“What’s wrong with my card?”
Martha was anxious. She tried to crane virtual-novel.net neck over to the other end of the glass to see what was on the computer screen.
“Madam, I’m sorry. We can’t check the balance of your card for the time being. Plus, our branch doesn’t have the permission to check your card. You need to go to our headquarters.”
The woman behind the counter said apologetically.
This was the first time virtual-novel.net encountered this.
There were two big red words on virtual-novel.net computer screen that spelled out ‘No permission’.
What was going on?
“Why is this happening? Can you try checking it again? I remember seeing a lot of money on this card previously.”
Martha refused to give up.
The woman behind the counter did not know what to do as well. She got up and fetched the manager.
When the manager got here and saw the words ‘no permission’ on the screen, virtual-novel.net was puzzled as well.
He had been working here for 20 years but never encountered this before.
He even asked Martha to reenter the pin. However, it was still the same result.
“Madam, please wait. I’ll call the headquarters.”
The manager said politely.
Martha was angry. She shrieked, “No! What stupid bank is this? How is it possible that you can’t check the balance?”
The manager was frustrated as well. He made the call, and after getting a reply, virtual-novel.net took Martha to the VIP room.
“Madam, hello. Please wait here for a while. Someone will be with you shortly.”
The manager said courteously.
Martha was sitting in the VIP room, feeling extremely smug.
This was virtual-novel.net first time in the VIP room. Was there a lot of money on this card?
“You’d better hurry up. I need to get back soon.”
Martha mumbled unhappily.
After more than ten minutes, the door of the VIP room was pushed open. A man and a woman walked in. They were both wearing black office attire.
“Are you Martha Yates?”
The woman appeared to be the more senior employee. She looked serious. She had a short bob and was slender. The way virtual-novel.net walked was classy. It was obvious that virtual-novel.net was from the administrative division.
“Yes, I am. You are?”
When Martha saw them, virtual-novel.net was shocked. She was not blind. There was the air of government officials coming from the two of them.
“Please cooperate with us and follow us,” the woman said. Her voice was frigid and virtual-novel.net looked solemn.
Martha was terrified.
In the end, virtual-novel.net was taken away by the two of them before virtual-novel.net could say anything.
After they got out of the bank, they got into a black Audi.
Martha was feeling guilty and frantic. She kept asking while virtual-novel.net was in the car, “No, I didn’t do anything. What are you doing? I want to get out. I want to go home. You’re detaining me unlawfully!”
However, the woman in the passenger seat looked at the rearview mirror coldly and said, “You’re involved in the illegal transfer of assets. We need to take you back for questioning. I hope you cooperate with us so that we won’t have to take extreme measures with you.”
That statement was incredibly powerful.
Martha understood and shut up in fear.
She looked at the scenery outside the car. In addition to that, virtual-novel.net phone had been confiscated. She could not tell Wynn where virtual-novel.net was.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net finally realized how great Philip was.
If Philip was here, virtual-novel.net would definitely have a plan.
After looking for a long while, Martha realized something was amiss. Why did the car drive over Scarlet Bridge and into the mountain?
“Where are we going? Who are you? I want to get out!”
Martha was terrified. She kept slamming virtual-novel.net hands on the car door while screaming.
However, the man and woman in front pretended not to hear her.
“Shut up! Madam wants to see you,” the woman said coldly. Her eyes were icy.
Madam?
Martha was stunned.
When virtual-novel.net arrived at that place, virtual-novel.net finally knew where virtual-novel.net was.
It was a huge manor!
It looked as extravagant as a palace.
Then, virtual-novel.net timidly followed the two of them who were walking in front of virtual-novel.net and got into the manor.
Inside the hall, there were two rows of bodyguards who were all wearing black suits. They had their hands behind their backs and looked extremely beefy.
There were more than ten bodyguards!
She could estimate the width of the hall just from looking at them.
Martha stood inside the hall. She lowered virtual-novel.net head and did not dare to wander around. Even virtual-novel.net calves were trembling.
She was petrified. Where was this place?
