you just agreed without even checking whether there’s any money in his bank card? If that’s the case, I also want to withdraw a million right now!”

After having bellowed at the man, she turned to her boyfriend and urged, “Let’s also make a withdrawal of a million, Darling!”

Brayden strode over and swept his gaze over David.

Then, he whipped out a bank card and handed it to the bank manager.

“There’s likewise ten million in this card, and I also want to withdraw a million now.”

Alas, the bank manager didn’t even spare it a glance, merely replying placidly, “I’m sorry, but that’s not possible without an appointment.”

That answer had Delilah flipping her lid. Argh! He clearly has double standards! David can withdraw money without an appointment when he has ten million in his bank card.

Our bank card also has ten million, yet we need to make an appointment?!

“What kind of crappy bank is this? I want to lodge a complaint! Why do we need an appointment when he doesn’t need one? We also have ten million in the bank card! Didn’t you hear that?” she roared at the bank manager.

“This gentleman is a supreme VIP client of this bank, so he doesn’t need an appointment. You both, on the other hand, are merely ordinary clients. As such, there’s no comparison,” the bank manager explained indifferently.

Upon hearing that, Delilah almost burst a blood vessel. She shot daggers at the man.

“He’s a supreme VIP client? Are you making a mistake here? He’s merely an ex-convict who had just been released from prison!”

“This gentleman’s bank card is a customized card issued to the Sullivan family. We only acknowledge the card and not the person. Do you think the two of you can compare with the Sullivan family?”

A glimmer of contempt flittered across the eyes of the bank manager. His words stunned Delilah for a moment while the people around them exclaimed in awe.

After all, the Sullivan family was the wealthiest family in Horington.

As such, it was no wonder that the staff earlier changed his attitude instantly when he glimpsed the bank card in David’s hand.

When one had a bank card issued to the Sullivan family, the bank would even send someone to personally deliver the money with a single phone call, much less coming to the bank in person to make a withdrawal. All banks competed among themselves for such a client. The instant Brayden heard that David was in possession of a customized bank card issued to the Sullivan family, he went as pale as a sheet.
