Chapter 17
Diane sighed deeply after the meeting was over.
Even he himself did not expect it to go so smoothly.
The project manager was difficult to work with during his last few visits.
He looked at Ethan standing at the door. He must have scared them before.
"You guys keep an eye on this side, let me know first thing if anything happens."
Diane finished her instructions and walked out.
She sees that Ethan keeps looking at her and she starts to blush, returning to her shy self again.
"Why do you keep looking at me?"
"You are beautiful" replied Ethan.
Geez, does this uncle always praise others directly?
Do homeless people rely on fluent tongues to get food?
Dian's phone started ringing.
He ejected. It was April.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
She immediately heard her mother's miserable cry on the other side and her face instantly darkened. "Mom! What the hell's going on? Who hit you? I'll be there soon!"
Diane's eyes are reddened. "Someone hit my mom!"
Ethan immediately frowned. "Get in the car!"
The BMW engine echoed loudly like it was in a rage as well. Ethan turned sharply and headed for the bank.
On the way, Diane could not help but cry.
"My mom has never been bullied this bad before, she's a strong person ..."
April has been detained by the bank and they accuse her of stealing. How did this happen?
Even if his family had to starve to death because of their poverty, they would never bow this low.
"Even my father couldn't bear to scold her. Someone really has the guts to hit him."
Ethan did not say a word, and stepped on the accelerator harder.
Return to the general manager's office at the bank.
April's hair was messy and there were still finger marks on her face. After she hung up the phone, she did not say anything else but continued to cry.
"If your family cannot explain this, then we have no choice but to call the police," the general manager told him coldly.
Just as he finished speaking, the office door was kicked open. The door almost broke into pieces!
"Who are you!"
The two security guards saw that they had a cruel guest and took out their Taser.
The general manager and teller turned pale from fear. "Security! Where's the security guard! Call everyone!"
Ethan just came forward and grabbed the general manager's collar, his face icy cold. "It's my mom! And you dare to hit him!"
The general manager trembled. He had not expected this aunt's son to be this cruel.
"Your mother stole something and you dared to make trouble! Call the police, hurry...UHH!"
Teller wasn't even done talking when Ethan slapped him. His mouth was filled with blood.
A fierce look at Ethan made the general manager tremble in fear!
"Stole something?"
Ethan sees the cards in the general manager's hand. Isn't that his?
"You mean this card?"
The general manager swallowed and nodded.
"I gave it to buy food. Is there a problem?"
The general manager could not help but laugh coldly when he heard what Ethan said. "Do you know what kind of card this is? Buy groceries? What nonsense!"
This kind of special card requires the card owner to have a billion dollars in the bank. Who uses such a card to buy groceries?
Does he think he managed to become a bank manager by daydreaming?
Ethan loosens his grip and pulls out his phone. He quickly dialed the foreign number and there was a sound on the other side in no time.
"Get your bank union CEO on the line now!"
The call was made quickly. Ethan let out a cold snort, "Theseus, I don't seem to be qualified to use the cards you sent me? A bank manager from one of your subsidiaries is asking me?"
When he heard what Ethan said, the bule man on the other end of the phone immediately shuddered. He signals his staff to use GPS to find Ethan.
Ethan hangs up and walks to April.
"Mom, I'm sorry, it's my fault it's happening to you."
April still did not say a word.
Diane gasped for air as she ran to the office. She sees April crying and feels her heart ache, and runs to hug her.
"Mom, it's okay, it's okay!"
Several dozen security guards had already surrounded the general manager's office.
"Manager! Call police! Catch them all!" screeched at the teller while covering his face.
But the general manager's face was pale.
He saw the number Ethan called earlier. It was the VIP customer service hotline of the global bank union ...
In a short moment, the office phone rang and the general manager felt his body shudder.
He looks at Ethan but Ethan doesn't care about him.
"Hello?"
The general manager picked up the phone hesitantly, and his face grew even paler. "President Reid!"
"Are you really blind? You dare to question the VIP guests of the bank union? I don't want to die even if you want to! I'll retire soon but now I might get fired! Fuck you!"
The other party angrily cursed him. "If you don't finish this properly, I'll kill you!"
As he hung up the phone, the branch manager called and scolded him so loudly, hoping he could get off the phone and bite the general manager to death!
The general manager could not hear what his manager was saying anymore. His entire mind was now empty and exploded.
VIP guests from the bank union?
Ethan said earlier that the union CEO personally sent this card to him?
He could only gulp, then start coughing loudly.
Goddamn hick! He's destined!
"Manager... do we still call the police?" Teller's still trying to instigate it.
"Call the cops?"
The general manager turned around and slapped the teller's face hard. "Call my foot cop! Who treats VIP customers like you!"
The teller screamed and fell to the floor as a tooth slipped off. But he did not dare to say it again.
The general manager immediately knelt down, "Sorry! I'm so sorry! My fault! It's all my fault!"
"I failed to realize who you were and I looked down on you!"
He slapped himself repeatedly. "I hope you can forgive me, please forgive me!"
Ethan can't be bothered. The coldness on his face made the general manager's entire body goosebumps!
He knew that if this aunt did not forgive him, he would have to die here!
These are VIP customers of the bank union, and these cards are even sent in person by the CEO. No place in the world would dare to offend such a customer.
"Auntie, it's my fault, I'm sorry, you can hit me or scold me, but please give me a chance! I beg!"
The general manager crawled to April's place and started prostrating on her. His forehead started bleeding almost instantly.
"Auntie, please let me go, I have a family to take care of and I really can't get into trouble. I'll bear all responsibility otherwise, but please let me go."
April looked at this extremely pitiful looking general manager. He's not like that now.
He was very tired and very upset. He had never been humiliated like this before.
"Dian, I want to go home."
"Mom, I'll take you home."
Diane glanced at Ethan. He nodded and he left with April.
All the security guards at the door immediately made way for them and did not dare to obstruct them at all.
Who would dare now?
Their general manager was still kneeling on the floor!
"Who slapped my mother just now?"
Ethan waits until Diane and April leave before asking.
The guilty security guard had just managed to get up from the floor and his face immediately paled. He felt his heart would stop!
"Whatever hand you use, destroy yourself. Don't bother me to do it for you."
Ethan only glanced at her at a glance, then turned around and left.
As he walked out of the office door, there was a loud cracking sound from within, followed by a blood-curdling scream…
