Chapter 557
“What’s wrong with my card?” Martha was anxious. She tried to crane her 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 she encountered this. There were two big red words on her 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, he was puzzled as well. He had been working here for 20 years but never encountered
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis 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, he 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 her 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 she walked was classy.
It was obvious that she was from the administrative division. “Yes, I am. You are?” When Martha saw
them, she 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 she
looked solemn. Martha was terrified. In the end, she was taken away by the two of them before she
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 she 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, her phone had been confiscated. She could not tell Wynn where she was. At this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmoment, she finally realized how great Philip was. If Philip was here, he 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 her 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 she arrived at that place, she finally knew where she was. It was a huge manor! It looked
as extravagant as a palace. Then, she timidly followed the two of them who were walking in front of her 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 her head and did not dare to wander around. Even her calves were trembling.
She was petrified. Where was this place?
