Chapter 961
Flora held the sleek black card between her fingers with a relaxed, almost indifferent air.
"This is it!" she announced.
Candace's eyes practically bulged out of her head as she spotted the card, her voice climbing to a piercing pitch.
"That's my card! It's got ten million on it!"
She was practically bouncing with excitement, thrilled at the thought of catching Flora red-handed. The crowd
around them, not knowing the real story, seemed convinced by Candace's fervor and began to suspect Flora of
foul play. Jaden watched the scene unfold, brow furrowed but withholding judgment. Being Connor's fiancée, it
wasn't beyond belief that Flora might have such a card, given Connor's affection for her.
"Candace, don't jump to conclusions," Jaden advised softly. "This might not be..."

Candace's disappointment was palpable when Jaden cto Flora's defense. She fumed inwardly, believing
Flora had somehow charmed him on their first encounter. Feigning innocence, she said, "Shuyu, that's the card
you gave me..." Turning to Flora, she put on a show of disappointment. "Ms. Flora, | can't believe you'd resort to
this... Just give the card back, and we'll drop the whole thing. You haven't spent the ten million, right?"
With Flora's reputation already in tatters, Candace aimed to coff as the bigger person in front of Jaden.
Kruz and Adrian were almost rolling their eyes at Candace's theatrics. Flora, on the other hand, waited patiently,
then turned to the manager. "Could you please bring over the card reader?”
Bank Luxury's black cards needed a special reader, and with the high-end clientele around, nearly every shop
had one on hand.
"Of course!" The manager quickly retrieved the machine from behind the counter.
Candace, clueless about the card's prestige, wouldn't have known what Bank Luxury was if Jaden hadn't told her.
She assumed Flora's request was just a desperate move. Kruz and Adrian, however, knew exactly what was
coming and stayed silent, ready for the reveal. The manager returned with the machine, and Flora casually
placed the card on it. "You said your card has ten million?"
"Yes, ten million!" Candace asserted, feeling quite smug.
But her confidence shattered in an instant. As the machine processed the card, the screen revealed:
Bank Luxury.
Elite VIP Black Platinum Card.
Cardholder: Flora.
Balance: 999,823,747,700.
The crowd gasped as the screen filled with zeros, the sheer number of them making eyes widen in disbelief.
"Wow, look at all those zeros! Tens, hundreds, thousands... | can't even count them all!" someone exclaimed.
"But it's not just the money," another pointed out. "This is a Bank Luxury Elite VIP Black Platinum Card! There are

The onlookers were in awe, witnessing something they'd likely never see again. Their awe quickly turned to
disdain for Candace, who had accused a Bank Luxury Elite VIP cardholder of theft.
"How could she have stolen a card?" they murmured, noting that
Candace's supposed ten million net
was
a mere drop in the ocean compared to Flora's balance.
"How is this even possible..." Candace was left staring at the screen, unable to comprehend the staggering sum
that filled the display.
So much money... It made her once-impressive ten million seem laughable, and she felt the sting of
embarrassment.
