Zhane thought to himself, <i>’Why work so hard if I can’t even provide this level of luxury for my future wife?’</i> Yet again, Hera managed to surprise him. Meanwhile, Hera was equally taken aback by how effortlessly Zhane had adopted Dave’s casual mannerisms and actions. Despite his rxed demeanor, his reprimand of the girl remained both noble and polite.


    The girl, however, couldn’t shake the belief that Hera’s actions were a deliberate attempt to embarrass her. She assumed that the ck card Hera was holding belonged to Zhane, as she hadn’t seen the name on it—only Hera handing it over.


    Annoyed, she pursed her lips and snorted. Having heard much about Zhane Everett’s reputation as a gentleman, it wasn’t surprising to her that he would let Hera use his card to purchase whatever she wanted.


    She thought that Hera seemed to be unting her status in response to thements the girl had made earlier. As a result, each of the three people near her—Hera, Zhane, and the assistant—had their own thoughts, but all were focused on Hera and the situation unfolding around her.


    It’s no wonder that Miss Goldsmith might think this way, given that Zhane and the other male leads all possess their own exclusive ck cards. However, Hera’s ck Dragon Card is unique—it’s issued by the Dragon Empire Bank, a prestigious institution linked to her own Avery family. To qualify for this card, one must have a minimum of $100 billion in liquid assets deposited with the bank, reflecting its exclusivity and the substantial wealth required.


    Only the first hundred individuals are eligible to receive these cards, each assigned a unique number. Hera’s card is number 1, reflecting her family’s prestigious status. After her parents’ passing, their cards were returned, and Hera inherited her father’s ount. Her grandfather’s card is numbered 2, and her mother’s was number 3.


    The card numbers also reflect the amount of wealth deposited in the bank and the people will be ranked ording to the amount of assets they have there which signifies the number in their cards. Each cardholder is allocated a security safe, each as spacious as a hotel room. Many tycoons use these safes to store gold bars and other high-value assets that are not only immune to depreciation but are expected to appreciate over time.


    Just like gold, which maintains its value over timepared to fluctuating currencies, precious gems and jewelry are also considered stable investments. It’s understandable if Miss Goldsmith was unfamiliar with the ck Dragon Card; many people regard it as more legend than reality due to its rarity. Even customer service professionals at major banks and other bigpanies, though trained on the subject, rarely encounter these elusive cards in person.


    The assistant had to fetch the special card reader, which had been gathering dust in the office for ages, seldom used. She felt a mix of excitement and apprehension, as if she were holding a hot potato. Rushing back and forth, she quickly returned to Hera, determined toplete the transaction promptly and efficiently.


    Hera received an authorization request on her phone and promptly approved it, marking her first transaction from that location. The card had no spending limits, allowing her to make purchases or transfers of any amount without requiring additional clearance. This flexibility made it a powerful tool for managing her finances with ease.


    Afterpleting the transaction, the assistant handed Hera’s card back with both hands, carefully keeping it facing backward to conceal her name. Delighted by the assistant’s handling of the situation, Hera decided to continue shopping and invited the girl to apany her, appreciating her professionalism and the way she managed the transaction.


    Seeing Hera pleased with her service, the assistant eagerly followed Hera and Zhane as they selected more stones from the second floor, deliberately ignoring the frustrated Miss Goldsmith, who was nursing a belly full of annoyance.


    Before continuing their shopping, Hera asked Zhane to visit the stone master in the corner to have their purchase opened. Since it was her first time betting on stones, she was eager to see how her choice measured up.
