Braylen thought of the money offered by Jaslene and said, "Well, I didn't take it."
"Really?" Rayan responded coldly, "I may believe others, but I will never trust a single word from you!"
He gave Braylen a teasing smile, his leg shaking incessantly. "That’s five hundred thousand dollars! A person like you can never earn that amount of money in your lifetime! Would you refuse it?"
Braylen sighed, unwilling to argue anymore. "If you don't believe me, feel free to search."
Rayan chuckled, "What? I didn't expect you'd let me search."
Rayan swaggered over to Braylen and began reaching into Braylen’s pockets.
As Rayan searched, he sneered, "Once I find it, Braylen, I won’t let you go!" Then his expression brightened as he suddenly stopped.
With a sound, a black bank card was thrown in front of Braylen.
"Braylen! How do you explain this?" Rayan pointed at the card on the ground.
Clara scoffed, raising her voice. "Braylen, originally, I thought you were a decent man and would not take our money. But it turns out that you're just despicable and pathetic!"
Braylen looked down and seemed to think of something. "Clara, please take a closer look. Is that a bank card from Ealize Bank?"
"You don't deserve to call my name!" Clara replied in disdain, "Isn’t it from Ealize Bank?"
Rayan laughed, bending down to pick up the card. Suddenly, he froze. It was a black card with a knight's head in the center, glinting with a golden sheen. In one corner of the card was a subtly embossed UBS logo in dark gold.
"The Knight Gold Card? How... How can it be possible?" Rayan looked up at Braylen in shock.
That was a customized financial services card from UBS, provided to the world's elite. The Knight Card had three tiers, including the gold card, silver card, and bronze card. The gold one allowed unlimited global spending.
"How could a loser like you have this?" Rayan was stunned. "A Knight Gold Card is reserved for the top aristocracy in the world. How could a failure like you possess such a card?"
Clara then looked down, and her expression changed slightly. "It is indeed the Knight Gold Card."
"I've said many times that I haven't taken a single penny from your family." Braylen wore a calm face and bent down to pick up the card.
"Wait!" Clara shouted harshly, raising her hand to strike Braylen at the same time.
However, her wrist was caught before she could touch Braylen.
"What do you think you're doing?" Braylen asked coldly.
Clara shivered as if a cold chill was spreading from her fingertips throughout her body. She thought, ‘How could I be intimidated by the loser?’ Regaining her composure, she yanked her wrist free and glared at Braylen. "Is this your bank card?"
Braylen almost laughed out loud. "Sure enough."
Clara laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Gosh, is this failure claiming the precious Knight Card belongs to him? Who would believe that?"
Rayan laughed mockingly as well. He walked over to Clara and speculated, "Mom, could this be a gift from Master Hartman to Jaslene? And Jaslene gave it to Braylen by mistake?"
Rayan thought about it and realized that only Winston Hartman could obtain such a card for his sister.
Clara's eyes lit up, and then she exclaimed, "Winston is so generous to have given Jaslene such an expensive gift! But Jaslene must not have noticed it, and she gave the card to this failure!"
Clara's face darkened with a malicious glint as she demanded, "Braylen, return Winston's card immediately! If it gets dirty on your hands, Winston won’t let you go!"
"This is my card," Braylen said with a smile, casually twirling the card between his fingers. "Winston? He’s nothing in front of me and isn’t worthy of taking my things."
Clara got furious. "Do you know who Winston is? He's the eldest son of the Hartman family in Ealize City, with a noble status and a family business worth over a billion dollars. You, a worthless man, aren’t even fit to shine his shoes!"
Rayan waved his fist to threaten Braylen. "The Knight Gold Card was accidentally given to you by Jaslene. Now give it to me immediately! Otherwise..."
Braylen had lost his patience. "Get lost and stop blocking my way!" Then he moved to pass Rayan and Clara.
"Hey! Didn’t you hear me? I told you to return the Knight Gold Card!" Rayan shouted, raising his fist and charging at Braylen.
Rayan acted fast and fiercely.
However, Braylen simply sidestepped, avoiding his attack easily.
"Thud!" Rayan lost his balance and fell to the ground, chipping two of his front teeth.
"Ah!" Rayan lay on the ground, clutching his mouth as blood seeped through his fingers.
Rayan yelled angrily, "Braylen! How dare you hit me!"
Braylen looked down coldly at Rayan’s raging face, snorting, "You’re not even worthy of fighting with me."
"What are you doing, Braylen?" At that moment, a sharp voice suddenly came from behind. Hearing Jaslene’s voice, Braylen instinctively turned and saw her approaching with her secretary.
Seeing Jaslene, Clara knew she could have her on her side. She immediately helped Rayan up and cried out, "Jaslene, I’m so glad you’re here! Braylen just hit Rayan!"
Rayan, holding his bleeding mouth, looked pitiful. "Jaslene, you have to make him pay a heavy price!"
