Sylvia cautiously sipped only a few spoonfuls of the medicinal soup, hesitant to consume more. On the contrary, Misty flatly refused to partake, fearing potential over-nourishment."Eric, I came across information online stating that the nutritional value of ashwagandha is comparable to maca. Is that accurate?" asked the naturally curious Brook.Some online voices asserted that the nutritional value of ashwagandha equaled that of maca, casting doubt on the supposed benefits of consuming ashwagandha.Eric glanced at the medicinal soup and suggested, "Brook, why not give it a try? Drink this bowl and see if you notice any difference."Skeptically, Brook raised the bowl and gulped down its contents in one go.Sylvia was taken aback. "Eric, is it safe for Brook to consume so much soup?""He'll be fine," assured Eric with a smile.Brook licked his lips in satisfaction. "It tastes good, but there's no reaction at all. How is it different from normal soup?" he commented, patting his st
Sylvia rose early in the morning, determined to shed a few pounds. Failing to do so would mean enduring the hassle of picking out clothes and having the store measure her size, a process she found quite troublesome.Around noon, Amelia set another table with nourishing dishes.Seeing the spread, Sylvia was at a loss for words.Just then, Eric's phone rang—it was Leopard, and he answered the call."Leopard.""Mr. Johnson, are you in King City? Something happened to Mr. Gurth!"Eric furrowed his brows. "What happened?"After hanging up, Eric turned to Sylvia. "We need to go to King City."Sylvia was thrilled—she could finally escape her current predicament.However, curiosity lingered. "Eric, what happened to Seth?""There's a bit of trouble. His bank account has been frozen. The bank claims he owes them over half a million dollars, and Leopard's men couldn't resolve it," Eric explained.If Leopard couldn't handle it, it was definitely not a small issue.After bidding farewel
Seth was aware of Eric and Sylvia's unique approaches, so he nodded.Consequently, Leopard joined the trio as they headed to King City Bank, a favored institution among affluent families for handling deposits, financial planning, and various transactions.Upon their arrival at the bank, everything appeared ordinary. Perhaps due to the bustling hour, no one paid much attention to their entrance.Holding her ID card, Sylvia took the initiative and obtained a queue number.Seated, she mused, "That's odd. Doesn't this bank have a VIP customer system?"Initially, Sylvia lacked an account with King City Bank. On Ruth's advice, Eric had opened an account, transferring the funds allocated by the Hernandez family under Sylvia's name.Typically, a bank like this should possess information on its VIP customers. The system would activate when VIP customers took a queue number, prompting high-ranking executives to attend to them promptly.Sylvia aimed to utilize this method to meet the bank'
Seeing Sylvia nod in agreement, the bank teller immediately left to report this matter.Soon, several high-ranking executives arrived. The transfer of several billion dollars to another bank directly alarmed the chairman of the King City Bank, Nigel Dolittle.The man in glasses approached Sylvia and said, "Ms. Williams, my apologies for making you wait in line for so long! If there's anything dissatisfactory, please feel free to point it out. We will definitely make changes and improvements according to your suggestions!"Nigel was quite articulate. He was taken aback after learning that Sylvia wanted to transfer her money to another bank. The bank would definitely suffer significantly by losing such a prestigious customer like Sylvia.Having been chairman for many years, Nigel understood the influence of wealthy individuals like Sylvia. If they were satisfied with the service, they could bring in more high-profile customers. However, if their service was lacking and word got out,
Nigel's face turned pale. Discovering that a person who had passed away a year ago had acted as a guarantor in their bank just six months ago was incredulous!Nigel felt somewhat embarrassed. After reviewing the loan documents sent to him, he confidently faced Sylvia and contemplated using his status as the chairman to waive the debt and appease her.Unfortunately, Sylvia did not intend to waive the debt—she sought an explanation."Ms. Williams, give me three days, and I will surely provide an explanation to you and Mr. Gurth," Nigel said solemnly.Sylvia glanced at Seth, leaving the decision to him.Seth sighed. "We're not troublemakers. My wife has been dead for over a year, and suddenly, you claim she was a guarantor at your bank six months ago. Who wouldn't be furious, right? Apart from that, you even froze my account, tried to take my money, and threatened that if I couldn't repay the debt, I'd go to prison!"Nigel nodded hastily, acknowledging their grievance. Nevertheless,
Nigel pointed at Reece Ashville, his voice filled with indignation. "I knew you'd engage in some shady dealings, but I never thought you'd be so audacious!"Even more astonishing is the level of carelessness exhibited here! A person who has been deceased for over a year was permitted to serve as the guarantor for a loan signed just six months ago!"The executives' faces changed drastically. No wonder Nigel was livid.Nigel took a deep breath. "Mr. Ashville, explain how such a thing occurred. Didn't you verify the information when approving the loan?""We did..." Reece wiped the sweat from his forehead. "We found over 400,000 dollars in Seth Gurth's account, and he didn't have any significant background..."Nigel finally understood. He looked at the executives. "Do tell, then. How do we handle this? How do we suppress this matter? If they make a fuss, it will be the end of our bank!"Reece said, "Mr. Dolittle, I am aware of the loan, and there's more than just that one. Those fund
"Mom, in that case, won't Eric be unable to transfer all his money from King City Bank?" Sylvia exclaimed."It's highly possible. They dare to swindle money even from the Hernandezes, let alone Eric, whom they don't know. I bet you won't be able to transfer the money tomorrow morning. We need to take precautions as soon as possible and prevent them from moving assets!" Alexander said.The information Alexander received was not baseless.Realizing how serious the matter was, Eric asked Miller to come over after dinner.-Miller arrived around 8:00 p.m."Can we monitor the financial industry?" Eric asked.Miller nodded. "That's not a problem. Just give the order, Lieutenant General Johnson.""Great! Captain Smithson, do you remember the Whitlocks incident in Sunridge?" Eric said.Miller narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that someone in King City is transferring assets?"Miller already had a suspect in mind. The Whitlocks' incident in Sunridge and their discovery of the Rockwoods
Eric and Sylvia approached. Spotting them, Julius frowned and remarked, "You can't withdraw your money either?"He was well aware that Eric had billions at King City Bank as he had personally delivered the funds to the Montgomerys.Sylvia shook her head and explained, "I planned to transfer the money today, but it seems it might not go through.""Hmph!" Julius snorted. "Preposterous! I won't let this slide if King City Bank doesn't return our money!"Turning to the overwhelmed bank manager, Sylvia said, "Hurry and call Mr. Dolittle over. You won't be able to handle this matter.""Yes... Yes..."The manager quickly went to summon Nigel. As he left, Sylvia went to the ATM.After checking the balance and withdrawing 1,000 dollars, she felt reassured.Shortly after, Nigel arrived, inviting Julius, Eric, and Sylvia to the second floor.After pouring coffee, he instructed someone to bring information about Hernandez Corp.'s dealings with King City Bank. The data revealed that over
