Chapter 0002

The bean-sized raindrops plopped onto the screen, causing the text message to gradually become blurry.

Logan's mind began to spin. If not for this message, Logan would have almost forgotten his identity as a super-rich kid. Over the last seven years, his family had been assessing him, withholding his fortune until they were satisfied he met their draconian conditions. And now, finally, it was over.

Everything that rightfully belonged to him was finally his to claim.

Logan woke up early the next morning and drove to the city. In a great mood, he got out of his car and went straight to Goldguard Bank, right in the heart of the wealthiest part of the central business district of Ridgeview.

Various luxury cars were parked around the bank. The people walking in and out of the surrounding plaza were all rich; it was obvious from their clothing and demeanour.

Logan strode to the door of the bank and pushed it open.

"Ouch!"

The main door could be opened both inward and outward, and Logan had been a bit careless when he pushed it open from outside. As a result, the door had bumped into a long-haired young woman who had been heading out of the building.

He quickly apologized, "Sorry. I didn't see you."

"What do you mean, you didn't see me? What am I, invisible?" She held a hand to her forehead and glared at him.

The bank's assistant manager, Chloe Adams, had noticed the incident and hurried over. She checked on the woman first, and then looked at Logan in disapproval. When her gaze swept over him, a trace of suspicion appeared on her face.

Goldguard Bank was different from most banks, as the clientele were almost exclusively high-end businesspeople. Chloe knew the young woman was there with her father, but she didn't know why Logan was there. Judging from his appearance and age, he wasn't their usual type of customer.

"Sir, can I be of assistance?" she asked with a polite but forced smile.

Logan simply said, "I'm here to withdraw money."

"Withdraw money?" the sullen woman asked, sneering at him.

"Do you have a card?" Chloe asked, continuing to smile politely.

Getting a Goldguard Bankcard was not easy. A million dollars of savings was the minimum requirement to qualify. Chloe felt certain that the man in front of her couldn't have much experience with the bank and wouldn't know their rules. Perhaps he had thought that other banks' cards could also be used here.

"No," Logan replied, shaking his head.

The woman he had accidentally hit with the door couldn't help but giggle when she heard his honest reply. He wasn't worth any more of her attention.

"Let's go." Her father had walked up, still arranging the documents he was carrying.

"My dad and I are leaving." The woman shook Chloe's hand, and then looked over at Logan. "Ms. Adams, having someone like this around could damage your bank's image and upset your customers. I hope this will not happen again."

With that, she took her father's arm and opened the door.

"Take care, Mr. Harrison." Chloe followed them out a few steps, watching as they got into a car and left. Turning around, she headed back inside, having made up her mind to encourage Logan to leave as soon as possible.

There was no one standing where Logan had been. Oh! Where's he gone? she wondered.

Was it possible that the kid had been embarrassed and had quietly slipped away?

She felt relieved at the thought. Then, just as she was about to go back to work, she caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of her eye.

There's the brat! No wonder I didn't see him at first, she thought. He had already reached the entrance to the VIP lounge, and a pillar had blocked her view of him.

The VIP room was only for high-status customers who were worth at least thirty million dollars, and this young man had admitted that he didn't even have a card. If she let him get through, she would be in trouble with her boss.

"Stop! Don't move!" Chloe yelled, feeling desperate. The other customers all looked around at her, obviously annoyed by her shouting. She could only smile apologetically as she walked quickly toward Logan.

But he had already walked through the lounge, opened the door to the VIP room, and stepped inside.
