Chapter 121 This Doesn’t Sound Like Something a Gambler Would Say

Robin looked at Layla’s back and

president of SunEast Develop, indifferently. “I’ve heard that the 24–hour complaint mailbox for the

president of SunEast Development Bank is always open to any customer of the bank who wishes to report misconduct by its employees, and that complaints will be addressed promptly.

“What I’m trying to say is that I have already submitted my request for VIP service directly to your president’s office today.

“You have someone who left work

arly and refused to accept my repayment. Your headquarters disciplinary investigation team will come to speak with you overnight and impose huge fines and

mination penalties!”

“You!” Layla said, pointing angrily at Robin. “How dare you complain about me? What makes you think you deserve VIP–level service? Are you delusional? Ha!”

“Do you think a repayment of 3.8 billion qualifies me? Robin:

with a cold smile.

“If you neglect your responsibilities, what impact

lly complaint have? Go ahead and refuse VIP–level service if you think I’m bluffing.” Robin replied with a cold smile.

Frustrated, Layla turned to Dominic. “Mr. Stone, what are you suggesting? Are we really going to have to stay late over this nonsense?”

Dominic frowned slightly. “Robin, are you being serious?

“I’m merely offering a warning, given your ties to the Dunns

“Layla’s husband is Jett Hodge, assistant to Zion Parker the deputy mayor in charge of the economy and, finance for the Harmonfield City government

“If you’re making baseless accusations and toying with our executives, you could face criminal charges!”

Robin raised an eyebrow. “Feel free to dismiss me as if Tm joking. Just see what happens!”

Dominic hesitated.

The repayment of Jonah’s loan lingered in the background.

Due to the involvement of Infinity Tower and the corresponding debt transfer, the final repayment deadline could not be met.

The Dunns offered their guarantee, but Dominic ignored and rejected it.

Because of a technical issue, the large transfer of 3.8 billion could not be processed before the end of the business day.

Therefore, both Robin and Jonah requested a one–day extension, but he also denied it.

Given these circumstances, Robin proposed delivering 3.8 billion in cash for repayment. It would be unreasonable for him to refuse to provide VIP special payment services.

If Robin were to file a complaint with the president’s office at headquarters or even the Banking

Regulatory Commission regarding this issue, he would undoubtedly put his job at risk.

In a more serious scenario, he could end up facing legal action for industry fraud.

SunEast Bank would also experience significant consequences as a result.

And if any competitors in the industry were to exploit the situation further, SunEast Development Bank could be ordered by the regulatory commission to shut down for corrective action.

In that case, the major shareholders of SunEast Bank would undoubtedly skin Dominic alive.

After much hesitation, he had no choice but to agree to Robin’s request for cash repayment.

The special VIP service channels had to be activated today.

There was no way to avoid working overtime.

the president of the Harmonield branch of SunEast Development Bank, he could not afford to make any rookie mistakes at this critical moment.

Besides supporting his family, he also had many mistresses to support.

Without his status and wealth, everything would be over.

After weighing his options for a while, Dominic said coldly, “Robin, let me make this clear. If you’re trying to create trouble here, I will report you!”

“Ms. Smith, please don’t leave just yet. Tell your husband and his friend that everyone needs to work late tonight! We need to go to the lobby right away to inform all staff that no one is allowed to leave!”

Layla scoffed and said reluctantly, “Mr. Stone, you may not care about my husband’s reputation, but do you know what his classmate does? Just mentioning his background would frighten some naive kids who’ve never seen the world.””

Dominic’s heart skipped a beat.

Anyone who could earn the respect of a woman like Layla, who had such high standards, must have an impressive identity and background.

Dominic leaned closer to Layla and quietly asked, “Ms. Smith, may I ask what Mr. Hodge’s classmate does abroad?”

Layla had no intention of hiding her husband’s classmate’s identity. She cast a disdainful glance at Robin and said, “The Aldridges from Autreynia. Do you know them?”

Dominic opened his eyes wide in horror. “The Aldridges are the world’s top five tycoons, and they are also the most powerful noble family in Autreynia. Few people know about this family, and they are called hidden families. But they’re incredibly wealthy, almost as rich as a country!”

Exactly!” Layla proudly lifted her chin, as if she were distinguished servant of the Aldridges.

“My husband’s classinate from Autreyuia is Leonardo, the vice president of the Aldridges‘ Aurientia Affairs. Department. In Draconia, he’s usually called Leon.

“He also has another important and secret identity.

“Do you know with Phoenix Vanguard? It’s one of the major sects in the world..

“Leonardo is a disciple of Phoenix Vanguard”

“And his position in Phoenix Vanguard is quite important as well.

“From what I know, he holds at least a managerial role in one of the outer Eight Halls of Phoenix Vanguard.

Mr. Stone, are you really going to make me work overtime based on one foolish remark from someone like Robin?

“If my husband blames you for this, do you think you can handle the consequences?

“Moreover, if Leonardo learns that he was treated poorly over something like this, even the president and major shareholders would likely have to come and apologize in person!

“Mr. Stone, do you think I need to stay?”

Dominic hesitated for a moment.

He was aware that Layla’s words were exaggerated.

But, it was undeniable that Leonardo was not someone to be disregarded.

After all, Layla was the head of the credit department.

If she wasn’t there, the credit department wouldn’t be able to process Robin’s 3.8 billion cash payment.

Robin offered a cold smile. “A lowly assistant to the deputy mayor, can he take on the responsibility for financial misconduct?”

Layla shivered slightly, fully aware of the weight of Robin’s words.

If she were to breach the ethical standards of the financial industry and lead to serious consequences, her husband would also be implicated and unable to avoid accountability.

Even if her husband’s classmate worked for Aldridge Corporation or was a Phoenix Vanguard disciple, it wouldn’t make a difference.

Those connections were too distant to rely on, useful only for show and a bit of vanity.

Dominic frowned deeply. As SunEast Bank’s branch president, he had to focus on the immediate issue at hand.

His responsibility was to the executives at headquarters

They were the ones who truly counted.

If he didn’t handle this properly, he’d be left with nothing.

Dominic gave Layla, a pointed look. “Ms. Smith, why don’t you hold off a bit longer? Let’s get our work

Layla scoffed, then t turned and settled onto the sofa.

With a steely tone. Dominic asked, “Robin, give me a straight answer. When will the money arrive?”

Robin replied calmly, “Before midnight.”

“You!” Layla glared at Robin, gritting her teeth.

“Just you wait! If you can’t bring in the 3.8 billion in cash tonight, no matter who you are, you’ll pay the price! My husband won’t let this slide!”

Robin’s expression held a hint of amusement. “Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

Layla stomped her foot. “We’ll see that!”

Then, she stormed out of the president’s office, heading toward the main lobby.

Dominic shook his head and let out a cold laugh. “Robin, do you have any idea how big this could get? Ms. Smith’s husband is the assistant to the deputy mayor, overseeing economic and financial matters, and rumor has it he’s set to be the next vice mayor

“You heard her just now. His classmate Leonardo is the vice president of Aurientia operations for the Aldridges, one of the world’s top five tycoons,

“He also has Phoenix Vanguard behind him.

“Even if you do bring in the 3.8 billion in cash today, you’ll still end up offending some very powerful people.

“Robin, you’re too young. You’re setting yourself up for disaster!

“Young people who won’t listen… truly hopeless.”

Jonah quickly stepped up beside Robin and murmured “Mr. Ramsey, maybe things have gone too far today. If… Well, if it really comes to that, I’m prepared to accept whatever comes.

“Mr. Ramsey, I appreciate your support, but I can’t let you go down with me,” Jonah said earnestly. Robin smiled indifferently. “Jonah, that doesn’t sound like something a gambler would say.”

He turned toward the lobby. “Let’s go. Time to put Mr. Stone’s theory–whoever has the money holds the power to the test.

With a casual pat on Milo’s head, who was still on the floor, Robin added, “The stacks of cash I’ve got could practically bring down SunEast Bank.”

Then, he strode out of the office.

Jonah watched Robin’s arrogant demeanor, suddenly feeling nervous.

Could it be possible to experience a spectacular gambling scene tonight?

With that thought in mind, he hurried after Robin as they left the president’s office.

Milo, who had just received a pat on the head from Robin, coughed violently for a while before finally rising from the ground.

At that moment, his eyes were wide with fear. “Mr. Stone, there’s something scary with this guy! Should w

Dominic finally turned his attention to Milo.

Noticing the fear in his eyes, he coldly said, “Mr. Lane, were you just sitting on the ground silently for

show

Milo shook his head, frustration evident on his face. “Mr. Stone, I swear, I couldn’t move. It felt like something was holding me down, and my throat was like it was being choked by a giant hand.”

Dominic sneered, “You’re just trying to avoid the question, pretending!”

Milo looked terrified. “Mr. Stone, I’m telling the truth! Robin… He’s not what you think…

Dominic scoffed. “I doubt he has any real power. I’m going to report this to headquarters right away. Today, I want to see just how he plans to come up with 3.8 billion in cash!
