Chapter 49
Back at the construction site, Amber beamed with joy as she successfully arranged the project. She prepared herself to face tough challenges when she arrived at the site, but things had gone surprisingly smoothly. Even the subcontractors, who previously gave her the cold shoulder, seemed to show a degree of respect and even flattery.
Amber cast a discreet glance at Alexander not too far away, feeling deeply moved. She was sure Alexander’s earlier intervention brought them all in line.
“Make sure to keep an eye on this area. Report any issues to me immediately.” Amber instructed before approaching Alexander.
Just a few steps into her walk, her phone rang. She quickly checked the caller ID and answered the call with a soft smile, saying, “Hey, Mom! | just finished work. I'll be back in a little while-”
Susanne’s sobs interrupted her. “Help me, Amber! These people are accusing me of something | never did! You see...” Susanne described everything that happened at the bank between sobs.
“Let's go!” Alexander, overhearing their conversation, swiftly pulled Amber along and rushed to their car.
With the engine ignited, their Porsche shot forward like a bullet as they headed straight for the bank.
Amber’s heart ached as they drove. Tears streamed down her face as she said, “My mom has never been wrongly accused like this before. She’s a prideful woman! This matter will surely...”
Amber could not believe that Susanne was falsely accused of being a thief by the bank and was being handed over to the police. This might as well be a death sentence.
Although they had little savings and struggled financially, they would never resort to illegal and shameful activities.
“My dad has never even scolded her since they got married, yet those staff at the bank...”
Amber covered her face and cried in frustration.
Alexander gripped the steering wheel tightly, his expression icy as he sped toward the bank at maximum speed.
Meanwhile, in Jamie’s office...
Susanne, face stained with blood and her hair tousled, buried her head in her arms, trembling with sobs.
“Have you called your family? Hmph! You're a thief, and your whole family is no good. In a while, we'll send all of you to the police station!”
Jamie crossed his arms, his face full of disdain.
The tough alloy security door of the office was kicked open from the outside with tremendous force.
“What the hell? Who is that?! How dare they cause trouble here!”
The two security guards reacted reflexively, drawing their rubber batons and swinging them down forcefully. “Fuck off!”
Alexander did not bother to dodge and threw powerful punches.
Before the security guards even processed Alexander’s movements, they found themselves beaten bloody. They were sent crashing into the wall, leaving a trail of blood and broken teeth on the floor.
This shocking scene stunned Jamie and Cindy, and they quivered with terror.
“S—Security! Help, quick! We need help!”
Alexander snorted and grabbed Jamie by his suit collar, lifting him into the air with a single hand.
“How dare you mess with my mother. You’re digging your own grave!”
Jamie trembled in fear, unable to utter a single word.
Was this the son of the so-called ‘thief? How terrifyingly brutal!
“Y... Your mother stole someone else’s card, yet you still dare to cause trouble! I'll report this to the police—argn!”
Cindy stuttered as she attempted to take out her phone, but Alexander delivered a backhanded slap that sent her sprawling to the ground.
Jamie’s eyes were wide with shock, and he found himself wetting his pants out of sheer fright.
Did she just accuse them of stealing someone else’s card?
Alexander glanced at the Centurion card in Jamie’s hand.
This was clearly his card!Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“You mean this one?” Alexander stared at the card and said in a cold, low voice, “This card is my mother’s allowance! You call it stealing?
How foolish!”
Jamie was initially stunned, but a mix of anger and embarrassment quickly washed over him, and he burst into laughter. “Do you even know what this card is? And you called it an allowance? You're just spouting nonsense!”
This prestigious card had a minimum balance requirement of 150 million dollars, which was a higher value than that of a medium-sized publicly traded company! This man dared to call it an ‘allowance’?
He should have come up with a better lie! Jamie thought Alexander must be foolish to think he was clueless. “Hmph!”
Alexander had no patience for Jamie’s antics. He tossed him aside with a flick and then took out his phone, quickly dialing an international number. He sternly said, “Get your CEO on the line!”
This was a direct line set up by the American Express headquarters for the convenience of their top-tier clients worldwide. Soon, a familiar voice came from the other end.
“Right, why did you suddenly call-”
Alexander did not wait for him to finish and scolded, “Yohannes, | need an explanation. One of your underlings is acting all high and mighty, even bullying my mother! It seems I’m no longer worthy of the Centurion card you gave me, huh?”
On the other end of the phone, Yohannes was so shocked that he spilled coffee all over.
He quickly shot a fiery glare at his assistant. “Investigate this matter! Hurry! Don’t waste a single second! We can’t afford to offend this
man!”
