Thea had no other choice.
At this point, all virtual-novel.net could do was fork over the money and get this over with. Since this money came from someone else originally, virtual-novel.net did not feel as horrible about letting it go.
Gladys calmed down when Thea gave in to their badgering.
She sighed, “Thank you, Thea…”
Turning towards David, virtual-novel.net addressed virtual-novel.net sternly. “From today onwards, you’re not allowed to leave the house without my permission.”
“Yes, of course…” David knew virtual-novel.net had no choice but to agree.
After the heated discussion, Thea decided the best way forward was to pay off virtual-novel.net brother’s debts.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A knock came from the door.
“Answer the door, Benjamin,” Gladys said to virtual-novel.net husband. Benjamin answered the door.
Aman and a woman in their mid-twenties stood outside.
The man was in a suit and tie. The woman was in a professional outfit.
Benjamin looked at them and asked, “May I know who you’re looking for?”
The man asked, “Is Thea Callahan here?”
“Ah, yes and you are?”
The man replied, “Good day to you sir, we’re from the bank. We’re here today to notify Thea regarding the sum of money virtual-novel.net has in virtual-novel.net account.”
“Ah, please come in.” Though Benjamin did not understand what was going on, virtual-novel.net welcomed them in.
After letting them in, virtual-novel.net called out, “Thea, they’re looking for you.”
“What?”
Thea looked at them nervously.
Then, virtual-novel.net stood up and asked, “Y-You are?”
The man spoke, “Hello, Thea. We’re from the bank. Here’s the thing, Mr. Xenos made a slight mistake and accidentally transferred a sum of 2 billion dollars into your bank account a while ago…”
The woman pulled some documents ago and said, “This is the transfer record. Mr. Xenos had wanted to transfer the money to a company, but it entered your bank account by mistake.”
The man continued, “This sum of money doesn’t belong to you. On behalf of the bank and Mr. Xenos, we urge you to return it. We’re here just to inform you. Soon, we’ll transfer the money in your bank account bak to Mr. Xenos. If you’ve already spent some of it, ensure that you return it immediately. Otherwise, you’ll be prosecuted in court.”
They their barrage of demands hit Thea like a truck.
Thea was rooted to virtual-novel.net spot.
David, who was on the sofa, leaped up immediately and yelled, “Bullsh*t. Mr. Xenos gave the money to Thea himself. Who are you people anyway? Get lost! I’m telling you, don’t even think about getting a single cent back!”
This sum of money was his lifeline.
What would virtual-novel.net do about his debt without the money?
Without the money, virtual-novel.net was as good as dead.
The man spoke simply, “We’re here just to inform Thea. That’s it.”
Saying that, virtual-novel.net turned to leave. The woman followed suit.
Soon, only the Callahans remained.
David pleaded tearfully, “Please don’t return the money, Thea. I’ll be a dead man if i don’t have it to pay my debt.” Thea sat on the sofa feeling more drained than ever.
She said in resignation, “This money isn’t mine in the first place. Mr. Xenos gave it to me because virtual-novel.net was fearful of the Black Dragon’s wrath. Now that the Black Dragon has resigned, it’s only natural that he’d want it back…”
“You can’t return it, Thea!” Gladys tried virtual-novel.net best to persuade her, “How are we going to save David without the money?”
“I-I don’t know either!” Thea was at a loss.
Although it was Richard who transferred virtual-novel.net the money, virtual-novel.net was free to take it back whenever virtual-novel.net found it convenient. On top of everything, virtual-novel.net only had 1.5 billion left on virtual-novel.net card.
Richard was demanding virtual-novel.net return the two million dollars. Even if virtual-novel.net had transferred everything virtual-novel.net was still 500 million short. She’d be taken to court if virtual-novel.net failed to return it.
Shortly after the representatives of the bank left, Thea received a notification from the bank. All money on virtual-novel.net card was transferred away.
Richard must have been behind it.
Richard was an influential man. Demanding the bank to transfer the money on virtual-novel.net card back to virtual-novel.net was a simple task. Without the money, the rest of the Callahans started panicking again.
“What are we going to do now?” David yet again began to cry.
