Then, Dorian said immediately, “I received a notification here that says the money has been transferred.”Elaine quickly opened the mobile banking app on her phone to check. She frowned frustratedly and asked, “Why haven’t I received it yet?”“Oh, don’t worry, this is 21.9 billion, after all. When such a large amount of money is involved, the banking system has to repeatedly confirm the transaction and also report it to the headquarters for filing purposes, so it will take a while for the transfer to complete.”Elaine growled in frustration. “Oh my god, are you kidding me? Do I have to wait? How long do I have to wait?!”“I’m not sure, it will take either tens of minutes or maybe up to one working day”“Oh my god, why does it take so long? Hurry and urge the system to work faster or I’ll order the Citibank to fire you!”“It’s not up to me to control it, it’s the decision from the headquarters. My hands are tied even if you sue me in court…”From the looks of it, Elaine determine

Charlie, who had always been calm and steady, couldn’t help being dumbfounded when he saw the message!There were a total of 21.9 billion deposited in his Citibank black card.Among that was the ten billion that had been originally in the account when Stephen first gave him the card.Then, there was the ten billion that he had exploited from Masao Kobayashi, and one billion he obtained from Jiro Kobayashi after his father’s death.There was also the one billion he had received from Lord Moore that he didn’t know how to deal with, so he had deposited the money into the card.Hence, he had a balance of twenty two billion in his account. But since he didn’t spend much of the money, there were 21.9 billion plus tens of millions in change.But now, someone had transferred 21.9 billion away! Who had done it?!The first person he thought of was the Wade family.Did they decide to take back his card because he was unwilling to return to the family for so long?No, it was highly unlike

“Okay.” Charlie felt relieved as well.Two minutes after he ended the call, he received another text message that said, “Dear Mr. Charlie Wade, a total of $21,900,000,000.00 has been credited to your black card account at 15:06 today.”Charlie finally calmed down with the money back in his hands.Then, another serious question arose in his mind.Elaine had stolen his card, tried out his password, and saw the shocking balance in his card.What if Claire found out about it? How would he explain it to her?!Charlie’s expression became more and more eerie.‘Elaine, I’ve endured your nasty attitude towards me for so long because you were Claire’s mother, but you were playing with fire today.’‘I wouldn’t let you go easily today!’Determined, he made another call to Isaac.As soon as the call was answered, Isaac’s respectful voice resonated. “Mr. Wade, how may I help you?”Charlie uttered angrily, “My nasty mother-in-law has stolen my card and ransacked my money, 21.9 billion in t

Dorian was frightened by Elaine’s threat and said helplessly, “I can help you check on the progress, but if the transaction has been reported to the headquarters, there is nothing more I can do.”Elaine gritted her teeth in frustration. She splashed the coffee on his face and shouted, “Hurry then! What are you still doing here? I’m in a hurry!”Dorian screamed in pain. Fortunately, the coffee was not very hot, or he would have been scalded badly otherwise.He was so furious and agitated by now, but he didn’t dare to provoke the so-called VIP, so he said humbly, “Please wait a moment, I’ll check the transaction’s progress now.”Then, he logged into the system and uttered in surprise, “Oh? This is so strange. The system indicated that the transaction has been canceled and the money has been refunded.”“What the hell? Where has the money been refunded?”“To you black card, it’s in your account now.”“What?!” Elaine swung her hand wildly and slapped Dorian across the face. “What the

Elaine shrieked frantically, “No, the card isn’t mine, it belongs to my son-in-law and his name is Charlie Wade! There must be some misunderstanding!”The officer said coldly, “This card was forged by an overseas criminal group with a very high-tech team! They’ve used it to defraud banks of huge amounts of money! We’ve been investigating and tracking this major transnational case in conjunction with the International Criminal Police Organization in twenty-three countries for two years, and now we have finally caught up with you! The evidence is here, what else do you want to say?!”Elaine gaped in utter shock, devastated!Was the card forged?!No wonder!It was absolutely impossible a loser like Charlie would have so much money in his account!It was all a scam! A fraud!More importantly, it seemed that the card was involved in some sort of a major transnational case?!A joint investigation with Interpol in twenty-three countries? It sounded like quite a huge team, didn’t it? I

As soon as they arrived at the Aurous Police Station, Elaine was taken directly to the interrogation room at the Regional Crime Unit.She trembled in shock when she saw the words ‘Regional Crime Unit’ print on the door.Elaine was on the verge of collapse as she was dragged to the interrogation room like a defeated hen in a cockfight.The officers pushed her down on the chair in the interrogation room and shone the incandescent light on her face.In front of her were several officers from the crime unit.One of them started in a cold voice, “Elaine Wilson, you are now the first and only suspect in an overseas high-tech criminal gang. I advise you to be truthful and tell us everything about your criminal process. Otherwise, what awaits are the fair trial and justice.”Elaine started wailing again. “Officers, I swear, you get the wrong person! Charlie Wade is the suspect… no, he is a criminal, I am a law-abiding citizen. I stole the card from his jacket, it wasn’t me!”“Do you thi
Chapter 820
The three detention centers in Aurous Police Station served their respective purpose. One was for detaining male suspects and one was for female suspects, while the other was for juvenile suspects.After the four members of the Wilson were arrested, they were sent to two detention centers, with Lady Wilson and Wendy sent to the women’s detention center while Christopher and Harold were sent to the men’s detention center.Lady Wilson felt itchy and tingling when she first entered the cell. She sat on the thin bed, recalling her recent tragic happenings.This period of time was the greatest and most devastating catastrophe for Lady Wilson and the Wilson family. All her hard work and assets had been confiscated by the court, her own son refused to let her live in the Thompson First villa, and he had even called the police to arrest her! She was getting more and more irritated as she thought about it.Sitting cross-legged on the bed, she slapped the bed in despair and wailed loudly, “A

Jennifer’s remark immediately aroused the anger of the people around her! They started to cheer with righteous indignation!Although everyone was a prisoner, the people here generally had not committed serious crimes nor were they wicked people. They had an instinctive sympathy towards the old and weak.When they looked at Lady Wilson with her grayish hair and wrinkled face talking about her pathetic life in the sobbing tone, they couldn’t help but believe her words.Hence, everyone started condemning the ‘perpetrators’ in unison.“How dare they abandon such an old mother? They are nothing but a bunch of scumbags!”“You’re right! They get to live in a million-dollar villa but they can’t even spare an empty room for the old lady. They are so disgusting!”“Ma’am, don’t worry, karma’s a b*tch and it will haunt your d*mned daughter-in-law soon!”Tears drenched Lady Wilson’s face. “Thank you for your concern and support, thank you so much! I didn’t expect to meet so many good people
