Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 12

Shock!

The entire crowd fell into silence, with only the echoes of Adam's words reverberating for a long time.

Single-story villa!

Everybody was looking at him, unsure as to what to make of the situation.

After some time, Linette burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that she almost lost her balance. "Hahaha, this is the best joke I've heard in a while. At this point, you should have said that you wanted to buy a whole neighborhood. Haha..." "Hehe, so he was just bluffing."

"I knew it, even getting the smallest unit would be good for them, and now they want to buy an entire floor, hehe."

"Young man, I know you must be angry, but bluffing like this isn't going to help you. What if this girl processes the order, and you don't pay? You'd be causing trouble for her."

The people around them chartered incessantly.

"I'm really sorry! He was just joking, it's time for us to leave. Adam, stop causing trouble. Let's leave this place already." Katie was so embarrassed that her face was flushed red. She grabbed Adam's arm and prepared to drag him away. However, she was too anxious and accidentally yanked on the bag in Adam's hand. The bag fell to the ground, and its contents spilled on the floor.

Rustle.

Several bundles of banknotes lay on the ground, immediately attracting the attention of the crowd.

When they saw that the whole bag was filled with cash, their expressions changed. For a moment, green was the only color in their eyes.

"This... Isn't it supposed to be old clothes inside?"

"It's money, all money! There must be several million here."

"Cash, all in cash! Just this money alone is enough to buy two or three floors."

Instantly, discussions erupted, and the gazes of everyone turned towards Adam and Katie.

Carrying several million in cash? This wasn't just being wealthy; it was downright extravagant!

Linette couldn't believe her eyes, her gaze fixed in disbelief.

On the other hand, Jenny covered her mouth, a face of shock.

"Miss Jenny, please go and process the invoice. Full payment, one-time settlement," Adam handed over a bank card.

"What? Oh, okay, I'll go, I'll go. Please wait, sir," Jenny Slapped back to reality, rushing towards the finance office.

At this moment, Linette also slapped back and shouted, "Hold on! You, a front desk intern, have no qualifications to sell houses, and besides, this is my client!"

Jenny's raised foot froze in mid-air, and her excited face instantly turned into one of disappointment.

Adam sneered, "Is your face that pale? Who said I'm your client?"

Linette, attempting to justify herself, said, "You were the ones I greeted, you are my clients."

"That's called greeting?"

Linette's face turned as red as a monkey's butt in an instant. Despite feeling regret in her heart, she didn't admit defeat. "Anyway, you were the ones I greeted. If you want to buy a house, I must be the one to process the order."

At this moment, a man in a suit walked into the scene, furrowing his brows, "What's going on? Why is there so much noise?"

Linette's eyes lit up with joy, and she immediately exclaimed, "Mr. Payne, come here quickly! Jenny is stealing my client."

Johnson Payne entered the hall and immediately spotted the cash on the ground. His eyebrows raised - a big client?

He needed to help Linette secure this, or she would keep him at arm's length for another two or three weeks.

Yes, Linette was his little lover, but to be precise, she had set the rules for him. This girl was making waves to become the top sales champion.

Johnson quickly weighed the pros and cons. He then said, "Jenny, don't you know what a receptionist should and should not do? I can't believe that you still don't understand the rules. There is no need for you to come to work tomorrow." "What? Mr. Payne, I..." Jenny's face paled.

"Hmph, you what? You're just an intern, and your job was to serve tea or water to the clients. Do you understand now?" said Linette with a cold smile.

Jenny gritted her teeth and could not help the tears trickling down her face.

Adam furrowed his brows. "Are you the manager? Then let me spell it out for you. I'll buy a house if, and only if, Miss Jenny creates the sales order. Also, you'll have to fire this woman," he said, pointing at Linette.

The manager shook his head. "Sir, I can personally create the sales order for you if you don't like Miss Linette. However, I can't fire her just because you're asking me to. That's not how it works around here." Adam narrowed his eyes.

"Never mind, Adam, let's go. We won't buy it here." Katie really didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"Sorry, sir, for causing you trouble," Jenny approached, handing the bank card back to Adam.

At that moment, Johnson's eyes suddenly widened, urgently exclaiming, "Wait..."

Before the words were finished, Johnson rushed forward, snatched the bank card, and frantically examined it. The more he looked, the paler his face became.

This... was the legendary black credit card from Woodgrove Bank?

Limited to ninety-nine cards worldwide, each card could withdraw unlimited funds from Jiulong Bank. Of course, the money wasn't important; the crucial part was the identity. Owning this card was the best proof of status. What is the net worth of billions or tens of billions? In front of this card, they were all worthless.

Johnson had only seen pictures of this card online, and this was the first time he had seen it in reality.

"Linette, you're fired. Jenny, quickly take this sir and madam to the VIP lounge. Personally attend to them and convey my message: all departments are to give them the green light."

Johnson quickly weighed the pros and cons. Would antagonizing someone rich and powerful enough to own a black card, all for the likes of Linette Lane, be worth it? Of course not! Linette instantly looked puzzled, "Manager, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you..."

"Shut up and get out!" Johnson angrily interrupted.

"Wait." Adam stared coldly at Linette, "Kneel down and apologize to my wife."

Linette instantly went crazy, gritting her teeth, "You're delusional. Even if I resign, I won't apologize to you guys."

Before Adam could speak, Johnson coldly ordered, "Kneel down and apologize."

"Mr. Payne are you crazy? Don't forget you have something in my hands," Linette said frantically. During their secret affairs, she had taken plenty of photos and videos.

Johnson's expression indeed changed, and he pulled Linette aside to say something.

One minute later, Linette came back.

Thud!

She kneeled on the ground and said in a low voice, "Sir, Madam, I was wrong. Forgive me for my behavior!"

Katie: "..."

Everyone: "..."

At that moment, everyone looked at Adam and Katie with astonishment.

Linette packed up and left, and Jenny completed all the procedures for Adam and Katie.

Adam insisted on transferring the ownership of the house to Katie, while she insisted that he put it in his name.

"Mr. Drake, Miss Hartley, I can see that you two really love each other," Jenny said with envy.

Katie smiled slightly without explaining any further.

Adam said, "Miss Jenny, if you're not happy working here, perhaps you can consider becoming my wife's assistant. She will be in charge of an important project, and we urgently need someone capable like you."

Katie was about to instinctively refute, but thinking of the follow-up matters of the vacation manor, she couldn't handle everything alone. Now that she had collected the debts, her grandfather should let her take charge of the vacation manor, right?b
