After some thought, she went to her text messages.
She typed and erased, erased and typed. In the end, only two words remained on the screen: "Thank you."
Regardless, Kris Cooper had helped her solve an urgent problem.
Her family’s old home was in an alley near a lake, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Siheyuans in the Imperial City were already rare and valuable, let alone their old residence where a prince had once lived. Even if she could use the bank’s money, it wouldn’t be nearly enough. Without his money, she wouldn’t have even dared to dream of buying back the house.
After sending the text, she checked the time on her phone and quickened her pace, leaving the residential complex.
Tomorrow was the auction day. She had to transfer the money to her card today to be able to bid at the courthouse auction tomorrow.
Exiting the complex, she glanced at the bank diagonally across the street, gritted her teeth, and hailed a taxi.
Hadn’t Robert Taylor said that if she brought one million, he’d kneel to take her deposit? This time, she was determined to make him kneel!
The taxi stopped outside the bank where Robert Taylor worked. Vera Wave stepped out of the taxi with her bag, looked up at the towering bank building before her, and strode confidently into the lobby.
"Miss, if you’re here for a transaction, please swipe your card to get a ticket number!" a staff member greeted her with a smile as she entered.
Vera Wave didn’t get a number. Instead, she took the book containing the check from her bag. Opening it, she carefully pinched the check between her fingers and presented it to the staff member.
"Please, could you call Bank Manager Cameron Wilton? I need him to personally handle this deposit. If he doesn’t come, I’ll take my business elsewhere."
The puzzled staff member leaned in to look at the check. Upon seeing the amount on it, their expression changed instantly.
"Miss, shall I escort you to the VIP room?"
"No need, I’ll wait here!"
"Alright, then please wait a moment."
The staff member hurried off to find the Duty Manager and quickly explained the situation. The Duty Manager personally brought Vera Wave a glass of water.
"Miss, may I ask your name?"
"Miss Yi, then... may I see your check?"
Vera Wave knew he was skeptical, so she handed him the check.
The Duty Manager carefully examined the check. The amount was indeed one hundred million. The seals at the bottom were clear, and all anti-counterfeiting marks were present.
From his experience, he could tell this check was definitely not fake. For more chapters visit N0velFire.ɴet
One hundred million! That was a full one hundred million!
Even for Manager Zhou, who dealt with money daily, this was an astronomical sum. In his ten years at the bank, this was the first time he’d ever seen someone bring such a large check directly into the banking hall.
The fact that she mentioned Bank Manager Cameron Wilton by name immediately suggested she was familiar with the bank’s senior management and was no ordinary person.
Handing the check back to Vera Wave, Manager Zhou’s tone became even more respectful.
"Please hold onto the check. I’ll call Bank Manager Wilton immediately."
Ordering his subordinates to attend to Vera Wave, Manager Zhou stepped aside, took out his phone, and dialed Bank Manager Cameron Wilton.
It was almost the end of the month, time to report to the Head Office. If they could secure a one-hundred-million deposit now, it would be a huge achievement for the branch. Even Bank Manager Cameron Wilton couldn’t easily attract such a large deposit. Hearing that such an important client had arrived, how could he not come down personally?
