Chapter 3

“Please cancel the bank alerts going to this number and redirect all notifications to this one!” I said, producing Shao Yayun’s death certificate, ID, and company seal.

Since the phone number and bank account were registered to the same person, the bank was cooperative as well.

“Please transfer all the money into this account!” I said, taking out my own bank card after everything else was done.

The bank manager gave me a strange look, clearly thinking my earlier efforts had been completely unnecessary.

But I was a major client, and the money would still remain in their bank, so whatever doubts she had, she kept them to herself.

The death certificate proved crucial.

When the deposit notification appeared on my phone, I broke into a grin.

The money had originally been in the company’s corporate account.

Transfers from a corporate account to a personal account were generally limited to fifty thousand, and anything above that required the company seal, the financial seal, and the legal representative’s personal seal.

Without those seals, even if Shao Yayun wanted to transfer the money now, she could only move up to fifty thousand, and unfortunately for her, all the seals were in my hands.

I was certain Shao Yayun was still completely in the dark.

“I’d like to freeze all the money in my account for forty-nine days, during which no one, including me, can withdraw any of it!” I said, pulling another unexpected move.

“Mr. Zhou, why would you want to do that?”

The bank manager was thoroughly confused.

“This money belonged to my late wife and me, and even if I need to use it, I want to wait until after her first seven-day mourning period as a way of honoring her memory,” I explained.

The bank might not have bothered with an ordinary depositor, but I was a major client with over twenty million in deposits, so they promptly froze the account.

I was doing this to prepare for the next stage of my plan.

In my previous life, that bitch had not only taken every penny but also borrowed against our house, our cars, her parents’ house, and even the company.

Now I would follow her path and leave her nowhere to go.
