'Where has this lad in ordinary clothes gotten this card from?' she questioned in her mind.

With the huge amount of money in Michael's account, the bank manager had to give him the Unlimited Premier Card yesterday.

However, Karen collected the card from Michael to give it a try. She wanted to find out if the card was real or counterfeit. After all, only an authentic Unlimited Premier Card can make transactions of billions in a go.

She signaled to the person behind her, and the machine for transactions was provided.

The woman inputted the amount on the machine with her eyes fixed on Michael. She was waiting for him to confess that he was a prankster and everything would end there.

However, the lad didn't blink or flinch. Instead, he had a composed look.
