The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Chapter 2841

Chapter 2841

Zayne wilted completely.

Although he wanted to give Charlie another 100 million US dollars to upgrade his living conditions to something at least decent, he no longer had so much money at his disposal.

Lord Banks kept very close control over the family’s financials.

Although Zayne was the eldest son, and he owned a lot of real estate as well as various other assets, the liquid assets under his control were not much to speak of.

The whole of the Banks family’s capital expenditures were through family credit, and while money could be spent, it was under the control of the family’s financial system.

Lord Banks was not stingy, but he was controlling.

His father wouldn’t stop him from buying an airplane for hundreds of millions of dollars but would insist on knowing about and approving the purchase in advance.

If any member of the Banks family dared to spend large sums without prior approval, or use the family credit for his own purposes, he would be severely punished by the family.

In order to consolidate financial power, the family’s financial team was completely at the mercy of Lord Banks alone.

They periodically audited the expenditures made by each of the Banks family heirs.

These audits were as detailed as to financial crimes investigations.

Therefore, none of the Banks family descendants dared to spend money indiscriminately behind the old man’s back.

When Zayne went behind his father’s back to pay Hamid $100 million US Dollars, it was an emergency.

If he tried this again, he would inevitably be severely punished by Lord Banks.

So Zayne knew very well that after that first transfer, there would be no more opportunities to repeat such a trick.

The old man might even have stopped his access to the family credit by now.

Besides, Zayne didn’t even have a phone to make a call and so it would be impossible to get money to give to Charlie in the first place.

There was really no choice but forbearance at the moment.

After taking his leave from Zayne, Oliver hurried away, leaving Zayne alone in his dilapidated courtyard.

Syria is warm and rainy in winter.

And as Zayne felt lost, a heavy rain poured on his head.

He hurriedly ducked inside, seeing the rain outside getting worse and worse, making the entire yard muddy and desperate looking.

Although winter in Syria is relatively warm, when it rains, the temperature drops down to about 10 degrees.

Between the dampness and the cold, Zayne quickly became uncomfortable.

He had no choice but to spread out the bedding and wrap himself in the blanket to listen to the sound of the rain falling outside.

Bored, Zayne subconsciously looked up at the wall and found that where the top of the wall was connected to the roof, many water marks had appeared out of nowhere.

Zayne clutched his legs tightly to his body with a sigh and curse, “This broken-down house is not only old but also allows water to seep in.

Still seepage was not that bad, so long as it didn’t turn into a full-blown leak.”

As soon as Zayne finished this thought, he felt something cold and wet hit his forehead.

Looking up, he saw that the seepage from the roof was gathering into drops of water and dripping down on his forehead.

Zayne touched his wet forehead, and couldn’t help crying, “Dammit! Is this damned roof leaking rain now? Is this misery endless?! I give up! Who could stand it?!”

It was a pity that no one could hear his question.

Even if the soldier standing guard next door could hear it, he couldn’t understand it at all.

…

Meanwhile, back in Aurous Hill

At the same time, Zara, Zayne’s eldest daughter, formulated a three-year plan for herself after a day and night of rest and thinking.

Although she did not hold high hopes for her chances of success, she remembered her promise to Charlie that she would become the head of the Banks family within three years.

Although it sounded like a fantasy, she didn’t want to disappoint Charlie. Therefore, she decided to work hard to achieve this goal starting today.

And her first plan was to thoroughly publicize the news of her and her mother’s safe return.

This was in part to shock her grandfather Lord Banks, and in part to ensure her mother’s and her own safety.
