The call went through.

Jane Smith’s voice rang from the other end. “What’s with the call? You’re not going to see a doctor? Are you that free to call me? And for what? To beg for mercy?”

“Cut the f*cking crap!”

Cole Stone retorted.

“Just what in the hell do you want?”

He was so angry that he looked as if he wanted to kill.

Especially those that dared to involve his family.

Jane Smith chuckled. “Cole Stone, I’ll cut to the chase. What I want is simple.”

“First, I want you to kneel and apologize to James Lewis!”

“You made us feel terrible for slandering James Lewis the other day.”

“Next, I want you to leave Sky City. I don’t want to see you ever again.”

“Lastly, I want you to give me the remaining half of the rights for the house. That’s the best that you can do for making me waste my youth and time.”

Jane Smith could still remember what Cole Stone had said when he left the Smith house the other day.

She was inferior to a random young model?

Those words were an insult to James Lewis’ love for her.

That was why Jane Smith had chosen such a crazy method of revenge.

Hearing those three requirements, Cole Stone laughed and ridiculed. “Why choose such a roundabout way of saying that you want the house? I am sure that you know deep in your heart that James Lewis is just playing with you…”

“Am I right?”

“You’re afraid that you won’t have the money to buy a house in the future, and that is why you want to take your ex-boyfriend’s house for yourself before that happens?”

Cole Stone was furious.

His words were as sharp as knives.

Jane Smith immediately hollered in exasperation. “Cole Stone! What are you talking about? James Lewis loves me from the bottom of his heart! Don’t even think that you can drive a wedge between us!”

“Hehehe, you know very well whether he really loves you or not…”

Cole Stone added.

“Let me tell you, don’t think of taking that house away from me…”

“I won’t leave Sky City either.”

“Sooner or later, both of you will kneel before me.”

“Continue messing with me…”

“Just remember that if you failed to kill me, I’ll be the one murdering you all.”

Silence.

Cole Stone hung up.

“Okay, okay, okay—”

Jane Smith looked at her phone.

She started to tremble in fury. “Cole Stone! You’re dead!”



With Eugene Neal gone, Cole Stone rejoined the queue.

After his wounds were bandaged up, Cole Stone left the hospital.

He planned to get another credit card.

He already had two cards in his hands but he did not want to use them to repay his debts since he could easily max them out.

But today, he had no other choice but to use them.

However, to handle everything—he had to get another credit card.

Cole Stone looked up his bank’s branch address on the map and set off.



2.30 p.m.

Cole Stone had just stepped into the bank.

He was about to take his queue number and register his ID when suddenly…

A hand blocked the ID that Cole Stone was about to place into the machine.

“I was wondering why you looked so familiar, so it’s you—Cole Stone!”

“Those bandages on your head look pretty good on you.”

A familiar voice sounded.

Quinn Young.

Cole Stone turned around and his face darkened.

He had forgotten.

Quinn Young was the manager of this bank.

Cole Stone glanced at Quinn Young. “Let me go.”

Quinn Young raised her eyebrows. “I’m not letting go.”

“Does this machine belongs to your family?”

Quinn Young became so angry that she laughed. “What are you talking about? I just want to ask you about what you are doing here in the bank.”

“I’m here to get a credit card.”

“Hey, are you trying to swindle us out of our money with credit cards?”

Cole Stone ignored her words and directly pushed her away.

Quinn Young blocked him. “You don’t have many income-generating assets. I won’t give you a credit card.”

Cole Stone was not in a hurry.

He took out his phone and said without even looking up. “Stopping me from taking a queue number… How can a manager have such a terrible attitude? Manager Young, do you want me to file a formal complaint?”

“You…”

Quinn Young’s expression changed, but she still refused to admit her mistake. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, then you don’t have money. I won’t give you a credit card even if you have a queue number, so how about you stop wasting our time?”

At this moment, a sound came from beyond the nearby door.

“What’s going on?”

A man walked in.

Quinn Young was shocked. “Sir Terence!”

The supervisor of the bank who had just arrived to work looked at Cole Stone.

“Hello, I’m the branch supervisor, Terence Carter…”

“How may I address you? Do you need any help?”

“My name’s Cole Stone.”

Cole Stone made a sidelong glance at Quinn Young. “Manager Young here doesn’t want me to take a queue number and is obstructing me in my business.”

Terence Carter looked at Quinn Young.

Quinn Young remained calm, however, and explained. “Sir Terence, I’m his friend. He’s here to get a credit card.”

“But he had just lost his job, and he’s got a mortgage on him. It’s completely out of character for him to have so much debt. I don’t want him to waste our colleagues’ energy and time. If you won’t believe me, ask him if he’s in debt.”

With that…

Quinn Young revealed a pleased look.

What she said was simply the truth—the undeniable truth.

She even expressed her concern for her colleagues.

Sir Terence was definitely on her side.

Terence Carter looked at Cole Stone. “Mr. Stone, is that true?”

“Indeed…”

Cole Stone did not deny it either.

“But setting the asset evaluation aside, Manager Young should not be allowed to have such a bad attitude. How can she just stop me from being evaluated? Could it be that the asset evaluation of your bank can be done based on her words?”

He went all out.

Even if he could not get a credit card, he had to cause trouble for Quinn Young.

Terence Carter frowned slightly.

A trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

He could already tell that Cole Stone could not get a card no matter what.

Wasn’t he just here to cause a ruckus against Quinn Young?

It was a supervisor’s duty to ensure the overall productivity of their staff members.

But Cole Stone hadn’t done anything wrong.

Terence Carter looked at Quinn Young. “Manager Young, apologize to Mr. Stone.”

Quinn Young looked as if she had eaten sh*t.

Why is Cole Stone so disgusting?

But in the end, she could only lower her head and apologize under Terence Carter’s gaze.

“I’m sorry.”

Cole Stone said, “Reflect on yourself. I’m teaching you a valuable lesson here. A lesson that will undoubtedly be good for your future.”

Quinn Young gritted her teeth in anger.

Terence Carter frowned. “Mr. Stone, you can take your queue number now.”

His sentence meant that Cole Stone should stop with his antics.

You came here to open a credit line, but you’re being petty with my staff?

Cole Stone’s actions greatly displeased him.

Hearing Terence Carter’s words, Cole Stone shrugged and put his ID card on the machine.

Beep!

He was about to pick a number when a line of words suddenly appeared.

Cole Stone’s expression changed.

Then, an electronic voice reverberated.

“Hello, Mr. Stone. Your assets have reached the requirements. I sincerely invite you to apply for a private bank card to enjoy our VIP services.”

Silence…

Terence Carter and Quinn Young stiffened.

They were rendered speechless.

A private bank card that could only be opened with over a million dollars of assets!

How could Cole Stone meet the requirements to apply for one?!

In the very next moment, a terrified look appeared on Terence Carter’s face.

This is not good at all…
