Chapter 11: Punishment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
How could Terence Carter not understand what a private bank card represented?
Both he and Quinn Young looked down on Cole Stone before this revelation.
If Cole Stone transferred his funds in a fit of anger, his career as the supervisor would be over.
Terence Carter carefully turned his head to look at Cole Stone, wanting to guess his mood.
But Cole Stone was also a little confused.
He wondered if there was a problem with the machine.
But then in the very next moment, he remembered that Cara Williams had transferred 1.5 million dollars over to him yesterday.
As for Quinn Young…
She was stunned.
No—she was completely dumbfounded!
She felt as if the glaring notification on the machine was a huge slap to her face.
A slap that made her face swell with shame.
Why?
Why was Cole Stone’s asset more than 1 million dollars in value?
He was a millionaire?
How was that possible?
Impossible!
Quinn Young’s eyes widened. She instinctively wanted to touch the machine. “Impossible… This is impossible! Did the machine malfunction?”
Cole Stone frowned. “What did you say?”
When Terence Carter heard this, he sucked in a cold breath and exclaimed in anger.
“Quinn Young! What nonsense are you talking about?”
He was still having a headache over how to salvage his relationship with Cole Stone, but this Quinn Young actually dared to question the legitimacy of the latter’s assets?
Quinn Young came back to her senses after being berated. When she saw Terence Carter’s furious appearance, she immediately felt a chill run down her spine. She subconsciously wanted to explain. “Sir Terence, I…”
“Go back and rest for a while. Find someone willing to cover your shift for the next few days. I’ll report today’s situation to the higher-ups in detail.”
Terence Carter shouted.
Direct and succinct!
Quinn Young’s face turned pale as if she had fallen into an icy river.
Find someone who will cover her shift for the next few days?
A detailed report of today’s incident?!
She was finished!
“Sir Terence, please don’t! I just have our branch’s well-being in mind—”
Quinn Young begged.
But Terence Carter’s expression did not change in the slightest. “From your attitude when you received Mr. Stone earlier, I can tell that your ethics aren’t that good. I’ll report everything today to the higher-ups so we can make a decision. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Under such circumstances, he naturally had to sacrifice a pawn to save the queen.
Quinn Young’s lips trembled.
She was filled with regret.
Just now, she was thinking of currying favor with James Lewis by humiliating Cole Stone in the bank.
James Lewis and Jane Smith were the ones that humiliated Cole Stone.
She simply became an accessory to their schemes.
Otherwise, how would she end up like this?
She was different from Jane Smith.
Tom White’s family background was not as prestigious as James Lewis’, and he did not have connections that were as abundant as the latter.
In this situation, no one would stand up for her if she was fired.
Facing such a situation, Quinn Young was terrified.
She did not want to lose this job—three years into her tenure.
Moreover, if she was demoted or even fired because of this, her future in the banking industry would undoubtedly be cut short.
What should I do?!
Thinking about the ramifications of her actions…
Quinn Young looked at Cole Stone.
Only he could save her.
If he spoke up for her, Terence Carter would definitely withdraw his decision.
Cole Stone was the only one that could save her from this quagmire!
Quinn Young quickly grabbed Cole Stone. “Mr Stone, Mr Stone! Can you let me off? Please.”
“We used to be in the same department in college. You still remember it, right?”
“We’ve been very good friends! You can’t just do me like this!”
“I even treated you to a meal and helped you woo Jane Smith, you aren’t this ungrateful, right?”
Ungrateful?
Cole Stone could not help but want to laugh.
But his face went flat hearing Jane Smith’s name.
“I am but a mere outsider of your bank. I will not interfere with the bank’s internal affairs.”
Silence…
Quinn Young’s eyes darkened.
Cole Stone was not going to help her.
She was finished.
Her bright future disappeared just like that!
Quinn Young’s body trembled and she swayed weakly in place.
Seeing that Quinn Young had been sentenced to death by Cole Stone, Terence Carter stood up and bowed slightly. “Mr. Stone, would you like for us to move to the VIP room? You can also customize your personal bank card in the VIP room.”
He was careful.
He became respectful.
He was afraid that he would incur the slightest displeasure from Cole Stone.
“No need, I can handle it at the counter.”
Cole Stone rejected Terence Carter’s suggestion.
Terence Carter misunderstood that Cole Stone was still a little angry, so he did not dare to say anything. He turned around to help Cole Stone get his queue number and he personally handed it over to him. “All right. Here’s your queue number, Mr Stone.”
Cole Stone took it, thanked him, and left.
Terence Carter was flattered, but he did not say anything.
He could not help but feel regret in his heart.
But at the same time, he was also cursing Quinn Young.
If not for Quinn Young, he would’ve been able to establish a connection with Cole Stone.
But all of these were now impossible considering how he had just potentially offended Cole Stone all thanks to the idiot—Quinn Young.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Terence Carter became. He turned around and shouted at the stiff Quinn Young. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go back to your post. Prepare to submit a report.”
“From today onwards, I don’t want to see you anymore.”
“You’re incompetent!”
The humble Terence Carter did not dare to show displeasure at Cole Stone, but his anger towards Quinn Young multiplied.
His words were filled with ridicule and he ruthlessly humiliated her.
When enraged, the strong would draw his sword against the strong.
But the weak would draw his sword against the weak.
Society has always been like this!
Terence Carter’s ridicule became Quinn Young’s final straw.
Bang!
Her body, which was on the verge of collapsing, finally could not hold on any longer.
She fell limply onto the floor…
She was filled with regret.
