2025-01-20 14:14:18Seeing Raymond refusing the check, Dahlia’s lips parted slightly, surprise flashing across her face.
She hadn’t expected him to let go so easily, without argument or demands.
However, for a moment, she felt a pang of loss, a strange emptiness she couldn’t quite name.
But she convinced herself that this was the right decision.
Their lives were heading in different directions, and there was no point in holding onto a relationship that no longer worked.
Without another word she left with Caleb.
Raymond stared at the divorce papers he’d just signed. The ink was barely dry, but the words felt like they’d carved into his heart.
Was money really that important?
He clenched his fists and let out a bitter laugh.
However at that moment, Sophia's words suddenly occurred to him.
“Your wealth is infinite. If you don't believe me, check the balance.”
Infinite wealth?
He frowned. Though it seemed absurd to him, it wouldn't hurt if he went to check it out.
After all, he had nothing else to lose.
Without wasting any more time he grabbed his jacket, and placed the card in his pocket heading towards Sky High Bank.
Not long after he arrived.
As he approached the glass doors, a sharp voice cut through the air.
“Well, if it isn’t Raymond.” a familiar voice sneered.
He turned to see Dahlia’s mother and younger sister stepping out from inside the bank and looking at him with disdain.
“You must have really hit rock bottom if you’re here this quickly,” her sister said with a smirk.
“What are you doing at a place like this? Looking for a loan?”
Raymond straightened, his jaw tightening.
“I’m here for my own reasons,” he said evenly.
Dahlia’s mother let out a laugh, her perfectly manicured nails glinting in the sunlight as she gestured dismissively.
“Your reasons? Who are you trying to deceive, we know you came here to beg for a loan.”
Immediately Dahlia's sister chimed in, her tone dripping with mock sympathy.
“Honestly, we’re just glad she’s free of you now. You were always a burden. ”
Raymond glanced at her, his hands tightening into fists at his sides.
“ I’m here to conduct business at this bank. Please just get out of my way. ”
Hearing what Raymond just said, Dahlia’s mother let out a cold laugh, her disdain cutting through the air.
“Business? You? At this bank?” She exchanged a mocking glance with her daughter before turning back to Raymond.
“Do you even know where you are? This is Sky High Bank, the largest bank in the country. People like you don’t belong here.”
Her daughter chimed in, her tone dripping with arrogance.
“And do you even know what it takes to have an account here? Even a basic bronze card requires a deposit of at least one million.”
She leaned closer, her smirk widening.
“Owning a card here is a status symbol. But you?” She laughed, shaking her head. “You’re nothing. You're not even qualified to be a cleaner in this place.”
At that moment Dahlia's mother brought out her bronze card and showed it off to Raymond.
“You see this?Celeb helped us get it. He’s much better than you. And I’m so glad that my daughter has chosen him over you.”
Raymond sneered, not caring about what card they had at all.
He didn’t want to waste any more time with them, reached into his pocket and pulled out the black card Sophia had given him earlier, planning to get into the bank directly.
However, Dahlia’s mother and sister froze immediately as they saw the card in Raymond's hand.
“The Supreme Black Card? !”
Dahlia’s mother exclaimed with shock.
Raymond’s grip tightened on the card as Dahlia’s mother lunged forward, her hand reaching for his. “That card doesn’t belong to you!” she snapped, her voice shrill.
Immediately Raymond stepped back instinctively, keeping the card out of her reach.
“What are you doing?” he asked, his tone calm.
“You can’t have that card . You’ve stolen it, haven’t you?! ”
“It’s not stolen,” he said simply.
Dalia’s mother scoffed, clearly didn’t believe what he said. Immediately she lunged again, her movements frantic and uncoordinated.
Raymond dodged her grasp, but in the struggle, she lost her balance. Her heel slipped against the floor, and she went down with a loud thud.
Seeing what just happened, a gasp escaped her daughter’s lips as she rushed to her mother’s side.
“Mom! Are you okay?”
Dahlia’s mother winced, holding her ankle, her face twisted in pain. “You—” she pointed a trembling finger at Raymond, her voice filled with venom. “You attacked me!”
Raymond blinked in disbelief.
“I didn’t touch you. You fell on your own.”
But his words fell on deaf ears. Dahlia’s sister had started barking orders to the nearby security guards.
“Arrest him! He just hurt my mother!”

The security guards, tall and imposing in their uniforms, approached quickly.At that moment one of them stepped forward, his expression neutral but authoritative. “Sir, we’ve received a report of an assault. I need you to come with us.”Raymond raised his hands slightly, showing him the card, his voice steady. “I didn’t assault anyone. I’m here to conduct business at this bank.”Seeing the card in his hand, the security guard was shocked and stopped immediately.“A Supreme Black Card?” his eyes widened, skepticism clear in his tone. “Is this true?”This was the highest level card in this bank and this was the first time that he had ever seen it in person.But when looking at Raymond again, he hesitated. He didn’t look like a man who could own such a card at all.At this moment, Dahlia’s mother’s laughter rang out, sharp and cutting through the air like a blade.“Oh come on, stop lying! The supreme black card belongs to the most powerful people in the world. Do you really think anyo

Dahlia’s mother and sister stood in stunned silence, their faces pale. The weight of Malisa’s words hit them like a hammer, shattering their arrogance into fragments.“Revoked?” Dahlia’s mother stammered, her voice trembling. “you can’t do this,” Dahlia’s sister sputtered, her earlier sneer replaced by wide-eyed disbelief. Her voice cracked, but Malisa’s icy glare stopped her from saying more.Malisa’s lips curled into a faint, cold smile. “I already have.” The scene felt heavier as the gravity of their loss sank in. Membership at this bank wasn’t just about convenience—it was a symbol of status, of power, and losing it was a blow that would echo across their social and business lives. For a family that thrived on connections and reputation, this was devastation.“Madam, please—” Dahlia’s mother begged, her voice faltering, but Malisa’s icy gaze froze her mid-sentence.“Don’t waste my time,” Malisa said sharply, cutting her off. “You’ve already wasted enough of it.”Dahlia’s sister

His breath caught in his throat as he stared at the screen.He instinctively took a step back. “This… this has to be a mistake.”Malisa, standing beside him, leaned in slightly to confirm the balance for herself.Immediately her eyes widened, but she quickly masked her surprise with a composed smile. “There won't be any mistakes, Mr. Raymond."Raymond leaned back, his mind racing. That woman hadn't lied. He was indeed wealthy, so it meant that what she said about his past might be true…But why did he lose his memory? What happened to him? Was there any conspiracy behind this?His eyes narrowed. He would find these things out and take back everything that belonged to him!Then Raymond glanced at Malisa, gave her a brief nod. “Thanks for stepping in back there. I wasn’t expecting things to get that out of hand.”Malisa offered a polite smile, her tone light yet professional. “It was no big deal, Mr. Raymond. They were completely out of line, and the situation needed to be handled.”

“Then why are you here?” she demanded, believing he was just lying.“To attend the auction,” Raymond replied simply, his voice steady.Immediately Dahlia’s jaw tightened, disbelief flashing across her face. “You’re attending the auction?” she repeated, as if the words themselves were ridiculous. “Raymond, do you even hear yourself? You’re making a fool of yourself. Just return the card and stop this before it gets worse.”Raymond’s gaze remained steady, his voice calm but firm. “I don’t need your concern, Dahlia. You’ve already made it clear where we stand.”Seeing Raymond's attitude Caleb smirked with disdain.“You should leave,” he said, his tone dripping with superiority. “This place isn’t for people like you. You’ll only embarrass yourself further. And Dahlia—stop wasting your time on him. The last thing you need is to be associated with his mess. It’s wise of you to have dumped him. No women would like to be with such trash!”However, before Raymond could respond, a voice cut th

Upon hearing what Raymond just said.Caleb’s face darkened, his jaw tightening as he glared at Raymond. It was clearly a deliberate provocation to him. “Yours?
