Charlie, who was typically calm andposed, found himself utterly stunned when he received the shocking message!
His Citibank ck card revealed a staggering bnce of 21.9 billion.
This amount included the original ten billion that Stephen had given him when he first acquired the card.
Additionally, there was the ten billion he had secured from Masao Kobayashi, and another billion obtained from Jiro Kobayashi after the passing of his father.
He also had one billion from Lord Moore, which he had deposited into the card without knowing how to handle it.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Thus, his total bnce reached twenty-two billion. However, since he rarely spent any of it, his ount showed 21.9 billion plus a few tens of millions in change.
But suddenly, someone had transferred a staggering 21.9 billion away! Who could have done this?!
His first suspect was the Wade family.
Had they decided to reim his card because he had refused to return to the family for such a long time?
It seemed unlikely. Why would the extremely wealthy Wade family want to take away his funds?
The second possibility was that his ount had been hacked!
However, the ck card was equipped with highly exclusive encryption, making forgery a rare urrence. It was conceivable that the card had been stolen!
Charlie straightened up, set down his teacup, and hurried toward the stairs.
Jacob called out, “Hey, where are you off to? This tea is fantastic—aren’t you going to finish it?”
Charlie waved him off. “Thanks, Dad, but I have something urgent to handle. I promise to get you some really good tea to try someday.”
He then dashed up the stairs.
Jacob sighed as he watched him go. “That kid doesn’t even appreciate such fine tea. What does he know about good tea? He’s more likely to get scammed than I am.”
Charlie rushed back to his room, frantically searching his jacket pocket for his card.
To his dismay, the card was missing!
This was incredibly strange.
Thompson First had an excellent security system; who could have stolen his card right under his nose?
Moreover, even if someone had taken it, they wouldn’t know his password, which was simply his birthday! It had to be someone familiar with him to even attempt to guess the password…
Suddenly, a familiar face shed in his mind.
ine!
Yes, it had to be her!
Charlie’s expression turned icy and dark at the thought.
‘You are such a bold, greedy woman. Not only did you cause me trouble, but now you’re trying to steal my money, too!’
‘And you have the audacity to transfer 21.9 billion! Didn’t you even feel a twinge of fear upon seeing that amount? How could you dare to take it all?’
He quickly grabbed his phone and called Stephen.
Once the call connected, Stephen’s mature, serious voice came through. “Hello, Mr. Wade, how can I assist you?”
Charlie replied coldly, “My ck card has been stolen, and someone has attempted to transfer the funds.”
Stephen’s voice turned frantic. “How much is missing?”
“21.9 billion!”
“What? That much?!” Stephen gasped in disbelief. He had just given Charlie ten billion not long ago—how did it grow to 21.9 billion so quickly? The young man’s ability to amass wealth in such a short time was truly impressive!<fn2531> Checktest chapters at Find?Novel</fn2531>
Despite his surprise, Stephen maintained professionalism as he assessed the situation. “When such arge sum is transferred, it must first go through the headquarters for verification. This means the money has left your ount and is currently at the headquarters’ settlement center. It will only be released to the recipient after verification, which typically takes at least an hour. Mr. Wade, when did this transfer ur?”
“Just a few minutes ago.”
Stephen exhaled in relief. “That’s reassuring. The Wade family has strong business ties with Citibank’s headquarters. I’ll contact them immediately, and your funds will be returned to your ount shortly.”
