"Could you all use your brains for once? There were over a hundred soldiers inside the restaurant, yet you two got into a fight right outside!”
The three of them argued incessantly. Percival tried to reason with them when suddenly, Damien exclaimed in shock with his phone in hand, "Dad, Mom, my bank card has been frozen!"
The couple froze. At the same time, their phones also rang with incoming text message alerts. They took out their phones and saw the message informing them that their bank accounts had been temporarily frozen due to a system upgrade. This kind of situation likely involved someone pulling strings in the back, possibly involving the bank.
Saskia grabbed her hair angrily, "It must be that bitch's doing! She must've gotten the Roche family to freeze our bank accounts!”
It was then that Wagner descended the stairs with his hands behind his back. "I froze your bank accounts, as well as all the assets under your names. I intend to reclaim everything!"
The three’s expressions changed drastically at that.
"Old man, have you gone mad?" Saskia exploded. Freezing their bank accounts and confiscating their assets, was he trying to lord over them?
"How dare you speak to my dad like that?"
Percival did not bother arguing against Wagner and slapped Saskia. If he did not stand with his father at this moment, he would truly be finished! Under normal circumstances, Saskia would have jumped and beaten Percival to a pulp.
She did not dare do that now, though. Instead, she suppressed her anger and asked, "Dad, what are you trying to do?"
Wagner remained calm as he replied, "Do you have no idea what you've done? Offending the Roches is equivalent to throwing this family into the fire, do you understand?"
...
It was now 11:00 pm. Miriam and Sammy escorted the soldiers to their accommodations in batches. Of the 12 they owned, only three rooms were left vacant at the end. By the time they were done settling everyone, it was already midnight.
Nash located the both of them and took out his bank card, saying, "Calculate the total expenses for tonight.”
