Everyone gasped. The balance in Zoe's account left them speechless. They thought, 'How on earth is Zoe this rich?'
Bruce's eyes widened in utter shock. He thought, 'Even if I combine all the liquid and illiquid assets of the entire Evans family, I can't possibly scrape together 3 billion dollars.'
In other words, the money in Zoe's account could buy out the Evans family several times over.
Clara's jaw dropped in shock, and she nearly forgot to breathe. She thought, 'How could Zoe, the daughter I've always looked down on, be this wealthy? 3 billion dollars.
'What does that even mean? With that kind of money, she can stand head and shoulders above everyone in Jelonsburg.
'Even if Zoe completely severed ties with the Evans family, she'd still be one of Jelonsburg's elite all by herself.
'How can she possibly have so much money? Where on earth does it all come from? And if she is this wealthy, why has she always kept it from the family?'
The Evans brothers stood dumbfounded. They always thought Zoe had it rough out there. After all, she went to war as a kid just for a bite to eat, suffering all kinds of hardship.
They had figured she was dirt poor, and probably never even had a full meal. But reality hit them like a ton of bricks.
They thought, 'Turns out we're the penniless hicks next to Zoe. How humiliating! To her, our savings must not even count as chump change.'
Among them all, Eunice was hit the hardest. She didn't expect Zoe to be this rich. She said sourly, "What's the big deal? It's not like you earned it. Shawn just gave it to you."
But even as she spoke, Eunice knew she sounded ridiculous. After all, unless the Ludwigs had lost their minds, there was no way they'd fork over that much money to an outsider like Zoe.
Besides, if they had 3 billion dollars in cash, they would've invested it long ago. Even the Ludwigs couldn't just pull 3 billion in liquid cash out of a bank account like that.
Just as Eunice finished her snide remark, the auction manager stepped forward and flatly countered her. He said, "My apologies, madam, but our records clearly show this bank account belongs solely to Ms. Zoe Evans." His statement served as the final clarification for everyone.
His words sent shockwaves through the crowd once again. They felt that an ordinary person possessing such astronomical wealth was simply mind-blowing.
Just then, someone suddenly spoke up, "This money must be dirty."
Seizing the opportunity, Eunice immediately chimed in, "Zoe, what kind of shady dealings did you get into for this money? Don't tell me you broke the law?"
Everyone's eyes turned back to Zoe. They thought, 'Exactly. How could a young girl have that kind of money? Unless she's up to no good.'
Eunice suddenly cried out dramatically, "Zoe, I know you're a genius hacker, but surely you didn't steal money from someone else's account, did you? You'd better return it right now, or you'll end up in jail."
Eunice's words suddenly made everything click for the crowd. They thought, 'That's it! There's no way a young girl like her could have that much money unless she got it through some shady means.'
The crowd transformed into self-righteous vigilantes, determined to bring the villainous Zoe to justice. They shouted, "This is outrageous! Call the police! We must report her!"
Lurking within the crowd, Eunice fueled the fire with inflammatory remarks, whipping everyone into a frenzy. She thought, 'This time, there is no way Zoe could wriggle out of this.'
Seeing everyone start to doubt Zoe, the auction manager began to panic and immediately ordered an investigation into Zoe's account to check for any irregularities. But the results showed every single deposit on that bank card was completely legitimate.
When the manager saw the names of the people who had transferred money to Zoe, he trembled. He thought, 'These people are all business tycoons, the real power players of the industry.
