Chapter 0005

"Stop!" Larry dashed between Logan and Chloe.

Before Logan could speak, Chloe waved the Supreme Card in the air. Her eyes flashed with triumph as she said to Larry, "Mr. Fisher, look! He stole a card from the VIP room!" She smiled at him, her expression a little smug.

Surely, Mr. Fisher would be happy with her for preventing theft. He had a lot of authority in East Cross division of Goldguard Bank, and when he had arrived at headquarters, he had seemed impressed with her, so she was hoping for a promotion. Her imagination began to run away with her as she dreamed about her possible future.

Mr. Fisher's face had always been a little glum, but as she watched, his expression grew darker and darker. Before she could figure out why, she was startled by his explosive roar, leaving her entire body trembling.

"Let go of Mr. Pearce!" As he yelled, Mr. Fisher knocked the Supreme Card out of her hand, and she was so scared that she let go of Logan. Mr. Fisher pushed her aside and bent down to pick up the card. "Mr. Pearce, your card. I'm very sorry. I haven't trained Ms. Adams properly. I do apologize."

Mr. Fisher's expression showed a mixture of respect, embarrassment, and unease, as the bank's customers looked on in amazement. Chloe was stunned.

Could the Supreme Card be his? she wondered.

Her eyes widened. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make sense of it.

If this man had a Supreme Card, then he had at least three million dollars, yet he appeared to only be around twenty years old. A poor, lower-class loser with that much money? No, it was just too unlikely.

"It's not your fault, Mr. Fisher," Logan assured him, slipping the card back into his pocket.

"Thank you, Mr. Pearce." Larry dipped his head and paused briefly before straightening up and shouting at Chloe, "Why are you just standing there? Apologize to Mr. Pearce immediately!"

How could Chloe still not understand? Larry thought. The young man standing in front of them was seriously rich and needed to be treated with respect.

Chloe immediately bowed her head at Logan. "Mr. Pearce, I'm very sorry for my rude behaviour. I made a mistake, created a fuss over nothing, and put my hands on you. It was my fault, and I will reflect on my behaviour—"

Logan ignored her and walked away.

"Mr. Pearce," Larry called after him. "If you ever need anything, just give me a call, and I'll do my best to help."

Larry was excited by this opportunity. It was rare to meet someone as important as Logan, so he shamelessly tried to charm him.

"Okay, Larry." Logan smiled faintly. Larry had come to his defence, after all.

The use of his first name made Larry feel quite emotional. The wealthiest customers called him by his first name, and now so did this poorly dressed young man, who displayed not even a hint of arrogance.

Logan strode out of the bank and hailed a taxi to take him back to Ridgeview University.

As Logan entered the university building, he accidentally stepped into a puddle, splashing a lot of mud on his legs.

He checked his watch then rushed toward the classroom, where Cecilia Henderson was already standing at the podium, lecturing. She spotted Logan out of the corner of her eye and a hint of disappointment flashed across her face.

Feeling guilty, Logan lowered his head.

Of all his teachers, Cecilia was his favourite. The other teachers tended to ignore Logan because he had no money, and some even openly mocked him. Only Cecilia treated him like any other student.

Logan slipped quietly into the classroom, aware that all the students were staring at him, and he could hear them whispering.

"He isn't usually late. Hell must have frozen over."

"Look at his pants! They're filthy. Doesn't he have any clean clothes?"

"Are you joking? It's not like he'd have the money for new ones. It looks like he's just thrown on whatever he could find."

Some of the boys continued to talk, and the girls in the front row covered their mouths with their hands as they joined in. Their eyes flashed with contempt when they looked at Logan.

"Stop talking!" Cecilia said loudly. "And pay attention."
