Chapter 308



.

The employee immediately stood up, giving Louis a fright.

He stared at the clerk dumbfounded. “What’s wrong?”

However, the clerk leaned over and said, “Please wait a moment!”.

Then, she took the card and hurried to the manager’s office next door.

Louis was taken aback.

He looked around and saw that the rest of the staff was behaving normally. The employee who was attending to him was the only one who had suddenly run out of the room.

He swallowed hard, could it be that his cousin had stolen that card from someone? After all, she hadn’t run out even after spending nearly $50,000 on pet food.

Was the clerk going to call the police?

He was so alarmed that he jumped to his feet and unconsciously headed for the door.

He had barely taken two steps when someone suddenly chased him from behind. “Sir, please wait a moment!”

Louis: “!!!”

Without another word, he started to run out.

Unfortunately, the security guard at the bank’s doors saw the manager chasing him, so he unconsciously thought Louis was a bad guy and rushed towards him immediately.

Louis easily dodged the security guard. He said, “Don’t hold me brother! That card is not mine. I… I found it somewhere!”

He ran out of the bank until he reached the street. Then, he ran out onto the sidewalk.

But he had only taken two steps when the security guard caught up with him. He said, “What are you afraid of if it’s something you found? Stop running and clear it all up with the manager. Otherwise I’ll call the police!”.

“You can’t!” Louis shouted as he ran, “I didn’t break the law!”.

“Then stop running!”

“No way!”

Louis kept running forward. At the same time, he pulled out his phone and texted Nora, “Stinky woman. You got me in big trouble!!!

Louis had taken the initiative to add Nora’s contact information to his phone when they were shopping for cat food. He had even told her, “You can come to me if you have any problems in the future! I’ll protect you.”

Little did she know things would end up like this.

After sending the text message, he continued to exercise his skills to the fullest and ran with all his might.

The security guard: “…”

Running away was what Louis knew best. After all, he was already used to being disciplined by his family since he was a child, so he ran very fast and soon disappeared.

The security guard was out of breath from chasing him so hard, but in the end he lost him.

He bent down and gasped heavily.

The manager behind him had also caught up with him. He asked him, “Why were you chasing him? You scared him.”

“… Isn’t he a bad guy?” the security guard asked.

“What nonsense!” The manager exclaimed grumpily, “He’s a distinguished customer!!!”

The security guard: “!”

He was perplexed. “If he’s a customer, why is he running away?”.

The manager slapped the security guard angrily. “Isn’t it because you were chasing him? Of course, he would run away if you chased him.”

“… Really?” the security guard asked.

The manager sighed. He looked at the bank card in his hand and couldn’t help but sigh excitedly. “Do you know that only five cards like this have been issued since our bank was established?”

The security guard: “?”

The manager stared at the card. “Although this is a complementary card, there are no more than twenty complementary cards of this card series in the bank! And this is on a worldwide scale, no less! That’s why I have to personally attend to the customer – but good, you’ve really scared him! I have to report this to the superiors as soon as possible.”

He turned around and went back to the bank. Then he had the security guard show him the surveillance camera footage. “Hurry, find out who it is! We have to pay them a visit.”

Louis had not expected any of this when he first entered the bank, so his appearance was fully exposed.

The manager had a friend investigate who he was.

Louis could be considered someone with status in New York, so they quickly found out who he was.

The bank manager looked at his information. After a brief silence, he said, “Come on, let’s go to the Smiths now. We need to hold that important client and apologize to the VIP.”

Louis stopped and started panting heavily after running a long distance.

He looked behind him. When he checked that no one had caught up with him, he was relieved.

But…

He pulled out his phone and dialed Chester’s number with trembling fingers. “I’m in trouble! I’m in trouble!”

Chester then asked, “What’s wrong?”.

Louis thought for a moment and decided he shouldn’t rat on Nora. Even if she had stolen someone’s card, he should cover it up.

After all, he was the one who had brought this on.

He took a deep breath. “Don’t ask. Give me all the money you have. I’m going to make a run for it.”

“…But I only have $300! I’ll transfer it to you!” said Chester.

“Get lost! Why are you more pitiful than me?”

Louis hung up on him at once.

If he ran away, he would be a wanted felon. This way, it wouldn’t affect Nora. Besides, wasn’t the pugilistic world what Quentin liked best anyway?

Didn’t this mean he was now going to roam the world?

On second thought, it sounded pretty exciting.

The main problem was, how was he going to escape if he had no money?

As he thought about it, he quietly made his way to the Smith mansion.

In any case, he would first go to Warren and borrow some money from him.

Warren was easy to deal with and easy to fool. He would definitely not stand idly by and watch him starve.

After driving back to the Smiths, so as not to make too much noise, he parked the car in front of the door and quietly went inside by himself.

He was about to go upstairs to look for Warren when he was discovered.

Yvonne looked at him, “Why are you sneaking around Louis?”.

Louis: “!!!”

What bad luck!

How was it that he always ran into her every time he had bad luck?

With an evasive look, Louis replied, “It’s nothing.”

Yvonne knew right away, by his behavior, that he had gotten himself into trouble. She immediately said, “You must have done something bad again, right? Let’s see if I don’t tell Joel.”

Louis immediately blurted out. “All you know is telling on others! What else do you know besides being a snitch?”.

Yvonne looked him up and down several times. Then she lowered her eyes and asked suddenly, “Did Nora’s bank card get you in trouble?”

Although Louis was mischievous, disliked studying and had a strange personality, he had only gotten that way because of her ‘chicanery’.

No one knew better than Yvonne how nice Louis really was.

In the past he always played the hero and spoke up when he ran into trouble, but today he refused to say a word about it. Therefore, she decided to simply sound him out.

Unexpectedly, Louis’ look suddenly changed the moment she said that, and he said, “No, he didn’t!”.

Yvonne frowned. “Then it really is because of that bank card!”.

Louis: “!!!”

Just then, a butler hesitantly approached from outside. “Miss Yvonne, the manager of the New York branch of ABC Bank is here. They say they are coming for Mr. Louis.”

Louis: “?????”

Had they found him so soon?

He wanted to slip away, but Yvonne grabbed him by the collar and said, “Why are you running Louis? What is it that you can’t explain well to everyone? Since they’re looking for you, let’s go take a look!”

Something must have gone wrong with Nora’s card!

And judging by the panic Louis was in, it looked like a pretty big problem.

Let’s see how she’ll be able to make a place for herself in the Smiths now!!!!!
