“How could you lie to me, James?”
“I’m not. There isn’t much left on the card. Maybe a hundred million?”
James had a frustrated look.
Was it his fault that he had money?
Thea snatched the card in his hands and grunted coldly, “I’m curious to see how much there is in this card.”
Saying that, she headed to a nearby ATM.
She inserted the card.
“Password?” She turned to look at James, who followed close behind.
James replied, “Six eights.”
Thea keyed in the password.
Upon seeing the number on the screen, she snickered.
Then, wearing a grim expression, she reproached James, “The balance is zero. How dare you lie to me?”
James scratched his nose.
The balance was indeed zero.
However, it was capable of withdrawing a hundred million dollars.
Besides, he did not have to pay them back.
The financial department of the country would help him pay for everything.
Thea pulled out the card and returned it to James.
Although the balance was zero, Thea was still delighted. That was because the money was obtained through illegal means.
She believed it was in James’ nature to boast about being wealthy. Well, at least he only bragged and did not acquire the money illegally.
The two headed to the North Cansington branch of Herbal Biotech.
Herbal Biotech was the largest pharmacy in Cansington and was established by the famous Dr. Jay Fallon.
It was renowned not only in Cansington but all across the country. This, of course, included North Cansington.
The auction held by Herbal Biotech targeted the wealthy.
That was because the herbs sold were valuable and priceless.
Though these precious herbs were considered by many to be nothing out of the ordinary, they were lifesavers for the rich who were gravely ill.
