Elaine trotted up the stairs to the second floor and tried to open the door to Charlie and Claire’s room.
She grinned triumphantly when the doorknob twisted open easily.
Once she was inside the room, she began to rummage through their stuff.
However, it was their first day moving into the villa. They hadn’t had the time to keep their things in the
closets and there was nothing valuable laying around.
Elaine searched for a long time but couldn’t find Charlie’s wallet nor bank card. Just when she was in
the midst of frustration, her eyes blinked enthusiastically when she saw Charlie’s coat hanging in the
closet. She hurried forward and rummaged through the pockets for a while. Finally, she found a black
and gold bank card in one of the pockets.
The card was filled with words from some foreign language that she couldn’t comprehend except for
the fact that the card was from Citibank.
She didn’t know what kind of bank card it was even after looking at the cards back and forth carefully,
but the card looked pretty exclusive and extraordinary.
She was overjoyed with her findings. She quickly kept the card into her pocket while whispering to
herself, “Hehe, Charlie oh Charlie, you don’t want to give me money, huh? That’s fine. I’ll take it myself!
Also, if you had spoken in a slightly nicer tone just now, I might still leave you a few hundred dollars in
your account, but you treated me so badly and even used Jacob as your leverage, I’m sorry, Mister,
you’ve messed with the wrong person! Just wait and see, if I can guess your password correctly, I won’t
even leave you a penny!”
With the thumping heart, Elaine quietly left the villa and rushed to the nearest Citibank branch.

Charlie, who was keeping himself busy in the kitchen, had no idea that Elaine was gone with his card.
His phone suddenly rang when he was scrubbing the plates and utensils.
He took his phone out and gaped in excitement when he saw the indicator on the screen that said ‘Mrs.
Lewis’.
Charlie’s parents had died when he was eight years old. He would have died of starvation on the
streets if it weren’t for Mrs. Lewis from the orphanage.
Therefore, Charlie had always been grateful to Mrs. Lewis and had never forgotten her kindness and
grace towards him.
That was also why Charlie could muster the courage to borrow money from Lady Wilson during her
birthday banquet because he wanted to collect funds for Mrs. Lewis’s kidney transplant surgery.
Later, Stephen Thompson had appeared out of nowhere, and thanks to him, Mrs. Lewis was
transferred to Fairview Hospital in Eastcliff for the best treatment.
During this period of time, Charlie only knew that her surgery went well and that she underwent an
excellent recovery treatment thanks to Stephen’s arrangement. But he had not contacted Mrs. Lewis
since then, as he did not want to disturb her and had wanted to make sure she had the very much
needed rest post-surgery.
He quickly pressed the answer button and said, “Mrs. Lewis!”
Mrs. Lewis’s gentle and warm voice came from the other end of the line. “Hi, Charlie, it’s me. How are
you?”
He said excitedly, “I’m fine! How are you?”
Mrs. Lewis chuckled. “I’m doing very well, there is no sign of rejection aswell. The doctor said that I’m
recovering very well and I can be discharged soon. He also said that I can return to Aurous Hill in a few
days.”
Charlie was delighted. “That’s wonderful! Mrs. Lewis, please inform me on when you’ll be back. I’ll pick
you up from the airport and celebrate your recovery.”
“No, Charlie, I can’t let you spend more. If it weren’t for the nurse who had accidentally spilled the
beans, I wouldn’t know that it was you who paid the hospital bills, millions of dollars of it, for my surgery
and care. I don’t know how to thank you…”
Mrs. Lewis started sobbing.
Charlie felt a sense of tingling on his nose. “Oh, Mrs. Lewis, please don’t cry, I’m just doing all I can to
help you. Do you remember how when I was eight, I wandered on the streets for three days, starving
and exhausted? If you hadn’t brought me back to the orphanage then, I might have died on the streets
long ago…”
