Chapter 550 Uncle Trevor
Hearing the two security guards' smug words, Trevor flushed with rage, his eyes practically bulging.
"Open that door—now!" he barked, his voice sharp enough to cut glass.
The guards were startled and turned to open the door, scratching their heads in confusion.
One of the guards thought to himself that what he had said earlier was fine and shouldn't have caused any problems. Was his attitude not firm enough?
As if to prove his point, the guard turned and added, "Mr. Dixon, don't worry. This employee interrogation room Ms. Saunders set up is rock-solid. Not even a fly could get out!"
Cynthia, standing nearby, nearly lost it!
"Move! What the hell are you even saying?!" she shrieked, her voice cracking.
The two guards froze. "But... but didn't you, Manager, tell us to—"
"Out of my way! NOW!" Cynthia shoved the guards aside, wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, and with a thud, dropped to her knees in front of the interrogation room door!
She banged her head on the ground—thud, thud, thud—in quick succession!
Her voice trembled as she pleaded, "Mr. Clark! I'm sorry, I didn't know your status was so distinguished! Please forgive me! It was all a misunderstanding. If I had known you were a special guest of Mr. Dixon, I would have..."
Soon, Cynthia's forehead was flushed red.
Combined with the three slaps Trevor had given her earlier, her cheeks were swollen, making her look both ridiculous and pitiful.
The two security guards watched with their mouths agape.
Soon, they also picked up on something from Cynthia's words.
Without a second thought, they dropped to their knees, mimicking her, and started groveling at the door, begging Ryder for mercy.
Trevor let out a shaky breath, relieved.
Hands trembling, he moved forward and pushed the door open.
Sure enough, inside the room stood a man and a woman.
It was Ryder and Lily!
The moment Trevor saw Ryder, his body shook.
"Indeed, the resemblance is uncanny!"
Was it reverence? Nostalgia?
Hearing this, Ryder also felt a jolt inside.
But he was attracted to the commotion outside the door. His eyes darted past Trevor and locked onto Cynthia, kneeling and begging at the door.
Their eyes met.
Cynthia froze, her body rigid.
Her lips quivered, desperate to explain, but the words stuck in her throat.
Ryder pointed at the door. "Mr. Dixon, this is the first time I've seen a bank with an interrogation room. That's quite something!"
Lily crossed her arms and chimed in, "Yeah, just trying to get a loan and we end up in a place like this!"
Ryder and Lily's back-and-forth made Cynthia, who was kneeling at the door, tremble with fear!
Trevor knew that today's incident required an explanation to Mr. Clark!
He walked up to Cynthia and directly kicked her.
Cynthia's entire body flew a short distance.
Trevor's voice was icy as he said, "You, and all the security guards involved today, don't need to come to work anymore!"
After saying that, Trevor escorted Ryder and Lily to his office.
Upon hearing that Lily wanted to apply for a loan, he immediately called the head of the loan department to assist her.
In the office, only Ryder and Trevor remained.
Sitting in his leather chair, Trevor straightened up.
The fawning expression on his face disappeared instantly.
He seemed like a completely different person from before.
Trevor began, "You know, John and I go way back. Ryder, you can call me Uncle Trevor! I saw you when you were just a kid—probably don't remember, huh? Later, I went overseas to work on some big financial projects. Three years ago, John told me to come back to New York and wait for you!"
Trevor went on, even getting a little emotional. "Finally, my patience paid off. I've been waiting for you, Ryder!"
"Uncle Trevor, nice to meet you!" Ryder replied, realizing this lined up with what Scott had told him earlier.
This "Uncle Trevor" title was well-earned!
They talked for a while.
As Ryder listened to John's accomplishments, he couldn't help but feel his father was shrouded in mystery.
Trevor shared his own tales from New York City, how he'd built connections with the city's elite, forming a tight-knit circle.
They'd ridden the highs and weathered the lows together.
By the end of it, Ryder was confident handing over the black card funds to Trevor.
Trevor promised he'd turn that hundred billion into a trillion.
Ryder nodded. "I look forward to your good news, Uncle Trevor!"
"Of course! Let me see you out! The chairman of Maple Group is definitely worth my flattery!"
At the bank entrance, Trevor reverted to his previous fawning demeanor.
He personally saw Ryder and Lily off, watching them leave.
Inside the bank, employees craned their necks to look outside.
They'd seen Mr. Dixon butter people up before, but never like this—especially not for some young guy.
And after watching Ms. Saunders and the four security guards get the boot, they were even more stunned.
Half an hour later, Ryder and Lily walked into a swanky restaurant.
Lily insisted on treating Ryder to a good meal!
The reason being, the loan had no interest, which was a great thing!
The money saved would be enough for her to expand her pet store here!
Lily knew very well that all of this was due to Ryder's true identity.
The two sat facing each other by the window.
Lily's beautiful eyes stared intently at Ryder, full of affection.
"Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Being stared at by Lily like that made Ryder feel a bit uncomfortable.
"No, I just think, Ryder, you're getting more and more handsome! What should I do? I feel like I can't marry anyone but you," Lily suggested.
Ryder laughed, "Let's not. One is already hard enough to handle!"
"No, I'm not like your beautiful wife who makes all sorts of demands on you. You wouldn't feel tired with me."
As Lily spoke, her foot under the table brushed against Ryder's shoe, seemingly unintentionally.
Ryder quickly pulled his foot back, instantly getting goosebumps.
Lily was getting more and more outrageous!
Lily continued, "Seriously, Ryder! Consider it. I'm so pretty, my figure is no worse than your wife's, I'm gentle, and I adore you."
At the same time, she got up and sat next to him.
Her long legs were revealed, slowly moving closer to Ryder.
