A moment later, Cameron Wilton appeared in the lobby, followed by his Secretary.
Having met him twice before, Miss Vera recognized him and immediately greeted him with a smile.
Manager Wilton did not remember her well, but he knew she was an important client and feigned recognition.
"Miss Vera, it’s been a long time!"
Vera shook hands with him. "I’m sorry for troubling you to come in person."
"Not at all! We’re in the service industry, after all. Providing the best service to our clients is precisely our job," Manager Wilton responded with a very courteous smile. "Miss Vera, may I invite you to the VIP Hall for a chat?"
"No need." Vera stood her ground. "Your bank has a manager named Robert Taylor. Could I request him to be my wealth manager?"
"Of course." Manager Wilton’s smile was extremely gentle, as if the lady before him were his own daughter. "Given the large amount on your check, we need to verify it. That is acceptable, right?"
Vera handed the check to Manager Wilton, who cautiously gave it to his assistant, then instructed Manager Zhou, "Quick, call Manager Taylor! Tell him to come down immediately!"
It wasn’t uncommon for major clients to have a dedicated bank employee handle their business, especially considering Robert Taylor’s role as a person in charge of high-level clients.
Therefore, a call was soon made to Manager Taylor’s office. Upon hearing Manager Wilton’s order, he dared not delay and hurried downstairs with his assistant, Mina Federick.
Seeing Manager Wilton sitting in a corner of the hall, Robert Taylor jogged over.
"Manager Wilton..." Only after uttering these words did he notice Vera sitting beside him. "Vera?!"
By this time, the assistant had finished validating the check and returned it to Miss Vera before whispering in Manager Wilton’s ear, "It’s been validated. It’s a transfer check from Skywalk Group. It’s authentic."
Vera could tell from Manager Wilton’s expression that there was no issue with the check. She casually placed it on the table and asked, "Manager Taylor, can you take a look at this check for me? How much is it for?"
Robert Taylor glanced at the check in her hand. With Manager Wilton present, he couldn’t say much and briefly inspected it.
Upon seeing the amount, he too was taken aback. He glanced at Vera, then back at the check, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
This little imp’s family is bankrupt! Where could she have gotten so much money? Such an enormous sum... where did it come from?!
If Manager Taylor was shocked, his assistant, Mina Federick, was even more so. A single glance at the amount on the check made her face turn deathly pale.
"May I ask, Miss Vera, how are you planning to handle this sum?" Manager Wilton asked with a smile.
"I think Manager Taylor is the most experienced with this kind of matter!" Vera smiled radiantly at Robert Taylor. "Isn’t that right, Manager Taylor?"
She placed a heavy emphasis on these final words, the implications of which Robert Taylor understood clearly. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novęlfire.net
Robert Taylor swallowed nervously and forced a smile. "That’s right," he said. "If Miss Vera is willing, I will prepare a financial plan for you designed for maximum returns."
"Great!" Vera exclaimed. She took out a card from her wallet and said, "Then please, Manager Taylor, help me fill out a transfer form."
"What are you waiting for?! Go get the form!" Manager Taylor ordered his assistant, Mina Federick. Jolted back to her senses, she hurriedly went to fetch a form.
