Chapter 2 Diamond Card
New Bank was a very mysterious bank in America. It was not large in scale and did not accept deposits below 1.6
million dollars.
In other words, it was a bank that only had the rich as its clients!
The bank became the choice of millions of wealthy people because of its high secrecy.
Gerald ran and found the bank. The reason why he ran was that he did not have a single cent. As long as he got paid at the construction site, he would give all of it to Irene and Mary.
He exhaled and walked inside.
Yet just as he took a few steps, he was stopped by the security guard at the door. The guard looked at him with a frown and said, “This is New Bank. No trespassers are allowed in!”
Gerald quickly said, “I’m here to do business.”
“Business?” The security guard looked at him with a faint smile. Then he said, “Do you know what kind of bank this is? Can someone like you do business here?”
The security guard thought, as a security guard at New Bank, I have seen too many clients who come here to make deposits or other businesses. Most of them are flashy, either driving luxury cars or wearing famous brands.
And this man?
He has just come out of a construction site. He is so dirty. His hair is unkempt, mixed with cement ash, and the white vest he is wearing is almost black. Not to mention that he is wearing a pair of ragged sneakers. He is no different from a beggar!
How can a man like him do business at New Bank?
“Gerald?” suddenly, a woman behind Gerald said.
Hearing her voice, Gerald couldn’t help but tremble.
He was so familiar with the voice.
It was his wife, no… To be more precise, it was his ex–wife, Irene.
He slowly turned around. Sure enough, not far away, a new BMW pulled up, and then a man and a woman stepped down from it. The woman was wearing light makeup and was very beautiful. After she got off, she took the man’s arm very naturally. They looked very intimate!
Gerald was angry. She was so skilled. It seemed that those two had been together for a while now.
On the contrary, Gerald had been married to Irene for three years, and he hadn’t even touched her finger.
“So, this is Gerald.” The two of them walked over. The man looked at Gerald with an insincere smile. There was a hint of arrogance in him. “Your ex–husband?”
“Norninally.” Irene pursed her lips and glanced at Gerald in disgust. “He hasn’t even touched my finger once. Don’t think too much!”
She looked at Gerald as she spoke, “Gerald, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Adriel Hoffman. I think you have heard of him.”
She was right. Gerald had indeed heard of the man. Adriel was a famously rich and arrogant man in Los Angeles!
Most of the people in Los Angeles knew Adriel’s reputation. Of course, he didn’t have a good one.
Gerald was surprised that Adriel was Irene’s new boyfriend.
Adriel glanced at Gerald with a fake smile and said with a grin, “Thank you for taking care of Irene for me for the past three years.”
Irene curled her lips and said, “He? Taking care of me? What can he do? He can earn at most 1,600 dollars each month. I can’t even buy a bag. You are way better than him!”
She was insulting Gerald to his face!
Gerald lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and became furious.
“What are you doing here?” Irene frowned and asked.
“I’m here for business,” Gerald replied calmly.
“Puff!”
Adriel sneered, “For business? Can you even enter the door?”
As he spoke, he walked straight towards the door. The security guard who stopped Gerald didn’t stop Adriel and instead said with a smile, “Mr. Hoffman, this way!”
Irene glanced at Gerald with disgust. She held Adriel’s hand and walked towards the bank. As she walked, Adriel said, “Irene, I gave you a BMW and bought you a fund of 80 thousand dollars. I’m being sincere enough. Don’t go home tonight!”
“Hey…” Irene said coquettishly.
Looking at them, Gerald clenched his fists!
He glanced at the security guard and walked towards the door again!
