Melissa and the others smirked confidently as they saw the horror on Rachel’s face. It was as though their ploy had worked.
So they looked at Rachel arrogantly, almost making themselves laugh.
Soon after, Anne brought in a professional banker from a bank nearby.
He nodded courteously at Nathan. "Mr. Chapman."
Nathan nodded slightly and extended his hand calmly toward Rachel. "Rachel, your bank card."
Rachel took out her bank card but did so with an intentionally hesitant act of not handing it to Nathan.
Seeing Rachel, even Nathan was a little dumbfounded.
Although he believed in Rachel, what was her reason for displaying these behaviors?
Melissa lifted her chin and snatched the card from Rachel's hand.
"Are you scared now? It's a little late for that, don't you think?!"
She placed the card into Nathan's palm. "President Chapman, Rachel will disappoint you. She is the culprit, after all!"
'This is just cold, hard facts, even her own expressions betrayed her.'
Melissa was cold and unforgiving. 'Rachel must have thought President Chapman was here to bail her out of the situation.'
'She didn't think the president would have agreed to this way of proving her innocence.'
Nathan took the card but he was doubtful. 'Why would Rachel show these expressions?'
'Did she actually commit the crime?'
However, he had already committed a solution to handling the matter.
Nathan pressed his lips together, uncertain about handing the card to the banker.
The banker's hand hovered in front of Nathan, waiting.
In the end, Nathan placed it on the waiting palm. If he had a choice, he wanted to believe her.
Even Wilhemina and her clique were paying full attention to Rachel's imminent downfall.
The banker then slotted the card into a machine he had brought along that connected to his computer.
His hands typed on the keyboard swiftly, consistently, and methodically.
Melissa crossed her arms as if she had already won.
"I say, can you work faster? You're just wasting everybody's time! What an inefficient worker!"
The banker shot a sidelong glance at Melissa fastidiously.
"This is my fastest. If you're unsatisfied with that, you can try on your own."
Melissa huffed. "If anyone of us could do what you do, you would've gone out of business long ago."
Beep— The computer emitted a soft sound before ejecting the card.
The banker took the card and as he was about to hand it back to Nathan, Melissa snatched it away.
No matter the abundance of patience Nathan had, he still viewed Melissa's arrogance and rudeness in distaste.
His brows furrowed tightly. Even if Melissa was in the right, he would have to find an opportunity to fire her.
Nathan glanced at the banker. "What's the result?"
Aside from the two hundred pounds sterling in cash, there was only a mall membership card.
She fished out the card and held it before Melissa. "I only have one bank account and this card. If you insist on checking other cards, would you like to check my membership card?"
"Oh, can you be a dear and check the points I have in there, I want to see if I can redeem a roll of toilet paper."
Rachel's mocking words turned Melissa's face into a purplish shade. She stomped forward. "Rachel, stop being smug, who knows if you have other cards at home!"
"Let me tell you this. You better not let me find out that you did this, or I won't forgive you!"
Seeing Melissa's fierceness, Rachel covered her mouth and chuckled. "Fine, but do you still want to check my membership card?"
The rest of the people had already stood aside, clearing a path, hinting for them to leave.
Melissa's cohort looked around restlessly before leaving in cautious steps behind her.
They no longer wanted to get back their money and were single-mindedly focused on leaving the suffocating place.
They also remembered the solution they had forced upon President Nathan.
With Rachel's account proving to be that bare, it meant that Rachel did not need to leave the Chapman Group...
So they...
Sensing Nathan's silence, everyone quickly followed after Melissa. Maybe the president had forgotten about it already!
Just as they were thanking their luck, Nathan's cold voice called out to them.
"Wait."
